The moon shone bright as the figure looked out the window. His messy black hair, ruffled as he stared, tiredly at the moon. Despite how tired he was, he couldn't sleep. At all. A million thoughts running into his head at once, and despite how much they wanted to stop them, he couldn't. They were unsure as to why they were worried. It's just a simple vow, theirs and Azure's indoctrination into the cult...right? He sighed, running a hand throughout his hair, and as he had done so, his cloak moved, ruffling with the motions. He walked towards the kitchen area, not bothered by how small his house was. They open the fridge, looking inside not for food, but for something to drink. Maybe the tea Azure had made them prior the night before would help them sleep. After all, even before his worries he had trouble sleeping beforehand. Insomnia, they called it. He was about to grab the container, before he heard a slight,soft knock at his door. They sigh, closing the refridgerator door, as they walked towards the door, hugging themselves as they done so, their sleeves hanging. The knocking sounded once more,quicker,and impatient. He hesitated. What if it was his father? What if they were...angry? He shook his head,quickly dismissing the thought. If he was. He would deal with it accordingly. Or...try. He inhaled sharply, opening the door, only letting it go, as they seen it was Azure. Not Amarah. He greeted his fellow cultist, and, partner at that, with a small wave.
"Can..I come in?"
The male,known as Azurewrath,Azure for short,asked, his voice, quite soft-spoken. Two-Time nodded, stepping aside as he let them in,closing the door after.
"I...won't be staying here long."
Azure confessed. Two-time was disappointed,but his face gave nothing,as he nodded.
"Why are you here?"
He asked, noting the small package his boyfriend has in their hands.
"Well...For one I wanted to ask if you were alright. You've...been jumpy and...spacing out a LOT lately, it's even gotten to the point Amarah noticed."
His lover replied, Two-Time flinched as a response,laughing nervously as he prepared a response.
"I've..Been fine. I just can't sleep,y'know?"
Azure frowned, not replying for a second, or a minute more. Two-Time sweated nervously, as Azure finally responded.
"If..you say so. You do know, that as a fellow believer, AND your boyfriend I AM here for you...right? And so's your father. Even IF it doesn't seem like it."
They pointedly state, Smirking as they knew they had a point. Two-Time chuckled.
"Yeah..Yeah. I know,dork. And I know my dad's here for me,despite being busy runnin' this place."
Azure giggled in response, before sighing.
"Another reason..why I'm here,too. Amarah wanted to see you. I don't know why he wants to see you, but if it's this early it must be important. You know how he gets when someone makes him wait..."
At the last statement, Two-Time winced. He knew how angry his father gets. Especially when people take their time doing things.
"Yeah..What's that you have,though?"
Two-Time pointed at the package,tilting his head as he had done so. Azure gasped, as if he had forgotten he had been holding such the whole time.
"Oh! Oh, yes! Thank you for reminding me! I got you a present. I grew them myself! They remind me of you!"
He handed them the package,smiling. Two-Time took the package,opening it and diving his hand into the bag. What he fished out, was hairpins. Two hairpins that had Nightshade's attached. His favorite flower. He smiled.
"Thank you. They're perfect. Like you."
Azure slightly giggled in return, nodding.
"Well... I'll see you later, hm? Sleepyhead?"
Before Two-Time could formulate a response, Azure left.
