DISCLAIMER: This plot is mine, though the characters are not.
A/N: I have nicknamed this story 'My brief fit with romance.' Trust me, this kind of thing will not happen again. However, this story will leave you dreaming. Guarantee.
Pairing: Isaac x Felix
OOOOOOOOOO
Brush your lips against his skin. Don't you want to know if he blushes in his sleep? There slowly now. His breath and body shudders and that very sound sent thrills down your spine. There, now. Don't speak. You don't want to wake him up now, do we?
See now, his breathing's even now. Make sure you do this quietly. The others must not know. They will not know. Staring at him again? You seem to be doing that a lot lately. I can understand. He has the kind of aura around him that needs, no craves, the attention. I don't think he notices it, and if he did, he has never done anything about it. It calls you and you are helpless to its cry.
There, easy now. It doesn't take much effort, but you mustn't wake him up. That would be tragic, yes it would. Everything you've worked for, everything you've strived for, will pale and crumble the minute he opens his eyes.
Yes, I know your reasons. I understand them all too clearly for it is something I would have done in your place. He must know, he will not know about you. It will hurt, there will be pain, lots of pain. You're used to pain, but should he be the cause of your pain, then it will know no bounds.
His eyes are fluttering and he shifts in his sleep uncomfortably. Look what you've done! You've delayed and because of you he's suffering! No, don't cringe. It's true. But if you tried to be more open with him, he might accept you. You must try.
You're worried. I can see your face. Stop that! You're not a coward, so don't act like one. Just finish up here and no one needs to know about this. Trust me, when he wakes up, he will never know you were there. He will think about other things and you will be forgotten.
What? That's not what you want? What do you want? Why haven't you told him? I don't understand you. Just hurry up and do it. Tell him another time. Now you must go. You have tarried here too long and Saturos is waiting for you.
Jenna? What about her? Oh, you're worried for her. Then why are you still here? If you're worried about your sister, why are you by another man's bedside? You heard he was sick and didn't have the strength to heal himself. So? You've healed him. That's over and done with.
So why are we still here? He's tossing again. I think he's saying someone's name. It sounds like 'dad and…yes, he has said your name as well. I told you to seize the chance. Now, it's too late. Saturos is calling and we have tarried here for too long. Wait! His eyes are opening. I will move away.
His eyes slowly opened and he breathed out, "….Felix…?"
"Ssshhhhh……" Felix pressed his finger onto Isaac's lips, "Sleep. You need rest. The fever nearly killed you."
Isaac's eyes rose up and he briefly struggled to protest, but Felix's arms pushed him down and the wolves of sleep dragged him away.
Felix looked at him, an unknown feeling rushing through his head. Alex peeped in, "Did you do it?"
"In a minute," Felix quietly tucked Isaac into his bed covers, "Sweet dreams Isaac."
Alex shook his head, "All this way for that." With that they fled from Vale, leaving behind scarlet memories.
