He heard someone vomiting in the Bathroom. It took him a minute to get downstairs through all the Pillows that still lay around, he was left a little screwed up. "Um, Are you okey?" he called as he switched the light on and made his way toward the bathroom, squinting at the light. Elizabeth just moaned before hurriedly leaning over the toilet bowl to dry-heave.
"I'll take that as a no," Kannon said, kneeling next to her so he could rub her back.
"I feel sick all of a sudden," she said, before she started vomiting again.
"Want me to bring you to a bed?" he asked, "Or do you need to throw up some more?"
"I don't think I have anything left in me to puke up," Elizabeth said.
"Ok, so let me help you," he took her arm and put it over his shoulders.
"You are a little heavy or am I imagining it?" he asked her, a smirk on his face.
"Y-You know this a little rude to ask a lady...?" she said, in a quiet tone.
He laughed slightly, "Let's get you to a Bed." Kannon wasn't really the strongest and not used to support someone like this. But he managed to bring her to a Bed in the Main room.
"You stay here, I'll get a thermometer and something for your nausea." Kannon said, thankful that no one else could see him like this.
"Thank you a lot, Kannon." she said softly, before she sneezed.
Kannon just waved a hand and went off to get everything. When he got back he placed everything on the small nightstand. "Open wide," he said, holding the themometer in his hand.
Elizabeth did as she was told and opened her mouth.
They waited as the thermometer did its job. Once it beeped, Kannon pulled it out of her mouth. "37 degrees," he said, reading the display.
"I-Is that bad?" she asked.
He shook his head, "No, you only have a light fever. Nothing you could die from. We need to be careful though, if it raises over 38 then it-" he stopped, he didn't want to make her scared.
"Want a cold washcloth for your forehead?" he asked her.
She spaced out a little, "Yes... Yes I want one." She answered after a few seconds.
Kannon hurried away to wet down a washcloth and snag a trashcan before she could puke on the floor. "Here." he draped the washcloth over her forehead before walking to the other side of the bed and sitting down on a chair. "You k-know what's weird?" she asked after she was done puking. "What?" Kannon asked her.
"It's the second time I am this sick. The first time was when i was eight..."
He leaned back, "And?"
"Nothing..." she said and put the trashcan down.
He sighed, "Fine then." He looked at her, "Are you coughing too?" he asked her.
"I don't think so..." she said, sneezing once more.
Her handed her a handkerchief, "Here." She took it and blew her nose. He throat and nose itched annoyingly, persisting in spite of any sneezing or throat-clearing. She shivered slightly.
"Do you want a Blanket?" he asked her. She nodded, "Yes."
He stood up and made his way upstairs. For whatever reason thought it was a good idea to store blankets in an emty room upstairs instead of downstairs.
He sighed loudly as he made his way to the small room.
Right when he wanted to open it, he got hit by a Pillow once again.
"Why is this always happening?" he mumbled.
He heard a giggle behind him and turned around. "What are you doing?" she asked him, walking towards him. He opened the door and grabbed a Blanket, he threw it her. "You carry it now. Come on." he motioned her to follow him downstairs.
She groaned, "Where are we going? Why do you need a Blanket?"
She followed him downstairs. "Elizabeth is sick, she's freezing." he said.
Elise hugged the Blanket, "I see."
"So come, we should give her this blanket." he told her, holding the door open for her.
"Thank you" she mumbled, throwing the Blanket over Elizabeth.
She fell asleep and was snoring softly.
"She's kinda like you," Elise giggles. "I wouldn't say that." he said, sitting down on his chair. She looked over at him, "Where is the Idiot? Wouldn't he be all over her?" she asked.
"I think he is sleeping." he answered. "It's nine already, he needs to wake up." she said, making her way toward the next room. She spotted the red haired man on the Sofa and immediatly ran over to him. "Wake up sleepyhead!" she said as she jumped onto him.
It felt like all the air in his lungs was pressed out at once, he sat up as if he had been electro shocked. "What?!" he yelled. "Be quiet, Idiot. Lady Elizabeth is sick..." she couldn't even finish, he pushed her off the sofa and ran to where his Lady was. "The fuck man...?" she mumbled.
Because he knew that his beloved Lady was sleeping he carefully opened the door and walked towards her bed. He looked at her sleeping face, his heart skipped a beat.
"Is she ok?" he asked, taking her hand.
