Chapter 16
Rune was going to sit by Crawford, but Rath pulled out a chair just one away and smiled invitingly, "Here you are Rune." The elf smiled, how could he refuse that invitation.
Thatz was already in a chair in the middle of the table, and had somehow acquired a plate full of waffles swimming in butter and peach syrup and a tankard of milk.
The water knight on the other hand kept his hands in his lap as he looked at the table's contents. As the last of the covers where removed there were several breakfast meats, many types of syrups to go with pancakes and waffles, a pile of fruit and pitchers of milk and juice. "Crawford-san you didn't need to go to all this trouble," Rune said.
"No trouble at all," their host waved it off, "Eat up there is plenty."
The elf noticed that Rath wasn't reaching for anything and made up a small plate for him incase Thatz did eat it all. So with the happy humming of his red haired love on one side Rune listened to his other love talk to their host.
"So 'Crawford' what is happening today?" Rath asked almost venomously.
The taller man didn't seem to notice, "After were finished here I need a few samples and then and endurance test," he sipped his juice, "Just jogging on a device I made and Lunch them I have to study the results while you three will most likely sleeping."
Rune swallowed the grape he had been chewing, dabbed his chin and asked, "Three? But I thought Rath was fine." He looked to his hope to be life mate, "Are you okay?"
"He is fine Rune, but I have never worked on Dragon Knight before and so I need to know what is a healthy normal," the healer explained.
The elf nodded sliding the made up plate in Rath's line of sight as he glared at the tabletop. The duel haired boy blinked and looked over at Rune. He was probably going to object but when he opened his mouth Rune replaced his words with a piece of pair. "Eat," he said simply. Rath sighed, but followed the instructions. Honestly the boy neglected himself far too much.
~~ In the lab ~~
The tests Thatz had only marginally heard about where not as bad as he thought so far. A hair clipping, a scrape of skin from his foot, but when the feather haired man brought out a needle the ex-thief paled.
"Now I just need a little blood and we'll be done," Crawford said cheerily brandishing the syringe.
"No way!" Thatz said climbing up on the back of the chair he had been in. Luckily it was bolted to the floor so it didn't tip.
"Come now Thatz-san," the taller man said reasonably, "I need a blood sample to help me find the source of the problem."
Like a cat he sprang and leapt onto the back of Rath's chair. It wobbled dangerously but held. "Not with that thing. It's the size of a troll arrow it'll cut my arm off," the red head said with conviction, "use a knife of something."
"The blood needs to be clean you big baby," Rath finally spoke prying the frightened young man off the back to the chair and setting him down in his lap. Thatz was burning red in embarrassment and hid his face in Rath's shirt. Rath patted his head soothingly as he whispers in the other's ear, "I promise it will only hurt a little and it will all be over. Just a little prick. Here let me help you."
The warm shivers the fire knight's breath caused made what ever was going to happen worth it. The darker haired knight snaked his arm over the back of the other's same. In a slow constant motion he intertwines their fingers and pulls Thatz's arm back and turning it to expose the inner elbow. The earth knight tightened the rest of his body clamping his eyes shut. Expecting lancing pain at any moment he was unprepared for the hum. Rath was humming almost too faint to hear, but with Thatz's ear pressed up against his neck he felt it more than heard it. It was wonderful, indescribable and over to soon. He nearly whimpered when it was over, oh and the whole needle thing was over too. The red head realized holding a bandage to his arm mechanically.
The rest of the tests passed like a dream for the earth knight who wanted nothing more than to be held and hear that humming again. Could Rune hum?
Rath was near the end of his rope by lunch. He had to act like the good little patient and friend to the psychotic alchemist so that Rune and Thatz would not be tipped off. The alchemist never board himself by using the same trick twice. Particularly if it failed, so food and drink was about as safe as it was going to be in this place.
