Chapter 3
In Blitz's apartment, Millie decides to check on Blitz to see how he's doing. Millie dips the cloth of water into the water, wrings it out, but makes sure it's damp. Then she places it on Blitz's head, who is actually up, well, barely up that is.
"You feeling okay, Blitz?" Millie asks.
Blitz slowly shakes his head, "No really. I feel like my head is going to explode."
"Don't worry Blitz, Moxxie will be back soon and can get you something to eat," Millie says.
"Yeah, but I don't know if I can eat anything," Blitz says, weakly.
"I know, but you need to eat something. You won't feel better if you don't eat," Millie says.
Blitz groans and says, "I know…"
Just then, the door opens and the door soon closes.
Then they hear Moxxie's voice, "Millie, I'm back."
"Moxxie's back," Millie happily says.
Then turns to Blitz, "Do you want anything to drink?"
Blitz slowly nods his head in reply.
"Okay. Now you rest and I'll be right back," Millie says, and leaves the room.
He walks to the kitchen to see Moxxie unloading the stuff out of the grocery bags.
"Hi Moxxie, how does the shopping go?" Millie asks.
"It went okay. Able to get the groceries and come back with no trouble," Moxxie says.
"That's good," Millie says.
Moxie gathers all the groceries out and says, "I'll start cooking some soup. Hopefully we can get Blitz to eat something."
Sure. I'm going to fix Blitz something to drink," Millie says, and begin to prepare something for Blitz to stomach until dinner is ready.
Loona, who is typing on her phone, looks to see the Imp couple cooking some dinner.
Loona then asks, "So, what are we going to have?"
"I can order us some pizza if you like," Millie happily says.
"Sure. Whatever," Loona says.
Suddenly, they hear a knock on the door. The three stop what they're doing and turn towards the door.
"Who would be coming here of all places?" Loona wonders.
Millie happily says, "I'll get it."
Milloe happily walks to the door and opens it. She is a little surprised to see who it is, but smiles with a grin.
"Hi Stolas!" Millie happily says.
"Hello. I hope you don't mind if I drop by," Stolas says, happily walking into the apartment.
"Sure. We don't mind at all," Millie happily says.
She walks into the kitchen and continues to boil some water in a small sauce pot. Then bring some tea bags and some honey to make Blitz some tea.
Loona rolls her eyes and mutters, "Should have known he was going to come, knowing how sick Blitz is. That perverted birdbrain plans to be with him no matter what.
Moxxie turns to see the owl demon, "I have to suspect you're here to see Blitz, your highness."
"Why of course I am. I thought I might give you some assistance to take care of him," Stolas says.
"Don't you have your own work to take care of?" Loona questions.
"Oh, some I'm able to do later. Besides, I won't be able to concentrate knowing my Blitzy is sick," Stolas says.
Loona rolls her eyes in reply, and holds a disgusted look on her face.
Stolas then asks, "Where is Blitzy right now?"
"He's in his room. I'm sure he'll like the company," Millie happily says.
Stolas nods his head and makes his way to Blitz's room.
In the bedroom, Blitz is sleeping with body laying on the side, or at least trying to. It's hard to sleep when he continues to cough, and it's hard for him to sleep. The covers are now covering the lower half of his body and the cloth on his head is sliding off his head. Stolas has already walked into the room and closed the door, and sees Blitz sleeping in his bed. The owl demon smiles and uses his magic to place his top hat and cloak on a chair close by. He then lays on the bed next to Blitz and tucks him in with the covers. Then removes the cloth and places it on a small furniture close by. Then he places his black claws on Blitz's cheek and softly strokes him.
Just then, Blitz groans and begins to slowly open his eyes, his vision is a bit blurry from sleeping for so long. Soon, it clears to see the familiar Goetia Prince.
"St-Stolas?" Blitz softly ssys, tired.
Stolas calmly smiles and says, "Hi Blitzy, how are you feeling?"
Blitzo groans sickly and covers his face with the covers, "Fuck, why are you here?"
"I was worried. Your college told me you were very sick so I've decided to help take care of you," Stolas says.
"Don't you have work and all that shit?" Blitz asks.
"Oh, I've already finished a few and the rest won't be done. Besides, I would be distracted worrying about you anyway," Stolas says.
"Gee thanks," Blitz says, tired.
Then Blitz begins coughing very badly, and says "Fuck. This is so stupid. I look like a total wreck and I feel like I'm going to explode at any minute."
"Oh Blitzy, you don't feel good at all," Stolas says, expressing his concern.
"Tell me something I don't know," Blitz softly complains and peaking his face out of the covers.
