Musical Alchemy Oneshot

Two- Fever

(It's raining hard around Corona and Old Corona, forcing farmers to stay inside and hope the rain will make the crops grow. While inside a certain alcahmiest house down in the basement, Varian write some notes on chemicals and effects to be caution on. He hear the sound of lightning and thunder, causing Rudiger to hide in fear.)

Varian: Hey, Rudiger. It's okay. (Grab him and pet him) It's only hot air coming out of control. It can't hurt you as long you're inside.

(Rudiger purr against Varian chest as he is getting petted by the ear. And then the sound of loud knocking on the door cause the two to scream. Quirin voice is heard behind the door.)

Quirin: Varian. Someone who knows you is here and is very sick, she said her names is Judy.

Varian: Judy's sick?! Send her in dad!

(The door open and in came a very sick Judy holding Odette. Judy face is red and sweating while her hair and clothes are wet from the rain. Varian put Rudiger down and came to Judy with worry in him.)

Varian: Judy, what were you doing?! It's raining hard out there and dad told me you're sick!

Judy: I know.. (Coughing) but this is serious and you are the only one I can trust with this.

(Varian took off his one glove and press against Judy forehead, feeling it burning hot. He put the glove back on.)

Varian: It's no wonder, you're burning up! Got a real case of a fever. Come on, I can take you to my room.

(He grab Judy by the hand and take her upstairs to his room. His room is not much, a bed by the window with a nightstand, a desk with his alchemy work, bookshelves with books and a small sink with a mirror. He put Judy in his bed as she lay down. He get up, walk to his sink and get a cloth wet and place it on Judy's forehead.)

Varian: Can you tell me another symptoms you're having?

Judy: Really hot, coughing, got a bad headache, sweating up, my body aches when I sing and I am very cold.

Varian: Did your parents know of this?

Judy: They do, but none of them are trained in healing.

Varian: So you came to me in hope I can cure you.

Judy: (coughing) You're great with alchemy, so you can create a medicine for me.

Varian: I never made a medicine, but I'll do what I can. Till then, stay in bed.

Judy: Okay. Thanks Varian. (Smile)

(her smile made Varian heart go crazy, he let out a blush and a small smile as he get up and walk to his desk. He get to work on making the medicine for Judy's fever, Odette sleep next to Judy as she watch him from the bed. A few minutes later, Varian walk to Judy with a vial filled with blue liquid.)

Varian: Here we go. Drink it.

(Judy took the vial and drink the full fill till it's empty. She give it back to him.)

Varian: It should make the fever go away in a hour. Till then, just stay in bed.

Judy: Thanks. Uh, Varian? Can I have some soup? It makes me feel better when I get sick.

Varian: Of course.

(He let out a smile, which made Judy smile back as she lay down and sleep. He get up walk downstairs where Quirin in. He grab a bowl and fill it with soup that have been cooking.)

Quirin: She's a friend of yours?

Varian: S-She is. A..really good friend.

Quirin: You sure? Or do you have feelings for her?

Varian: (blushing) I-I-I...well...

Quirin: I seen the way you looked at her, it's the same thing I've done when I met your mother.

Varian: Really?

Quirin: Yes. And I think it's best you tell her how you feel before she and her family take off.

Varian: O-Okay dad.

(Varian took the bowl and walk back to his room, Judy is still sleeping in his bed. Varian stare at her, with a lovestruck look on his face. She look so peaceful when she sleep, he thought back on what his father said to him about telling Judy how he feel about her. He shook it off, she would never go for a alcehmist who is claimed to be dangerous by others, no matter how much she trust him. He walk to his bed, gently shook Judy to wake her up. Judy open her light blue eyes, seeing Varian holding a bowl of soup.)

Varian: I got you soup, just like you ask.

Judy: Thank you Varian. You're such a sweet guy.

(He can hear his heart pounding against his rib cage, as he handed the bowl to Judy. He sat on the bed as he watch Judy eat the soup. He can hope that one day, he will tell Judy how much he wish they can be more than friends.)
