"You really are an idiot Arthur."
Caspian entered the room where Arthur is stayin at.Seeing the male actually sleeping makes him sighed in relief knowing that it was only a minor injury that the opponent reflected on him.
Caspian drop the basket of fruits at the table and opened the curtain to let the morning even better.The weather today is clear as someone face, there's no single cloud floating up in the sky.
Someone came inside, startling the male and spun around to see who it was.It was his friend;Eli who also came with some fruits.
What is she even doing here?
Eli saw him by the window and was shocked, her face change there for a second before smiling.
"Hey there Caspian, I thought you aren't suppose to be here." Eli makes her way and also drop the basket of fruits at the table, grabbing a chair as she sat there.
"Well, certain someone said that Arthur was wounded.I thought he was dying so I came here and it was not that serious at all." Caspian laughed, instead sitting on a chair.
He decided to sit at the bed with half of his butt on the bed.
"So, what are you doing here?"
"I came here to apologize on behalf of our team.Jamie didn't meant to froze his feet resultung him falling down because of the imbalance of the body." Eli smiled, grabbing an apple from her basket and peeled it with a knife.
Caspian nodded, still she only need to drop the fruit and let him apologize on behalf.
Jamie was the one who need to apologize not Eli by herself.
"Do you need help?"
Eli, " No.I can do this with some tricks up on my sleeves.Wanna see?"
Eli didn't only have an ice ability, as she have a rare second ability.She smirked at Caspian before multiplying the swords into dozens, "I already have some things helping me peel them."
Caspian stared in amazement, that's really awesome!She can make dozen of one item only? This is such an awesome ability but it wasn't mentioned in the novel at all, Eli needed to be seen much more.
Caspian only nodded in approval, he suddenly had the urge to touch Arthur's golden hair.
Must be nice to think that he is indeed Azazel, is that why Arthur approached him once he found out that his name is Caspian. Smythe, his past lover said about his real name.
He felt pity for the male, he spend his time finding his lover but also died in vain knowing that he didn't get to see a glimpse of his hair atleast. But, now he guessed that he is finally reunited to him somehow.
"Ehem, who informed you about Arthur's injury?"
Caspian stared at Arthur's face, there's a small scratch on his left cheek but it doesn't mean that a small scratch can stop his face fron glowing.
"A friend of mine is the one who informed me."
"And who is that?"
"Well it—"
The door opened, cutting off Caspian words and gasped when he saw Alistair and of course a crying Jamie behind them. The two, Alistair and Jamie were suprised seeing Caspian, but they are more suprise when they saw Eli at the side, casually peeling some apple.
"Caspian!Huhu, i'm sorry it was my fault that Arthur was injured!" Jamie came infront of him, kneeling as big tears keep pouring down her eyes.
"You just sprained his left arm Jamie, you apologize to Arthur not me." Caspian chuckled, ruffling the female's hair.
It was not really her entire fault since the tournament is basicaly showing who have a great oppportunity to show how powerful they are.
"Still!Your his lov—"
"Can you shut up Jamie?Your making Caspian uncomfortable saying that they are dating." Eli rolled her eyes, she was not supposed to butt in someone conversation.
Caspian was not angry at all, but it's really different how much Eli changed.She's not that kinda angry at all those past few days as she always smiles at everything.
"I don't mind, and Eli is right.You need to quiet down since Arthur is sleeping."
"Fine!" Jamie wipe her tears aggresively, she stands up as she can now feel the numb on her knees.
"Sorry about her, and it's good to see you again Caspian.You gained weight,"
Alistair pulled the female away, letting Caspian have the will to stretch his arms.
"Yah, I have been gone like just a few days and you're saying that I gained weight?Hell yeah I did gained weight."
Arthur moved slightly, alerting the people inside as he tried to find anything to hold on and exactly that Caspian is beside him, Arthur right arm wraps around Caspian waist , burying his head at his lap.
"That's cute."Alistair said.
"So, who won?"
"Well, you already know who won Caspian."
Eli said, smiling as she remembered how the Headmaster announce that the Ice Faction won!
Caspian smiled secretly, he is right.Of course it was since it was written in the novel so he didn't expect alot.
"You should have seen how great Arthur is!"
Jamie said, her eyes sparkling. She finally got over from the crying mess earlier.
"Well that's a bummer.I wanted to see how much he improved. But, I guess he still have a long way to accomplish what he wants."
