THEIA WOKE up, her eyelids opening slowly, revealing a dark room. The sun didn't shine through the windows like it normally would if she hadn't been in a room without windows.

The events of what happened last night flooded back to her. She didn't know whether to feel regret or happiness but when she turned over and saw Druig leaning in the doorway, she felt happiness shift into her body and her stomach fluttered.

He smiled softly at her and got off of the doorway and walked over to where she had been on the bed, "good morning."

The tips of her lips curled into a small smile, his eyes lit up at the sight.

"Any regrets?" He asked, he held himself with a sense of confidence, something she hadn't seen him have when it was only the two of them, it was refreshing.

Surprising both of them, after a moment of thinking, she shook her head.

He bit his lip, hiding what would have been a grin. "Good. I'm glad."

She pressed the covers to her chest, the sheets being the only thing from her breasts being revealed, she grabbed her bra off of the ground, "Could you, uh, help me put this one?" she asked him, motioning to her shoulder. "I can't really do it with my shoulder."

"Nothing I haven't seen before."

Rolling her eyes, "I'd like to have some breakfast."

He chuckled, grabbing the buckle.

His cold fingers were brushing over her bare back and she felt herself suck in a breath as he buckled it slowly, teasing her.

When he finished, she let out a deep breath causing him to laugh, "My sweatpants are on the floor. I have no idea where your pants or shirt went." As he walked out of the room.

She let herself recover for a moment before standing up and sliding on the pants. And yawned as she walked out of Theia's room, closing the door behind her. Being in only her bra and Druig's sweatpants, they all looked at her, wide-eyed and mouths agape.

Sersi raised an eyebrow, "That explains the noises." taking a sip from her coffee.

"Noises?" Theia shoved her hands in her pockets and walked to the fridge, opening it.

"Noises," Sprite confirmed, her tone laced with disgust.

"Hm...What kind of noises?" She asked, setting the bottle of orange juice on the counter and grabbing a cup from the cupboard.

"Heavy breathing." Sprite replied,

"Ah, I was helping clean him up after what Ikaris," She sent a sharp look toward her brother, "did to him."

"Does that explain the hickeys on your neck?" Phastos asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"No, those are bruises. From when you guys didn't help me from the Deviant attacking me, remember?" She smiled sarcastically.

"And that's why you're wearing his sweatpants?" Sersi pressed further, Theia shrugged, taking a sip of orange juice.

Just then, Druig walked into the room, he wasn't wearing a shirt either and his sweatpants hung low on his waist.

The group stared at him, their expressions unamused.

Druig walked up behind Theia and grabbed the orange juice bottle from behind her, drinking it straight up from the bottle.

Sprite and Phastos groaned, "Dude, we drink out of that!" Sprite cried.

Druig shrugged, looking down at Theia and setting the orange juice back down on the counter, and looking back up at the others, "Why are you all staring at us like that?"

"We were just asking Theia if she had fun last night," Sprite said, crossing her arms over her torso.

Druig glanced back down at Theia and smirked, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Did you guys at least use protection?"

Theia chirped up, "Neither of us is human. I can't get pregnant, Sprite."

Druig muffled a laugh, taking another sip of orange juice from the bottle.

Apparently, they had been talking about something serious because Ikaris stormed out and down the hall after Sprite muttered something to him. Kingo rushed after him, "Ikaris!"

She furrowed her eyebrows, "What was that about?"

"We were talking about what to do next with The Deviants and everything and we were asking Ikaris what to do and he said to ask Theia because Ajak chose her. And Sprite got upset and said that Ikaris was obviously the strongest out of all of us and he should be making these decisions."

Theia frowned, had Sprite really thought that?

"Well, let's make a plan, shall we?"