He sighs, "I really didn't want you to see me like this."
Stolas places his hand on Blitz's head and rubs the top of his head, "It's alright Blitzy. You just need to get some rest for a few days. And from the looks of it, it might need to be a week."
"I guess so," Blitz says, and begins to lift himself up.
Slowly, Blitz is able to get into a sitting position and is still feeling dizzy.
"I'll try to make it up to you somehow," Blitz says.
He becomes dizzy and falls to the side to collapse, but Stolas is able to catch Blitz and has him laying on him with his head on some of the feather on his chest. Stolas decides to wrap one arm around Blitz's shoulders and has his other claws under Blitz's chin and gently lifts Blitz's head up a bit.
"There there Blitzy, it's okay. You need to worry. You just get some rest," Stolas says.
"I… I guess so…" Blitz says, feeling a bit tired and still sick.
He then coughs a little and is starting to feel sleepy that he yawns and pats his mouth as doing so.
Stolas calmly smiles and asks, "Tired, my little Imp."
"I kind of am still, but try not to do any of your creepy bird needs, alright," Blitz says, tired.
"Wouldn't even think of it, Blitz," Stolas says.
He then has Blitz lay back down on his bed and tucks him in the covers. Blitz contin ues coughing and it's hard to stop.
"Urgh. I feel fuckin awful," Blitz says.
Stolas rubs Blitz's head and says, "I know, Blitz. I know."
Just then, the door opens, and Millie walks into the room, "Hey Blitz, soup and tea are ready."
"Thanks," Blitz says, tired and sick.
And begins to sit up, but this time, Stolas supports Blitz and helps him into a sitting position. Millie brings in the cup of tea while Moxxie walks in with a tray that has some soup in a bowl. It also has a spoon and fork on the tray.
"Hello sir, how are you feeling?" Moxxie asks.
"Still feeling like shit. Urgh," Blitz says.
"Well then I'm sure some hot soup and tea will make you feel all better," Millie happily says.
She then brings out a different bottle, "And we also got some medicine for you."
"Blech," Blitz replies, sticking his tongue out. "Do I really need to take that disgusting medicine.
"Only if you want to get better quickly, Blitzy," Stolas says.
Blitz groans in frustration, "Fine."
Moxxie then places the tray on the bed and Millie places the cup on the tray. Blitz still feels sickly and still grabs the spoon and tries to get a bite to eat. Blitz still feels dizzy, but is able to get something in his mouth. Stolas notices how tired and dizzy from the illness Blitz still has.
"Do you need help, Blitz?" Stolas asks.
"I… I can handle it…" Blitz denies, and tries his best to eat a few small spoons full.
Stolas respects Blitz's decision, but decides to watch over him in case he's having trouble.
Moxxie then says, "Well, we'll be in the living room if you need us."
"Yeah. I think Stolas can handle it. Call if you need us," Millie says.
Soon, the couple leaves the room and closes it. Blitz then continues to use the spoon to scoop up some of the soup, but starts to feel dizzy and supports his head with his other hand.
"Do you need help, Blitz? You look like you're going to collapse," Stolas asks.
Blitz sighs and says, "Fine, you can help. You'll end up bugging me about it later."
"Alright, but first. I think it's time you take your medicine," Stolas says, using his magic to lift the bottle.
"Urgh. Fine. I'll take the stupid medicine. Even though they taste disgusting," Blitz says.
Stolas simply smiled in reply. He then opens the bottle, pour some liquid medicine on to a spoon and feeds it to Blitz. Of course, Blitz shows a disgusted expression from the medicine. Then with Stolas' help, Blitz is able to eat a little more soup and drink some tea. Soon enough, Blitz falls asleep from the dinner he has.
Stolas tucks Blitz into his bed and kisses him on the forehead, "Goodnight, Blitzy. I'll come check on you tomorrow morning.
Stolas then leaves Blitz's room and closes the door gently. He then lets the others know he is leaving and says he'll come by tomorrow morning to check on him.
Later in the night, Blitz is still fast asleep and still sick from the flu and coughs a bit. As Blitz sleeps peacefully, a rattling sound appears in the room, and a dark silhouette of a figure wearing a kind of hat overshadows the sleeping Imp. The glowing eyes of bright yellow eyes with green rings on it. Then an evil smile of sharp teeth appears with one gold tooth, and is holding what looks like a large bag
"I kill you right here and now, but you'll be proven useful soon enough," The familiar voice says.
In a matter of seconds, the mysterious figure leaves Blitz room through the window with the large bag that is full.
In the bedroom, all that is there in Blitz's room is a note, and the sick Imp has disappeared.
