When will love be through with me?

Once Randy had Matt, he followed him inside.

Artemis frowned, carefully hugging Alex close.

Dave took Shannon to Regal.

Alex curled close carefully.

Regal looked up from what he was doing, grinning when he saw they had Shannon and his bodyguard.

Artemis hugged Alex close, kissing his head.

"We got them boss, "Dave said as he sat Shannon down.

Alex relaxed against him.

"I can see that." Regal nodded.

"Want some breakfast?"

"What are you going to do boss?" Dave asked.

Alex nodded, "Yeah."

"I'll decide on that later." Regal said. "Put them somewhere for now."

"Okay." Artemis said, kissing his cheek before carefully getting up.

Dave nodded and carried Shannon to a room.

"Wait shouldn't you rest?" Alex asked worriedly.

Randy followed Dave, bringing Matt with him.

Artemis shrugged his shoulders. "I'm fine." He said, just as stubborn as his twin.

"What do you think, same or different room?"

Alex nodded and started to get up as well.

"I guess the same one?" Randy shrugged.

Artemis tried not to show he was in pain, going over to get dressed.

"Ok." Dave said as he threw Shannon in a room.

"Your hurting..." Alex said as he went over.

Randy tossed Matt into the room as well, locking them in afterwards.

"What?" Artemis said, turning to look at him. "I am not..."

Dave grinned and headed to the main room.

"You just whinced," Alex said.

"What now?" Randy asked, following him still.

"I...I didn't." Artemis said stubbornly.

"We wait i guess." Dave said.

"S-shann....." Matt started half out of it."

Alex bit his lip, "Arty..."

"For what?"

Shannon didn't respond, completely out of it.

"What?" Artemis asked, frowning.

"For the boss to be ready." Dave said with a shrugged.

Matt pulled himself over to Shannon and half pulled him on his lap.

"Please tell me if your hurting..."

Randy nodded, sitting down on a couch.

Shannon groaned, but didn't wake up.

"I'm fine..." Artemis muttered, still stubborn anyway.

"Come on Shannon...." Matt said softly.

Alex sighed and nodded.

Shannon made a quiet whimpering sound, shifting slightly as he started to wake up.

Artemis finished getting dressed before turning to hug Alex.

Matt tightened his arms, "Sorry Shannon, so sorry... I failed..."

Alex hugged bacj, feeling better in his arms.

"W-What...?" Shannon mumbled, opening his eyes a little.

Artemis hugged Alex close, kissing him before letting go. "Breakfast now?"

"I'm sorry boss..." Matt said again.

Alex nodded and took Artemis's hand.

"For what...?" Shannon asked, still out of it.

Artemis opened the bedroom door, sighing when he saw Jacen asleep on the couch in the hallway.
