Justin and Giriko had remained seated at the table where they had eaten breakfast. Justin as usual was listening to his music. Giriko was frowning, thinking about something. What was up with the runt? He normally wasn't so nervous around the boss. Had something happened? Nah, it was probably nothing.

Both Giriko and Justin look up as they see Gopher walking towards them. "What do you want?" Giriko asks as he puts his feet up on the table. "I have a question…it's about Noah-sama…" Giriko looks at him with a hint of curiosity. "What about him?" Gopher looks down and rubs his arm. "Did you hear anything unusual coming from his room last night?" Giriko looks at Gopher confused then turns to Justin to see if he knew what he was talking about. Justin shrugs and turns to Gopher. "I didn't hear anything. Well mainly because I slept through it and I had my earphones in."

Giriko folds his arms and spits on the floor. "Same here…Didn't hear shit." Gopher nods and begins to walk away. Giriko snickers and calls out after him. "Why do you wanna know anyway?" Gopher stops and gulps. I can't tell them. They wouldn't believe me. They slept through it…they'd think I'm crazy. Gopher shakes his head and smiles weakly. "Oh nothing! I thought I heard something last night but I probably just imagined it." With that, Gopher heads back to his room and locks the door. He sits on his bed and holds his knees. "Noah-sama…"

In Noah's room, Medusa lies on his bed and smiles as she runs her hands along the dark skinned man's chest. Noah smirks and strokes her cheek. "Did you enjoy that, Medusa?" The witch licks her lips and nods. "Of course…it was great." Noah sits up and puts his hands on Medusa's hips. "I wasn't too rough, was I?" Medusa chuckles and shakes her head. "No, it wasn't too rough…it was just right…"

Noah grins and kisses her lips softly as she wraps her arms around his neck. Medusa smiles as her lips press up against Noah's and she closes her eyes. After a moment, Noah leaves Medusa's lips and smiles. "You should go…Its too risky for you to stay here any longer for today. Come back tonight if you want but for now you should go." Medusa nods and gets to her feet as she goes to the window. She quickly steps out and smiles at Noah, waving innocently to him before leaving. Noah closes the window and takes off his coat, yawning slightly. He sits back on his bed and rests his hands in his lap.

Gopher had begun sobbing quietly in his room. His stomach hurt and it somewhat helped to release his tears. Gopher gently bites on his lower lip and tries to stop himself from crying. But this renders useless as his cries only get louder.

Giriko was getting extremely annoyed at this point. At first, he had tried to ignore it but soon Gopher's cries were so loud that they filled the dining table. "God damn it…What's that runt crying about?" Giriko looks over at Justin and glares as he sees that the priest couldn't hear the crying due to his loud music. Giriko stands and groans, frustrated that he has to be the one to tell Gopher to shut up. As he approaches the young boy's room he could hear the sobs getting louder. The irritated Giriko bangs loudly on Gopher's door. "Hey! Shut up, would ya! It's annoying!"

Gopher wipes his tears and sniffs as he hears the angered Giriko yell at him. "You don't need to be so rude!" Giriko snarls and walks off, leaving Gopher to think about Noah. As he thinks about Noah, Gopher begins to tear up again but holds back his tears, determined not to cry again. A stinging pain fills Gopher's stomach as the urge to cry gets stronger. Eventually, Gopher gives in to the urge and begins to quietly tear up. Fearing that Giriko might yell at him again, Gopher grabs a pillow and places it over his head so his cries would be weaker and muffled.

Noah steps out of his room and walks back to rejoin the others at the dining table. "Hey." As he looks around, he sees that Gopher isn't there. "Where's Gopher?" Justin looks up at Noah, and then points towards Gopher's room. "I believe he is in his room." Noah nods and heads towards the room. As he stands behind the door, Noah listens carefully, almost certain he could here Gopher crying. He lightly knocks on the door and Gopher immediately stops his quiet sobbing. "Hey Gopher? You doing alright?"

The door slowly opens and Gopher appears, smiling. "Yes…I'm doing just fine…" But Noah could see that he hadn't been doing fine. Gopher's eyes were red and Noah could tell he had been crying for a long time. "Okay…well we're about to start dinner so come join us." Gopher nods and continues smiling. "Okay Noah-sama! Whatever you say…" Noah gives a slight nod and goes back to join the others.

Gopher slowly walks to the dinner table and sits down, not looking at anyone. Noah also avoids looking at Gopher and stays quiet. Justin and Giriko eye each other and give each other looks that seem so say, what's going on? After a moment of silence, Justin finally speaks up. "So how are you doing, mister Noah?" Noah sits up straight and smiles at Justin. "I'm doing just fine." Justin nods slowly. "Have you found anything worth collecting?" Noah pauses for a moment and then shakes his head. "Sadly no. I've just been thinking. But I haven't really found anything worth collecting." Giriko sneers and crosses his arms. "There's always Gopher who would love to be in your collection." Gopher tenses up and Noah nervously chuckles. "Yeah..."

Seeing that Noah and Gopher were acting even stranger, Giriko slams his fist on the table. "Damn it! What the hell is up with you two today!" Noah narrows his eyes as he looks at Giriko. "Don't raise your voice at me." Giriko glares and stands up. "What the fuck are you gonna do about it! You think I care!"

Justin quickly stands and puts his hands between Noah and Giriko. "Hey…ease up a bit…calm down…" Giriko hesitates for a moment but sits down and mutters to himself. Noah sighs and walks away. "I need a breather…I'm going out for a bit…"

Noah goes outside and runs his hands through his hair. Damn…this sucks…Gopher knows…But I can always lie, right? Yeah…what am I worried about? I can just lie…Justin and Giriko will never believe him. But Giriko is starting to get rebellious…that could be a problem…

"Noah-sama…" As Noah hears his name, he turns around to see Gopher. Noah stares at him for a moment and then looks away. "Why did you lie, Noah-sama…why…?" Noah opens his mouth to say something but no words come out. "Noah-sama…don't you trust me?" Noah looks down and remains silent. Tears start to fill Gopher's eyes as Noah doesn't say anything. "Answer me, Noah-sama! Please!" As Noah still has nothing to say, Gopher bursts into tears and turns to run back. "Gopher! Wait!" Gopher ignores Noah and continues running while he cries.

Noah grabs his own hair and pulls on it in frustration. "Fuck…Fuck…" In anger, Noah hits his head against a tree and curses. Moments later, he goes back to his hideout but goes directly to his room. As he goes inside, he's surprised to see Medusa. "Hello there, Noah." She notices Noah's facial expression and her smile fades. "What's wrong?" Noah shakes his head and wraps his arms around her waist. "Please just…just help me forget about it…" Medusa nods and kisses his lips, making him forget his worries around him. As they passionately kiss, Noah starts feeling strong emotions towards the witch. Medusa...thank you…you're my escape…I…I think I'm in love…

Medusa slowly leaves Noah's lips after a while and looks down. Noah tilts his head and looks at her with concern. "Is something wrong?" As she looks up at him, he could see that something was bothering her. Medusa brushes her hair out of her face and bites her lip. "Noah…I…"

Noah brings her closes, getting more worried by the second. "Hey…what's the matter? You can tell me."

Medusa shuts her eyes tightly and then opens her mouth to say, "I…I'm pregnant…"
