Getting better

"Want me to take care of it~" Keralis asked, voice sing song.

"If you don't mind~" Xisuma replied.

Etho was at his weekly therapy session, Joel waiting in the lobby. Etho had his claws out, the urge to scratch his wrists kicking in slightly. Etho resisted, the therapist helping him through it.

"You're okay..." The therapist said, voice soft, "breathe... feel the floor beneath your feet..."

Etho listened, and took a deep breathe in, and out. He felt his feet on the floor. It all grounded him, and he put his class away, though the urge still remained.

"Good..." the therapist said softly, "you're doing a lot better, Etho."

"I- I am?" Etho asked.

"Yes, yes you are," the therapist stated softly, smiling, "you resisting the urge to scratch your wrists means you've come a long way..."

"T-Thanks.." Etho said.

"Now, our time is up," the therapist said, standing up, "how about we get more into the relationships of you and your friends next session, it could help get some stress off of your chest."

"I, I guess.." Etho replied, standing up and moving to the door.

"Have a good day, Etho," the therapist said, smiling.

"You too," Etho said, leaving.

Etho made his way to the lobby, where he found an asleep Joel. Etho smiled, and walked up to Joel, and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. Joel didn't wake up, and Etho sat next to him and patiently waited for him to wake up. Joel woke up a few minutes after Etho sat down.

"Did I fall asleep...?" Joel asked.

"Yeah," Etho replied.

Etho and Joel laughed a bit and stood up. They made their way out of the building, and into the limo that was waiting for them outside. The driver drove them to Joel's place, and parked once they arrived. Joel saw the other limo already parked, and instantly brightened up. Joel rushed out of the limo, and inside where he found the driver that drove Keralis and Xisuma home.

"Where's Dad and papa Keralis?" Joel asked.

The driver shuttered, "They're still in the car."

"Alright!" Joel said, making his way back outside where he left Etho.

Joel moved towards the car Xisuma and Keralis were in, and stopped a foot away. Joel heard, clapping, and the sounds of Keralis moaning.

"Mm~ X~" Joel heard from inside the car.

Joel's face lit up red, and he walked to where Etho was.

"Are they-" "Yep!" Joel exclaimed, cutting off Etho.

Etho laughed, and the two made their way inside. Soon after, they started chatting. A few minutes later, Keralis and Xisuma came in, wearing each other's shirts. The two were sweaty, and panting.

"S-so," Keralis said, "now what?"

"Shower?" Xisuma asked.

"Probably..." Keralis replied.

"MS!" Xisuma yelled loudly.

MS quickly found his way to where Xisuma and Keralis were.

"The limo needs cleaned...." Xisuma said sheepishly.

"Did you two do it in the car again?" MS asked.

"Yeah..." Xisuma replied.

The three moved to the bathroom, which was like a gym bathroom. Walk in showers with pull curtains on one side, and stalls on the other.

"Sirs, we can only clean the car so much before it is actually stained," MS stated.

"I know..." Keralis said.

Keralis walked into one of the showers. It was a small hallway like thing, with a curtain in the middle, and a curtain at the entrance. Past the curtain in the middle was the actual shower. Xisuma followed Keralis. MS heard shuffling clothes.

"Shall I take them to the laundry?" MS asked.

"Yeah," Xisuma replied.

Keralis slid the clothes the two had on under the curtain, and MS grabbed a tiny clothing basket and put the clothes in. MS walked away.

"They're going to be in there for a while..." MS said.

MS put the clothes in the laundry, and went about his usual day.

Still kinda surprised I don't have someone saying who MS is. It's not that obvious, but if you've seen something, you might be able to piece it together.

Not sure why I ended it there. Probably cause I need sleep and I wanted to release a chapter. Everything is being worked on, dw. It's just being slow ;-;
