Adryn was startled awake by the sound of Eclipse's loud laughter. Adryn instantly heard Taemin chuckle as he told Eclipse that she needed to keep it down due to the sleeping Reiji and Adryn. It was too late though, Adryn was awake now. So, Adryn leaned carefully away from Reiji to stretch a little bit. This is when Eclipse and Taemin turned around to see if Eclipse's laugh had woken anyone up.

"I woke you up, didn't I? I'm sorry." Eclipse muttered to Adryn. Adryn just shrugged her shoulders.

"How long have we been sleeping?" Adryn asked quietly but also loud enough to be heard over the movie.

"An hour or so." To Eclipse's words, Adryn nodded her head. She then snuggled back up against Reiji and under the blanket that had been put around them some time while they slept. Adryn then began to watch some of the movie. Adryn quickly realized that the movie was in Japanese and that it was a love story of some kind. She'd missed so much of the movie though, so she didn't really know everything that was going on. She did understand one thing though, the 2 main characters, or what seemed like them were chatting about how in love they were with each other. This made Adryn lose interest in the movie quickly. Just about that time, Adryn felt Reiji shift beside her, causing her to look over at him to see what was up. It turned out that Reiji was awake now and looking at the screen in confusion.
"Why are you so confused?" Adryn mumbled to Reiji who looked over at Adryn.

"I just didn't expect to see a romance movie on, is all." Reiji was sounding a little congested still, but it was a bit better now.

"We should make our own love story type of movie."

"That's a good idea for when we come out with our relationship." Reiji smiled at Adryn, prompting her to smile back.

"Speaking of relationships out in the open, what about you and Taemin, Eclipse?" Adryn looked to her best friend who turned to look back at her.

"We already have posted our relationship and our engagement." Eclipse simply stated with a smile.

"How did your fans take that?"

"Don't know. I don't bother reading messages and comments from fans when it comes to my personal life. I don't need any hateful or negative comments in my life."

"Ah, I see. I guess family and friend's words matter more than strangers' words anyway."

"Does that mean you won't be bothered if we get any negative comments about our relationship?" Reiji asked Adryn causing her to turn to look at him. Adryn laughed before responding.

"I'll probably be bothered to be honest but I won't let it get to me that much."

"Our fans matter, but their hateful words don't. Remember that."

"Of course," Adryn responded to her lover before moving to get up. "I'm thirsty and I'm gonna get a drink, anyone want something?"

"Sure. Water is good." Reiji responded before Eclipse and Taemin both responded the same thing.

"Alright, I'll bring a bunch of water back then." Adryn then climbed out of the blanket that she had with Reiji before heading out of the room. Before heading to the kitchen, Adryn decided to sneak a peek at her and Eclipse's cubs. However, when she peeked her head into the cubs' room, she saw Ranmaru in there playing with the cubs. Both Ranmaru and Adryn paused and stared back at each other. "Hey there Ranmaru."

"Hey." With that response from Ranmaru, he went back to playing with the cubs. He had one of the cat toys and was playing with Serenity, while Precious just watched and thought about joining in on the fun.

"I thought you were working on your last song with Ai?"

"Already finished it."

"I see..." Adryn then walked over and sat down next to Ranmaru and Serenity. Adryn reached out to her cub, causing her to move away from Ranmaru and to Adryn. Adryn began to pet her cub as Ranmaru watched them.

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"I was getting drinks for Eclipse, Taemin, and Reiji."

"You should go get them drinks, Reiji needs to stay hydrated." Hearing this from the silver-haired male, Adryn smiled.

"It's nice how you care about Reiji."

"I don't." Ranmaru's response was immediate, which caused Adryn to laugh.

"It's alright to admit it, I won't tell Reiji."

"Secrets are bad for relationships."

"Some secrets are alright, as long as they aren't too bad." Everything was silent for a few moments before Ranmaru spoke up.

"You aren't allowed to interfere in QUARTET NIGHT and our existence."

"You know, Ranmaru, I was a fan of QUARTET NIGHT long before my relationship with Reiji. I always plan on being a fan of you guys. I'll never do anything to hurt you all in any way." Adryn spoke as honestly as she could. This caused Ranmaru to study her for a moment to judge if she was telling the truth or not. He then went back to playing with Serenity and Precious. "The cubs really like you. It's a shame you'll be leaving soon."

"I agree. I wish I could have spent more time with them since we're leaving as soon as we finish recording all our songs."

"I'm sorry that your partner went all crazy because of me and had to be taken away. I hope you guys can perform your songs after Nova is healthy again."

"You shouldn't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault."

"Thank you, Ranmaru." Adryn then stood up and headed for the door. "Good luck with everything and have fun with the cubs."

