Chapter 1
Stephano POV

Stephano's Feelings

I woke up today ready for an adventure, until I realized it was a weekend. Normally Pewds would give us a weekend or a few weekdays off. Today was one of those off days so he wouldn't be playing.
I sighed. Ok, don't get me wrong. I love free time but lately all I can think about during my free time is one person. Now this person and I have always gotten along, we've been best friends but lately I've been thinking of him as more.
Jennifer had pointed it out to me. She and I had been drinking tea together and talking about the fans. She was a bit of a Yaoi girl and had read some of the fanfics. I usually avoided them, I mean some of those stories about me and Pewds were scary.
Anyway, she mentioned that it was sad how all the couples who'd never hook up were paired together instead of people who'd actually date each other, like me and Mr. Chair. I'll admit, I choked on my tea.
I asked what the heck she meant and she pointed out that I hung out with Mr. Chair almost all the time. Also, I tend to be protective of him, I get way more upset over Piggeh groping Mr. Chair than I do anyone (including myself), and that I'm always anxious when Pewds sacrifices him.
Then she said something that made my heart stop before beating faster than a hummingbirds. She leaned in and whispered,
"I'm not supposed to tell you this but, he told me he loves you."
So now all I could think about was that. Whenever he was around me I stared at him trying to figure out if I liked-ok I knew I liked him. The question was did I love him?
I was so lost in thought that I hadn't noticed I'd reached the stairway and fell down the stairs. I landed at the bottom with my left arm tucked under me at a weird angle.
CRAP! I broke my freaking arm, my sword arm too! Muttering curses in French I attempted to get up.
"Are you ok?" I froze. Slowly I looked up and met a pair of sparkling green eyes that had been haunting my thoughts.
Mr. Chair knelt next to me and gently touched my arm. I looked away to hide both the blush and the pain on my face.
"It looks like you broke it. Here let me help you," he smiled and grabbed my other arm hauling me to my feet.
"We should go back to your room so I can put it in a sling. Besides, you're going to have to take it easy til it heals." I nodded and bengan walking up the stairs. He stayed close to my side so I didn't slip again. Walking upstairs jolted my arm around and even though I did my best to hide it a small whimper of pain escaped my mouth. Mr. Chair was worried, I could tell.
He carefully stepped closer, close enough I could feel his body heat. He opened the door to my room and went to his to get some bandages. I swallowed nervously, this is exactly what I was afraid of. He came back in and sat next to me.
He gently grabbed my arm rolled my sleeve up. Once my arm was exposed he ran nimble fingers along it feeling for the break. I felt myself blush bronze and prayed he wouldn't notice. He found it and grumbled something. He looked up at me and smiled softly.
"I'm going to move it now, ok?" I nodded and braced myself. He slowly shifted my arm into place. I bit my lip to keep from making noise and cursed myself when I felt tears stinging my eyes. My lip trembled slightly, but I guess I was shaking all over.
Whatever happened Mr. Chair noticed.
"Sorry, I know it hurts. I'm almost done," he soothed. It actually helped. His voice was always soft and quiet but now it was different. I held a notes of worry, gentleness, sympathy, and surety. He felt bad about my pain and was worried about me but he was sure I would be fine, which helped a lot. I relaxed and watched as he put splints on my arm to hold it in place and wrap it.
"There. Better?" I nodded. He looked up and our eyes met. I felt time slow to a stop around us. Mr. Chair must've felt the same because he just kept staring at me.
A small blush colored his cheeks and he looked down at his lap.
Mon Dieu, he's so cute! I shook my head, what was I thinking. Maybe I needed to stop thinking and...wait what?
Without realizing it I had leaned forward, just inches from him. I blushed again but quickly decided it was best to just stop thinking. I gently reached out with my other arm and cupped his chin, forcing him to meet my eyes again. He blushed scarlet at our position but didn't fight it.
I felt my eyes flutter shut and my lips part. Mr. Chair allowed himself the briefest of smiles before doing the same. Before our lips could meet though the door to my room broke open. We jumped apart as the dust settled the bro stormed in and grabbed Mr. Chair by the sweater, dragging him out.
"Stephano!" I tried to grab my sword but the pain in my arm made me dizzy. After he was gone Skully and the others rushed in.
"They took Mr. Chair!"
