"Yeah." Etzer replied, waiting until Uller left before he stripped, feeling numb to the core. He was glad - kind of? - that the other boil was back, but they'd both lost so much time.
Etzer knew he'd squandered all his time away instead of throwing himself into his studies and moving forward with his life, but on the other hand... Uller had been his very first love. Sure, at first, it may have been a teasing fling, but the frost demon had found himself growing fond of the other, and actually caring about someone else other than himself.
Maybe Uller had left because Etzer hadn't shown he cared enough? Maybe he hadn't put forth the right amount of effort. Maybe this whole leaving bit had been his fault.
Turning the shower onto almost scalding hot, the blue demon sat on the floor in the shower, putting his head in his hands as he crossed his legs, letting the water cascade over his body, not caring that it numbed him on the outside to match what he felt on the inside.
"Is it really worth it, though?" He found himself asking to nothing, so close to the breaking point again. He'd lost times of how much he'd cried. "Am I worth it?"

"Yes?" Came the halfhearted reply, before Etzer stared dully at the soap, breathing in and sighing out as he grabbed it and began to scrub himself. It was a weak motion but the soap still did its work, pulling grime off of his skin that he hadn't known was there.
Ew.
Shivering, the frost demon made sure to get every inch of skin, even between his fingers and toes.
Scrub, scrub, scrub, until the water was brown.
Finally satisfied with his skin, Etzer drained the tub and turned on the shower, making sure the curtain was inside before he rinsed off and rolled his arms and shoulders, hearing the satisfying pop of the joints.
Turning off the hot water entirely, he stepped out and wrapped the towel around his body, wanting nothing more than to drip dry. And pounce into his bed.
Honestly, he just wanted more sleep.

Etzer seemed to sober at that, staring at the wall as he adjusted his towel. His mouth tasted like sandpaper, and the aftertaste of alcohol didn't sit well with him - it was a burning sensation he wanted to get rid of, but he'd deal with it for now.
Turning to regard the deer with tired, sullen, cold eyes, the frost demon seemed to hunch over and frown further.
"... why did you leave, Uller?"
He didn't realize how much of his heart he'd given this boil, and once the boil was gone... it seemed like there was nothing but a gap. Etzer didn't want to do anything. He hadn't gone to classes. He hadn't done homework. He was well behind in his knob year, and he hadn't seen his brother in ages.
Etzer looked very, very tired.
