Save (Gusion x Lesley)

Chapter Six

Gusion woke up that morning. He felt good actually even though his wounds were still fresh but he felt light.

He remembered his conversation with Lesley last night. With that, a smile appeared in his lips. Though it immediately faded when he remembered something.

Why does it seems easy for me to smile when it is about her?

He looked around the clinic, trying to find a certain magenta-haired woman but there was no sight of her.

He was actually expecting her to be still sleeping on the couch but she wasn't there.

He frowned but then he shrugged. Maybe she's preparing breakfast.

Ever since Lesley actually healed her arm, she began cooking for them. And hell, the woman could really cook. She loved it when she helped the cooks of the castle- which were actually quite old so Lesley said it was better if they could rest sometime.

And honestly, they loved her cooking. He was even looking forward to consume her cooking whenever he was out for a mission. The reason why he wanted his missions to be accomplished quickly.

Though it was Harith that was her favorite to cook for too. She loved making pastries for Harith which the latter made ecstatic because he actually loved sweets.

Gusion knew that Lesley was seeing her little brother to Harith. And the Leonin was happy he could make Lesley forget her worry about her little brother even for a bit.

He carefully sat from the bed then his gaze fell on the bed on his side. Harith was still sleeping.

It was actually the first time he saw Harith like that. His eyes were full of rage and hatred for the dark assassin. Gusion knew Harith's story and he couldn't blame him if he acted like that. He was still a child, and the desire to take revenge on that dark assassin surfaced on Harith's heart.

Gusion didn't know how it felt to lose someone you love, to lose your family. His family were all alive, but he didn't even know how did it feel to be loved by someone.

Just wait and see you old fools, my power will be known in the Land of Dawn without your help.

The door opened and Gusion was excited to see someone but he was disappointed when he saw Kimmy.

"Oh, hi Gusion. Good to know you're already awake. How are you feeling?" Kimmy said while placing their breakfast on the bedside table.

"Hell, but I'll live." Gusion answered, "Where's Lesley?"

"Lesley?" Kimmy reiterated, "The last time I saw her was last night when she took over on watching you two. You didn't see her when you wake up?"

Gusion was quite shock but he didn't showed it to Kimmy. He felt something was wrong but he chose to shrug it off. "I don't, didn't she prepare that breakfast?"

Kimmy shook her head, "No. The cooks were the ones who prepared this."

Something's not right. His gut feeling was telling him so.

"Did you check her room? Maybe she moved there to sleep." He said.

"I will check after you eat your breakfast, clean your wounds and take your medicines. Tigreal said he will be coming back here this afternoon to check on both of you."

Gusion just nodded and began eating his breakfast. Kimmy decided not to wake up Harith from his slumber because they knew that the child was regaining his energy.

While eating, Gusion couldn't shake off the negative feeling he was feeling right now.

It was very unlikely of the sniper to overslept since she was really a morning person. She was used on having short naps even before because she was protecting Harley in the shadows. Lesley could slept very late but she could still wake up very early without feeling sleepy.
