Cursed

Ch. 18

We laid on his bed silently, looking up at the ceiling. It wasn't awkward or anything, in fact, it was pretty calming. Well, despite the fact that what happened kept playing in my mind over and over.

I was kind of tired though, but my heart was still racing, so there was no way I was going to fall asleep anytime soon. I just laid beside Tao, my hand on my neck, feeling the spot where he had bit me. Although it had just happened, the wounds were already healed, the only sign that I was bitten being the faint pink mark on my neck.

"You didn't have to let me drink from you." Tao said out of nowhere, and I glanced over at him, then back towards the ceiling.

"Yeah...but I wanted to..." I said, and turned my head away from him, knowing that I was blushing again.

Tao turned onto his side, facing me, and pulled on my arm so that I turned to look at him in return. "I could have hurt you." He said, completely serious.

"But you didn't, and I wasn't about to leave you alone to suffer by yourself." I said, barely able to look him in the eye.

Tao sighed again, but pulled me closer to him. He shook his head, a small smile playing across his lips as he ran his hand through my dark brown hair. "You're too adorable for you're own good." He muttered, and my heart skipped a beat. I still hadn't recovered from earlier, and he goes and says stuff like that, only making my heart race more.

I just buried my face into his shirt, letting him play with my hair, twirling it around his fingers, brushing it out with his hand. The sensation made me sigh, eventually calming my erratic heart, and I grew sleepy. Even Tao began to drift to sleep after a while.

Luhan's P.O.V.

We sat patiently, waiting for Tao and Khristi, but the minutes passed without any sign of them. I sighed, rubbing my neck, and rested my tired head on the table.

"Are they coming or not?" Chanyeol asked, staring at the platter of sandwiches in front of him, practically drooling over them.

"Be patient. You know how hard it is to wake Tao up, especially when he's exhausted." Xiumin said, but I could tell even he was wondering what was taking so long.

"Should someone go see if they're okay?" Kyungsoo asked, something bothering him. "Tao hasn't fed in a while, what if-" he began, but Suho threw his napkin at him, stopping him mid sentence.

"Nope, if that had happened, I would know. Remember?" Suho sighed, and we all nodded.

"Someone should go check on them though. Maybe Tao grabbed a hold of her again." Kai said, letting out a small laugh.

I sighed, rubbing my neck again. "If you're so worried, you go look." I groaned, bored out of my mind, grabbing my fork and spinning it in the air above my hand using telepathy.

"No thank you. Last time I went to check on them, I walked in on them kissing and it got too awkward for me. I teleported out of there before they could notice." He laughed, but everyone just looked at him. "What?" He said, seeing everyone's eyes on him.

"They were kissing?" Chen asked, kind of surprised. "Like just a little kiss or like, full on, you know..." He asked, growing a little uncomfortable.

"They weren't trying to do anything. They were just kissing." Kai said, shrugging, but he seemed a little weirded out too.
