Gradually, things slipped into normalcy. Tension lessened considerably as an air of calm surrounded the happy home.
Of course, if anyone knew the authors here, they'd know this wouldn't last too long. Especially with a new thread.
Most of them were watching television at the moment, making small talk, or eating leftovers from lunch. In the kitchen, Double D was doing the latter, preparing a sandwich. A simple task that, for some reason, he was having trouble with.
"Urgh..." After multiple attempts, he set the knife in place and cut it in half neatly. "Finally.."
"...maybe it'll be easier without the gloves," Raz noted the leather gloves the new angel was wearing today, sweatdropping. "...just saying."

"Well fashion always did add to difficulty. That's why I try to keep a natural look," Trevor said.
"Oh shut up you narcissistic imbecile," Masahiro said with a somewhat playful tone. "As if you have the right to talk."
"But why? I think he looks great without gloves," Felix said.
"You'd think he was beautiful just getting out of bed," Masahiro said.
"But wouldn't you feel the same about Perceval?" Felix asked without a hint of anger in his tone, seeing as there wasn't any.
"... ... ... Touche," Masahiro said simply, eating a Snickers since he felt like chocolate.

"Ehe, oh, no, they're no fashion statement!" Double D nervously hastened to explain, hiding his hands behind his back. "I-I just woke up and figured today was a day I wanted to wear gloves!... is all."
Out of all the looks given to him in the room, Ed and Eddy's were most piercing. Not scowls, just skeptical frowns. They both knew how their friend got when he was nervous... or lying.
"...what?"

"Stuttering... hands behind your back... nervous expression," Trevor softly.
"He's lying," Masahiro said simply.

"I-I-I am not!" Double D cried out defensively, cringing. His voice had become more high-pitched than he would've liked. It always got high-pitched when he was dreadfully nervous.
"I...I-I..."
While everyone still had their eyes on the guilty party, Raz shot Felix a glance that said 'go talk to him.'

Felix didn't need to be told by Raz to see that, by the high-pitched voice if nothing else, something was wrong with his beloved. He came up to Edward softly, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. "What's wrong Edward?" he asked softly.

Slowly, almost shamefully, he glanced up at Felix, finding himself unable to lie to his lover. He lifted a shaky hand, pointing to their bedroom. "P... privately... please?"
As they went in, everyone exchanged looks. "I wonder what's up," Fleetfoot mused.
"Yeah. What's he hiding his hands for?" Eddy questioned, confused. "...it's too weird."

Felix nodded and led Edward to the bedroom so they could talk in private.
"Whatever it is, it probably doesn't concern us," Masahiro said. "Live and let live. The business of others is not to be pried into."
"But... we are his friends mate. We gotta find out one day," Trevor said.
"Perhaps when the time is right, we will," Masahiro said.
(Masahiro also has a little experience on crystallization, but he refuses to give any hints. It doesn't effect the outcome in any way other then in the fact that when and if the truth is discovered, he won't be shocked or anything.)

(sounds good to me)
Double D grabbed the doorknob to close the door behind them, turning it with some difficulty, as if he couldn't quite grip it well. At Felix's questioning glance, he averted his gaze shamefully, holding out his gloved hands for him.
"...I.... I have no idea what's happening... to me..."

"I'm not sure when we all go through a glove wearing phase myself," Felix said softly as he began to pull the gloves off softly. "But I'm sure it's ok. I mean... after everything we've been through, how bad could it b... ... ..." He loved Edward, everyone knew that by now... but even Felix was caught off guard by what was wrong.

Double D's hands trembled, tipped with not soft, gentle fingers, but hooked claws. Tears ran rivers down his face.
"I...I don't know...!" he whimpered softly. "I-I-I woke up like this... I didn't know.. what else to do...!" He buried his face in his knuckles, drawing away from Felix. "I...I'm a...!!"

Felix shook it off and smiled softly. "Ok, so it's worse then expected, but that doesn't change who you are Edward. You're not a monster, not at all... But that doesn't explain what's going on?"

Slowly, Double D glanced up in a puppy-like fashion, scared, but slightly comforted. Nevermind that his eyes had shifted from cerulean blue to blood red, his pupils narrowed like a lizard. Not that he could notice this for himself.
"I-I-I haven't a clue..." he whimpered. "I..I-I don't FEEL any different... I just..."

"Well whatever it is, it's not just effecting your hands," Felix said in a whisper, noticing the eyes. "But... appearence is nothing! Unless you go on a rampage, I... I would never judge you!"

"B-but what if I do??" Catching sight of the bedroom mirror, he made a light, squeaking gasp at his eyes. "N...n-no...no...!!"
"Hey, hey!" Raz knocked on the door. "Is everything okay in there??"
Double D threw his damp, desperate gaze Felix's way. "...w...what do I do...?" he cried softly. "I can't hide this..."
