The title is an apology from me to Vee.

You know why :-)

also clingy!Xemon is now canon lol

-----------------------

[Xemon POV]

I woke up alone. Which was odd. Normally, Hels would wait for me to wake up, instead of risking waking me up. 

Maybe something came up with Wels.

He better not be dead...

I'd be the next dead if that happens.

And it wouldn't be from the murderer :)

But he's probably doing something, I'd just wish he'd told me what he'd be doing. 

Thinking about it, Hels doesn't have to tell me everything he does. I'm just being clingy anyways. Maybe I should hang out with Xisuma, or eat something that's actual food, and not cereal or a granola bar. Maybe some Cheez-its?

...

Eating's not going to take my mind off of where Hels could be, is it?

I shouldn't want or need to do this, but I guess I'm going to check every room. 

He's not in any of the bedrooms, the living room, or the kitchen...

Maybe he's in the basement?

Nope.

...

The steps are sort of my safe place, but I do and don't want to be reminded of Hels, now that he's missing...

No, not missing, just, nowhere I know of.

I'm going to talk to X, or try and join a game of UNO with Grian and Scar. 

I need to take my mind off of this.

Especially since I don't want to break down, I don't need to ruin my reputation.
