"Hen, you awake?"

Schneep groaned softly as he covered his face with the blankets and scooted closer towards Marvin's side of the bed, blindly reaching out for the former magician.

"I'm right here Hen." Marvin snickered as Schneep groggily moved the blanket to look at him, the male standing at the end of the bed with a tray of food in hand and a loving smile on his face.

"Zauber, you didn't have to do zhis-"

"I know, I wanted to. It's been a few months since we've lived together like this here in LA, and I wanted to celebrate." Marvin interrupted gently, offering the tray to Schneep.

On it was a waffle covered in whipped cream, strawberries, and syrup, a warm cup of black coffee next to it as well as a small fruit salad.

"Vell...thank you." Schneep murmured softly, his face flushing a light red hue as he meekly accepted the tray.

"Of course! It is a rarity after all that I get to have you all to myself." Marvin added, sitting on the bed next to the German.

"Ha, I know, especially on zhe weekend." Schneep chuckled as he examined the food on the tray, breathing in the scent.

"Are you just going to look at the food, or are you going to eat it?" Marvin teased, picking a strawberry off of the waffle before popping it into his mouth.

"Hey!" Schneep protested jokingly, swiping his finger across the whipped cream before smearing it against Marvin's forehead.

Marvin laughed as he rubbed his head against Schneep's shoulder to get the whipped cream off, the German pressing a kiss against the top of Marvin's head as he held the male close.

"I love you." Schneep whispered into Marvin's ear, the former magician looking up at the German with a grin.

"I love you too Liebe." Marvin cooed as he lifted his head up, earning a surprised look from Schneep as he rested his forehead against the male's.

"I didn't know zhat you vere learning German." Schneep remarked, Marvin wordlessly shrugging as he plucked a grape out of his fruit salad.

"Vell I suppose I should eat zhis before you eat zhe rest of it." Schneep interjected teasingly as he dug into his breakfast, Marvin's gaze drifting to the window.

"Vhat are you looking at?" Schneep questioned through a mouthful of food, Marvin shaking his head slightly as he returned his attention to the German.

"Nothing, I just...I thought I saw someone outside." Marvin admitted, Schneep frowning as he glanced out the window.

"I don't see anyone...do you think it's Chase?" Schneep asked worriedly, Marvin letting out a sigh as he took Schneep's hand in his.

"Chase hasn't bothered us for awhile, I don't think he even knows where we are. It doesn't matter anyway, he won't hurt you ever again...I won't let him." Marvin promised, his blue eyes boring into Schneep's.

"I vas thinking-"

Schneep was cut off mid sentence by his phone ringing on the bedside table, the German rolling his eyes in irritation as he reluctantly picked it up and answered.

"Henrik, we need you at the hospital." Doctor Iplier stated before Schneep could speak, the German glancing at Marvin before turning away so he wouldn't have to see the disappointment in the male's eyes.

"It is mein day off, vhat is going on?" Schneep demanded as he stood up, pacing around the room with Marvin's gaze following him.

"Patients here are being terrorized and...you should come see for yourself." Doctor Iplier insisted, Schneep biting his lip as he dared to look over at Marvin.

"It's okay if you have to go, your job is important." Marvin assured Schneep, his eyes shining with sadness as the German held the phone away from him and kissed Marvin.

"I vill be back as soon as I can." Schneep whispered, grabbing his lab coat from the closet before slipping it on and leaving the room.

"I'm on my way." Schneep promised Doctor Iplier before hanging up, going into his car before hesitating and staring through the bedroom window at Marvin's shadow through the blinds.

The former magician's form stood up and paused at the window, the male abruptly turning away and leaving the room as Schneep backed out of the driveway.

"Zhis better be important." Schneep growled impatiently as he strode into the hospital, Doctor Iplier nodding before striding down the hall lined with patient rooms.

"Vhat happened?" Schneep breathed in shock, each room filled with a traumatized patient with a scar across their neck.

"Each if them said that they saw a man with short brown hair partially covered by a snapback hat and a bottle of whiskey in his hand, his eyes...his eyes were pitch black." Doctor Iplier informed Schneep grimly.

"Oh my god...vhat did Ch-zhe person vant?" Schneep corrected himself, choosing to hide Chase's identity from Doctor Iplier since Chase was a demon.

"He said the same thing to every patient before he slit their necks," Doctor Iplier sighed as he leaned against the wall.

"Tell me where Doctor Schneeplestien is, or I'll do more than leave a scar on your neck."
