Chapt 8 worried sick

Moon p.o.v

Once I was in my bed I couldn't stop thinking about those grunts they looked scared of me it's a normal reaction if you know what I am. They shouldn't have though "Kukui said that they were the enemy" I sighed to myself. "If they know that I'm a Lunalan then what's the point of attacking me anyway unless they want to get the...school" I paused "is my being here put the entire place in jeopardy!? That would be very bad I feel guilty lying to people I care about but if me being here puts the school in danger imagine how much danger they'd be in." I tugged at my hair, this is so confusing "people are training to use dragons to save people and here I am running it for everyone, again." I was sent here to keep sacred items safe and I'm a danger even to that.

Little did she know there was someone who was walking around because he couldn't sleep and heard everything she had said. A guy with piercing green eyes, that night she couldn't go to sleep and when morning came started to get a headache.

"Oh, Moon you look horrid" Said Lillie as I walked into class "rough night" I said groggily "you look flushed as well" Said a worried Illima. "I'm *cough* fine it's just one of those days" "you don't have to do training if your sick" Said Kiawe. "I agree" said Sophocles they have enough on their hands they don't need to worry about me."I'll be fine" I reassured them they all said okay reluctantly but at this point they knew how stubborn and persistent I could be. Once the warm-ups were done and I had gotten off of Amaya I got a bit dizzy not now I can't... but after a while I had lost the ability to think. I ran up behind Gladion like when Chad ever comes into view.

"You look sick" he commented "I just need water" i mumbled to his back he then sighed even though I couldn't see it I'm sure he had one of his signature scowls on his face. "Moon you have a fe-" my legs buckled and I fell foreword into his back.

Gladion p.o.v

"Ver" I finished to the slightly conscious Moon who was now sliding off my back so I caught her but since she couldn't stand on her own I just kinda hugged her before tossing her over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes. She couldn't move so all of her faint complaints were muffled into my shirt "this is what you get for being reckless and not going to sleep when you feel stressed." When the class got around to noticing  they all laughed and asked what had happened apparently Illima and Hau saw and told the story in such detail that I was surprised.

I then heard a muffled whine "hmm" I asked the whine then got louder as she tried to move her head from my back "Gladbag put me down the blood is rushing to my head" I then started to carry her bridal style "Gladbag?" Lillie asked "I'm sick I don't feel like saying his super long name plus it's cute like him" "that's offensive considering you can do warm-ups with a feaver and my name is only one more syllable" I smirked.  "shut up I like it" "no you shut up Lillie is gonna make sure that you stay in bed for the rest of the day" I said "I'd like to see you try." "Your more annoying while sick" "HOW. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE" "how is what possible Hau?" "You both don't realize that she called you cute?!" "I guess not" I said "I did but it was only to tease him I wasn't going to act like-" she paused then smiled a smile to sweet to be genuine "hide me my love" she said over dramatically even in her weakened state then hugged me "do you want me to hit you" I said "would you?" "Yes I have before" "okay fair point" "Lillie come on" "huh? Why" Moon whined again "to make sure you don't leave. That is why you whined right" "hmph" "now let's go."

After about five minutes of walking I hear a soft snore "did she just?" "Mmhmm" nodded Lillie I was really angry until I looked down at her. She just looked so vulnerable and peaceful not badass or scary, for once she looked like anything could break her. And I have no idea why but I had the sudden urge to protect that vulnerable side of her, the one that had broken down last night. The side that had passed out on me, I wanted to protect the side that feels it's okay to show weakness even if not to anyone but herself most of the time. I wonder what made her like that "Brother" "hmm" "your staring" she giggled "I know." "Care to explain" "no" we had finally made it to the office it was supposed to be seven minutes but it felt more like twenty. Once I had laid her down on the bed and was getting to stretch out my arms she turned half asleep and mumbled "Gladbag you bastard get back here" and when she reached to only grab air she made a sound that was something between a growl and a sigh.

"Fine I guess I'm spoiling you rotten today" I sighed pulling a chair up and sitting by her "you know if you weren't so reckless then you wouldn't have to be here." "I wanna talk to you, by myself" she shot a look at Lillie and ms. Joy so they left "I should get you some ice" I said going to the freezer but stopped walking when she said "you know don't you, what clan I'm in" my brain starts to function again when I see her close to tears "yeah, I didn't know there were any of you left" I then handed her the ice pack "why did you do that? Don't you hate me?" "No, not really anyway. You never asked me how I found out" "how?" "I heard your break down and you seemed pretty hell bent on protecting us."

"But since I already know mind telling me who you are" she seemed like she was hesitant to so I sighed "I won't tell anyone, you can trust me I'll listen at least and give you some half assed motivation." "Moon Zaho of the Lunalans a hybrid more or less my father is Sogolayen. When my father was of age he became chief he and my mother were married and they were happy for over seventeen years but then when I was about six something happened. I don't really know what but my parents divorced and rage broke out from the two clans that used to be friends with each other. So you can understand  whenever someone sees me passing by that's all I remind them of so I didn't have friends and my mother could care less about what they said. She would always tell me to just brush it off the only thing I had was my brother. But even that got taken away from me once they decided to move away from each other so I really like you guys and if you got hurt because, I was sent here to look after artifacts when I could have left sooner! I-I wouldn't be able to forgive myself And then to have let you guys to deal with me and my problems." "Then are we your friends?" She looked up confused "I got myself into pretty deep shit a while back and those guys helped me to get out of it, I had bad parents putting it simply, being a friend is kinda just dealing with other people's problems."

Now she was listening intently "helping your friends is required even if it does get you into trouble with a grunt or two or having to carry someone because they can't take care of themselves properly. You don't have to worry about that much, it wouldn't be friendship or partnership if only one person benefited I'm not good with feelings and stuff but really if you need me to I'll listen and try and make you feel better I then got up to leave but was stopped again by "thanks you edgy ass bastard" "my pleasure, Moonbeam" before she could retort I left.
