เข้าสู่ระบบA sigh slipped out of my lips as I saw Falcon's and Mr X's faces."Were you going to attack me with a russian doll?" Falcon cocked a brief at me."You could have called before coming." I rolled my eyes at her."Evening Mr Eiran." Mr X greeted."Good evening, Mr X." I replied."Well, are you going to let us in?" Falcon asked.It was then I realised, I was blocking the way."Right, but before I let you in. Promise you won't freak out." I chuckled nervously."Is something wrong with Charlie?" Falcon frowned."No, he's fin-"She pushed me aside, forcing her way into the room. Her stapes halted as she came face-to-face with the pegasus. It didn't look too pleased with her form of entry."Charlie. Eiran. Why in the world is there a horse in your room?" Falcon asked, her arms folded in front of her chest."We can explain." Charlie replied, still in bed."Are you alright? I heard you passed out at training?" Falcon inquired, walking over to him.The Pegasus blocked her path, flaring its nostr
You could hear the heavy silence that descended on the courtyard. Everyone too shocked to whisper and murmur.Charlie was sleeping soundly in my arms. His new pet or creation sitting in front of us, its round eyes fixed on Charlie and me.As if the stares from everyone else hadn't been enough. Every courtyard had probably stopped their training when a loud neigh echoed in the sky. Some were peeping over the hedges that separated us, others were walking over.I needed to get Charlie to our room so he could rest properly. Hopefully, no one bothered the Pegasus before I returned."Charlie, if you can hear me. I am taking you back to the mansion." I whispered.His breathing returned to normal a few minutes after he passed out, but he was still in a deep sleep. I wasn't getting any responses from him anytime soon.Placing one arm under his knees and the other around his back, I cupped him close to my chest as I steadily stood up.My brows furrowed in a frown as I noticed the Pegasus get up
Scott joined us at the stairway, and we made our way to the training courtyard. A lot of people whispered and mumbled as we walked by, but I didn't say anything. And neither did Charlie.We found an empty corner of the courtyard for our training. I couldn't join the actual training since my hands were still healing, so my gauntlets stayed in our room back at the mansion."You should go find someone with a weapon to spar with, Scott." I suggested, motioning towards a group of people picking opponents among themselves."I actually don't mind hanging with you guys." He shrugged, swirling his staff around."But you still need to train. Since I can't use my gauntlets for the time being, you'll have to train with someone else so your skills stay sharpened." I calmly explained."Oh, I see your point now. I'll see you guys later then." Scott nodded, waving as he jogged over to the group I saw."So, what are we going to do?" Charlie whistled, kicking at the grass."You are going to repeat what
"We should get something to eat for dinner." Charlie suggested, turning to face me on the bed."That would mean moving and thus losing this position." I mumbled half asleep, nestling my nose in his now soft and knotless hair. "You need to eat so you can use your meds." He pointed out."You are the only medicine I need, Charlie." I said, hugging him closer to me.His fingers lightly brushed my chest, trailing up to my neck. He leaned back, lowering my jaw so he could look me in the eye."You need to eat something." He insisted."Are you on the menu?" I smirked."I'll kick you out of the bed." He muttered, his cheeks slightly turning red.I let out a chuckle, leaning forward to place a kiss on his forehead before turning to get out of bed."Not so fast, detective." He held me by the shoulder."One more thing." He smiled, diving forward for a kiss.My lips curled up in a smile, my hands crawling up his body to his waist. He playfully smacked my hands down, his lips leaving mine as he tu
Silence hung heavy in the room; even the tick of the clock seemed to fade into the background.After swallowing a bunch of painkillers, I climbed into bed to rest my back against the headboard.Charlie sat in a chair he had placed next to the wall, staring intently at his pen. It must've had something to do with how he somehow became Superman in the dining hall.His eyes weren't as red anymore, but they still looked tired and sleep-deprived. "Come here." I sighed."Hmm." He mumbled, his gaze shifting to me."Come here." I repeated, patting the space next to me on the bed.His eyes fell to the bed, then back to me, holding my gaze for a few seconds before getting up from the chair.He kicked his shoes off by the bed, tossing his shirt to a coat rack by the dresser. I fluffed a pillow, setting it down for him as he slowly climbed into bed, but he completely ignored the pillow, coming to lie his head on my lap instead.I brought my hand to his shoulder to move him to the pillow, but he
It was lunchtime at the mansion. A vast majority of its population gathered in Mr X's makeshift late-night office to stuff their mouths.Lively chatter filled the air, some from the loud banter taking place on one end of the table, some from the impatient ones too starving to chat, and the rest from a group having a loud conversation in a somewhat civilised manner.No one noticed our entrance at first; they were all too engrossed in their own worlds to notice three latecomers pass them by."We might have to split up to find seats." Scott stated, standing on his toes to see over the crowd."Thanks for all your help today, Scott. We'll see you later." I nodded."Of course, I'll look for you both after lunch." He smiled, hurrying off."Try not to get into any trouble." Charlie whispered before splitting off as well."No promises." I mumbled.Finding a seat by myself only took a couple of seconds, settling between a skinny pale guy trying to woo over a lady and a guy with an eye patch mor
It was some point in the early hours of the morning. I opened my eyes slowly to the sound of someone sneaking up to us.It was too dark to see the face at the time, but from the frame, I knew it was a lady. She walked so calmly towards us, her hand reaching for something by her waist.My brain spra
"I can't believe you agreed to having me stay over at your place rather than staying over at ours." I scoffed as Theron laid the blankets on the living room floor."You are just being stubborn for no reason. She's lived alone for years before you showed up, what makes you think she can't survive on
I wish Jacob had mentioned how much that drink cost before sending me off to the store. Between it and the lavender I bought, I almost didn't have enough for a taxi to the hospital "Hopefully he's awake." I muttered to myself as I walked the hallway to his Ward.The nurse at the reception greeted
Suddenly, I couldn't feel the cold autumn wind any longer; my hands hung frozen around him. He seemed really worked up all of a sudden making me wonder what happened. I couldn't tell if I should hug him back or push him away, though; a larger part of me wanted the former.Slowly, he peeked up at m
