Midnight Aura

Chapter 5

A certain...someone? Is it me?

My heart raced.

Suddenly, Edward looks at me in fury.

"I GOT KICKED OUT BECAUSE MY PARENTS FOUND OUT THAT I TRAVELLED TO THIS DIMENSION! ARGGHHHHHH!"he boomed, his hands ran through his hair,"AND IT IS CLEARLY YOUR FAULT AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ME."

I looked at him, cowering.

"How do I take responsibility for you?" I questioned while trying to look at his face and not his abs.

He sighs, "I need a place to stay and I'm going to assume you are smart enough to know what I would say."

I gulped.

Please don't tell me you want to stay here!

"So...you are going to stay in my apartment."I confirmed.

He nodded,"I'm going to cr-cras-cash? At your place."

As he fumbled with the human slang, I laughed until the realisation hit me.

Oh shit.

I freaked out.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?"I screeched, my hands going through my hair. He nodded again. I inhaled and exhaled.

"Okay, okay, but I have no room for you to sleep in."

"I can sleep next to your bed."he suggested. I choked on my saliva when I heard him say it.

"WHAT?"

"I can sleep next to your bed. Your room has space next to your bed that is empty."he said calmly,"You just need to provide a mattress for me."

My nose suddenly felt runny as my head ran through the perverted side of it.

"Do all humans bleed from their nose often?" he asked.

I laughed awkwardly, "Nope, just me. Ahaha..."

I quickly ran to my room and pulled out two pieces of tissue and stuck them right up my nose.

"Let's get your mattress then."I hollered from down the hallway to Edward. He follows my shadow casted by the lights to my storeroom. I pulled out a mattress and dusted of the dust that accumulated since the last time Josh came over for a sleepover.

I tiptoed and jumped to reach for the mattress covers placed at the top of my closet but failed to. I was short and Josh usually did it for me.

"Need help?" Edward laughed from behind.

"Yeah."I pouted and stood aside as he reached for them.

"Here." he said, presenting the covers to me as he bowed ninety degrees. I giggled.

"What?"

"Thats a funny way to give someone something they asked for."I answered in between giggles. I took the mattress and fitted them onto the mattress.

"Catch it."I said as I threw one of the pillows on my bed to him. He caught it as soon as it hits his hands.

"Nice reflexes!" I complimented. He smirks smugly, "Of course, I'm amazing at everything."

I rolled my eyes.

I then noticed he didn't have any 'normal' clothing. The blood from my nose started to pour out harder. The tissue was almost soaked at this point.

I thought about it for a while.

Do I still have the clothing Josh left behind?

I dug through the piles of clothing and grinned. I had found a hoodie that Josh had left behind.

I turned to Edward and blushed at the sight of his topless body.

"H-here. Take it and wear it."I muttered as I looked away. He looked at it weird.

"How do I wear human clothes?"

I groaned at the thought of having to put it on for him. I muttered a few curse words under my breath as I hid my red face.

"Raise your arms."

He did so and I tiptoed to at least be able to reach the top of him. I fitted his head through the hole that was created for the head and pulled the hoodie down.

"It's 'crash', by the way."I said as looked for some shorts that would fit Edward.

"O-oh."

I pulled a pair of light washed jeans and threw it at Edward which he did caught because of his lighting fast reflexes.

"Can you help me pu-"

Before he could even finish his sentence, the blood in my nose shot the tissue put with the pressure blood was coming out.

"PUT IT ON YOURSELF, JESUS CHRIST! IT'S THE SAME WAY YOU OUT ON YOUR LEATHER PANTS!" I blurted and covered my nose with my hands, trying my best not to let more blood drip onto the floor.

"Ah...okay then."

My face was practically a moving red tomato at this point. I rushed out of the bedroom to my bathroom.

I leaned over the sink and allowed the remaining blood to drip out.

This man...THIS KOOCHU WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME!

My body's habit of nose bleeding whenever I get embarrassed or aroused was not supported by my blood condition- thalassemia minor. It wasn't deadly but it just meant the hemogoblin count in my blood was not as much as a normal human.

Thalassemia minor led to me having mild anaemia, basically.

I huffed as I grew dizzy.

"Hey, you've been in there for a while. Are you okay?" Edward asked as he knocked on the locked bathroom door.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine."I replied weakly. I wiped away the remaining blood on my face and washed away the blood stains on my sink. I snatched a cloth from the basket then held all my cloths.

I grunted as I walked over to the small puddle of blood on my floor.

"Isn't this fun?" I asked myself softly and sarcastically,"Of course it is, since you like bleeding so damn much."

Edward picked up his clothing as I cleaned the floor.

"Where do I put all these?" he asked, holding them in his hands. I thought about it for a moment then pointed towards the corner of the room which had my laundry basket.

"There."

He nods and places them in it.

"Why are your clothes so..."I hesistated and my face flushed a cotton candy pink,"revealing?"

He coughed and stares at me.

"It's something called 'tradition', you uncultured peasant."

My cotton candy pink cheeks turned red chilli red with anger. My head made a sharp turn to look at him.

"Well, I'm sorry I didn't know your culture, I didn't know I had to know it."I retorted sarcastically as I stared him down with imaginary lasers. He scoffs and lies down on his mattress.

"Goodnight, peasant." he teased and hides under his blanket that I provided to shield him from the oncoming attack from me.

"EDWARD!"
