[OhmNanon Mafia AU] Melting Ice

A Confusing Conversation

The first thing Mix had noticed about the kid was how skinny he was, which is why he had ordered Perth to get the boy a change of clothes from Mix's own wardrobe, because his was the smallest size in the house. Well not anymore, thanks to his pregnant belly, but his old clothes should work just fine.

They didn't. They also hung loosely from the boy's shoulder. He needed to eat a little more.

The second thing was that the boy had a lot of injuries from what ever happened to him at the Triad and a lot of them were way older. Both were bad though. It took Sea and him at least two hours to address all of them.

Mix had emerged from the guest room after an exhausting treatment, dearly in need for his juice box, only to find both Drake and Ohm sulking at each other from different corners of the living room. Mix was losing his patience to deal with this entire situation. Usually, Earth was his impulse control.

"Look Ohm I am not going to ask you what happened. It's none of my business but I swear to God if any of you go near that boy with an ill intent, I will have your kidneys."

"Tell that to Ohm," Drake did not even a lose a single second, before putting this out there.

Mix turned to Ohm, expecting an explosion of verbal abuses for Drake, but all he heard was a sigh.

Well, that was new. Mix's eyes narrowed in interest.

"I am not going to hurt him Phi. How is he doing?" Ohm sounded exhausted, and almost a little worried. Almost.

"He is fine. Once, we got his body temperature back to normal, he was quick to develop a fever because of the water in his lungs. So, right now Sea is giving him a sponge bath to get him to cool down."

Mix saw Ohm's hands tightly clench the glass of scotch he was holding. This was getting more interesting by the minute, for the sake of Ohm's sanity, he decided to ignore the action and continued.

"As for his injuries, a bust lip, wounds on both his wrists, a sprained ankle, and some wounds from a belt. I have put dressing on all of them and injected a pain killer. Now we just have to wait for him to wake up."

"Okay Phi, Thank you." Ohm said, not making any move to get up from the couch where he had parked himself.

"Thank you, Phi," That was Drake, but he moved to quickly stand, "Should I drop you off back to the hospital?"

"Yes, please Drake, first helpful thing you have said all evening."

"Phi...."

"Let's just go. I will be back in the morning Ohm. Sea will sleep here just in case Nanon wakes up." Mix paused, and then fixed Ohm with a slight glare, "I hope I can trust you around him,"

Mix would probably remember it till his dying day because for the first time in his life. he did see a flash of guilt in Ohm's eyes. It was like lightening, Mix almost missed it, but he was sure it was there. Though it was quickly covered with nonchalance.

"Yes, Phi sure," Ohm replied.

As Mix was walking out with Drake, he glanced back at Ohm. He looked like he had settled in on the couch for the night and was not planning to move.

Did Mix mention, this entire situation was very interesting?

********************

"Sir...Captain...Sir," There was gentle hand on his shoulder, trying to wake him up.

"Umfff..." Ohm turned around, to meet with Sea's worried looking eyes.

"Hmm Sea, what happened? What time is it?" Ohm sat up on the couch, pushing his bed head behind, with both his hands.
