Panty Problems

Chapter 3: Accidents Happen

The dreams were off and on. Sometimes he would wake up for a few moments but would almost immediately fall asleep again, other times he would wake and not get back to sleep until he drank. It was around noon that Claudia came by to check on him. It's never been like him to take a day off, let alone a whole week. It worried her to no end, but she couldn't do anything until her shift at the nurse station was over and then there were many people that wanted to talk to her. In the end she was exhausted and just wanted sleep, but her first priority was to find her serious cousin and make sure nothing was wrong. When she did find him she was surprised to see him so peaceful in sleep. Usually the man was tossing and turning and generally throwing a fit in his sleep. This was a nice change for him and it made Claudia smile gently. With a kiss to his forehead and a saying of sleep well, Claudia left with ease knowing he was only taking the time off to care for himself.

The next person to come across him had been Connor, who usually wasn't seen inside unless necessary. He had heard about his cousin's week off and had a feeling that something was up. He knew his cousin the best and how to get him to spill information. He had waited for the other to wake from his nap and when he did Conor wasn't expecting this.

"Conor, no. I can't tell anyone."

"Why?" Conor knew it was childish, but, no matter what Altair says, children are his weakness, and acting like a child will get you where you want.

"I can't tell you." He looked away from Conor.

"Tell me, and I will leave."

"I can't, it's a secret." True to his word Conor left Altair.

Altair's heart was racing. If he had said one more word he would have had to honor the consequences of the bet, and he wasn't ready for that. Looking to his side he found his snack and water still there and was glad about his past thinking. Within seconds the water was gulped down and the snack was tucked away. He wasn't really feeling all that hungry right now.

Getting up quickly was a terrible idea, his head was spinning and the room was going with it. He managed to somehow get on his pants that were across the room and get outside. Embarrassingly enough Malik just had to come by. His head wasn't clear as he walked and his feet decided to betray him just as he walked past Malik. The trip landed them both on their hind ends and in an embarrassing position.

Their lips had locked in the most intimate of gestures and the leg in between Malik's own would make outsiders think otherwise of their accidental stance. Altair on top of Malik being held close in an instinctive way and neither knew what to do with this predicament. Altair, after a few minutes of confusion and embarrassment, lifted himself up and muttered an apology before dashing away with a very unclear head.

Sorry it's shorter than the others. :/ I really meant for this to be posted like a week ago but I just didn't have the time then.

Updated. Had to fix a few things so Altair's not walking around in his (Claudia's) panties.
