Those Pretty Brown Eyes

Chapter 6

The Incident

As mom left the room I started to undress Edward. He was awake a bit but not in a condition to do anything.
As soon as I unbuttoned his shirt, I saw many bruises and marks on his chest and stomach. The whole back was also in the same condition just worse.  Some were fresh the rest looked like a week old. First I thought that it is because of his clumsiness but my eyes went on the scratches and marks on his arms and wrists. Now that explains why he wears full sleeved shirt. There was definitely something bad happened to him. Anyway I put his hand on my shoulder and we went to the bathroom. Edward was now awake enough to walk at least.

As soon as I turned the knob of shower he clutched me tightly because the water was freezing cold but I had no option left but to soak myself also along him because he wasn't going to leave me till that cold water is running.

I heard the opening of our main door and assumed that the doctor has arrived. So I quickly took Edward back to the room, dried him and myself and dressed him. My clothes were also wet so I changed them.
The doctor gave him an injection and prescribed some medicines and told that he would become healthy in a couple of days.

I went to my football practice but there wasn't a moment when I didn't think about Edward. Those bruises, marks the image of him wouldn't let me concentrate. So I decided to end my practice and went to eat something at a nearby cafe. There I saw Sid and Max who were discussing something probably the assignment as I could see they were writing also. I avoided them and took my order and went to my car just then someone called my name.
"Hey Noah wait! "
"What?"
"I was just asking that have you seen Edward he didn't came home today."
"Yes he is at my house."
"Why is he there?"
"Why do you care?"
"That's so rude of you."
"Now mind your own business and don't interrupt me ever again."

I was not in a mood to talk to him or anyone so yeah that's the best I could reply. He should be thankful that I don't punched his face.

I reached home and it was already 7 p.m. My mom asked me about the practice as usual. I didn't paid attention as usual when she literally yelled at me.
"Noah Graham Courtney!  I am talking to you and you are supposed to answer me."
"What?  It went as usual." She knew how much I hated my middle name and that's the reason she called it so that I would speak. After all she's my mom.
"There's something you need to tell me?"
"What?"
"That Edward is blind."
"Ohhh ummm I was just going to tell you."
"He would have fallen from the staircase if I wasn't there. You should have at least informed me about this."
"Huh.. Yeah sorry, is he alright?"
"Yes he woke up a for a little bit but he is sleeping now. The medicines have a strong sleeping effect."
"Did he ate something?"
"Only sandwich."

I rushed to my room to check on him and rather he was sleeping like a baby. Aww how can he look so adorable. Then I remembered that I also have to do the assignment so I started doing it. It wasn't a very long one but still when I finished it, it was already 11 p.m. Now I was feeling sleepy so I turned off the lights and went to my bed where Edward was sleeping. I couldn't control myself but to only look at him.

Noah what is wrong with you, you can't do this, is this love or infatuation. But this never happened with any of the girls before.

Finally I lost control on myself and kissed him softly on the lips. Oh God I would have felt more good if he kissed back but he was in deep sleep. I the cuddled him firmly with my arms and legs and drifted to sleep.

*Edward's Pov*

I was feeling somewhat better than before and I was feeling something heavy on on my chest, legs and thighs.  What is this the awkward feeling on my neck. I then realized with the scent that it was Noah who is cuddling me and deep asleep because he wasn't reacting even though I was now moving to let him notice that I am awake. Noah's head was extremely close to mine and it was his breathing which felt awkward on my neck.

I was never been given such a treatment by anyone. And he barely even knows me so why is he behaving so nicely to me. I don't know what the reason is but a part of mine also began to like him. And out of nowhere I decided to let go of the worries and awkwardness which I was feeling and cuddle him back and fell asleep again in his arms.
