[RL with Zechs, Tyki and Rufus]

[clockmaster]

Hakuba shivered, the weather wasn't any better now than when he left Gaia a few days ago. He nearly killed himself driving the iced road, he still needs more driving lessons. The detective couldn't use the flying broom, he gave it to that demon woman, Trish, anticipating that Elphaba would not mind. He imagined that the witch would symphatize with another woman who was being hunted like her, and, after all, the broom will fly back to it's original owner if something goes wrong. If not, he would just have to deal with another psychopathic friend.

The boy realy hoped that all was going well on the Ark...Tyki was really alive, and he remembered Zechs and the community. Such a relief. Hakuba was still worried and a bit scared, but damn him if he was going to left that kind of emotions to take control. Hakuba was in front of Zechs's door now, he had the keys of the apartmen, but he hesitated. Zechs was less than joyful when he prevented him to go to his lover's side for the second time. Knowing that trying to trying to delay the inevitable was useless, he opened the door carefully.

"Zechs?"

If it were not for Tyki's arms around him, Zechs would consider moving ... to the chair, or maybe to the kitchen, or somewhere. Because he very much wanted to hold tightly to his lover, and not ever let go. But he was also feeling shamed, belittled, and even more weak than before. Part of him unhealthily thought Tyki was right for having an eye kept upon him. Part of him unhealthily was angry at Tyki. He wasn't that fragile. Even if he would have withdrawn.

Zechs' arms tightened around Tyki in return. "... From my own perspective, it had only been two weeks. Yet, I suppose I should be glad you keep your memories of ... the forum, if you had a longer absence from it than I." Perhaps he had gleaned some information from the ZERO after all. That possibility was indeed there, and quite clear to him.

It would be needless to repeat he had been worried. Instead, his emotions whirling within from everything, he asked, "... You hadn't needed my assistance at all, had you?"
