~Most beautiful in the world~ Oscar/Arthur

Chapter 16

♡●♡●♡

Arthur pulls his arms back from Charles his hold and rubs with his hand against his arms.

"Arthur!" Says Charles, and Arthur looks at the bathroom door and then back to his lap.

He couldn't tell Charles the truth. What is he supposed to say? Nothing happened, Charles, I just blacked out and suddenly I felt the hot water. Charles will think something is wrong with him!

"This looks like light burns. Your skin feels like it's on fire."

"It's not burned, just irritated." Says Arthur softly, and he sees how Charles looks worried at his arms and neck.

"Is your chest also red?" Asks Charles, and Arthur nods.

"I had the water a little bit warmer, I think my body didn't like it." Says Arthur.

"How much warmer? This isn't normal Arthur!"

"Like 40°c. Something like that." Says Arthur

"Does it hurt?"

"A bit." Says Arthur, and Charles looked for this phone.

"I need to call Lorenzo." Says Charles, more to himself.

"No! Charles nothing is wrong. I just came out and it's irritated. It will fade in a few minutes." Says Arthur, and Charles grabs his phone out of his hand.

"Give it back!"

"You won't call Lorenzo, and he doesn't need to know about this. You make such a big problem for nothing." Says Arthur, slightly panicked.

The last thing he needs is his eldest brother here.

"I won't call him if you tell me what happened, and the truth, Arthur." Says Charles.

How can he say the truth if he doesn't know how it happened. He doesn't remember how it happened. He knew that he was staring at himself in the mirror, that he needed to throw up and after that, no idea. All he remembers is how he suddenly was in the shower and felt the hot water all over his body and he pressed the shower off.

"I was cold, and wanted to warm up. So I did raise the temperature. I think I put it at 40 °C. I stood under there for a while so I think my body reacted to that." Song Arthur and Charles nodded.

"Okay, how much does it hurt?" Asks Charles.

"Not so much, only when you touch it hard." Says Arthur.

"It looks like burns."

"Can't be, you can't burn while standing under a shower." Says Arthur, and Charles looks away.

"No, maybe not." Says Charles, and then he stands up and walks towards his toiletbag and is looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Asks Arthur.

"Pierre has this ointment, it's a cooling ointment. I had it in my bag but it's gone." Says Charles and sighs.

"I don't need it." Says Arthur, and sees how Charles rolls his eyes.

"You need nothing, like always," Says Charles, and then leans over the bed and picks up his phone.

"I'm calling Pierre and we're going to rub your body with the cooling ointment." Says Charles, and presses the call button.

"Charlie-." Says Arthur, but he stops talking when he sees the look Charles gives him.

"Pierre, hi. No, not so good. Did you bring your cooling ointment?" Asks Charles and Arthur hears the voice of Pierre but he can't hear what the other boy is saying.
