Chay and Macau's relationship had become strained recently. Chay didn't realize it at first, but he Macau would spend more time in his own room than Chay's, which he didn't mind much. He thought it was healthy for couples to have their own time and space, so he didn't say anything. It wast until last week when Chay went to get more tampons on his own that he realized how distant Macau was. He spent most of his period with Sunny and Moon, making him pissed off that Macau wasn't there to comfort him. Chay decided to talk to Macau once his period was done because he didn't want the extra hormones to rile him up unnecessarily. So once the week was done, he went to Macau's room and went to enter because Macau never minded him walking in but ended up running into the door because it wouldn't budge.

"What the hell?" Chay asked, confused before he tried to open the door again, only for it to open a little but close again. "Macau, what the hell?" Chay said out loud as Vegas walked by.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"I don't know, the door won't open." He explained, making Vegas eyes widen.

"MACAU?" Vegas shouted while trying to force the door open. "MACAU OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!!" He yelled, making Chay panic as well, thinking something was wrong. After a few more hit's Vegas had managed to force the door open, causing the chair that was holding the door to hit the wall but at that moment no one cared. "MACAU." Vegas yelled again before the bathroom door opened and Macau walked with just a towel around his waist making Chay's eyes widen, seeing his boyfriend's figure. "Macau." Vegas said, walking over to Macau and pulling his arms up making Macau furious.

"What, I can't take a fucking shower without you thinking I cut myself." Macau said, pulling his arm down. "I had to take a fucking shower, and since you made them take the fucking lock off my door I have to use a fucking chair so that I can have some fucking privacy." Macau said.

"Don't raise your voice at me, I was worried about you and wanted to make sure you were okay." Vegas said, making Macau scoff.

"Then ask. If you grab my hands like that and check it makes it clear that you don't trust me." Macau said, making Vegas upset.

Vegas looked ready to shout but stopped himself, before taking a deep breath, and turning around towards Chay. "Take care of him please." He said softly, making Chay nod before he started to walk away.

Macau looked at his boyfriend, annoyed, making Chay worried. "Cau." He said softly.

"You better not treat me like a fucking baby." He said, making Chay flinch back surprised.

"Cau. Babe. What's going on? Talk to me please. You've been distant and I'm starting to get worried." He said, making Macau sigh before he took a deep breath.

"Let me get dressed first." Macau said, making Chay nod before he went back into the bathroom and Chay sat down on Macau's bed waiting for his boyfriend. After a few more minutes Macau came back fully dressed and walked over to his boyfriend and sat down next to him.

"Cau. What's wrong?" Chay asked softly, making Macau sigh.

"I'm sorry, I've been distant lately. I haven't been feeling well lately." Macau admitted making Chay say silent as he listened to his boyfriend. "I have been feeling really overwhelmed and more depressed lately and I didn't want to burden you with my problems, so I didn't tell you. I wanted to try to take care of myself, on my own, because I know I can't rely on you or my brother all the time so, I cut you guys off without giving reason, and I made you guys worried and I'm sorry." Macau said, making Chay reach and grab Macau's hand comfortably.
