THE PRINCESS KNIGHT (GRAYLU)

Chapter Twenty: Cuts and Bruises

When we finally walked back to Gray's room. He decided to let me go home tomorrow. I was absolutely surprised. But it would be great to see my family and the rest of the kingdom. My response to it though was me jumping on him and bear hugging him. We started to giggle.

Since today is my last day in the Roe Kingdom. I was allowed to sleep in a room by myself. I know the first two nights that I slept in the same room as Gray was because I kept falling. But it feels so good to finally sleep alone. But I couldn't fall asleep. My mind was cloudy and full of thoughts.

Thoughts of Gray.

It's now almost four o'clock in the morning. This is really getting out of hand. I decided to go to Gray's room. I just decided it. Even if it was a stupid idea. I just couldn't sleep if he wasn't at least near me. Like on the couch like the other two nights.

So I sneakily went down the red carpet and fine stone halls to his room. I opened his door to be welcomed by complete darkness. I shut the door and it just got darker. I kept walking as quietly as I could. I was heading for the couch that was right in front of his bed. But apparently I wasn't sneaky at all.

"Lucy is that you? What are you doing?" Gray asked with his sleepy voice.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep," I said.

"You can sleep in my bed with me?" Gray requested.

I instantly walked back and started putting my hands up and shaking them. I was just dismissing the thought when I tripped over a table and felt a sharp pain in my leg. Of course I fell down too. But the thud was so loud.

"Lucy are you okay?" Gray asked me.

He turned on the lights and quickly ran to my side. He was examining my leg when we both saw it. There was a huge cut on my leg and it was bleeding really bad.

"We got to get you into the infirmary!" Gray demanded.

"No, I'm fine," I said.

"No you're not. Look at your leg it needs medical treatment," Gray yelled.

I got up to walk but I winced when I felt the pain in my leg. Gray picked me up bridal style again for the millionth time this week and took me to the infirmary.

He busted through the door. He started to go through everything looking for the right materials for my wound.

"Gray, why don't you go get someone?" I requested.

"I can do it myself, since it was my fault. Also, no one is ever up at this hour in the infirmary, unless it's an emergency. Not that this isn't an emergency. The maids would hate for me to wake them up just because I don't know how to stop your leg from bleeding," Gray told me.

"Oh," was all I said.

Finally he got the materials he thought he needed. He got a rag and rinsed it with water. He started to dab my huge cut. I winced every time. He apologized every time I winced. But it wasn't his fault. But he thought it was. Which was really cute. Then he put hydrogen peroxide over my wound and it started to bubble up. Then he wet my cut with the rag again, and dried it off when he was done. Finally he got a huge bandaid and putted it on my wound.

I got up to walk back to his room. But he stopped me and picked me up bridal style. It was so sudden. I started to blush really hard too. Gray why is it only you who can make me blush like this?
