Kaden blinks for a straight minute before giving an intense look of 'Duh???'.. "I do know that.. Is what you said.. Is that not fine?.."Kaden replied his demeanor was much more bold as he rubbed his cheek against my hand.
But then his mouth downturned into a childish pout, "Do you not like it?.."Kaden then once again responded with a childish pout, as my cold hands were occupying his warm cheek.
The puppy dog eyes the main character gave.. Seemed to make my decisions much harder.
"I don't.. Well, I'm having mixed feelings.."I answered bluntly as I grazed Kaden's soft and fair cheek against my hand, as Kaden's puppy dog eyes and childish pout continued..
Normally the Kaden Alleops I knew would never do this, but I'm not complaining much either.
Then, I heard a slight creak.. As my eyes darted to the doors, seeing Rin, he looked more.. How can I say this? He looked more healthy, full and less well malnourished.
But his black hair was still a mess, his blue eyes had a little hope in them.. As Valerie crept behind Rin.. at the sight of Valerie my hands immediately left Kaden's cheeks.
"Oh.. what are you two doing?.."I asked as my voice was straight and blunt as always.. But had a hint of anxious anxiety in them, that I swear Kaden already snuff my hesitation out.
As Valerie furrowed her eyebrows a bit suspicious at my reaction, "Rin wanted to see you… so I fed him a bit and brought him here.."Valerie answered as she looked over to the two.. Noticing the intense tension between them right away.
"He did?... I mean.. I just slept, it was nothing alarming.."I replied composed and a bit confused, as Kaden laid a hand on my shoulder, "You've been asleep for days.."Kaden said making his point clear.
Wait what.
Days?
As my eyes widened a bit, I stayed pretty much calm and composed, "Days?.. Was I breathing in my sleep?.. Did I say anything alarming?.."I asked as my eyes furrowed, there were only a few cases in the novel where a character would go to sleep for a few days and.. Experienced something abnormal to be happening.
"You said something concerning a prophet, but I only came in the morning in the middle of you 'sleep talking'.."Kaden confirmed my suspicions, prophet? Ah.
There was indeed a character previously in the novel, called the 'blood prophet'.. But. that title belonged to another female.
This.. regression is completely new.
"I see.. Rin, would you mind keeping me company at night?.."Aero asked as he pulled Rin from his spot, but Aero must've said something wrong since even Aero started to look at him as if they were shocked..
A blush raised from Rin as his speech was now a bit fumbled.. "W-wait what?..."RIn said flustered, as I raised a brow.. Did I really say something that was alarming?...
"Aero- Rin is too young for that!"Valerie jumped in as her face was also a bit flustered. I looked over to the three, confused and puzzled.. Then it hit me.
Oh.
No.
"Wait.. you think i'm taking Rin to my chamber?.."I asked with a great amount of displeasure of the idea, as I lost grip of RIn and let him go.
Kaden's expression which was once darkened now lightens up only a bit from the misunderstanding being cleared up as Valerie sighed in relief..
First of all.. RIn's 16 and underaged.. If not confirmed yet, I'm 18, and just your typical college student trying to live by.. Well. Used to be.
Second of all, why would I be doing THAT.. during this apocalypse.. Besides, I'm as straight as a ruler.
I think.
"Well then what do you suggest Rin does at night for you?.."Kaden asks as he pulls me close to him so suddenly, with an ample amount of strength..
His arm rested against my shoulder, "Just, to wake me up if I'd said anything like a prophet.."I replied quickly elaborating on what I said beforehand.
Clearing up the misunderstanding of course.
"Then why can't I do it?"Kaden asked abruptly, as his grip tightened a bit on him, his eyes furrowed down as I thought for a bit..
"Well I guess that would do.. Valerie, do we have any more room in the bunker for Rin?.."I asked as my gaze flipped to Valerie much to Kaden's annoyance at the attention Aero lost on him.
"I'm afraid not, but.. Kaden does have his own room in the bunker.. So i don't know why he's here.."Valerie pointed out as Kaden looked away from me when he was clearly caught red handed, as he pretended to be unaware i just sighed briefly.
"I could just give my room to Rin.."Kaden remarks with 'puppy' dog eyes, as if he really did want to spend the night in my room, I was about to sigh and give into Kaden's demand like a parent to a spoiled child.
"No!.. I want to room with Aero!.."Rin said with a childish pout as he hung onto my sleeves gripping into my clothes tightly, Rin and Kaden both made immediate eye contact, pretty much death stares seethed from the two.
As I just simply turned to Valerie, her hair was tied back in a rough brunette colored ponytail, she looked disheveled as her amber eyes clearly glowed tired. It seems like her patience was being tested.
"I'm rooming with Valerie for the night."I bluntly said as the response apparently surprised the two, it even surprised Valerie to hear my choice… well makes sense, why would i want to room with Kaden's main love interest?
But I perceive that out of the three here, Valerie is visibly most on guard even if that was the sacrifice of her sleep and the increase of stress. That is where being a female lead gets you.
