TRANSCENDENTAL. (The remake!)

Late Night Talks.

Calah sits down and huffs slightly, holding her stomach as she sees food on the table, warm.
She realized that there was another plate down as she turns to the kitchen and sees that ant was there, cleaning his hands and turning around, giving her wide eyes as he softly smiled.
"Hiya.."
He softly said, as if she wasn't supposed to walk in yet, but he then snickered and grabbed a bottle of rum, walking over and setting it down as he handed her a non alcoholic drink.
"I was actually hoping that you were awake around this time."
He whispered softly, not wanting to wake lena up as he sits down and sighed.
"Whys that?"
He looked to her and frowned softly.
"I knew you wanted to talk to me.."
He softly says, scratching the back of his neck as he cleared his throat.
"But, I made us dinner.."

They sit down and calah starts eating, looking to ant who picked at his food and slowly starts eating, looking down and waiting for calah to start talking.
"So.."
"So..."
Ant softly says, looking to calah with worry.
"Y'know, me and Lena really didn't know what to do.. She got into this huge fit when you were in the cage.."
Ant pushed his food to the side and takes out the rum, grabbing his glass and filling it, taking a sip of it.
"I didnt know what I was thinking.."
"You did it to save Adam."
Ant looked down and frowned, taking another sip as he looked to calah and softly exhaled.
"I dont know what to do.. I need him back, I just.. Got so worked up thinking about him being back, that him being taken away immediately crushed it all for me."
"What's Adam to you?"
Ant looked to her with wide eyes, taking a moment before really thinking about the right words, it was hard to explain.
"He's.. Like.. My everything. Hes my best friend, I can always talk to him.."
Calah couldn't help but smile and take ants hand to hers, rubbing his thumb softly with her thumb.
"We'll get him back."
Ant nodded softly, calah then finishing her food quickly as she then grabs her glass, pouring some rum in it, looking to ant as she points it up, ant clinking his cup with hers with a smile.
"I'm getting him back, no matter what."
"That's the spirit."
Calah smiled, ant and calah downing their drinks as ant tapped his cup down, standing up as he grabbed their plates and puts them away, sitting next to calah again as he pours them another cup.
"What are you going to do about Lucio being gone?"
"I'm going to do everything in my power to get him back too. The way he died wasn't good, he died protecting people. He deserved to live."
Ant says, rubbing his knee as he takes a sip as well as calah.
"Welp, we gotta hit the hay."
Ant softly said, sitting up and taking calahs cup away from her, her looking up to him with a smile as he looks to her confused.
"Wha.. What?"
"I'm proud of you."
Calah said so sincerely, causing ant to just stay still, looking to her as he felt his face change, he looked sad.
He felt his eyes tear up as he just stayed there, looking at her, like he was 8 again needing validation from his parents.
"I..."
He choked out, a tear falling from his face as he just walked away before she could try to talk to him, putting the cups away as he bolted to his room, causing her to just stand there and rub her arm, frowning slightly as she slowly walked to her room, wondering when and why he got so.. deprived of affection..?
She laid down and huffed out, softly closing her eyes as she wrapped her blankets around her.
