His cheek still stinging and red from the slap, Eragon threw himself onto the bed and started to bawl.
He vaguely registered a gentle presence enter the room and sit next to him gently stroking his hair the entire time.
As he fazed back to reality the blue eyed, back haired girl next to him pulled him into a suffocating hug and Eragon started to feel himself blub again. "Who did this to you Era? Cos whoever did is going to be needing A and E soon."
"Don't Saphira please. I'm ok, I guess I sort of had this coming to me after all..." he placated his lifelong friend through the tears.
"You didn't... Surely not even you can be that stupid?"
Eragon could only nod as the blush staining his cheeks told all.
"Eragon you asked out Arya again? After last time? When she told you explicitly what would happen to you if you ever asked her out again?"
The blush deepened "Umm... I'm sorry?"
Saphira smacked him in the arm and Eragon yelped, he could have sworn that she was supposed to be comforting not abusing him.
"Tell that to Arya tomorrow you dolt, otherwise I swear that I will give her free rein to torture you. "
Eragon audibly gulped, he'd know Saphira long enough to be sure that she would carry out her threat.
"Ok then, but you're my moral support"
"Deal!" she exclaimed before bouncing out of the room, "See you tomorrow!"
Eragon gulped again. What had he gotten himself in for?
