As Eddy predicted Brett woke up three ours later. He was clearly sore still, and was searching for the alpha in his half awake state

Eddy: "Good evening"

Brett: "Mhmhmhmamf"

He scooted impossibly close and buried his head in Eddy's shoulder before realizing. His head snapped and looked directly at Eddy flushing like crazy.

Brett: "He-em"

Eddy: "Don't worry, you can't control your omega system when you are asleep"

He said as the two of them sat on the bed.

Brett: "But m-my heat is over...you could have gone home already"

Eddy: "And leave you alone in this state? Absolutely not. I'm still a doctor that has you as a patient"

He stood up and was about to go for the door, when he noticed that Brett was having some problems to stand up. He was still very weak.

After helping him to reach for the living room once again, he took a look in the fridge and decided that take away would have been their choice for the dinner as well.

Eddy: "Are you craving something?"

Brett: "Mmmm...we had tay at lunch so pizza maybe?"

He asked a little hesitant.

Eddy: "Then pizza!"

After eating it was clear that Eddy would have stayed the night being Brett still weak. He just didn't wanna risk it.

They took a seat on the sofa and resumed their conversation

Eddy: "So, if it's ok with you I would go to the specialist next week and...I would like to spend the night after our encounters from now on"

It took a good minute for Brett to process

Brett: "Spend the night?"

Eddy: "Yes, I just realized that your omega system might actually suffer from the lack of it's alpha and it might actually take longer for the separation to begin..."

Half of a bullshit, but he didn't try to find a justification to lie just yet. Brett seemed to think about it a little before nodding

Brett: "Ok...and for the specialist...I think I can, I mean, I don't have that much to do apart from relearning how to play violin"

He chuckled alone as Eddy watched at him doubtful

Eddy: "Is it still that bad?"

He asked as he took Brett's hands for a quick examination. The hands were almost back to normal but still they needed time to function again

Brett: "They are getting better I guess...they're just a little difficult to control still, but I will regain"

His eyes were full of determination and Eddy knew that medically speaking he could do it.

Eddy: "Good...let me do them a little massage while we are at it"

He positioned himself better and started to meticulously rub patters on the right hand first.

Eddy: "...Brett...I..."

Brett: "What is it?"

Eddy was clearly willing to ask something but he didn't know if he should

Eddy: "No...I fear it's too personal"

Brett: "Well, just ask, I'll see if I can answer"

Eddy looked once again at him before gluing his eyes back on the muscle he was stretching.
