The Monarch

The Sickness

The morning light shines directly on Alek's face. He frowns and pulls the blanket over his head. He sneezes.

Bridgette gets out of bed and walks down the stairs, so groggy and tired she doesn't notice Alek and trips over him with a yelp.

Alek sticks an arm out of the blanket, "shhhhh..." he mutters, before sneezing. His arm falls back down onto the blanket.

Bridgette looks at him and trembles "O-oh..." She looks away scolding herself for being so stupid "I-im sorry... I'm so s-sorry..."

"Mmmm.." he mumbles before sneezing, his head hitting the wall, "Agh..." he curls up, holding his head. "Stupid wall..."

Bridgette gulps and sits up. "A-alek...? Are you s-sick? I can help you!"

Alek shakes his hand. "No just songing..."

Bridgette sighs "Alek... you're sick..." She helps him up and begins taking him to the castle. "I-ill help you okay?"

"The snake doesn't like me." He mutters, his eyes narrowed.

Bridgette looks down as she takes him to his room. "O... okay." She lays him in his bed and grabs a wet rag, placing it on his forehead. She tucks him into bed. "T-there... n-need anything else...?"

He sticks out one of his arms. "No snakes for you!"

Bridgette smiles a bit, yet her ears remaining lowered. "Okay Alek... n-no snakes for me..." She puts his arm down and tucks him in again "Alright... better?"

"Stupid snake... he bit me in the side!" Alek closes his eyes.

Bridgette let's out a small chuckle "Snake? W-whos the s-snake?"

Alek sighs. "The mean one who was being a jerkwad..."

"James..." she sighs "How did he bite you in the side? I thought Timber damaged your side..." she places a hand where his scars are.

"No that! I'm gonna be a king.." he rolls away from her touch.

Bridgette Giggles a bit but pulls her hand away, trying to note everything he won't like, thinking she might be idiotic. "Okay.... I... I won't touch you..." She gulps and looks away trembling. "... H-hey Alek...?"

"Yeah lady my?"

L: (Sick Alek is fun but BRIDGETTE HOLD ON)

Bridgette looks away and keeps away from him. "Um... I-i... I won't be here tomorrow morning... s-so please don't worry... I'm just going to see my papa..."

"Nooo you'll miss the show~" Alek giggles. "It's gonna be so surprise..."

She shakes her head and bites her lip "N-no that's okay... I... I'm just g-gonna go..." She holds herself, "I-i just want you to know that you are one of the greatest friends I h-have ever had... a-and I really care about you..." She gulps and trembles as she leans to kiss his forehead, except she stops. She shakes her head and pulls away, feeling idiotic. "... S-so... g-goodbye..."

"Then you get surprise now!" Alek looks to her with a smile. He motions her over with a lazy hand.

Bridgette hesitates then sighs. She scoots a bit closer. "W-what is it...?"

Alek giggles. "You can't look!"

She covers her eyes with her hands and stays silent.

Alek giggles and leans forward. He kisses her nose quickly. "That's for you!"

Her eyes shoot open and her face burns red. Her eyes widen with shock and suddenly her ears perk up. "W-what...?"

"You're my favorite!" He whispers. "So don't be gone long!"

Bridgette whimpers before bursting into tears. She covers her eyes and cries.

Alek frowns. "Rain is good but not from people... that's not a good."

Bridgette cries more "G-get some rest Alek!" She runs from the room and shuts the door, running to the garden.

Alek hugs a pillow. "She should hug a people..." he mutters drifting to sleep quickly.
