His breath fanned her face, making her heart thump faster. She wondered what he was going to do.
His breathing was irregular as he stared at Gia, and so did the glow in his eyes.
'No!' He spoke in his mind, trying to fight his inner thoughts trying to break loose.
His canine protruded and retracted several times.
Gia was alarmed by what she had seen, "Lank?"
Letting out a low growl, his canine was at full length as he prepared to take a bite.
As a defense mechanism unlocked by Gia, a magic circle stopped him from coming any closer to her.
Lank shook his head, he pushed himself back and onto the marble floor.
His eyes switched continuously from glowing and being their normal shade of red.
"What the hell was that?" She let out a shriek of disbelief at what had just transpired. That wasn't the reaction she had expected from him.
Lank sat on the floor, his leg opened wide. He looked down at his fingers in confusion. He had not expected that part of himself to break loose so easily.
'Why now?' Lank questioned his thoughts. He had thought he had it under his control, but judging from the way he had acted, it wasn't the case.
He had originally planned on kissing her, but his emotions had been so overwhelming that it had let his inner demon loose for a while.
"I didn't mean for you to witness that." He spoke after a brief silence enveloped the infirmary.
Getting up, he made sure he didn't make eye contact with her, unsure if that could still trigger his emotions. It was better to take his leave while he could.
"Lank!" Gia called out again, but even when she did, he didn't listen this time and still made his way to the door.
"What the hell..." Gia said in frustration, conjuring a barrier on the door to stop him from proceeding further towards it.
Lank bowed his head in despair, his hand suspended in the air, he had nearly touched the handle before the barrier had proved to be a nuisance.
He didn't want to turn to face her, but with this obstacle, he had no choice.
"Gia, please don't do this." He said, reluctant to face her.
"What was that?" She repeated.
Lank shook his head, the internal battle had been triggered again. "Forget... you... saw that!" He said through gritted teeth.
"No I won't, your eyes it was glowing and you had wanted to–"
"Gia!" Ayanami called in a loud voice, pushing open the door with it slamming right onto Lank.
Gia gave a wince to what had just happened, she had forgotten that the spell she had done stopped anything from leaving but didn't stop anything from coming in.
Ayanami looked around, wondering why she had heard a groan behind the door.
"What was that?" She raised her head, smacking her lips at the weird sound she had heard.
Gia grimaced, looking over at the door and who was behind the door. She whispered an apology in his direction.
"Nothing," Gia called out in a loud voice the moment Ayanami went close to the door to inspect what might be there.
Ayanami looked back at Gia, suspicious about what was going on.
"I guess it was a pointless thing." She shrugged as she walked up towards Gia.
'Why the hell are you here? What do you want?' Gia masked her uneasiness with a grin. Her eyes went from where Lance was pushed to with the door and Ayanami.
There was something oddly strange that Ayanami felt. She paused momentarily upon feeling some sort of tension in the air, coupled with Gia acting all weird.
Within a blink of an eye, she shapeshifted into a blue bear.
Running on all fours, she advanced towards the door, but before she could get close to it, she saw the door ripped from its hinges.
Screeching to a stop, she tilted her furry head in confusion, but all that changed when she saw the door lifted a bit then it was tossed in her direction.
Digging her claws onto the floor, she lost her footing on its slippery marble make, forcefully laid flat on the floor and gliding with her stomach, she immediately reverted to her human form as she tried to run away from the direction of the throw.
Gia facepalmed at what she had just witnessed, it was as cringe as she had imagined it. She couldn't understand why Ayanami had shapeshifted into a blue bear.
Creating a magic circle, she deflected the door in the opposite direction and away from hers too.
"Lank!" She hissed in anger at what he had done. There was no way he could justify what he had done as a mistake.
"I hate the stench of losers and her kind disgusts me." He sneered, his chest hyperventilating at the strain he had gone through doing that.
Ayanami had released her body from the curl she had done by shapeshifting into a purple metal-plated back on an animal.
"Is it over?" She questioned, her eyes widened in shock.
"You!" Lank said through gritted teeth, setting his nose in place.
Her unintentional slamming him to the wall had triggered a fit of anger he had kept at bay.
Ayanami reverted once again to her human form, confused as to why Lank was in the infirmary. Her attention shifted from him to Gia, and back again.
"What's he doing here?" She pointed an accusing finger at him.
'The issue should be, what are you doing here? He's in a better position to be here than your annoying presence.' Gia rolled her eyes at her inability to say what she had in mind.
A part of her wanted to understand why Ayanami had come to visit her when the others didn't.
"I should be asking you the very same question." Lank retorted, folding his arms.
Dusting her pink kimono with a floral pattern, she got up from the floor and looked at Gia for explanations.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Gia wondered. She wasn't the right person to ask that question. "If you have any problem, he's right here to answer your questions."