"Yeah, good luck with you too." Ranmaru's words were quiet, but Adryn had excellent hearing and picked his words up. This brought a smile to her face as she made her way to the kitchen. Adryn was finally able to grab a few bottles of water and then headed back to the theater room. Adryn entered the theater room, headed to Taemin and Eclipse to hand them their waters before returning to Reiji's side.

"Here you go," Adryn spoke to the sleepy man. Reiji was hardly awake, but just awake enough to take a drink of water. He then allowed Adryn to drink her own water before leaning against her completely. His head landed on her shoulder and he got all snuggled up to her.

"Wake me up when the movie ends," Reiji mumbled as he slowly began to fall back asleep.

"I'll be sleeping too. So, Eclipse can you wake us up later?"

"I'll set my alarm on my phone. I'll be sleeping as well. This movie sucks ass." Eclipse responded with a laugh. So Eclipse did just that. She set her phone alarm for the remaining time on the movie, got all snuggled up to Taemin, and then drifted off to sleep. Adryn got all close to Reiji and then fell asleep as well. They fell asleep listening to the sounds of random drama on the screen, not that anyone was paying attention to it anymore.

Eclipse woke up a few hours later to her phone going off. She turned off the alarm, stretched, and then turned to wake up Taemin, who was already awake and looking right at her. Eclipse jolted, nearly falling from her seat. Taemin caught her and steadied her so she could move back into her seat normally.

"How long have you been up?" Eclipse asked Taemin quietly.

"I never fell asleep. I've just been watching you sleep this whole time." Taemin responded, probably trying to sound romantic, but it came out weird, causing Eclipse to laugh to herself.

"I hope I didn't make any weird noises in my sleep..."

"Nope, you're good," Taemin responded with a chuckle. Eclipse smiled at him before turning to look at Adryn and Reiji. They were still asleep and all snuggled up with each other. They looked adorable and it made Eclipse happy to finally see Adryn truly in a good relationship. However, Eclipse knew that they wanted to be woken up, so Eclipse headed to them and shook Adryn.

"Hey, wake up," Eclipse called out to Adryn. Adryn proceeded to open her eyes look at Eclipse before closing her eyes once more. "YEE!" Eclipse's tone was manly and deep. Adryn instantly opened her eyes and looked up at Eclipse confused and worried.

"The fuck?" These were the first words out of Adryn's mouth. Somehow this didn't wake Reiji up but did cause Taemin to burst out into laughter from his seat in the background.

"You have been sleeping a lot recently." Eclipse pointed out, completely ignoring the confusion still on Adryn's face.

"I'm always tired and up for a nap."

"I'm already ready for another nap," Reiji muttered, having woken up from hearing Adryn's voice. His voice was all growly and strained. He then began to cough a few times before he sneezed.

"Are you alright?"

"I could use some more medicine or something. My throat hurts now."

"Let's go get you some throat lozenges or something. It should help."

"I'd love something to help. My throat is all raspy now."

"You do sound a little different than usual." Adryn pointed out with a frown. Reiji smirked though.

"Do I sound sexy?" Reiji was trying to sound sexy, which just caused him to cough painfully. Adryn laughed a little bit along with Eclipse, causing Reiji to pout. "You don't have to be mean about it..." Reiji then pushed the blanket off of him and went to get up. "I don't want to see you right now." Reiji declared to Adryn as he tried to stand. Adryn instantly grabbed his arm.

"Wait! I'm sorry. I love your raspy voice, but I'd rather hear your normal voice because I love it more."

"Oh, really?" Reiji seemed to be fine with Adryn nodding her head. So, then Reiji sat back down. All the while, Eclipse returned to Taemin's side. "I wish I could kiss you right now, but I don't want to risk giving you my cold." Adryn then just grabbed Reiji's face, leaned over, and kissed his forehead. This all surprised Reiji.

"I'm going to kiss you whenever I feel like it. Maybe just sometimes not on the lips when it shouldn't happen." Adryn declared proudly to Reiji. This brought a smile to his face.

"I'll gladly accept your kisses, no matter where they are placed."

"What kind of places are you talking about?" Eclipse's tone was suggestive, prompting Adryn to blush deeply. Reiji's reaction was to panic laugh as Taemin and Eclipse actually laugh at their reactions. Adryn and Reiji then look at each other, this caused them both to laugh nervously with each other. However, after a moment of laughing, Adryn got up and stretched.

"We should go get those throat lozenges and get you some medicine." Adryn looked to Reiji, who nodded his head. "You guys coming?" Adryn directed at Eclipse and Taemin.

"Nah, we'll watch another movie until dinner," Eclipse responded simply.

