The sensation of sudden burst of fear sent chills to my spine as I stared at Elsword's eye reflecting the Velder War's bloody sky. His face was smiling with joy, however, sweat was trickling down my face.
"Are you okay? Why are you sleeping in your workplace, you should be at be-"
Elsword said with a worried voice as he slowly reached out for my forehead to see if I have a fever. To my own surprisement, I slapped his soft hand as it came near my face. I stared at Elsword's bewildered face.
"I… I'm sorry, Elsword. I didn't mean to. I just had a nightmare."
I reassured Elsword as I tried keep the calmness within my voice. Elsword laughed nervously as awkwardness was lingering in the air. I quickly tried to enhance the mood as I started a new conversation, "Where were you for the past month?"
Elsword calmly changed the expression as he playfully smirked at me, "Were you worried about me?"
I blushed at Elsword's slyness as I nodded with embarrassment. As he crossed his fingers behind his head, he turned his way towards the window as he felt the warmth of the sunrise.
"Sorry for bursting into your workplace early in the morning." Elsword paused for a second, but he continued on without hesitation. "But I've been away from the Kingdom for a month."
"For what?" I asked with curiosity.
"I..Um…" Elsword seemed to hesitate as I tilted my head in confusion. "As a knight, you kind of.. Inspect other areas of Velder." Elsword finished his sentence as he started to drift off at the end. I nodded my head as I figured out it's something that I shouldn't be involved in.
Elsword suddenly turned around while giving off a nervous smile as he held onto his right shoulder. I gave him a puzzled look; he was acting strange. I may be overreacting, or perhaps, mistaken, but Elsword wasn't acting like his usual self and that he is keeping a secret from me.
"Well- I'll visit you later, Teacher." Elsword said with a playful smile as he decided to leave the room as awkwardness was setting in the air. However, I wasn't the type to ignore strange behaviors, so I stopped him right in front of the door as I grabbed his shoulder for him to come to a halt.
To my surprise, he let out a painful sigh as he placed his hands on top of mine. I slowly released my hand from his shoulder- which seemed to cause a painful sensation to Elsword.
"Sorry- bye." Elsword said with a sigh of relief as I lifted up my hand from his shoulder.
"No. Wait." I said, this time grabbing the knight by his wrist. Elsword turned around to face me as his crimson eyes gave off a bewildered look.
Without any words, I took off the jacket Elsword was wearing and and I gaped in shock when I found a blood stain on his clean, white button up, located on his right shoulder. The stain was slowly spreading throughout his entire shoulder. Elsword silently cursed under his breath as I stared at him with slight anger filled in my eyes. "What happened?" To my surprisement, it almost felt as if I was his mother or a wife but I quickly brushed that thought away as the thought of Elsword's injury was more clear inside my mind.
"It's common for knights to get injured." Elsword said quietly with a sulky tone in his voice. I ignored his pouting as I said, "Sit down, you have to get treated."
"It's fine, it'll heal soon!" Elsword yelled out a cry as I forced him to sit him down on the chair I was sitting on. I ignored his childish whine and searched through my shelves to find the correct herbs to heal the wound. Soon enough, I digged up herbs to stop the bleeding and to heal the wound.
I turned around to face the knight and it seemed like he gave up trying to argue with me as he was unbuttoning his shirt. He loosely flung the right side of his button up to show me the wound for me to heal. I felt sudden burst of heat rising up to my cheeks as I glanced at Elsword's half-shirtless body. I was bewildered to see a boy-two years younger than me- have such toned arms and body along with wide shoulders; it seemed as if he was already a man. I glanced away and gulped the nervousness inside of me as I rubbed the herbs on top of his shoulder. He clinched his teeth and let out a silent grunt due to the painfulness the herbs give to a wound.
After treating the knight, I quickly grabbed bandages and stood in front of him. He glanced up at me and flung the other side of his button up shirt so I could secure the bandage across his chest. Elsword stared at me with a blank face but I could not stand his shirtless body. The heat I managed to swallow down suddenly bursted into my cheeks as I became super red. I quickly turned around to hide the embarrassment as I threw the bandage onto his lap, "You bandage it!"
I heard Elsword chuckle playfully as I heard bandages being opened. I placed my two hands on top of my cheeks that were on fire in hopes of calming them down, but the imagination of shirtless Elsword flung into my mind again- so it was no help.
"I'm done." I heard Elsword say blankly as I also heard him stand up from the chair. I turned around to see if he bandaged it well… However, that wasn't the case. Sweat was trickling down the side of my face as he decided to tease me by hugging me tightly. My mind was blank as the knight embraced me.
The hug did not last long- as soon as he released me from his embrace, he grabbed his button up shirt while petting my head as if I was his little sister, "Thanks, Aisha." He quickly buttoned up his shirt and grabbed his jacket and exited the room as if nothing happened.
I slumped down the chair and touched my cheeks. It was still burning hot.
