The Dawn - Sylus x OC

2. -FEATHER-

Everything went black.

________________________________

Time passed, i regain my consciousness my eyes still closed, i sense the surrounding to be very peaceful, the morning light coverings my face, the only thing i heard are some strange metallic noises, some boiling water noises and .. footsteps?

My head feels heavy, it lays on something soft, i feel my body sunk into the surface i lay on, the cozy surroundings and the smell of delicious food and fresh pressed coffee tingle my nose drills.

The calm sounds, almost home like sounds make my tense muscles ease up and my eyes feel heavy, i leave a light relieving sight

"Siiiigh.."

I lean into the cold pillow, warm wet towel that i didn't notice earlier feels cold on my forehead. I suddenly stop hearing any noise, just the boiling water, no footsteps.

My face tingles, the narrowing sunlight that once covered my eyes has been replaced by a shadow. I feel a slow breeze of air on my cheek it forces my eyes to open.

"You're awake"

Xavier is standing right in front of me, our faces inches apart, he is studying my face with his worrying looking eyes.

I feel my cheeks heat up, i look away.

He moves away with a warm smile, i could sense, he feels relieved.

"Come on hurry up, i made us some breakfast"

Hold on. How did i end up here.

"Ehh.. Xavier? What exactly am i doing at ur place?"

I asked, i must have come to my senses now.

"U fainted of exhaustion, noticing ur eye bags i can tell u don't sleep so well, u probably don't have time for that considering the amount of wanderers rising lately.."

"Yeah.. ure right I-"

"U need to get that checked, i can go to the doctor with u"

"Oh Haha that won't be necessary, thank u"

I gently smile at him, he doesn't seem to change his puzzled gaze, walking back to the kitchen he turns around and looks inside the pot.

"Oh.."

He sighed in sadness

"I forgot to put the eggs in the water"

Sadly almost like a lost child he stands in the kitchen looking at the pod that has been boiling only water for over than 8mins.

We ate breakfast and i headed back home, we said our goodbyes and i took the elevator down to my apartment. Yes, It was near but still i ended up at his place. I figured he probably forgot that i live here and wanted me to be safe and probably look out for me.

Eye bags? I thought as i slowly put my hand on my eyes, i notice puffiness as i open my front door and walk into my house.

"Finally home"

I let myself fall on the bed, almost slamming my face on the bed-frame.

That was a close one. I thought. I close my eyes , something brushes over my cheek again.

I open my eyes to see the black feather, amusingly dancing to the rhythm of the wind that entered its way through my open window.

I catch it with my palm and find myself twisting it. Soon enough i figure that it belongs to a crow.
