It felt like days as asra slowly started to rise from his sleep, he'd slept well? Slowly moving his head around and his hands he felt more pillows, good... Pillows were good.
He let out a soft breath and then heard another noise not as familiar but yet comforting, the sound of a page being flipped in a book. The sound and aura of someone being there, he wondered almost who it would be. No question it would be the doctor.

Arsa slowly let his nose fill with the scent of something sweet, tea he smelled tea? Why tea? He moved a little causing to get attention from the doctor, "asra?" the doctors voice was soft and gentle.
"mhnm..." was the only thing he managed out of his mouth. Asra felt drained and exhausted like someone was taking his energy, "hey... Take your time waking up... I'm here and I got tea..." Julian yawned a little bit.

"mhnm...." was the reply from asra again, making the doctor smile a little. Julian knew asra would be fine and he closed his book laying down on the floor near him. "I'll be near just shake me if you need anything asra..." he said and put the blanket more over him and getting cozy in the pillow. Julian watched asra move for a while before he fell asleep himself, he was happy asra woke up at last.

Asra was still in a light sleep and once he fully awoke he moved a little to see the doctor next to him, his legs sticking out from the small blanket. He couldn't help himself and smile at the sight of Julian sleeping like that, "thank you..." he mumbled to the sleeping doctor.

He got up more and took a cup of tea, he sighed happily as the warm bevarage slid down his throat. He was still tired but he was warm, he was warm because the doctor had tucked him in in many blankets.

Julian made small tiny noises in his sleep and asra took note of this, it worried him slightly but not enough to wake the poor soul. He gently took the book Julian was reading and studied it, surprisingly it wasn't about anything medical. It was about a species of flowers, many flowers were in there and a small drawing caught asra's eye. A tall figure looking like Julian and a smaller woman looking figure, with the name portia.

He laid the book back next to Julian, deciding not to snoop further into his business. He enjoyed his tea and watching the doctor sleep, why? Because that man had been up for 3 days in a row without any rest and now he was resting finally. He made some more tea with his magic, "you're a foolish man doctor Devorak... But you care.... Caring about me even though you get annoyed by me." he whispered and reached out to put a little hairs back from his nose. "look at you... All tired..." he sighed "if you could just take care of yourself...."

Clueless and hopeless Julian stayed asleep during asra's muttering about him, he was too fast asleep. Dreaming of something he'd never expected to dream of, well it wasn't something it was someone actually. It was asra, incredibly worried Julian was even when he slept. Asra decided to just sleep again he wasn't going to get up in this state, "sleep well Julian...." he whispered and closed his eyes.

The library was silent and the only noise that entered the massive room were birds outside chirping by the windows. Julian was the first one to wake up, stretching himself and sitting up rubbing his face looking at asra. "asleep again? Well good you have to rest well" the doctor said. Slowly rising to his feet he shuffled around and gathered some clean clothing, he moved to a room next to the library which was connected. The doctors actual sleeping quarters he didn't use, shuffling to the bathroom he cleaned himself up to be all fresh and clean to take care of asra.

Julian had been in some conflict with the count making him less interested in curing him, so now asra wasn't doing too well asra was his priority. Once from the bathroom clean and dressed he walked back onto the library, asra was moving in his sleep. He walked over and gently took his glove off feeling his temperature "still quite hot but you cooled down...." Julian whispered and decided to leave his gloves off.

The doctor watched asra for a while and smiled "I shouldn't... I... Ah.. But...." he leaned a little closer and stroked some hiar out of asra's face. Julian smiled and let out a soft sigh "magician huh? I might as well start to believe in it.... Now you are looking like that.. All peaceful... The plague roaring on its highest point..." he whispered and gave him a kiss on his forehead. He flushed incredibly dark crimson and chuckled to himself.

He slowly got up tucking him in more and was really flustered, he had a thing for the little magician. Julian went back to his desk once he'd made asra comfortable, he was so distracted by asra... He was worried about him more than he was worried about the count. Julian rather saw the count die than asra, he'd never forgive himself if he got the plague and died because of him.

Sighing he got back to work and really wanted to find a cure now. He wanted to find a cure just in case asra got it, he felt close to the man even though he knew he didn't have a chance.

Asra was cuddling the blankets feeling the kiss on his head he had to contain his blush, he liked that doctor. Even though he had been heart broken in the past, he wanted to move on and try to at least find a cure... With Julian.. Oh that idiot doctor who got flustered way too easy. He smiled to himself taking in the scent of the doctors coat, he was going to try at least for that doctors heart. Even if Julian was as strange as he was, asra wasn't the most normal one either.

Falling further away in a dream with the soft scribbling in the background, it was peaceful. It was nice. Unless you went outside the Palace doors... The Red Plague wasn't nice.
