Wed. cont.
"Takeshi I got you lun…" Eclipse walks in and stops when she sees Ren.
"Oh hey," Ren looks over at her with a small smile.
"Hey. Looks like you're feeling better," Eclipse gives her a small smile back before putting the tray of food she was carrying on the bedside table.
"I guess, I didn't really have any injuries," Ren shrugs as she stands up from sitting on the bed.
"Yeah, true. How is he?" Eclipse sits in one of the chairs.
"Asleep now. Still in pain though but I don't think it's as bad," Ren shrugs as she sits back down in the same chair she sat in earlier.
"To be honest, I'm surprised you're in here," Eclipse sighs.
"How so?" Ren gives her a confused look.
"Well, I thought you two weren't on good terms," Eclipse shrugs.
"Oh, yeah, well… I guess you could say that in that cave, some things happened and some things were said…" Ren sighs as she looks at from Takeshi to Eclipse.
"Like what?" Eclipse studies her before glancing at Takeshi.
"Nothing major. Don't worry about it," Ren shakes her head trying to dismiss the subject.
"You two aren't dating now, are you?" Eclipse shifts her weight.
"What? No!" Ren laughs in surprise.
"Ok, cool," Eclipse lets out a long sigh of obvious relief.
"You really like him, don't you?" Ren studies Eclipse as they sit there.
"Yeah, I mean… at first it was just the assignment, or, the role I was given, but… over the past few weeks, I've gotten really comfortable in the position. I guess I started liking him, and liking being his girlfriend," Eclipse shrugs with a small laugh.
"Ren?" Takeshi suddenly mumbles as he slowly opens his eyes, interrupting their conversation.
"Yeah, hi. I'm here," Ren quickly turns to face him.
"Who else is here?" He slowly starts to sit up.
"Hey Takeshi," Eclipse gives him a small wave.
"Oh, hey…" he looks at Eclipse then back at Ren. "I'm hungry."
"Eclipse brought you some lunch," Ren motions at the food.
"Thanks," he gives Eclipse a small smile as she starts to hand him the tray of food.
"No problem," she gives him a small smile back.
"So, how long was I out?" Takeshi asks Ren as he starts to eat.
"Just an hour or so. Not too long," Ren shrugs.
"That kinda sucks. It felt longer," he lets out a small laugh.
"You're telling me?" Ren laughs back. Eclipse watches the two before starting to stand up.
"Where're you going?" Takeshi looks at her.
"I have to talk to my mom. Make sure you get some more rest, ok?" She gives him a small smile.
"Oh, ok," he studies her as she walks over to him.
"Be good," she kisses his cheek before leaving the room.
"That was weird," Takeshi sighs before going back to eating.
"I should let you get some more rest," Ren sighs as she starts to stand up.
"Wh... now you're both leaving me?" he looks at her with confusion.
"Well you need to rest and if I sit here any longer I'm gonna fall asleep myself," Ren laughs as she stretches.
"Mhhh… ok I guess," Takeshi sighs, looking back at the tray of food.
"What's wrong?" Ren looks at him.
"I… nothing… I'm just glad you're ok," Takeshi slightly shrugs.
"Takeshi… what's wrong?" She studies him with a worried expression.
"I need energy. Ember's holding it back from me cause she thinks I'm going to run off and do something stupid again," he sighs and stares at the bedsheets.
"You have Eclipse… and I have a boyfriend Takeshi," Ren shakes her head with a sigh.
"Ember would kill me if she saw fang bite marks on Eclipse's neck. The whole kissing way won't work right not seeing as I'm so weak. But, it's fine. I'm glad you're ok," Takeshi puts the tray on the side table before lying down under the covers and turning so his back is towards Ren and the door.
"Takeshi…" Ren sighs.
"It's fine. Go rest," he mumbles before Maiman walks into the room.
"Oh, hey. Glad to see you're doing well," Maiman walks in in her human form.
"Hey Maiman. I was just leaving," Ren starts walking towards the door. Maiman moves to the side so she can leave, which she does. After Ren leaves, Maiman walks over and sits on the bed next to Takeshi.
"What did you say to her?" Maiman studies Takeshi as his back is still facing her.
"Nothing sis chill," Takeshi grumbles.
"You obviously said something to make her upset. I could see it in her face and feel it in her presence," Maiman lets out a long, irritated sigh.
"Maiman. I didn't say anything ok?" He sighs with a yawn.
"Ok fine, but… any idea what's wrong with Eclipse? I passed her in the hall and she was really upset," Maiman studies Takeshi as he rolls over to face her.
"No, not really. She came in earlier when Ren was in here but I was asleep when she first came in. After I woke up, she was quiet and it seemed like something was bothering her, but, I'm not sure what," Takeshi lets out a long sigh.
"Where was Ren sitting?" Maiman glances out of the window.
"On the bed next to me I think," he slightly shrugs.
"Oh. I get it now," Maiman sighs and shakes her head lightly.
"What? Get it how?" He raises an eyebrow.
"Brother, you really are clueless. Eclipse really likes you. Like, she really really likes you," she lets a small laugh escape her lips.
"Well we are coworkers. So, I guess it'd be good to be on good terms with each other and like each other," Takeshi gives Maiman a confused look.
"No Takeshi. Not just like that. She…" Maiman starts but stops herself with a long sigh. "She likes you Takeshi. More than a friend."
"Wh… what?" He looks at her with even more confusion plastered on his face.
"Get some rest. I'll come by for dinner," Maiman stands up and walks towards the door.
"Sis!" Takeshi calls after her but she leaves, closing the door behind her. He lets out a small grumble before rolling over slowly and staring out of the window at the clouds in the sky.
"What does she mean? Like, Eclipse wants to actually date me? But, we're coworkers. We just met like a month or so ago… I… I don't know," Takeshi talks to himself before falling asleep.
