Bad stayed in the bed with Forever all night, meditating on what to do about the burden of guilt he was feeling. But that morning he got up when he felt Skeppy repeatedly nudging his chest. "What's wrong?" Bad sat up and stretched out his wings. Then he picked Skeppy up and screamed.

Forever was awake quickly, rubbing his eyes hard to clear them from the sleep. "O que está acontecendo?!" {What is happening?!}

Bad held Skeppy tight to his chest and sniffled. "F-Forever, help!"

Forever groaned. The whole appeal of having a demon husband is to be taken care of and protected. Now Bad wanted Forever to take care of him. "What, Bad? I'm sleepy."

Bad held Skeppy up, the line of diamond shards along his left cheek were now emerald green. "C-could Skeppy be code infection?!"

"Oh my..." Forever's face softened. "Bad...I am sorry..." He put a hand against Skeppy's cheek. "That is not good..."

Bad brought Skeppy back to his chest, and wrapped his wings around. "W-what do I do?"

"I don't..." Forever just shrugged and watched Bad cradle Skeppy like he was a human baby. Tears seeped out of Forever's eyes too. He wiped them away quickly. "If I know, I'd tell you. Maybe Cellbit have a idea, he knows a lot."

"I can't let my mother see him. She might take him away."

Forever nodded and found Skeppy's little blanket. "Put him in."

Bad took the blanket and wrapped Skeppy up, making sure his cheek was covered.

"I won't let her take your bebê." Forever promised and got off the bed. "let's find Cellbit."

Bad and Forever found Cellbit where he wasn't supposed to be. Attached to Bad's servant by the lips.

"¡No me espíes!" {Don't spy on me!} Roier yelped as he saw them and pulled away from Cellbit. "¡Furtivo! That's very among us." {Sneaky!}

"What the muffin are you two doing?!"

"Cellbit, este não é um bom momento para estar apaixonado." {Cellbit, this isn't a good time to be in love.}

"Fuck, I'm sorry." Cellbit ran a hand through his hair and kept his flushed face down. "I apologize your highness, I know it's disrespectful and inappropriate."

"I need your help. Forever says you're smart." Bad couldn't care less who Roier wanted to swap fluids with right now. "Do you remember anything about codes? How to maybe...handle an infection?"

"Oh, actually...I remembered something, yes. I had a journal with me. But your guards claimed all our belongings and carriage... your mother must have it by now, yeah?"

"I don't think so...what was in the journal?"

"I don't remember, exactly. I just know I wrote about our experiences, any scrap of anything we knew."

Bad chewed his lap. "Mother can't have it, she'd mention it to me."

Cellbit shrugged. "Well I don't know, they took everything. Why do you need to know about the codes?"

Bad uncovered Skeppy's face, showing trust. "He's infected."

Cellbit narrowed his eyes. "How did he get infected? There was a code here, we were right."

"Thar girl that showed up, you remember?"

"Uh, yes. The girl and the man."

"The girl was infected and I tried to heal her with Skeppy...I can't tell you more than that."

Cellbit crossed his arms and looked back to Roier. "¿Siempre es así de estúpido?" {Is he always this stupid.}

"Sí mucho." {Yes very much.}

"I know people who get infected, become a code. So if you try to remove the code...aren't you removing...the person too?" Cellbit told them.

"Oh...you're saying that it's not my fault she died because she was doomed anyway?"

"Yeah, wait...what?"

"¡Asesino!" {Murderer!} Roier gasped. ¡No lo puedo creer!" {I can't believe it.}

"Shut your muffin, my Skeppy is sick."

"If you find my journal, maybe I can help more." Cellbit offered. "But we have only seen humans be infected. I don't even know what your...Skeppy is."

"He's my little guy." Bad frowned. "I'll try to find your journal..." Bad turned to Forever and gave him the world's most devasting pout and wide eye combo. "Will you watch my Skeppy?"

"Oh?" Forever was surprised. "You trust me to care for your Skeppy?"

"Yes, don't let mother see him." Bad handed Skeppy off to Forever.

Skeppy blinked tiredly and leaned into Forever's chest as he was held like a baby. "Hinnnya"

"Do he only make those weird sound?" Forever wondered.

"His sounds are adorable." Bad sniffed and rubbed his eyes. "I'll be back, okay?" Bad gave Skeppy a head pat, and rubbed Forever fondly on the cheek.

Cellbit waited until Bad was gone to speak. "Você o ama?" {Do you love him?}

"Eu não o odeio mais." {I don't hate him anymore.} Forever rocked Skeppy and smiled as he felt Skeppy nuzzling into him. "Ele é um monstro gentil." {He is a gentle monster.}

Cellbit looked at Roier then moved closer to whisper to him back and forth. Then he turned back to Forever. "Não é mais um segredo. Você pode pedir a ele que dê permissão para eu e Roier ficarmos juntos?" {It's not a secret anymore. Can you ask him to give permission for me and Roier to be together?}

"Eu não acho que você precise de permissão." {I don't think you need permission.}

"Por favor, confirme que está tudo bem." {Please confirm it's okay.}

"Como você se apaixonou tão rápido?" {How did you fall in love so fast.}

Roier leaned against Cellbit. "Sou irresistível!" {I'm irresistible!}
