Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 60

❝Sick❞

.•*•.

By the time that I wake up, it's much more believable that I do have a fever. Every part of my body is aching as my bones feel strange and I feel weak everywhere. My body feels hot all over but still cold at the same time. When I did wake up, Sebastian is sitting in a chair beside the bed. "I thought I was dreaming" I say, my voice a bit hoarse but not too much. Referring to the fact that he's a week early. His creepy stalking butler told me that he'd be here in a week. 11

He chuckles as he stands up and helps me sit up in the bed and against the wall. "Flattered that you'd dream of me" He says and I roll my eyes as I almost glare at him. I probably look like a mess but that doesn't matter to me as I still attempt to glare at him which is not working that well since he only smirks. He hands me a glass that is half-full with water and I drink it. The cool liquid feels nice running down my throat and it does help me feel a bit better. 3

"Don't think so highly of yourself. I was just surprised and as it turns out I'm sick so it could've just been the fever" I say and he raises an eyebrow at me as we both know that is not true. I wanted him there with me, I needed him with me. I can't be sure if that is the fever talking or not but I feel like I can't even live without him. "Whatever helps you sleep at night" He mutters to himself but I did hear it and I groan at him.

"Are you hungry?" He asks me and I slowly nod my head after I hear my stomach rumble. He pushes a small button that is on the side of the nightstand, blending in but now that I see it, I can't unsee it there. Not even a minute later a knock comes on the door and then it opens. The butler and the man that I still after so long have no idea what his name is comes inside holding a tray with a bowl and a glass of water. He walks to the nightstand where he sets the tray down.

"Will there be anything else, Mr. King?" He asks Sebastian. "That would be all" He replies and he leaves the room and Sebastian and I are alone again. "So, you're Batman and he's Alfred?" I ask him. That comment was enough to make him laugh but only for a second. He looks at me with amusement in his eyes for some reason. "Fever Fawn is much more fun than boring Fawn" He says and I eye him with a strange look. He shrugs as he picks up the bowl and hands it to me. IK notice that it's chicken soup and it smells amazing. 14

"Try to eat as much as you can" He tells me and I nod. Picking up something as simple as a spoon is hard as my body is just so weak but I do manage. It feels like when in school you have your hand up for a long time until the teacher finally shows up and you set your hand down hand, it has lost mostly all of its blood and rather weak, that is what it reminds me of. "Are you going to sit here all day?" I ask him but I don't look at him. 1

I take a sip from the spoon and that soup tastes like heaven. "If need be" He only says. I feel my heart pound within my chest as my cheeks heat up but that can also be blamed on the fact that my body is hot and a bit sweaty all over and I'm pretty sure that I smell too. "Don't you have like the whole world to run?" I ask him and this time I do look at him. The look in his emerald green eyes is one that I can't tell what is, disappointment? Sadness? Happiness? It's all mixed so I can't be sure what is truly there.

"Not when my wife is sick" He says and I roll my eyes. "So, you're going to play the doting husband because I'm sick and not because we're supposed to spend our lives together?" I ask him, it came out as harsher than I had wanted and now I could see a clear look in his eyes. Hurt. Tears form in my eyes by the thought of hurting him and all I want to do is hug him and apologize but I don't. "No" He then answers after a moment or two. 10

No one said anything after that and we stayed in the silence. I knew that I had broken the small thing that we had going, I'm not even sure what it was that was going on but I sort of liked it. I only managed to eat half of the soup but I did drink the water. "I need to pee" I say as I hand him the bowl which he puts on the tray again. Sebastian nods as he helps me stand up. My body doesn't want to move but my bladder says that I need to be in the bathroom.

He helps me to the bathroom but as he was about to walk inside, I step in his way. "Not happening" I tell him as I close the door. Through the closed door I could hear him laughing and I roll my eyes but the smile on my face was hard to stop. But he wasn't there to see it anyway so it did not even matter to me if I was smiling or not. I miss the feeling of his hands when he helped me walk and it truly makes me believe that he's changing. For better or worse, that will have to be revealed to me in time.
