"Urgh..damn. I slept too long."
Liam rubs at his eyes, feeling uncharacteristically drowsy for having an afternoon nap-
-wait
Did he even take a nap? No. Wait.
He reaches his hands to his neck.
He touches bare skin.
"WHOA. ITāS GONE. ITS FUCKINā GONE!! WOOOOO!!!!ā
Liam doesnāt even care that heād probably been drugged, heās practically in tears over the fact that his hideous collar is finally gone. Though when he goes to stand up, itās too fast and he stumbles to the floor. That he doesnāt care about either. He crawls over to Hamlet, who has now trotted over to find out why his master is yelling so much.Ā
"AW HAMMY, ITāS GONE!" Liam smooches his dog on the nose before bolting out the door, because naturally if his is goneā¦
"PEPE!! PEPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" He yells the Pyroās name over and over as he runs through the halls.
Pepe wouldnāt have realized he had fallen asleep if he wasnāt aware of:Ā
One, the sheet of paper sticking to his face via dried saliva;
Two, the fact that his head is still snugly pressed against his desk;
Three, the lost time, really, he could have sworn that five minutes ago wasĀ notĀ five hours ago, where did his day go, it got sucked in a black hole;
Four, the lingering smell of chloroform that rests deep in his nostrils. Ugh, he hates that smell.
The Pyro lets out a groan, who the hell is screaming, it hurts his head and itās making Amelia restless in her cageĀ really who the hell is screaming?Ā Ā Ā Pepe stumbles onto his feet and sways to the doorway, a paper sheet still stuck to his face and looking a bit too sleep-deprived, a bit too disheveled, and the floor seems to sink underneath his feet andĀ Fucking Christ what did they drug him with this timeā "Liam?" he calls groggily, leaning on the wall for support. "LIAAAAAAAM?"
Really, Pepe's room was the first place Liam should've looked. But he's way too excited to think rationally!! A quick glance confirms that Pepe's collar is off as well, and he lets out a joyous little laugh.Ā
"Pepe!! Look! Our collahs're off!" He smiles brightly and gives the half-awake Pyro the tightest hug he can muster, nuzzling against his scratchy cheek. "Aaaaaaaa I can finally be close to ya again!" Liam starts to kiss Pepe's mouth, nose, everywhere on his cute little face gets kisses.Ā
