CHAPTER FIFTEEN: Take care of yourself!

LESLEY

"H–Hey!" I shouted, trying to wake Gusion who was unconsciously leaning to my shoulder. "..I can't.." he starts to speak which made adjust my position to look at his face more. "You can't what...?" I asked him. Seeing him burning up, I know he has a fever. "I can't breathe that much..." he said, starting sweat. I stroke his hair making his forehead expose from his hair down before.

I groan as he started to get heavy. Making our way inside the building, Once I knock on the door in front of me, seeing Harley startled. "What the–" "Language!" I shouted. He rolls his eyes and moves away to make us go through the door.

"You got school, right?" I asked as I put Gusion gently on the bed. "Yeah." he shortly replied. I waited for Harley to leave, so I can think about what's happening with him.

I slowly analyze his body from head to toe and went back to look at his face. He's sweating a lot, I quickly grab the towel from the drawers and went near him. I cupped his face with the towel, of course. Gently wiping the sweat so he won't catch any symptoms from the cold while he was sweating. Stroking his hair, revealing his forehead, pale skin.

"Sheesh, do you even look after yourself?" I loudly thought, speaking. His cheeks are burning up and kept sweating a lot, I quickly grab another towel and soak it with warm water. I gently put the towel on his forehead.

I can't help but feel my eyes getting heavy with this cozy atmosphere.

. . .

The third person, speaking.

Gusion feeling something on his forehead, a warm and soak in water of a towel, he's guessing. He wonders his eyes around where he was laying until he saw the girl he admire with her long reddish magenta hair, side bangs covering the other eye, into a deep slumber. He realizes, something is also on his hand and felt flushed all of a sudden as if he was getting this romantic excitement in him. Feeling her hand is on his.

He turns his gaze back to Lesley's face, who was laying her head on the bed, just beside Gusion.

She looked after me? he thought and lips almost reaching to his ears, at this point, he barely holding his words of excitement together. He slowly gets up from the bed, he's now sitting, looking around again for details.

I'm in their dorm? he asked himself.

Soon after, Lesley woke up abruptly from the quiet noises. "Sorry...Did I woke you up?" he asked as soon he noticed she was rubbing her eyes. "Part of it," she replied, still feeling a bit tired. "I'm sorry for the trouble," he started and rubs his head from the back.

"Sure, causing me to get you all the way here, by myself," she explained, sarcasm feeling up in her voice. A short nervous chuckle Gusion replied, "I–well..." he was out of words, and couldn't think what to excuse. "Whatever, so mind explaining why you're out of breath?" she asked again, crossing her arms.

"I–I was trying to escape from something..." Gusion manages to have the courage of telling the truth.

"The Mage's from my family is still forcing me to go with them, I manage to escape and glad I found you," he explained and started to tremble a little bit, although it's hard to believe he's showing this side of him when he acts cold to people.

Lesley furrowed her eyebrows, "Please don't mind me asking, what do they want for you to do?" she asked. Gusion shrugs his shoulders, "I think I remember they mentioned the thing about crystals and the staff of something." Gusion explained and strokes his hair to the back.

"Crystal's and staff? Don't the Empire was protecting them from the start?" Lesley said, more like a question. Gusion sighed deeply and squint his eyes. "What's wrong?" Lesley asked.

"This is very confusing, My head couldn't function that much," he said in a nuisance tone. "You'll get it through, eventually." Lesley putting a reassuring smile on her face which made Gusion feel relief. "Winter is coming around, you should take care of yourself especially because of the cold atmosphere," she said with a grumpy face on.

Gusion chuckled softly, "Don't worry that much about me." he said.

"Sure, and next week is the mission, right?" she asked.

"Oh yeah, I kinda forgot about that part," he said and laugh it off, making Lesley rolls her eyes.

A moment of silence filled in the room until someone burst into the door. "Lesley! Are you there?!" Natalia shouted worriedly, "Argh, Nat, I'm completely fine!" Lesley answered, a bit annoyed. "Thank God—what the hell is he doing here?" she asked as soon she noticed Gusion was sitting right next to Lesley.

"Can we explain now?" Lesley asked, keeping her temper. Natalia nodded. After Lesley explained everything except for the reason why Gusion was out of breath. "It's actually in a cold breeze, but sure." Natalia making facts.

Gusion rolls his eyes, "It's because I don't run that much." he excused. "Lame excuse for an assassin." she hissed. "Can you guys stop it?" Lesley said, already feeling there was a tension growing within the two.

"Since we all skipped our class, why not talk about something else first?" Lesley suggested and getting up from where she was sitting. "Ugh, Fine," Natalia replied and heading towards their living room.

"I'll give you guys some sandwiches if you guys don't mind?" she asked while walking in the direction where the kitchen at. "Nope, I'm glad I ran over here for something," Natalia answered, making herself comfortable sitting on the couch while her feet are on the small table.

"I'm fine with anything," Gusion answered, and manage to stand up. Lesley nodded in response and made the sandwiches pretty well. As the three assassins talk about their mission next week, eating and talk about other things.

Natalia stands up, "Alright, I have to go now, thanks for the food." she said, smiling sweetly to the both of them. "It's no big deal, Take care," Lesley replied with a smile planted on her face. "Yeah, take care," Gusion said with a playful but straight face. Natalia notices and chuckles.

After Natalia left, It's now just the two of them. A moment of silence, wondering what to say to each other.

'Aight, this silence again!' Gusion thought.

'Seriously? Say something!' Lesley on the other hand was scolding herself.

"I–", the two of them started in unison, both started to laugh it off. "I can't say anything." Lesley rubbing the back of her head. "It's fine? Well..." Gusion turning a shade of red on his cheeks. "What?".

"I may have a fight with my parents and they're waiting for me to get back at my dorm," he explained. Lesley was confused at first but shook her head. "What's that got to do with me?" she asked, knowing it will be a bad idea. "Can I stay over for a few days?" he asked, looking away. "W–What..." she can't stop but think about something, naughty. She shook her head once again and slap her both cheeks.

"Hey–" "I have Harley and now you?" she was turning red all of her face, Gusion felt shivers about Lesley giving him a dagger look. They were still standing near the door where Natalia just left a few minutes ago, Lesley just a few inches away at Gusion, standing next to each other.

The door slanged opened, enough to see a sweating and grumpy little boy, Harley.

"What happened when I was gone?!" he shouted, trying to pull the collar of Gusion's shirt but failed about the height difference. Gusion laughs loudly and that made Harley angrier.

"You—giant pig!", the little boy couldn't function his mind and stated the right words to insult the guy in front of him.
