After my Dad and I got our breakfast together he drops me on our floor.
"I'll bring you to him." He teased.
I frowned.
"Stop it."
Dad tickled my ear. I immediately dodge another tickle that made him laugh.
"Alright, go to your room and rest. Sure that mommy will visit you." Daddy said. I nodded and gave him a nod.
I lay on my bed after father sends me back. I sighed and rolled but it's a wrong move. I'm tangled with the dextrose. I couldn't move. If I'll move, sure I'll have a wound.
I reached the emergency button with my feet. I successfully pressed it and a minute didn't even passed when my door opened and cause a loud noise.
My lips drop low after seeing my Doctors along with my Nurses. They all look like a soldier ready for a fight.
"I'll ask for help to untangle me." I said and pursed my lips. "Why are you all here? I'm in a good shape, you don't need to worry." I smiled as I assured them.
They all have unbearable expression. Maybe, they're all worried about me. I always press the emergency button whenever I felt that I couldn't breath, I couldn't expect that pressing the emergency button can cause a messy understanding.
"You sure you're okay?" Doctor Seb asked. Mu Nurse walked towards me.
I nodded. "I'm sorry for bothering. It's just... I can't move. I'm tangled in here." I gave them an apologetic smile.
"It's unusual for you to use the emergency button. You always use that whenever you feel bad. Are you sure you're okay?" Doctor Faith asked. All of them nodded in agreement, even my Dad. Mom is not here, I think, she's still busy with her rounds.
"I'm really okay." I replied after they helped me get out from the tangled strings. "I'm sorry for worrying all of you."
"It's okay. Good thing, you know how to press a button in a not worrying situation." Doctor Marco joked. They all chuckled and nodded.
I laughed even though they're corny. Is this how Doctors joke? I think, they don't have a humor from studying too much, well, don't judge me but that's how I think towards my doctors.
I thought they'll buy my words that I'm okay but they didn't. Doctor Seb and Doctor Faith even checked me. And after they all sured that I'm okay, they all went out.
I'm left alone again so I stood up. I dragged my dextrose and went to my desk to write.
I'm fucked up, I didn't write anything, I just doodled for three pages. I'm too bored and left with nothing even a phone just to ease my boredom.
I can't handle my boredom, I stood up again and walked back and fourth on my room while dragging my dextrose. I don't even feel anything rather than boredom.
I think I'm going to die from this boredom, someone save me!
I almost shout that thing on my window but I hesitated after seeing two birds having their date on my window.
I stared at them from a far...I mean, from the door of my bathroom. I crossed my arms and tilted my head.
Well, I think, I'm jealous. How I wish I can date someone like for a minute will do. Or if not, How I wish someone will enter my life and be friends with me...but I just want Kaios to be my friend.
I keep staring at the two birds when I realized that I just think about Kaios.
Honestly, I don't even know why the hell I'm too desperate to make him mu friend even though his attitude is not clearer than the Pasig River. Well, I think, he caught my attention. Not in a romantic way but in a....
Wait? How can I call that he caught my attention not in a romantic way?
Maybe, he caught my attention because he's a fish and he eat the fish I put in the hook?
Geez! I'm getting crazy!
I shook my head countless time in order for me to forget about him but here am I, standing in front of his door. Without even realizing that after I shook my head countless times, my feet brings me here like they own my mind that they know what I'm thinking.
I shrugged.
I opened the door and entered without even hesitating. I saw him on the same position I've seen him in the first time I came here.
I closed the door and entered fully.
"Hi."
He looked at the side where I was standing that made me clap my hands. it's the first time that he find where I was.
"Wow! You're leveling up like a pokemon!" I said enthusiastically and let my body meet the comfy sofa. "How come can you find me?"
"Well, you always looked at the window whenever you heard me."
"And that because I don't want you here." He responded.
I chuckled. "So now you want me here because you shift your head for where I was standing, huh?"
"Curse you." He said and shook his head. "Don't be assuming. I just know where I can sense a dwarf." He smirked teasingly and this is the first time I've seen him smirking like a devil.
I rolled my eyes. "Just admit it, You want me here. Come on, don't be ashamed." I smiled.
"I rather be ashamed than say a plastic words that I want you here." He said.
"Whatever you say, old grumpy dragon."
"Shut your mouth, chicken."
I stand up and dragged my dextrose towards the window.
"You know what, your room looks so dark." I said and open the curtains. "Tell me, are you trying to change satan from his sit?"
"Yeah, then I'll make you the slave who will clean the dirty bathroom." He said.
"Well, you can even make me your queen. I'll come over whenever you are." I said out of nowhere.
I froze on my place after I realized what did I just said. How stupid of me! How come I want to come whenever he is? Oh my God! I should stop reading romance book cause in the first place, it won't happen to me... those cheesy stuffs?! Iw! Never!
"Stupid, I don't wanna stuck with you." He said that made me move again.
"I didn't ask." I replied and gulped.
I make myself comfortable from laying on the sofa and staring at him from his bed. He looks so tired and frustrated. Under his eyes looks like he's gotten into Insomnia, his eyebags almost covered his eyes, it almost look like carrying a pillow.
"Do you sleep fine?" I asked him. I'm kinda worried and curious about him.
He didn't respond.
"I guess not. Your eyebags are too big that almost cover your eyes. You look so pale too." I said to him
He didn't respond again..
"You're too bored to be with." I said to him. He didn't even respond for the second time, I think he treats me like a chicken stormed out by a wind.
"Good thing you've realized. Go out if you're bored with me, I'll be happy." A smirk appeared on his lips again.
