Just let me sleep!

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 : Red-haired duo
—————————-•

No matter how hard I tried to understand what was happening..I just couldn't get to the root of the issue.

It is a curious sensation, inhabiting this body suit, that moves and breathes as if it were mine, yet I'm always reminded and thus aware that it belongs to another. Every movement, every touch carries a faint echo of detachment, like navigating through a borrowed reality. It's a reminder of the separateness between my soul and this physical form—a reminder that I am just a wandering soul navigating the world through a temporary place, experiencing life through the lens of another's body.

All those people looking at me as if I'm some kind of pitiful creature at some auction stall are no better. And them calling me by my family name isn't helping either.

" So.. Teo.." The red fur approached me with some sort of hesitation.

"?"

" I'm  Alexander Thesart let's be friends." His approach is marked by an air of self-assurance, exuding confidence with every step. His movements are smooth and willful, each gesture calculated to give his assurance a notice. There's a casual elegance in the way he holds himself, a hint of charisma that draws attention effortlessly. He then reached his hand, shaking mine, as if the weight of the risk of rejection didn't even cross his mind.

"..."

I wasn't sure what to say to him, nor how to respond, I wasn't familiar with this kind of situation so I only tilted my head a little, it was a small habit of mine ever since I could remember.

Suddenly doctor grabbed onto Alexander something boy covering his mouth while making that forced and awkward smile.

" Ahahaha.. y-young lad, please don't mind him, he doesn't know what he is doing!!"

" Ye- yes, our young master is yet to get a tutor so please forgive him!!"

The other adults stepped in as the red fur was visibly struggling to get free from their grasp, he was even more confused than me, which made me chuckle.

The red fur suddenly stopped struggling and just looked at me with a dumbfounded expression. After a few long seconds, he pointed at me, again.

" I like him!" Alexander said as he suddenly turned to face the doctor, his eyes full of determination.

" Can he go to the Pastra kingdom too? He will right? He is old enough right??" The kid's eyes were making the adults uncomfortable, they were at a loss for words as their souls were visibly leaving their bodies. It was fascinating to watch. A child burring adults with questions.

I wanted to ask what were they talking about when the door suddenly opened in one swing.

There was a man who stood tall, his presence drawing attention without effort. His frame sturdy, with broad shoulders that suggest strength and capability but despite his inflicting build, his demeanour shows a gentle warmth that draws people in rather than intimidates them.

His face is strikingly handsome, featuring muscular yet soft features that highlight his attractiveness. High cheekbones lend a sculpted quality to his overall appearance, completed by a strong jawline that adds a touch of ruggedness to his graceful appearance. His full lips perfectly sat on his face.

What sets him apart were his eyes — large, deep-set, and remarkably gentle. They are the colour of fire, a warm and inviting shade that contrasts with his fiery red hair. His hair falls in thick waves, framing his face and adding to his magnetic presence. Each strand seems to shimmer with hints of copper and gold when caught in the light.
