Toy Soldiers {SSoHPKC/Creatures Fan-Fic}

Chapter 26: Lilies and Vikings

»Seamus' POV«

I awoke with my arms still wrapped tight around Merel. Her beautiful face was deep in my chest and I could feel how warm her skin was. She had a light, cute little snore and I could tell by the way she slept that her bones hurt. Merel must be coming down with the flue or something,

*buzz* *buzz* *buzz**buzz* *buzz* *buzz*

The fuck? Why's my phone going off so much? I grabbed it and see an ocean of text messages, all from Eddie. It started clam, Hey bubba, don't forget we got Creature Talk and escalated to Dude Jordan is pissed. You better get your ass here, or at least tell us if you're not coming.

Fuck, I forgot. I haven't been on in a few episodes and the fans have been asking where I've been. Then my phone started ringing, Eddie's caller ID, and Merel's eyes slowly opened as she stirred in my arms.

I picked up, mad he woke her. "Hello?"

"Seamus! Where the fuck have you been!"

"I forgot to set an alarm last night." I replied. "I'm sorry, I'll be there as soon as possible."

"You better, cause Jordan is pissed and he's blaming me!" Eddie said, aggravated but not mad at me.

We finished our conversation and I set my phone back down. Merel looked up at me with her one colored, and one white eyes.

I kissed her forehead. "You feel feverish doll."

"I think I'm getting the flue." She mumbled.

"Then stay in bed today. I don't want you getting worse."

I started to pull away from her and got up from the bed.

"I need to go. It's podcast day."

Merel grabbed my wrist. "Please stay."

I hesitated for a moment. "I really wish I could."

She let go. "Okay, I love you."

"I love you too." I said as I started to head for her bedroom door.

Half way there, I stopped. I turned around and looked at her beautiful, but tired face. She needs me more than them. I don't trust her alone, but I don't trust myself alone either.

"The guys can deal." I spoke walking back. "My baby needs me."

She smiled as we cuddled. Her leg wrapped around mine, but not in the flirty way. It was more of the I need you now kind of way. I was right to choose her over them, but I can't make a habit of it. Last time I did, I lost her. I won't, never again.

»Later«

"There you fucking are!" Eddie yelled as I walking into the live stream room.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm here, aren't I?"

"Yeah, but we only have two topics left." James said pointing to the white board.

Most were crossed off, but one.

"There's only one left dipshit." I replied.

"Two." Dan corrected. "One isn't written."

"I thought Jordan said it has to he written or we won't talk about it."

Jordan sighed. "It's an exception."

I took a seat and we went through the last topic. Then our "secret" topic came into play, and for once it surprised me.

Eddie smiled. "So James, you have a big announcements."

"Yeah, for once." He joked. "For a long time people have been asking me why I'm single, and I finally, FINALLY, get to say I'm not."
