WHO: Lucia & Reed (and probably Ma'at & Neptune as well)
WHEN: Wednesday, February 29 | evening
WHERE: his apartment (this is before he moves in with Lori)
RATING: not sure yet, will update!
Reed was totally out of sorts. He'd spent the rest of Tuesday at his apartment, mostly in bed, trying to sort through the insanity in his mind. Though there were times when Neptune insisted on taking over. Honestly, as much as Reed hated not being in control, he was too tired and scared to fight it. Neptune would step up to the plate and do as he pleased, which mostly consisted of eating, playing with modern technology, and playing with himself. That part really disturbed Reed. It was like getting a hand job from another dude. So not right.
Neptune wanted to leave, but Reed kept begging him to stay inside. The mortal simply didn't want to go anywhere until he got a better handle on this. Besides, Lucia was coming over tonight for dinner. Reed hoped she'd help him understand what was going on. She had a lot more answers than he did right now. Actually, Neptune and Reed both wanted to learn more from her. But the part that worried Reed was that knowledge wasn't the
only thing Neptune wanted from Lucia. The thoughts that went through the men's shared mind disturbed Reed. He hoped that the anger he expressed internally made it abundantly clear that Neptune better not harm Lucia. If he did, Reed would get a fucking lobotomy to keep everyone safe. He didn't trust the god. Self-sacrifice might be the only way to protect the people Reed cared about.
Lucia messaged later in the day telling Reed not to worry about cooking, which was a good thing. He'd much rather drink and sleep, and he'd done a good deal of both. By the time Lucia arrived at his apartment, he was looking a bit rough. Great way to impress a woman. He opened the door and failed to muster a smile for her. "Hey."