"Alright." Adryn and Reiji then left the room and headed to the kitchen with Reiji coughing most of the way there. Once in the kitchen, Adryn began to rummage through the drawers and cupboards until she found the lozenges. She then gave them to Reiji but told him to take the medicine first. He did, taking it with water before putting the lozenges into his mouth. Reiji then cringed when he tasted them.

"These aren't as good as they sounded. They say cherry... They aren't cherry..." Reiji pouted but kept them in his mouth anyway.

"I'm sorry, but they'll make you feel better."

"Thank you for taking such good care of me, Adryn."

"I love you, so I'll always take care of you." Seeing how honest Adryn was, Reiji smiled and went to her and hugged her tightly. She wrapped her arms around him back and they stood there in the kitchen holding each other for a little while.

"What are you doing?" Adryn and Reiji broke apart to see Ai standing there, confused.

"Bonding." Reiji simply stated with a smile. Ai studied them for a moment before the confusion faded.

"Have you two finished up your songs yet?"

"No, we still have one more to finish up."

"When will you finish it?"

"Maybe tonight after dinner if Reiji feels up to it," Adryn responded in place of her lover. Ai just nodded his head before bringing up another one of his concerns.

"You seem a little different." Ai pointed out, looking at Reiji.

"He's sick so he's probably a little off," Adryn said to Ai, a little confused.

"No, it's because of you."

"Me?"

"Before, he was so focused on his work. QUARTET NIGHT was the only thing he cared about. Now though, he seems to care about other things as well. Especially you."

"I've been an idol for so long, it's surprising to me that I really started to care about someone." Reiji finally spoke up for himself.

"I don't care about your personal life, as long as it doesn't affect your work." Ai's words were harsh but to the point.

"Ranmaru said something similar to me a little bit ago." Adryn mentioned mostly to herself.
"Camus might say something similar as well if he wants to."

"No offense, but I wish you all would understand that I'm not going to purposefully affect your work lives. I'm not going to purposefully hurt anyone or anything, so you all can calm down."

"They're just worried about me," Reiji stated, causing Ai to frown instantly.

"No, we're worried about QUARTET NIGHT." With those words, Ai left the room, not seeing the pout on Reiji's face.

"It's nice that they care about you, despite what they say." Adryn smiled at Reiji. This caused him to chuckle but also caused him to cough. Once he collected himself, trying to not choke on the lozenges, Reiji spoke up.

"I'm glad we all care about each other now. It wasn't always like that." Reiji admitted in a bittersweet tone.

"I wish my own group had a strong bond like your group does. Things aren't going too good for us recently..."

"Speaking of that, do you think Nova will be healthy enough to return one day?"

"She has to be. PURGATORY isn't a group without Nova."

"It's nice that you care so deeply about her."

"It isn't caring. Nova needs to return because no one wants to explain why she suddenly left and never returned. Besides, Eclipse and I need our sister back." Adryn then sighed to herself. "I don't have too many feelings of caring for Nova anymore, but she was our third member ever since she was born." Reiji just nodded his head to her words. They were then interrupted by his stomach growling.

"Oh..." Reiji was a little shocked over his own stomach, but Adryn just chuckled.

"It seems like you're hungry. That's a good sign."

"I'm torn between eating and sleeping right now."

"You'll sleep better if you eat before sleeping." Reiji seemed to agree with Adryn, so she then went to making him something simple and easy on the stomach. As she cooked, well microwaved, Reiji nearly fell asleep on the chair at the counter. Thankfully, he caught himself before he fell off the chair though. "Here, eat slowly and as much as you can," Adryn stated as she set the food in front of Reiji. He did as she told him and he ate and ate until he couldn't eat anymore.

"Thank you, Adryn." Reiji sleepily muttered as she moved to clean up the mess she'd made.
"Come on, my sleepy boy. You need to rest up now." Adryn then pulled Reiji along with her until they reached an empty living room. "Rest here."

"I want you to sleep with me," Reiji stated as he laid down on the couch.

"Can't. I want to get some work done on our last song. I have some inspiration for it." Adryn then gently set a blanket onto Reiji, who instantly snuggled up with it. Adryn bent down, kissed Reiji's forehead, and then left the room. Reiji just watched her leave, suddenly not feeling as tired as he did a few moments ago. He still wanted to rest, so he just laid there thinking and staring at the wall in front of him.

Reiji began to think about his life and how it was going then, now that Adryn was in it. He figured that they'll be doing more work with Adryn and her group in the future and that their groups would be getting along just fine... hopefully. Reiji also thought about his relationship with Adryn and how it will be going. He hoped that it would be a long and fulfilling relationship.

"I hope everything goes well with Adryn and me... especially after I leave the mansion..." Reiji muttered to himself before he drifted off to sleep, as he thought about Adryn and their relationship.
