The Medical Mage
This chapter is going to be a good one. It really gets to the ScarLeo part of the story. ;) Enjoy.
As soon as they made it home it was 9:30 and they were exhausted from the rain. "Well here you are. Home sweet home." Leonard chanted. Scarlett wasn't sad anymore. She was glad Leonard had saved her and they'd formed a simple friendship. (For now)
"Well thank you Leonard." Scarlett said. "You can go home now." "Wait!" Leonard turned to her. "Not without a hug." Scarlett giggled and gave in. "Okay." Leonard hugged her tightly but gently. "Hold on." Leonard flinched. "Are you okay? You feel kind of warm." Scarlett touched her forehead. "Oh no. I've developed a fever. It must've been from the sudden temperature conversion." "Huh?" Leonard looked confused. "I was really cold before coming in here and now it's too much for my body to handle at once."
Leonard hadn't gotten sick in a few years. Ever since he started meditating he learned how to control his body temperature. "Really?" He asked. "Are you experiencing anything else like indigestion?" Scarlett raised an eyebrow with a confused frown. "No." "How about arrhythmia?" He questioned. "Well somewhat." She responded. "Headache?" He asked. "Yes." She said. "I understand. Dave gives me headaches to. How about-" She cut him off. "Okay Leonard I get the point." Scarlett stopped frowning and smiled shyly.
"One more thing? Are your muscles sore?" He asked. Scarlett blushed as she began to know that perhaps Leonard cared about her presence. "A little. Maybe I should call a doctor." She said while looking him in the eye. "No need. I'll be your doctor." Leonard said. "Are you sure?" Scarlett planned this. "Yes I am. I've learned many healing spells online and in fantasy games. Perhaps I could apply that here." Scarlett normally would just tell people like this that they're insane but she thought Leonard was so cute and didn't want this to end. "Okay it's settled." She said as she regained control of her blush. "Let's get started."
"Okay the first thing we do is make sure our patient is comfortable." He said. "I think I can do this part myself." Scarlett responded as she took off her shirt leaving her in her red C-cup sized bra and got into her bed. "You can start from here." She said to him. "Okay first we feel their pulse." Leonard says. Scarlett winked and said. "I've got a stethoscope if you want to-" Leonard interrupts. "An arch mage didn't have medical tools in their world." He says as he places his hand on her chest feeling her heartbeat. "Hm." He thought. Scarlett's heart was beating pretty fast now that Leonard could feel it. "Well your pulse is above average. That's for sure." Scarlett giggled silently. "I'll be right back." He said before leaving the room. "Try not to take too long!" Scarlett yelled to him. "Because this is much better than a real exam."
A few minutes later he came back upstairs. "I was washing and drying my hands." He said. "For what?" Scarlett asked. "I'm going to massage you. You see in the game whenever we have exhausted warriors we help them regain feel in their muscles." "Whatever you say." She says. "Good. Now where would you like it first?" Scarlett had plenty of things in mind but she couldn't quite bring herself to saying them. "My shoulders please." "As you wish." Leonard said as he started to squeeze her shoulders and rub them around in circles. "Does that feel good?" Scarlett sighed softly. "Yes even better than a vibrator." After a minute Leonard moved his way down until he'd covered her entire body. (He never touched her in any private parts however) "Okay let's see the result." He puts his hand on Scarlett's forehead one more time. "How is it doctor?" Scarlett asked sweetly. Leonard had a stern frown on his face. "Unbelievable. Even in relaxation you're still feverish. That's enough I'm getting my secret weapon!" Leonard says before leaving the room.
Scarlett frowned sadly. *Maybe my flirting isn't enough for him. Or maybe he isn't crushing on me. Or am I just not a cute as I thought I was to him? * For whatever reason she was about ready to give up on him before he comes back. "Okay I've got it." Leonard came in with a glass of blended fruits. "Is that a smoothie?" Scarlett asked him. Leonard smiled and said, "I call it my marvelous mix. It contains many types of fruit. Try it." He handed her the glass. "Okay." She drinks the juice, which has a surprisingly good taste. "Wow! This tastes so good!" She takes another sip. "It has Granny Smith apple, banana, grapes, kiwi, and Citron." He says with grace. "Citron?" Scarlett chuckled. "A fancy word for orange. It contains citrus, a powerful nature source for curing headaches and maintaining body temperature." Scarlett laughed. "Your laugh is cute by the way." Leonard whispered. Scarlett blushed and after a couple of minutes she finished her drink. "That was amazing." She said. "I'm glad you think so." He said as he pulls out a flute from his pocket. "Want to hear a tune?" He asked. Scarlett was nearly too relaxed to speak. She only nodded. And made one more flirtatious attempt to gain Leonard. She removed her glasses and hair scrunch revealing her long red hair that formed the way she did when she revealed her plan on TD. For about three minutes Leonard played a melody from his flute and Scarlett shut her eyes and fell asleep. "Okay it looks like I've succeeded again." He takes a look at Scarlett while she's asleep and couldn't really help himself. *She's adorable. That hair alone is freaking hot! But her new personality and bright eyes are unbelievable. * He thought. He slowly approached her and kissed her on the cheek. Scarlett slowly opened an eye and said it. "I love you Leonard." Leonard blushes very deeply after he heard this. "I…" He was nervous to say it. "I… I love you to Scarlett." He whispered in her ear before she grabbed him and pulled him into her bed. "Will you please stay with me for tonight?" She asked him. "I will." Leonard said as he hugged Scarlett and they fell asleep in her bed.
Things are really coming together now. It's been fun just writing this story so far. Another chapter is out.
