alternate universe crisis

chapter 8

in the heroic au...

whitehat was shocked to see his scientist in the floor unconscious when the bright light disappeared along with dr flug and he was in a horrible condition! without hesitation whitehat carried slug in a bridal style as he teleport in a hospital.

after a few hours slug slowly came back from the unconsciousness and the first thing he saw was the white ceiling as he inspected the room and notice he was in a hospital bed though what surprised him was that he saw his boss. HE'S ACTUAL boss. sitting next to his bedside sleeping while holding his hand. slug could feel his face a bit burning as he rolled his eyes and scoff 

"i know your awake, whitehat" with that the white eldritch groan in annoyance as he opened his eye and huff 

"why wont you just enjoy the moment of me acting sleeping and you waking up holding your hand" whitehat pout in a very childish way which caused the human to rolled his eyes at him

"we're not in some stupid romantic movie, boss" slug said with a deadpan face. whitehat sigh

" and here i am so worried and watch over you the whole night without sleeping without a simple thank you" whitehat said dramatically

"i beg your pardon, sir. but I didn't ask you to watch over me in the first place and you said it yourself that you don't need basic needs like sleeping" the human said still wearing a deadpan look. whitehat sadly sigh as the human look at him lazily for a moment. slug look away and whisper "but...thank you" despite it was just a whisper the eldritch had a very good hearing and he heard it clear as crystal which made him beam with joy as he smile 

"your welcome, my dear doctor~" he purr causing the human to lightly blush and before slug could spoke any words the eldritch spoke in a serious look "i have been wondering, who did this to you?" slug was silent for a moment

"what of it?" silence fell upon them as they both stare at each other without blinking they were like that for a few minutes until the eldritch sigh 

"it was my otherself isn't it?" slug just look away without saying anything back. his silence is enough to answered his question. whitehat rub his face with his hand "god. I am so sorry-"

"why the hell are you apologizing?"  

"it was my otherself-"

"yes it was your otherself  not you, you idiot"

"but still-"

"one more word out of your mouth and I'll walk out of this room"

"okay! I'm sorry-"

"will you stop apologizing? its very annoying and you sound so pathetic"

"sorry- I mean okay" whitehat chuckle. ah, he missed that attitude-

"so what did you do with the other me? you didn't do anything stupid did you?"

whitehat laugh nervously while waving his hand 

"what? pshhhh what ever do you mean? we were just having a good chat, and he and the others are getting along with him and-"

"whitehat, what did you do" whitehat heard him ask- no, DEMAND as he watch the human with a look that he did not like to see and he know that the human wont let him be until he get what he wants. he sigh in defeat

"before flug disappeared I-...I was going to ask him if...if he had feelings for his boss"

"wait, do you like my otherself?"

"huh? no! well he's you so- but i like- love my real scientist more" whitehat notice the human look away as he can see his neck turning reddish. he smile as he continue "and i was going to ask him if he had feelings for his boss, and if he had said yes then that means you really loved me since he's your otherself from a different dimension" now he could see the human's neck turn fully red "but i guess I don't really need to hear the answer" he give the human a warm smile

"s-shut up. I'm going back to sleep"  slug grumble as he laid down and turning around that the eldritch faced his back. he heard the other stand up from his seat and took the blanket and cover him properly while he just let him do that

whitehat was about to leaned down to give him a kiss but an hand stop him inches away 

"what do you think your doing?" the human turn around to look at him as he moved his away from his face

the white eldritch look at him a bit embarrassed "giving you a kiss goodnight?"

"in my head?" the human rise an eyebrow as he stare at me

"yes?"

the human stare at him in silence for a moment which made the eldritch a bit nervous at the silence between them. suddenly the eldritch notice the human moved his bag a bit, enough to reveal his lips and grab his tie and pull him in a deep affectionate kiss while the white eldritch was surprised at the sudden action. whitehat swear he could feel his nonexistent heart beat like it was about to explode in any seconds

 the human broke the kissed between them as they both look at each other for a moment then the human laid back down leaving the flustered eldritch behind him standing dumbfounded or trying to process what just happened then his thoughts was interrupted when the human  spoke before he fell asleep

"goodnight, you idiot"
