Life's Just A Game

Chapter 9

[Racquel's P.O.V]

This is the best thing I have ever witnessed. The gang and I decided to visit Astrid after hearing that she's awake. We all asked permission from our supervisors to visit her, and they happily agreed. I mean, what's wrong with visiting a friend? On the way, this girl named Heather, decided to join us since she was also on her way to visit Astrid. She said that she was part of Night Fury's team together with Astrid. We were lost for a few minutes until we saw a bright white room with the words 'infirmary' etched above the open doorway. We walked in, only to see Astrid in a princess-carry by Night Fury. Astrid's face was flushed, a tint of red on her cheeks while Night Fury was scowling at her. A vexing grin reached my lips, as I have found a new source of entertainment with Astrid.

"Stop moving!" Night Fury scolded, his eyes glaring at her in frustration.

"How can I not move when you're carrying me like this?!" Astrid replied with a shout, an evident blush still on her cheeks.

He responded with a roll of his eyes and sighed exasperatedly, "Then what? Want me to drop you?" 

"Just put me back on the bed!" Astrid argued back. Aw, look how cute she is when she tries to be angry but flustered at the same time. Flustered? Whoa, that's a big word.

"I was told to transfer you to another bed since a patient is going to need that." Night Fury retorted, which caused the pair to fall in an uncomfortable silence. Until...

"You should've told me that! I could've done it by myself!" She yelled, the argument, once again, bursting back into life.

"In case you didn't notice, you have a broken rib and a fractured knee." Night Fury rolled his eyes once again. That's probably his favorite thing to do.

"And who's fault is that?"

"I already said sorry!"

They don't even notice they have an audience watching. That's how awesome their argument is.

"Is it just me, or are they fighting like they're friends?" Shawn whispered to me. I use my elbow to hit him, knocking the wind out of his chest. Shawn let out a silent groan of pain but Night Fury must've heard it, because all of a sudden, he froze.

Damn, he must have 20/20 hearing.

Is that even a thing?

I see him shut his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed. He lets out a groan, saying in an exhausted tone "You saw all that, didn't you?"

With a smirk, I nodded. I can't wait to see Astrid's reaction. On cue, Astrid decided to glance on our direction, trying to find out what Night Fury was talking about. Dread instantly filled her face, the color draining from her face, leaving her in a pale and frozen state.

"So... Astrid... I see you're awake..." I say, a smirk plastered on my lips. 

As if snapping out of hypnosis, she blinked her eyes and stared at us with wide eyes. I could tell that she was trying to come up of a response due to the sputtered noises coming out of her mouth.

"Y- you, thi- this..." She stuttered. Yes, stuttered.

This is going to be fun...

[Astrid's P.O.V]

Thor, just kill me now.

After Night Fury transferred me, he gave me some vitamins and went off to some Night Fury business. It was quiet when he was there, an awkward tension in the air that could be cut by a knife. Until he left, to which Racquel cornered me, and prepped me for an interrogation.
