Noctis landed next to me in the castle where I was.
"So..I'm assuming you are here to take me back. Am I right?"
Noctis scratched the side of his head. "Technically I have to at some point. I also believe Ignis will not leave in peace till you are down there with him.
"Is he upset?" I looked at the setting sun.
"No not at you, more like at me a bit."
"I see...I should probably go back." I twitched a bit, feeling the painkillers begin to stop working.
"Are you in pain?" Noctis asked me. I averted my eyes, biting my lip. "Just a little."
"Then I am sorry but think I should return you to him. I don't want an angry Ignis. You understand right?"
I nod my head. "Then come with me. I'll lift you to the ground."
Gently Noctis picked me up. Using his most careful teleporting method. In a flash, we were down to the ground.
"____..?" Ignis' soft voice called to me. I glanced up seeing he walked to me slowly. Noctis placed me on my feet. I kept a grip on his sleeve to keep me from falling over. I was still weak. I was so embarrassed I hated this. I used to be stronger than this..
"How was your relaxing, nice view?" I was surprised to hear that from my crush. He wasn't upset.
"It was beautiful."
"May I Noctis?" Ignis reached a hand out to me." Of course. I need to go now ____. I have some work still."
I let go of Noctis' sleeve. Not wanting to take Ignis' hand. I tried to walk by myself. The first two steps I took were...not the greatest.
I hissed quietly to myself. I didn't fall I just couldn't, I couldn't walk well alone.
"_____, let me help you. Please." Ignis stood close to me. Ready to grab me in case I fell.
"Fine....I just wanted to walk without help."
"I know.., you are trying. You still need time." Ignis looped his arm around mine to balance me out. My back was nice and straight now.
"I'm here for you. Now, let's return, I need to check your wounds."
(Inside the Castle)
Ignis gently let me to my room, he kept his pace matched with mine.
"Please sit on the bed. I need to check your wounds."
"Okay.., but don't touch them."
"Are you in pain..?" He lightly lifted my shirt to check my beaten body. I flinched from the air a bit.
I sighed."Yeah..the painkillers wore off."
"W-why didn't you say sooner??" He sounded worried.
"..sorry, I just don't want to rely on them."
"Well, you didn't split any stitches, so that's good." Ignis dropped my shirt down. He lightly leaned forward to hug me. My face was crushed into his shoulder.
"...my headache only gets worse, each time I think about what you have been through without us.." He breathed. "Ignis..?" Was he crying, he sounded sad.
He kept on hugging me. "Well I lived, and I'm here."
"I swear I will bring you back to full health. No matter what." "I know..I can't stop you. Thanks for everything."
"Now them take care of yourself too Ignis. Your headache."
He let me go and looked me back in the eye. "Not until I get what you need."
I sighed. "Okay just, make sure you rest too."
"I promise." He replied. He stood up and left the room.
Later that evening. Ignis brought me some more painkillers and food. He made a gentle tea to help me relax. At some point while I was reading a book. Ignis had managed to pass out on the corner of my bed. His glasses squished into his face.
I shut the book and placed it on the side table. I slowly crawled over to him, took the glasses off his face, and put it on the table.
'..Well, this wasn't what I imagined. I don't want to wake him but.' I thought to myself.
I moved to the very far side of the large bed. Keeping a big gap between us. I curled up in the corner under my sheets. The longer I listened to Ignis' breathing, the more embarrassed I got. The harder it was for me to sleep.
Eventually, I fell asleep, after staring at the walls. I was nervous to think just what was going to happen when I woke up.
Ignis usually gave me space, he never fell asleep on my bed like that. The man was going to be surprised in the morning.
