VIXX'S VOODOO DOLL

Chapter 35

N awakens to May climbing out of his arms.

"My May, where are you going?" He asks sleepily, sitting up.

"I'm going to see if Leo's okay, he was still burning when I left," she whispers, and kisses his forehead. "Go back to sleep," he doesn't really hear her, just feels her lips move against his skin, "I'll come back."

"Okay," he mumbles, collapsing back.

He could feel that his burned skin had healed during his sleep. He glances at Ken on the other bed, he was no longer red. That Aloe stuff that May had put on them had felt amazing on his crisp skin. But he couldn't help but wonder, what made Camille snap? She had left them alone for three months. Could it have something to do with May?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May nearly sighs in relief when she sees Leo's peaceful body lying on the bed. Hyuk stands next to her and whispers in her ear.

"He stopped burning late last night. He was in a lot of pain until I put that stuff on him. Then he was more... comfortable."

"That's good, and he's almost healed too, he should be unblemished by the time we have to leave for Chicago, right?" She asks.

Hyuk nods slightly, "Right now he should sleep. Camille just tortured him with his biggest fear."

"What?" She turns to him, her eyes wide.

"All of us have something we are terrified of," he explains, "Leo is afraid of fire, I'm afraid of water, Ravi's scared of bugs of any kind, Hongbin hates the scent of mint, nobody knows why though."

"I didn't think you guys were afraid of anything," May comments.

Hyuk chuckles humorlessly, "Everybody fears something, even us."

"What about N and Ken?" She asks, looking back at Leo.

"I'm not sure about Ken," Hyuk starts, "But I know N fears losing. Whenever we don't win competitions, he hides it on stage and when there's a camera around, but behind the scenes, he has severe anxiety attacks and the whole, 'being dead' part doesn't help."

"But, he and I lost Chicken back in Japan, he didn't freak out there," May protests.

"That must have something to do with you," he answers, "He's been more relaxed ever since you accepted him as your mate."

"I wouldn't say I accepted it," May retorts, "I'm still not cool with the fact that he Claimed me without my consent, but I've gotten used to it. And, if I'm honest, if I had to be Claimed, I'm glad it was him."

"You really love him, don't you?" Hyuk asks, almost longingly. She smiles to herself.

"Yeah, I do."

"Then get back to him, I'll take care of Leo," Hyuk urges. She smiles at him and leaves. Ken is in the shower when she gets back to his and N's room. She knocks on the door lightly.

"Ken, I'm out here, don't come out naked please," she says quietly as to not wake up N, who was face down in a pillow.

"Okay!" He calls back.

She goes over to N and climbs next to him in the bed. Before she can even lay down, his arm is wrapped around her, pulling her to him. He lifts his body and face so he can pull her underneath him.

"N, what are you doing?" She asks, slightly worried.

"I want to look at you," his voice is a whisper.

He is straddling her and his hands are by her shoulders. He doesn't move any further than that though, just stares at her. She shifts uncomfortably, avoiding looking at his bare chest.
