Logan’s eyes found Evan’s after hearing his remark, his cheeks blooming a dusky pink shade. “…Should I turn out the lights?” he whispered after a moment.
Evan smiled, smoothing a hand over Ethan’s side gently. “I don’t think you’re going anywhere.” Evan muttered, motioning casually to where Ethan rested on Logan’s chest. “I’ve got it.”
Ethan murmured softly. “Go Ev. You do that… thing…”
Logan smiled, kicking off his shoes slowly so as not to disturb Ethan, and dug his phone, keys, and wallet out of his pocket to drop them into his shoes. When Evan was up hitting the light, Logan brushed a kiss into Ethan’s hair.
Ethan sighed softly with a smile, relaxing fully against Logan, letting his exhaustion take over completely. Evan turned off the light and slid back inot bed with a small smile of his own. “Night Knave.” He whispered, slipping an arm across Ethan’s waist again.
“Goodnight, Ev…” Logan murmured, sliding his hand over Evan’s before starting to drift off.
Evan smiled, drifting off silently, snuggling just a bit more against his twin, his hand warm under Logan’s.

Logan shifted, laying down next to Ethan. “Because I care about you,” he muttered in answer to Evan’s question.
“You do?” Evan opened his eyes a bit, surprised and… pleased. Ethan hummed softly. “That’s nice Knave.” He mumbled, turning on his side and cuddling up into Logan’s chest, pulling Evan’s arm over his waist, barely awake at this point.
His breath caught in his throat as Ethan cuddled up against him. “Yeah…nice,” he murmured, running his fingers through the closer twin’s hair.
Ethan, oblivious to anything and everything, snuggled closer to Logan, tucking his chin against the prefect’s collarbone. Evan blinked slowly at Logan, watching him carefully. He smiled a bit after a moment, curling his arm more securely around Ethan, while reaching for Logan’s hand as he pressed a kiss to Ethan’s shoulder. “Better than nice.” He whispered.

“Is there anything I can do?” Logan asked. “Anything you need?”
“Just… stay.” Evan rasped out, tugging weakly at Logan’s hand, reaching out for Ethan with the other. Ethan nodded tiredly, shivering lightly as the last dregs of power drained out of him. Ethan met Evan for a soft, blind kiss before collapsing onto the bed with a barely audible moan.
Logan intertwined his fingers with Evan’s silently.
“Sorry about that…” Ethan muttered, nuzzling his face into Evan’s neck. Evan smiled a bit, looking up at Logan. “You didn’t have to stay you know… we know that’s not easy to watch…”
“You just asked me to stay like 5 seconds ago,” Logan said, his brow furrowing in confusion.
“No I meant… You didn’t have to stay through the whole thing…” Ethan clarified, opening his eyes tiredly. “Like… no one’s ever stayed and sat through the transfer before…” Evan muttered.
“I…wanted to make sure you were…okay,” he said softly.
“Why?” Evan said curiously, gently moving his thumb along Logan’s hand. Ethan muttered something unintelligible into Evan’s neck before shifting and looking blearily up at Logan. “Lay down Knave…”

He watched them anxiously.
Ethan took deep slow breaths, clenching his hands into tight fists. Evan’s breathing was a bit more shallow, more of a series of quiet gasps. He cringed in pain as the cold surged through him violently.
The only good part was that this meant it was almost finished.
Logan slid his hands over each of their’s, still painfully aware of the fact that he could do nothing to help them.
Evan let out a soft cry as the pain reached it peak… and then slowly started to receede. Ethan clenched his jaw as the same happened to him before slowly fading out.
“Is it…done?” he asked quietly.
“Yeah…” Ethan muttered, slumping a little with a sigh. He brought his hands up to rub at his face tiredly. Evan sighed in relief, shivering as his warmth and powers were returned to him.