-----
The three left;Alistair,Jamie and Eli.Leaving the pink haired alone with a sleeping beauty clinging to him, he still have 25 minutes to stay here before he can go back and rest for a while cause he can't feel his legs anymore.
Arthur's head is very heavy! He even drooled on his lap, not that he didn't mind but it's very uncomfortable for him!
He ate the apples that Eli peeled for Arthur but Eli is not right here so he will just take a bite, and that bite turned into 3 apples that he ate. The Headmaster visited Arthur also, she was suprised seeing Caspian here but she soon relaxed.
Luckily, the Headmaster gave Caspian a book to read and boy he don't even wanna opened a page of that book.
It's the book that Ms.Claire gave him when he's at the clinic, the Koschei Manuscript.
About the boy and of course Azazel name pop there. It's a little creepy how it was very detailed and the book was really old.
He just put the book at the desk and stared outside the windoe while feeling Arthur's soft locks.
His mind trailed off where Ariuk and him had a conversation at the balcony. The conversation is a nerve wracking and he feel like his brain can't comprehend all of that, but he was a bit disappointed that Ariuk can only gave him half of the truth, now his hand is itching from knowing the whole truth, and why did he even appeared here.
It is also interesting how Noah, who is now Arthur actually had a lover before!How did Arthur didn't recognize the old Caspian back then? Where they also met at the ball and the two had a really heated fight.
But Arthur actually talked to him at the balcony, the Author didn't mentioned what happened with the two and a few days after that, Caspian died using black magic where his weak body can't take the magic flowing inside him without any proper preparations.
"C-caspian?"
Caspian blinked before taking off his gaze outside the window and landed at the concious male, who was still processing what is happening around him and how did Caspian got here, no actually what is Caspian doing here.
"Don't suddenly opened your eyes, just blink slowly you idiot."
Arthur did what he said, blinking his eyes slowy before wincing at the sudden pain from his left arm. Caspian gently lifted Arthur's head and properly put it on the pillow and went at the other side to do his left arm who is in a uncomfortable position.
"Just relax, you sprained your left arm from falling dow—"
"Are you real?"
Caspian scoff, is Arthur dream of him?
Seeing that he was really asking, he weakly smiled.
"No, I'm just your imagination and now go back to sle— Ack!"
Caspian hand was tug forward, the sudden movement made him not think fast as his body fell down on top of the older male's, but his right arm supporting his body while the left arm of his was grab by Arthur's right arm.
His eyes meeting the very deep gold eyes that stared at him passionately, the same eyes that stared at him before he disa—
What the hell was that?
"I don't mind you being on top of me."
And now he's back, great.
"It's your fault for pulling me like that."
Arthur gave him a smirked, before letting of of Caspian wrist and he stand up, rolling his eyes and going back to his place;the bed.
"Did you wait for me to wake up?"
"No, I just got her—"
"Did you know I was awake the whole time earlier?"
Caspian snap his head towards Arthur, who smiling sheepily.His eye twitching as the shade of red flowed to his face, does that mean he saw what he did?!
Arthur smiled, reaching towards to grab Caspian hand and place it on his cheek, feeling the warm hand of his soon to be wife.
He was telling the truth that he was actually awake the whole time, he also did the hugging thing on purpose but he was suprised that Caspian didn't removed his arm from him and just stayed there, melting his heart.
"Are you really serious?"
"Deadly serious!"
Arthur went back from lying down the bed, still holding Caspian hand on his cheek.
He was glad that Caspian is here right now, he was pretty mad at himself when he fell asleep at the party and find out that he is back from his own room at the place he was first stayed for the event.
Misisng the chance to dance!But he was quiet mad like how come Ariuk came down just to asked Caspian to come with him at his daily stroll routine.
Who the hell walked down at night and especially when's he's holding a party!
Caspian noticed how Arthur went quiet, Caspian took a quick look at Arthur and saw that he was pouting?Okay,hold up what the hell is Arthur thinking?
Finally, Arthur mumbled something that Caspian heard clearly as he is practically shoulder to shoulder with Arthur.
"Did you dance with...A-ariuk?"
Caspian suddenly laughed, his voice echoing inside the room.Arthur felt like he wanted to dig down and bury himself from the embarassing his receiving right now.
It's all his Mother fault! he bet that She is just lyi—
"No, I won't dance with anybody unless it was you."
