When Grey, Cedric, and Oliver reappeared at the Freelancers' base, no one was in the living room. Oliver silently slunk over to the couch, put his head thing back on, and went back to his video games.
"Let's go," Cedric said as he walked over to the door.
"Wait. What?" Grey asked.
"I'd like to take you out into the city again," Cedric replied, "I have a couple of things I want to do."
He then walked out the door w/ Grey following close behind.






...





After a while of walking, they reached a destination. The spot in front of them was titled: T-Mobile.
"Here we are," Cedric finally said.
"Cedric, can I ask you something?" Grey asked.
Cedric nodded.
"If you can transport us anywhere, why did we walk here? Furthermore, why did we walk the first time?" Grey asked him.
"For one, I enjoy walking through the city and taking in the sights, and two, I don't like teleporting too much."
"How come?" Grey asked.
"The more I teleport, the more tired I feel. While I can do it a couple of times a day w/o any issue, but after that couple, I get progressively more tired until I have to pass out," Cedric explained.
"Oh," Grey responded.
Cedric then opened the door and stepped in. As Grey was about to follow him, but Cedric stopped him.
"No, stay out here for now," Cedric told Grey.
"Huh?"
"Wait out here. I won't take too long," Cedric told him.
He then gave Grey a quick kiss on the cheek and stepped into T-Mobile while Grey blushed. Grey then waited for a few minutes, then thought of something.
I wonder what's going to happen when Azrael and Asmodeus will do once they have all the SOULs, Grey idly thought.
Before he could explore the thought, Cedric came back out. He was holding a small, white box.
"What is that?" Grey asked while pointing to the box.
"You'll have to wait a bit to find out," Cedric replied slyly.
He then walked off, and Grey quickly trailed after him. After a bit, the couple found themselves in front of somewhere else. The title this time was: Yin and Yummy Buffet.
"Wait out here one last time," Cedric told him.
Cedric stepped inside. A few minutes later, Cedric came out w/ a bag that had two white things in it. The box from earlier was underneath his arm.
"I know I said I don't like to teleport too much, but fuck it, I'm hungry, and I want to get back to the base now," Cedric said while putting his hand out.
Grey took it, Cedric's tail twitched, and they disappeared. When they reappeared, they were at the meal table. Grey sat down. Cedric let go of Grey's hand, went into the kitchen, and came back w/ two cans of soda. He placed a soda in front of Grey. He then brought out the white things from the bag along w/ a couple of white forks and knives. Cedric handed half of the stuff to Grey. Grey opened his white thing and was happy to see it was the same food he'd had on the first day he'd come here. Cedric then dug into his food, and Grey did the same. After a bit of eating, Cedric asked Grey something.
"Grey, I keep forgetting to ask. When is your birthday?" he asked.
Grey swallowed his mouthful.
"November 12, 2001, why?" Grey told him.
Wait, today is October 29, Cedric thought.
"Oh, I was just curious," Cedric replied.
I'll have to think of something for that, Cedric thought w/ a small smile.
After a few minutes, the lovers finished their meal. Cedric got up, their trash in a bin, picked up his white box and walked over to his and Grey's room. Grey quickly got up and followed suit. Once they were through the door, Cedric turned to Grey.
"Here, now you can see what's inside," he said while handing his white box to Grey.
Grey lifted the top of the off. Inside, he saw a black rectangle like the one Ash had.
"A rectangle?" Grey asked as he lifted the thing out of its box.
Cedric took it from him.
"It's not a rectangle. It's called a phone," Cedric said.
Grey gave a confused look.
"Hold on."
Cedric turned away from Grey. After a couple of minutes, he turned back and handed the phone back to Grey.
"People use these to communicate, take pictures, etc.," Cedric explained.
Grey gave him another confused look. Cedric pressed something on the phone while showing Grey.






...




After a pretty frustrating time of explaining the phone to Grey, he finally understood.
"Do you get it yet?" Cedric asked, slightly irritated.
"I think so," Grey replied.
"Ha, good," Cedric said, relieved.
Cedric then put his arm around Grey and put the phone forward.
"What are you-" Grey began, blushing.
"Shh, smile. I'm going to take a picture of us," Cedric said.
Grey smiled awkwardly w/ a big blush covering his face.
"Ok, hold that smile! 3, 2, 1!"
Grey heard a click-like sound. Cedric then removed his arm from Grey, much to the latter's disappointment. Cedric checked out the phone.
"Perfect! Here you go," Cedric said as he handed the phone back to Grey.
Grey looked at the phone, and he got a big, dopey smile w/ a blush. He would cherish this picture forever!
"Like it?" Cedric asked.
"I love it!" Grey replied.
Cedric then wrapped his arm around Grey and kissed him on the cheek.
"Glad you do, babe," Cedric whispered.

(Az. + As. Side)
As per usual, Azrael and Asmodeus ended up back in their alleyway. After letting go of Azrael, Asmodeus began to chuckle uncontrollably. His body trembled a bit.
"Asmodeus, what's wrong?" Azrael asked, alarmed.
"Azrael, hee hee, there's nothing wrong. I feel fucking great!" Asmodeus cackled.
"No. Nonono. I knew this would happen! We need to quit while we're ahead!" Azrael said desperately.
Asmodeus drunkenly floated over to Azrael.
"Azrael," Asmodeus said, voice oozing w/ a drunken sweetness, "I'm still very much in control. Hee, hee, you don't need to worry!"
"But, you're showing signs of regression," Azrael said worriedly.
Asmodeus hugged Azrael. Azrael hesitantly returned the gesture.
"Azrael," Asmodeus said drunkenly sweet, "Please, don't start doubting me now. I promise you I won't relapse back my old days."
Azrael, still very hesitant, closed his eyes and pressed into the hug. Just like before, Asmodeus felt very soft to the touch. Asmodeus pulled back, but he left one arm around his partner. Asmodeus chuckled again. His laughter was very coarse and husky.
"HAHA, let's go get you some lunch," Asmodeus said to him.
He then covered Azrael as a cloak (his form couldn't keep still anymore), and Azrael dashed off.
