	Ezekiel was staring at the ground when Demetri spoke and stood. Ezekiel didn’t even notice until he was being dragged to his feet and then towards the camp exit. Ezekiel went first, getting cleared by the Hecate cabin. He had held his breath during the brief process, worried he would still be possessed but thankfully, he wasn’t. Ezekiel turned to watch Demetri go through the process but Demi was held back and Zeke rose an eyebrow in concern. He thought it would be fitting if Demetri was possessed. Demi was probably going to give Zeke an earful anyway; not that Zeke would be able to hear it. 
	Demetri was cleared and they started walking again. Ezekiel just followed Demetri, not sure where they were going and he was starting to get more and more concerned over the fact that he couldn’t hear anything. Not their footsteps, not the wind and not the water as they neared the lake. Ezekiel looked around, wiggling fingers in his ear but still hearing eluded him. He looked at Demetri, seeing that he was speaking and attempted to read Demi’s lips again. It was rather dark out here and he wasn’t having the best success. This is why Zeke wanted to stay by the fire. Ezekiel took a step closer to Demetri and focused all his attention on Demetri’s lips rather than his body. Finally, he started to make out words and placed them with Demetri’s voice. Yup, Demi was giving him an earful. 
	He looked down after Demitri apologized. He didn’t understand really how Demetri could forgive him like that but he was grateful for it, even though the guilt of what he did still gripped his stomach tightly. 
	[color=#EEE8AA]”We had an agreement,”[/color] Ezekiel deflected. Of course he knew it was never going to work out. Demetri rushed into agreeing and promised that this wouldn’t affect their relationship or other relationships they wanted to pursue but Zeke knew Demi was more involved than he had been. 
	Ezekiel looked up at Demetri and raised his hand. He stretched out his fingers and brushed the bruises on Demi’s neck. They were already fading and Zeke hoped they would be gone by tomorrow. Zeke pulled his hand back and shoved it into his pocket. His fingers still tingled from the light touch to Demetri's skin. Ezekiel shifted his attention to the water. The irony of them being here and having yet another argument about their relationship was not lost on him. 
	He looked back at Demetri. [color=#EEE8AA]”I went to Janelle and the others because I feel comfortable around them, Dem. Why would I run to the person I assaulted for comfort? Kind of a dick move, wouldn’t you say?”[/color] Ezekiel looked away once more and shook his head, stealing his courage before he looked back at Demetri. [color=#EEE8AA]”I came back because I care about you, too. And I realized that I was being a self-absorbed asshole, worried about my own problems but you were the one I assaulted so you were affected by this just as much as I was. Worse even. I’m sorry for forgetting that.”[/color]
