Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Don't worry. Heroes always come back, silly." Zephit nodded slightly, trying to convince both him and her that it was truth. Then he leaned in forcefully, stealing a kiss from her while he still felt coherent enough to do so. Then the world literally felt like it was spinning, in the worst possible way, and he draped his arms around her to try and stabilize himself. Only for his body to take the action as one too many stresses and try to drop him back to sleep.

"I'll let you help me, on one condition..." Zephit was whispering, not sure he could manage to be any louder than that. "I'm feeling kind of tired, so could you lay down with me, please?"

[[Don't hate the nonsensical love. We are going for Romance Comedy speed, I think. Anyway, gotta hit the old dusty trail back to my parent's house for the weekend. Should take a couple of hours, so I might be on tonight.]]

{{Zephit had to head home and will be offline for awhile. He said I could say he passed out, so I'll go ahead and do that and head us out. I'll be leaving soon, too.}}

Amy could barely stomach anymore of this. Surely they must have known each other before GGG because no one in their right mind would act this way around each other if they just met. This was nuts! She was about to throw up in her sink... Okay, not literally, but the sentiment was there.

Suddenly, she heard a thump and quickly turned around. Zephit's head had fallen on the table. He had passed out!

Amy gasped and Phoenix meowed pitifully in worry. He was looking up at Zephit's upper body lying over him and pawed at him in worry.

Amy went over to the table and started to get Zephit back up. She used her powers to get some wind to come through the windows and help her out. She was able to get Zephit to his room and laid him down.

"Liada, I'll be calling BARC and asking someone from there to come over and check on Zephit. I'm sure they can help with their expertise. I'll make sure to remind Zephit that you were here when he wakes up. But thank you for stopping by. I'm glad he got to see you. He had been wanting to. But he won't be up for more for quite some time. You... You can stop back by in a few days, though, if you want."

She'd just have to make sure she was in another room or wearing ear muffs.

Amy got her phone out and called BARC.

{{got to go. Work is almost out and I still have to make a quick post in BARC!}}

(( twisted I agree on the vote for sacrificing Draa. Also blame this one for the "soulmate" thing. *points to the passing out cat boy* He started it first. xp Otherwise I'm not the only one who gets sappy around here. Anywho time to tuck a kitty in bed. ))

Liada sighed at him and slightly shook her head. He really was hopeless but couldn't help but smile at his kiss. She looked over to Amy when he passed out in her arms and gave her an apologetic face. sweatdrop Any chance you can show me his room so I can tuck him in? I won't stay since this is your place and I'm sure I've overstayed my welcome, but I'm going to make sure he's resting properly first. Once Amy showed him where his room was they both tucked him in and the cat curled up at his side. Smiling and at least Amy had the brains to call a doctor for him she politely thanked Amy for letting her visit Zephit and left the house. She would have to look into this James person and find out what the hell he was up to with all this.

"Lunch?" Zephit asked drowsily, though it came out much more pathetic than that. He had been getting progressively worse since the day before, and even the stupid doctor couldn't tell what was wrong. Zephit knew they probably wouldn't, this was something else. It felt like his existence was just flickering out.

"Whatever is fine." He was tired of being taken care of already. His heart told him it was insincere, and so did experience. People didn't even want to take care of him when he was a cat, and now that he was a bigger burden it made even less sense. Zephit just needed to get up and onto his feet, and start getting to the bottom of this.

"I'm going to shower, in the meantime." Slowly he sat up and shuffled to the side of the bed, trying not to disturb Phoenix.

He wasn't actually sure if he could get back out of the bathtub after getting in it either. Zephit was sure a shower or a bath would be a challenge, but he decided not to make a fuss with Amy. Taking her support he walked into the bathroom and sat on the edge of the tub to get the water started. It took him a few minutes to get the temperature right, but finally he got it hot enough to feel.

Then he shuffled out of his pajamas carefully, trying not to topple over into the water while doing so. When he was down to his boxers, his eye came up to Amy and his face found the energy to blush.

"A-are you just going to watch me...?"

{{Sorry! Didn't see your post until now.}}

Amy had helped Zephit to the bathroom, but she had turned her back while he had gotten undressed. She didn't want to leave and shut the door because she was very worried he might slip and fall with how weak he was. This way, she'd be right there if he needed help.

Amy heard Zephit's question and chuckled softly, trying to keep everything light. "Well, it's not proper for a person to watch another get undressed, Zephit, but I want to be here in case you need my help. You... you're still very weak. I can understand about wanting to take a bath while you're sick. Sometimes it can make you feel better, but you need someone nearby in case you need help getting in and out of the bath. Are you doing okay so far?"

{{Nervous? Zephit is the one who asked Amy to give him a bath to begin with, like that was the normal thing for her to do.}}

[[Some things are awkward when someone is watching you do them, not when someone else is involved. Like sunbathing or getting your hair cut.]]
