Chapter 34: Forced Rest

2nd POV

Numb pain. That's what you're used to whether it be emotional, mental or physical. In this case it's physical. It isn't just focused on one area either, it spread across your whole body.

A faint yellow light enters your vision as you slowly open your eyes. You notice the dirty white walls decorated in black lace designs and the soft curtains that connect to the four poster bed posts that you are currently situated in. The next thing you notice is the pressure on your side, not a painful pressure.

You lift your head up, with a painful groan. You push down the blankets away from your face and peer down to your stomach. A smile graces your lips as you see Zalia curled into your side, tiny arms clinging onto you in a protective manner.

You bring your hand down and lightly scratch her ear. She leans into your touch and tightens her little hold on you. Her eyes open slightly, widening once realising your awake.

"(Y/n)!" She shouts causing you to flinch slightly at the sound. She then throws herself towards you, gripping your shoulder in a tight embrace.

"Ow ow ow and ow." You wince as the sudden movement caused your limbs to ache. Zalia immediately retracts herself and looks at you with regret.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry (Y/n), I completely forgot!"

You only smile at her and pull her back in with your hand behind her back, lightly scratching behind her ear. Her grip returns on your shoulder and you hear her hum slightly.

"You're awake." Rogue stands by the nearby door, looking at you with exhausted eyes, Frosch sitting on his shoulder.

"Yeah, I am." You free your arms from the blankets and grip the sheets either side of you. You groan quietly and close your eyes, slowly pushing yourself up.

You groan loudly as a firm pressure on your shoulders pushes you down forcefully, yet gently at the same time. Your hands come up to grip Rogue's wrist as he guides you back down to the comforting pillow.

"Don't even think about getting up. Your magic power is still low and your injuries haven't had a proper chance to heal yet so you are staying here in this bed. I don't care what you say, you are staying here until I'm satisfied that your healthy again."

You blink at him before smiling. "Gee, and I thought I would get away with saying I'm fine but apparently not." You sigh and rubs your thumbs on his wrists.

You then take more notice of Rogues eyes, noting how much darker they seem to be. "How long has it been since you slept?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Rogue, I've suffered through phases of insomnia, I know what dark circles are and the ones you have are at least 4 days old."

Rogue sighs and droops his head in defeat. "I've been awake since you've been asleep."

"Which is?"

Rogue is reluctant to answer but does so quietly. "A few days."

You sigh and muster up enough energy to pull Rogue down beside you. He stares in shock and goes to stand back up but you stop him. "You're sleeping with me then. If your forcing me to sleep, then I'm forcing you to sleep with me."

He goes to protest but the wave of drowsiness stops him from doing so. Instead, he gestures to Zalia and Frosch, who stands beside you, to them.

You reach over and gently grab the two exceeds and lift them over and place them down in the middle of you and Rogue. They nestle themselves in between and lay down comfortably, and hugs the both of you whilst you pat them. It isn't long before you all drift into a dreamless slumber.
