May Be Foul...But yet to be passionate.

Chapter Twelve

Clotted Cream and Espresso were back at the base, Clotted Cream had gone to Espresso's room still holding Espresso in his arms. He then gently placed Espresso on the side of his bed and made him sit up, Espresso didn't say anything as he let go of Clotted Cream's shoulder.

He was embarrassed about the whole situation that happened at the lower city, Clotted Cream had to just carry him like that through the whole city?! What's wrong with the man!? "I hate you," Espresso only muttered as he facepalmed with both of his hands.

Clotted Cream only smiled knowing that was not true, "Uh huh, watch your words Professor," Clotted Cream responded, still using that teasing matter, "Now, stay here I'm going to get the required healing items." Clotted Cream then left the room.

Espresso nodded quietly and then sighed out of embarrassment again, Espresso didn't understand it. Why was Clotted Cream so dedicated to 'protecting' him? It felt weird to know how his heart fluttered so much on that fact. Espresso only sighed again as he took off his cape and put it aside on the bed.

Clotted Cream then came back with a med kit and a big bucket of water, "Apologies for your wait," Clotted Cream spoke as he placed the bucket of water down and the medkit next to Espresso, "I needed to get tap water and then I forgot  where I put the medkit so I immediately went buy another one." Clotted Cream spoke.

Espresso didn't say anything staring at him, "How'd you buy one so quick..?" Espresso couldn't help but think. Clotted Cream only smiled at him as an answer.

"Which wound do you want me to start on?" Clotted Cream questioned as he opened the medkit.

Espresso only watched, his expression then softened a bit in uncertainness, "Do you even know how to heal physically?" Espresso questioned back unfazed.

Clotted Cream smiled, "Oh yes I do, I remembered some of my old healing classes during my 12th year of Highschool when magic wasn't an option," Clotted Cream answered, "I never knew I'd use these skills until now, I also read some books based on healing physically," Clotted then took off his gloves and replaced them with medical gloves. Clotted Cream then stared at Espresso with a serious expression, "You know your not getting out of this." he remarked.

"Yes! I know...I know..." Espresso responded quietly, "I didn't know the Crème Republic had classes based on that, I didn't for sure," It was true, the classes that the Crème Republic's school had always had classes mainly based on light magic. Though Espresso had dropped out of that school during his 10th year, so maybe it changed once he left. 

Clotted Cream then smiled, "Now, answer my question please," Clotted Cream requested, "I would like to get started."

"...Uh," Espresso wasn't sure what to start on, he wasn't so comfortable about the fact Clotted Cream was doing this for him, "Leg I guess." 

Clotted Cream nodded kneeling on Espresso's leg, Clotted Cream then stood quiet as a realization hit him, he slowly looked up at Espresso with a somewhat nervous expression, "I'm going to ask you to take off your coat..."  Espresso blinked not seeing what the problem was but nodded as he took off his coat.

This was the part where Clotted Cream suddenly began to blush a bit, "...And your shirt dress too... Espresso," Clotted Cream added on, he felt embarrassed having to mention that, "I know this may seem outrageous to you but you really are going to have to-"
