Ouch!

I procrastinate

Neptine fluttered his eyes open, grasping hard at his chest as he started to heave. His head hurt, his torso hurt, it was hard to see properly. It took him a few seconds before he started to relax, gulping and scanning the place he was in. It seemed to be some sort of.. garage..? Shed..? Whatever it was, he didn't want to be here, and he needed to get out.

Neptune moved his hand to the back of his head, feeling a warm liquid paint his fingers. Well, that explained his aching head. With worry, he pulled back his hand, staring at his blood stained digits, almost in awe at what had happened to him. He can't recall what could have occurred before they were in here, only static taking place in his empty mind. Neptune whimpered, the cut in his head back causing great annoyance and agony towards them, making it grumble frustratedly knowing it couldn't do anything about this throbbing pain.

Nevertheless, it didn't stop him from attempting to get out of whatever he was in.

The blue haired toned man stood up, his headache increasing as he wobbly got ahold of a small desk, leaning into it as he steadied himself. After a minute or two, Neptune could stand properly, now looking around the room for something to help him get out of there. He traced his fingers along the hedges of desk, making his way to slide them across the wooden walls, searching for some form of opening that could aid him. Unfortunately, there was nothing other than the solid hazelnut wall boards surrounding them. Neptune put a finger to his chin, determined to get themselves out of this prison.

They hadn't noticed it before, but there was a door. With some hope, Nep' made its way to the door, praying that it was at least unlocked or able to be a way out or some sorts. They took a breath before twisting the knob, only for it to halt half way, signafying the door was locked. Disappointed, Neptune let out a dramatic sigh, now pressing into the door, hoping it'd budge. However, the knod started to move, making the man shriek and step away in fret. He fluttered his lashes at the door as its knob jiggled more. There was a grunt heard from outside, then the door was pushed open, light immediately flooding the room.

Neptune squinted his eyes, hissing as they tried to adjust to the new setting of view. Their eyelets finally got used to seeing such light in the room, now allowing Neptune to see who had opened the door.

The person smiled, batting their eyes. "Good afternoon, sleepy head!" Earth slammed the door behind him, making Neptune seethe as he'd now have to get used to the darkness again. Earth continued, ambling closer to Neptune. "I dunno why you took so long to wake up, but, it's good you are now." He smiled wide, resting a hand in the taller land hair, his free hand gripping onto their arm, pulling them down so they were eye level with one another. "You're afraid, I know, there isn't a reason to be-- Not yet." The vitiligo coloured man snickered. "Though, I do love when they're afraid." Earth admits, sliding his hand down Neptune's face, clenching his jaw firmly. "Don't be so tense, I'm not doing anything; not now, at least."

This didn't help at all. The way Earth was inching towards something bigger and keeping Neptune on edge made him grumble impatiently, wanting to know what he meant by his words, and why he was.. Being so close with him. Earth cleared his throat. "Listen, I'm sure you've heard of the disappearances that's been going on.." He tightened his hold on Neptune's jaw, using his other hand to reach onto the desk, now pushing Neptune closer to the wall. "And, who's been causing them?" Earth asked, a beam on his face.

Neptune shook his head, forcing Earth's hand off of him, giving him a few seconds to think. "Uh.." The toned man trailed off, unsure. Earth scoffed, grinning. "Ah, behold," He stared Neptune down, fluttering his lashes. "-it me!" They sneered, gazing in awe as Neptune glared at him in shock, betrayal and other emotions he couldn't quite make out. "W... What...?" Neptune mumbled, now very afraid. "What did.. What did you do to them..?" He queried, backing into the wall, now pressed up against it.
