Feelings

{Page 3} Stumbled

Next morning, Harry got out of his room to check up on Diluc. When he opened the door, the once occupied bed was now empty. Harry's eyes widened, panicking, he began searching around the house. No matter how hard he tried, Harry didn't seem to find Diluc anywhere.

Every room. Empty. Nobody in sight.

His last resort was on the balcony. Harry ran up the stairs to the area and slammed the door open, what laid upon his eyes was the same red haired man leaning against the railings. "There you are! Why are you out of your bed?" Harry sighs in relief while holding onto Dilucs' right hand. "Just wanted to get some fresh air. That's all." Diluc mumbled, startled by the loud noise at first.

"You still shouldn't be out here, still sick right?" Harry pulls Diluc inside while dragging him downstairs again, "Huh? Wait- Slow down!" Every step that Diluc took felt like he was about to fall.

And so, that's what exactly happened.

On the final step, Diluc missed it and collided with Harry, sending them to the ground. The floor shuddered for a split second and silence soon filled the area.

"Ow..." Diluc blurted out while trying to get up but he realized their faces were inches away from touching, making him freeze in place while blushing. "Uhm- Can you get off me..?" Harry said while trying to sit up. Diluc snapped back into reality and scrambled to get off.

"I did tell you to slow down? Wh— Hey! Cut it out!" Harry held Diluc's cheeks and looked around for any minor injuries, making him blush even more. "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" Harry rushed to get the other up but was pushes away softly. "Listen, Harry. I'm fine I... need some time to take care of myself. I'm glad you're concerned for my health and safety, I appreciate that, but it's going to be fine." Diluc said as his face looked annoyed yet calm.

More silence rushed in.

"I don't hate you."

"I'm sorry-"

"There's nothing to be sorry about."

"But I.. I was pushing you around a lot and kept bothering you every second, I have to be sorry!"

"Let's go back to the room and then continue with this, alright?"
