My Bratty Baby Girl

Chap-26 •Asher w Xavier

♠Luna's Pov-°
 

            He hung up on me. I don't even know if he'll come or not. He will..right? I hope so. I look at Xavier. He's so pale. I go near him and stroke his hair. "How do you feel?"

"Shit."

His voice was weak, as exhausted as he seemed. I spent all the time stroking his hair hoping it'll make him feel a little better at least. It was no surprise I was worried but it was turning into annoyance soon with every passing minute with impatience and the question if Asher will come home. And soon.

Why didn't I tell his dad he was sick instead of saying he's sleeping. Why must I be an idiot when I'm caught by surprise. I didn't even notice when someone came home until the door slammed open and I flinched.

Asher came in with another familiar looking man and they both got near Xavier. The doctor started his work as soon as he was near him but his brother was looking extremely grumpy and frustrated.

It's been a few minutes. The doctor was giving some medicines after he was done with the injection and the look still didn't change on his brother's face. Starting to make me feel uneasy. That's when he looked at me. He kept staring at me until he rolled his eyes and I saw him visibly relax. His facial features are neutral.

Did he got even more frustrated?

"He should be better by tomorrow morning and good by afternoon." The doctor said ,packing his things up as he continued "He should get more sleep."

"Don't you know? Idiots don't sleep." Asher rolls his eyes again.

"He should sleep. Look at those nasty eye circles." I followed his finger and he was right. I noticed them before but I didn't put so much thought into it.

And Xavier was sleeping again. He came up to me. "Did you eat?" He asked.

"Yeah. There's some food left in the kitchen."

"I don't have an appetite."

"Why?" I asked

"I just don't." He started to sound annoyed again.

"Why don't you get some rest then?" It's a subtle hint to leave but he didn't understand or he did but couldn't care.

"How about you leave? And do some work. Don't you have some readings or assignments?" He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Asshole." I mutter and leave the room leaving him to talk with the doctor alone. Asshole. I roll my eyes. Who does he think he is? Fucking idiot.

It's been almost 2 hours and it's 06:00 pm now. The doctor left already but Asher is in his room still. I'm binge watching the 8th episode of Legacies while waiting. It's way better than to see his asshole face.

"I believe there's something wrong?" That was Rune along with Felix. One confused the other frowning.

"There is something wrong." I pause. "Something seriously wrong with your screw nut of a brother."

"He's home?" Felix asks.

I nodded and Rune was neutral but it seemed like he wanted to smile. I did catch a grin in his face, however very subtle. He made his way to Xavier's room and asked me to follow him and so we did.

Opening the door quietly, what came to the view was a guy. Half floor and half bed the same way I have found Xavier when I had just met him. It looked like he had fallen asleep with a thermometer in his hand. Rune carefully took it and placed it on his forehead. He exhales and nods.
