3rd Person POV

"Mre...! Mre...!"

"Hmmmmm...?" Ayden roused awake from the bright yellow and orange honeycomb patterned sheets from Jin adorably kicking a foot like they were dreaming from where they curled up close to her side.

"Haaah...!"

After rolling onto her back to just stare at the hive-shaped overhead lamps over the bed, Ayden loudly sighed and was rubbing her eyes when a gentle knock sounded on the door,

*tch...* *tch...*

Before the door opened for Bee to peek in with a concerned look on her face as she told her,

"Hey... we've got some breakfast going if you're up for it..."

And Ayden slowly sat up while keeping a paw on her forehead as she answered back sluggishly,

"Be down in a sec..."

Bee gave an affirmative nod with a sympathetic smile before closing the door behind her to leave Ayden and Jin alone as the latter started stretching to wake up and brushed their tail against her arm to ask,

'Are you feeling alright... after... last night...?'

Ayden winced as a quick flashback revealed that after Blitzø had spoken those two dreaded words, he'd added,

'Get between us again and you're off the team...'

Before Ayden's shock had turned to seething anger and she yelled hard enough to send out a blast wave of sparks and heat that had knocked Millie and Moxxie away and shattered all the glass in a 10-foot radius,

'FUCK YOU!'

And ran out of the house with Jin following behind her before she could see or hear their reactions and her memories turned pretty fuzzy after that.

"C'mon," Ayden brushed her hair out of her face as she kicked the sheets off to reveal she was wearing a one-short-sleeved, off-shoulder and upper-thigh length orange star-dotted with cosmic candy pop designs on the front t-shirt nightdress with a loose black tank top underneath, and knee-length skin-tight yellow shorts and black with light yellow honeybee and hexagon-spotted stockings that left her toes exposed that'd been conjured for her by Bee, "Let's get...-"

A buzz from the nightstand next to the bed made Ayden see her phone light up with a message notification and she hesitated before picking it up to see a text from Millie asking if she and Jin were alright and somewhere safe.

With a sad smile, she texted back a simple,

*yes*

Millie responded a few seconds later with a thumbs-up emoji before adding,

*Come home whenever you both feel ready*

Ayden's face fell at that so she turned off her phone and left it on the nightstand next to her open journal, the same one she'd gotten with Alex and Remi and had started keeping on her in her satchel.

After signing the latest entry she wrote earlier that morning/night, she closed it and put the pen to the side before proceeding to stare despondently at the book and her satchel next to it before Jin hopped onto her shoulders to nuzzle their head to her cheek and break her out of her despairing trance, making her smile a bit before she got up and walked out of the guest room they stayed in for the night.