I frowned but then, evil smiled came across my lips. "Not gonna happen."
"Tsk," he hissed. "This kid."
I rolled my eyes.
When do he stop calling me a kid? I'll be eighteen soon. It's kinda irritating. Do I look like a kid? for everyones information my height is 5'5, so barely, I'm not a kid. It's just my voice and face that made me look like a kid.
I can't let myself being silent for too long.
"You know what, I wonder if..." I paused after I saw him trying to get something on his table.
I think he's thirsty. He's grabbing a straw but he can't reach. With the dextrose I dragged, I went to his table. I grab the straw and held his hand.
He's startled after what I just did. Maybe he never saw me coming to help him.
"Here, just be careful." I told him. He nodded and didn't say anything.
"Do you even feel a little bit of boredom?" I asked him.
"I literally nearing to die because of that." He replied simply and wiped the side of his lips.
"Be friends with me, you will not die from boredom." I said. I almost look like a businesswoman negotiating with a businessman who's hesitant to collab a bussiness.
"Not gonna happen." He replied.
I sneered.
"As I was talking about-"
"I don't care."
"Whatever you say, I'll still talk and talk." I said to him.
"I wonder if us, the people of this country will shout our lungs out... would they here us? I mean, would other country hear all of us shouting?" I asked him out of blue. I'm just curious, I wonder what would they react if they're going to hear us.
He choke on his drink.
"Oh my God!" I got up from the sofa out of shock. "Idiot! What happened to you?!"
He burst into laughters.
My eyes fixed on him. This is the first time I saw him cracked a laugh and I never thought that this will be the most satisfying thing I never expected that I wanted to see even more.
And to my surprise, everything went slower. The echo of my beating heart crawled upon my ear and that's the thing I wonder why am I hearing that so loud.
"You're really a kid." He chuckled.
With a one rapid blinking everything went back to normal. I held my chest and let myself fall on the sofa.
Out of disbelief, my father's word flashed through my mind, it gives me goosebumps because a thought that liking him will never be true.
I took a deep breath and let myself lay comfortably again. I rejected what I felt the time I stared at him cause first of all, he's not the man I want, besides, liking him is not on my vocabulary.
"You became silent huh? Are you preparing to gather all the people here and make them shout for them to be heard from the other country?"
I looked at him again. He got that boastful smirk but a teasing can't be slipped by my hawk eyes.
"I didn't think of those, idiot!" I affirmed.
He smirked and didn't open his mouth again.
Now, I'm bothered about how can I know him better.
Maybe, I need to open a topic, but, I know he won't respond cause he's a bored old grumpy dragon but I guess it's not bad to try.
"So, how old are you?" I asked him.
"Not old enough to pamper you." He replied. I rolled my eyes.
"I won't let you pamper me, because first of all I'm not your daughter."
"Whatever."
"Answer my questions therefore boredom would spare us." I told him but he didn't give me a single word. Even a little nod he didn't give me.
"What's your favorite part of today?" I asked him and bite my nails out of boredom.
"The part that you're not here." He replied. I frowned but at least he respond.
"If you could be invisible for today, what will you do?" I asked him again. "Let's add that you can see."
"Put a tape on your mouth..Oh nope, in your body and throw you out therefore you won't bother me." He even wiggle his eyebrows. Sure it was thick and clean.
I rolled my eyes. "How about, what qualities you want to have for a friend?" I said. I just wanna know therefore I'll have that qualities then I'm friends with him.
"Anything but not you." He replied and moved his eyebrows up and down once.
I sulked. "You're not just a bored grumpy old dragon, you had an attitude." I said to him.
"Well, you never know kid."
"What is the funniest joke to you?" I yawned. I'm getting sleepy, I guess talking without getting a good answer can make me doze off to sleep.
"You." He replied.
"What?!"
"You, asking me for friendship." He said and yawned. It's 8 in the morning but this is the time that can give you warm to put you into sleep.
I sneered. "How come that was a joke?! I'm serious about it!" I affirmed.
I don't know how his brain works. Do I look like I'm a comedian to joke around like that? I don't even know some joke cause in the first place, I don't even have a humor to throw some jokes but I can laugh for a joke, that's what I can offer.
"Yeah."
"What?!" I hissed out of disbelief. "How can you say that? I'm genuine when I asked you about it!"
"I don't feel it." He shrugged.
"What do you want me to do? Do a backflip for you to believe that I'm genuine for asking you?!"
He's getting on my nerves. Do I need to put a luxurious party for him to know that I'm genuinely interested to be friends with him?
He sneered. "It's kinda suspicious for you. Don't get me wrong, it's creepy for someone to ask me to be their friend when I couldn't see anything."
"I'll ask you again if you have your eyes." I replied. but for now, I'll gain his trust therefore, once his eyes are back, it's easy for him to accept me as his friend.
He shrugged. "I'm contended with my friends."
"Then, why they're not visiting you?"
"They have their own life, they don't need to come here." He responded but he sounded so simply like he wanted it to speak casual but it's kinda hard for him to explain. "Just don't ask about those."
I nodded even though he can't see it.
"I'm sleepy." I groaned. "I'll sleep here, can't go back to my room." my voice become hoarse, I'm reallu sleepy and If i push myself to go back I feel like I'm going to fall on the floor and lay there without thinking.
"Do you want a pillow?" He still habe concerns huh? It's good to hear him asking me.
"I'm good." I replied with a single eye open.
I'm stunt after a pillow was thrown on my face. I don't know how he did but he's good at throwing huh?
"Thanks."
"Make yourself comfortable, kid."
