Hol wouldn’t leave Glenn's side, no matter what. He may have been acting a bit too protective and needy, but it seemed like Glenn was okay with this. They would just have a smile on their face and give his face little kisses.

Starie also appeared quickly after the incident with that shitty step brother. They were super apologetic and couldn’t stop crying as they tried to make up for the fact they were gone for a while because of their system update.

“Master~ I’m sorry for being gone for so long and not being here to help you protect your lover!!!! I’m such a useless system… I should just be destroy…” Starie was sniffling from their nose as they said this. Hol couldn’t really comfort them since they hid away in the system space.

“Stop apologizing. I understand why you were gone. You were getting an upgrade and this upgrade will help me out with my missions. This just happens, so don’t worry so much.” Hol spoke to himself. He wasn’t worried since Glenn was currently asleep and he was the only person in the room at the moment.

Glenn's parents couldn’t come right away, since they were both at work at the moment. He knew they were super concerned when he called them for Glenn while the doctor was treating them. He promised them he would stay by Glenn's side until they could arrive.

“… No matter what, you are still a kind person.” Starie only said that before they stopped talking to him. Hol really couldn’t understand them sometimes. They spoke in a way like they are older than they look. But still act like they are a child. He couldn’t help but wonder if it was because that is how they were program.

Hol never really took a moment to think about it, but who made Starie and gave them completing these missions? He knew Starie was keeping something from him. They knew why his lover was always the protagonist in the missions.

He wondered if his lover was like him, doing missions for a system that bonded with them. He wonders what his lover looks like, really? It wouldn’t change how he felt about them, but he couldn’t help but be curious.

“Why are you thinking so hard about? You got some serious wrinkles between your eyebrows.” Glenn looked at Axl with a teasing smile on his face. He couldn’t help but laugh when Axl immediately put their head on his stomach. They were acting so affectionately and he couldn’t help but find that super cute.

“Are you still in pain? Should I call a nurse? Are you hungry? Thirsty?” Hol was shooting question after question at Glenn, but he stopped talking when they grabbed a hold of his face and kissed him softly on the lips.

“I literally feel nothing at the moment. I don’t know what I am on, but I feel nice and cozy… Cuddle me, please?” Glenn gave Axl a pleasing look and felt pleased when they immediately got into the hospital bed with him. Glenn pulled Axl close to his chest and ran his hand through their soft hair.

Hol really had a bunch of questions, but that could wait for later. His lover is way too cute at the moment and he literally feels like he is going to explode with how much he loves them. He would also deal with his shitty father's family later, after he gave his lover enough love and affection.