Now thankfully they were going to be left to their own devices so instead of a group meal the fire knight had it brought to their room. The dark haired young men swore if he saw that smirking know-it-all face in the next few hours he would have no control and strangle the man to death. Plus he could finally have that talk with Rune that he had promised Fire.
Rune sighed in relief when he was finally able to settle back into the nest Thatz and himself had built. The red head sat beside him just as tired and they smiled to each other as Rath and one of the servants set trays of food and drink beside them. "Thank you," Rune said as the matronly servant was leaving. She didn't even blink in response as she left. The elf frowned. That had been the forth person that had acted that way. But before his thoughts could continue to far the sent of a freshly pealed orange caught his stomach's attention.
A bit of rose touched his cheeks at Thatz's laugh. The ex-thief held up a slice of orange, "Would you like some of my fruit little elf?" he purred.
Indeed the bowl of fruits was behind the other and Thatz sat back enjoying his position of power. He knew well that at least half of an elf's diet came fresh from green and growing things, and that Rune had a weakness for citrus. Normally the water knight would have been a little frustrated at the other's playful smirk. But thankfully things change and Thatz's own words were proof of that. Rune had never had 'my' 'mine' of any of that used in reference to him like this. And he liked it. Shifting to stretch out beside the earth knight the elf said, "Yes please," as if he was discussing the weather.
From a laying position the red head pounced him and was tickled to the point of breathlessness. As the last giggles subsided Rune found himself laying back on Thatz's chest and a piece of orange pressed to his lips. He could defiantly eat like this. Taking the piece his tongue flicked out to taste the fingers it came from. Mmmming happily Rune took the next piece with his own fingers and offered it to Rath who still had not come into the nest for some reason.
"Orange Rath?" Rune was careful in his choice of words. The third had not quite opened up to the possible relationship.
Shaking himself out of what ever spell the fire knight had fallen into his face set into a serious cast. "Rune I need to ask you something."
"Sure," Rune said forgetting the fruit and sitting up. The red-eyed youth looked uncertain for a moment and he added, "You can ask me anything. You know that right?"
Taking a deep breath Rath looked at his feet at began, "Kar.. Crawford told me what is wrong and what he thinks the cure is."
"What is it?" Thatz said sitting up also, obviously eager to be well and out of here.
"I'd rather not say," the fire knight mumbled turning red. Shaking his head he added with more confidence, "I'm not sure it's the only cure any way."
"Well," Rune said hesitantly, "Perhaps if you tell us his findings, we might be able to come up with alternatives." Like a flipping a switch Rath was eager and nodding. "But we need all the information you have okay?" he cautioned.
The dark haired one nodded more seriously and started again, "You know how races and even brothers may have different energy right? Well something happened and an incompatible energy was put into your systems. I already have this type of energy," he paused looking uncertain again and blushing.
Rune wasn't quite sure where this was going so he opted for a safe question, "What type of energy is it?"
"I don't know. That's all he told me," Rath said a little to quickly and at a more sedate pace he added, "He said the best cure is to transfer the energy to me and you'll be safe."
"Well how do we do that?" Thatz asked and Rune understood 'the cure' Rath was told and his face went scarlet. Oh the possibilities. But Rath was obviously uncomfortable with it and with that came a hormone versus mind controversy. But the last thing Rune wanted was for Rath to come to them in some demented sense of self-sacrifice.
Clearing his throat the blond spoke from his own knowledge of life's energy. "It is a little difficult since the two of you do not meditate. But if we form a meditation ring and if Crawford-san's theory holds, we should be fine bye the end of the week."
"The end of the week?" the red head whined, "Isn't there a faster way?"
"No," Rune and Rath said at the same time.
Thatz held up his hands in surrender, "Okay okay, just asking. I don't want to be here longer than I have to."
"Well then we'll just have to start tonight, right Rune?" Rath said with his usual happy energy.
The water knight smiled, grateful to see that energy back, "Absolutely but first fill up, you two you might not have enough energy to eat later."
The remaining food was made short work of as Rune ran various group meditation techniques through his head.
