Sick {HunHan}

Chapter 5 - Keep us secret

Continuing chapter 4's time
--------------------

Silence ruled in the room, filled Sehun's ears and clutched his heart tightly; he was expecting the worst.

"Who."

Luhan's word was more of a demand that a question, and Sehun had to answer, honestly.
He lifted his head and locked eyes with his master. He took a deep breath. Two. Three.

After hearing Luhan's full story, he'd noticed that, excluding the fainting, he'd been experiencing the exact same symptoms as his blue eyed master. And when Lay asked if he had anyone in mind, he just knew. But he hadn't told anyone about it because he knew that if he did, he would be thrown out and never see his deer Luhan again.
No. No, not his dear Luhan. He wasn't and he would never be., that was a fact.
Sehun's thoughts were cut off by an impatient Luhan. He coughed discreetly, gaining the blonde boy's attention once again.

"Sorry. I just... When you were telling the Healer all those things, I was listening of course, because I was worried, but then I noticed that everything you said fit on me, too! I got so scared and I didn't say anything because I knew that them I'd be taken away from you... Your family, I mean, and then I wouldn't be able to spend time with you... All. With you all."
Luhan's blue eyes didn't waver from Sehun's black, he'd locked them together, and the key to open the lock was each other, who had caused their dearest to fall sick, with love.

"And I am so, so sorry, Luhan, " Sehun began apologizing, he wanted so bad to pull back his confession, his deepest secret that no one was supposed to know about.
"Sehun-"
"No. I am sorry. Can you forget this, please? I-"
"Sehun, listen. Okay?"
Sehun nodded, avoiding looking at his master's intimidating blue eyes.
"That day I said that I had no one in mind. That... Was a lie, Sehun. A big lie, because in reality there is someone I have in mind. In fact he's on my mind all the time, and I like him there.
Do you want to know who that person is?" Luhan asked. His hand slid forward slowly to connect his soft fingertips with Sehun's chin, and the younger boy shivered as chills embraced his body in seconds.
He nodded again.

"Then tell me who you're thinking of first, " Luhan teased his servant, whose eyes became twice their normal size when he processed Luhan's requirement. Then, the other smiled, just enough for Sehun to see, and to realize that he was being teased.

Luhan started talking again: "Ask me who I am in love with, and. My. Answer. Will. Always. Be.
You, Sehun," he said, poking Sehun's cheek softly with every word, "it's you who makes me dizzy when I feel clear, who makes my heart race when I sit still, and you, who makes me lose consciousness when I'm wide awake."

He poked the younger boy's chest with the hand that wasn't holding his chin.
"Now, who made you sick? One of the maids? Or maybe... Someone closer to you?" He asked, his eyes full of concern for his beloved servant - scratch that, his beloved friend.
Sehun looked into his eyes once again, eyes that could swallow him whole like quicksand, the more he struggled, the deeper he went down into the ocean of deep blue that was his master's - no, his friend's irises.

The word was stuck in his throat, choking him, he needed air, he couldn't breathe, he started hyperventilating, his vision became blurred, the sounds went far away, everything was distant, the world was spinning, he...
Was in Luhan's arms, staring up at the latter's bright blue eyes. Concern oozed like flames from him as Sehun hesitantly opened his eyes and stared into the older's.
The world had stopped spinning, but that one word was still stuck in his throat. He wanted it out.

But it was an illness that, only the second it was mentioned, would become real. And the Healer had said, 'it is a fatal disease. If it is not cured in time, the patient risks death'.

Death, Sehun thought, what a scary word. A murder. Luhan, please forgive me for saying this. Please let this thing still be curable when I have said what I am going to say now...

He finally gave in to Luhan's soft finger gently pushing his chin upwards and locked eyes with Luhan. Both pairs of breathtakingly beautiful eyes were filled with worry and expectation as Sehun's lips finally managed to form the word Luhan had been waiting to hear for so long;

"You." he said.

Later that day
--------------------

After both of their "confessions", the two boys talked about what to do next, as they obviously couldn't let their family, friends or anyone else for that matter know.
They'd discussed everything, from what to do with this thing inside them needing to come out, to who they could tell it to as it would be nearly impossible for them to keep a secret like that all to themselves.

At first, no one came in mind for either of the boys, until Sehun finally remembered someone.
"It might seem like a bad idea but, he's actually a really trustworthy person! Tao's butler, I mean. His name is Kim Jongin!" Sehun suggested.

Luhan nodded, suddenly remembering someone too.
"Well, there is one of my friends that I can always trust with my secrets... He's really short, but he can be scary if you offend him! His name is Do Kyungsoo."