"Yeah, nothing serious-" before he could even finish his sentence, a Pillow was thrown at him. he picked the Pillow up and gazed over to the door. Elise was there, she looked angrier than normally, "I'll go upstairs," she says.
"What did you do this time?" Pheonix asked him with a straight face.
Kannon shrugged, "I don't know."
Pheonix raised an eyebrow,"Sure about that?"
"Yes, what did you do?" Kannon asked him, leaning sightly forward.
Pheonic leaned back, "I did absolutely nothing, I was almost killed by her!" he answered.
"She jumped on me!" he added, throwing his arms in the air. Kannon laughed at that, "Really? What did you do then? Push her down, or what?" he asked jokingly.
"Well...I did push her. But i didn't do it on purpose!" he said scratching his neck, "I'll have to aplogize, huh?" Kannon nodded. Pheonix looked at the ground, apoligizing to her won't be easy, he knew that. Especially if she was angry, he knew what she could be like and had a bad feeling about this. "Fine." he said, standing up and making his way toward the door. He didn't like leaving Elizabeth alone, since he doesn't know form where those two know eachother.
He went upstairs and gently knocked on the door. "Lady Elise, I am sorry for pushing you off. Don't be mad, I didn't do it on purpose." he told her, guilt ridden.
She didn't answer, he heard something falling down and opened the door. "Is every-" he saw her at the window, climbing out. "What... wait!" he yelled almost.
He grabs her hand, "Where do you think you are going, Lady Elise?" he asked her.
"Away from here." she answered, trying to yank herself free. "Why that?" he asked her in a calm way, pulling her back into the room. She looked away.
"Lady Elise, please tell me." he said. She held her breath for a second, "I-I don't want to."
"And Why? D-did something happen?" he asked her in his most gentle voice.
She shook her head, "I don't know." He let go of her, closed the window and motioned her to follow him, she reluctantly did so. They went downstairs, into the room where Elizabeth slept.
She glared at Pheonix.
"Oh, so that was the problem... stop glaring at me." he said, stepping back a bit.
She pouted slightly, turned around and wanted to leave the room but Pheonix grabbed her by the arm and pulled her along. "Come on." he said.
"Let go of me, Red head idiot!" she said, trying to yank herself free. "You know, the more you resist, the tighter I'll hold you." he told her glancing over to her.
"I don't wanna be here!" she mumbled, following him. He smiled.
"Has Kannon something to do with it?" he asked her. She stared at him, "I-I...don't know! Shut up." she yelled, waking Elizabeth up. "W-what happened?" she asked, sleepy and vision still a little blurry. Pheonix went to her side, "Nothing, don't worry."
"Throw that Pillow at me, before I throw a chair at you Kannon!" she yelled. He looked at her, slighty shocked at her yelling and threw the Pillow at her, "There."
"Is she ok?" Elizabeth asked, coughing.
She clenched the pillow tightly. Kannon leaned back, "Why would you throw a chair at me?" he asked her, she didn't answer, she just took the chair and held it up, the Pillow falling to the ground. "I tried to ask her what happened, she tried escaping through the window upstairs." Pheonix explained. "The window upstairs?" he asked.
Pheonix nodded. "Are you stupid, Elli? That'd be the second time you'd hurt yourself from jumping out of a Window, you know that." he said, standing up quickly as a chair was thrown toward him. "Shut up!" she yelled, "It doesn't matter anyway!"
"Lady Elise, please calm down." Pheonix told her.
"Why doesn't it matter?" Kannon asked her.
She groaned, "You never understand!"
"Is it my fault? Fine, then. It's my fault, slap me if you want." he told her, crossing his arms.
"Oh, so you don't even mind being slapped anymore?" someone said, from behind Elise.
Kannon glared at the person, "Shut up."
"Who are you?" Pheonix asked as he felt Elizabeth's grib loosen as she slowly passed out from the fever. "Dr. Charles Bittencourt is my name. Didn't think I'd arrive in the middle of a marital war." he laughed, he didn't achknowledge the glaring of Kannon. "We are not married, shut up." he said
"Even though you act like one." Pheonix commented, he tried not sounding worried about Elizabeth. He knew she was going to be fine.
"Oh come one, Really?" Kannon said, falling into his chair. put his hand on Elise's shoulder, "Young Lady, please tell me why you are doing this." he asked.
"I am not going to tell you, old man!" she said.
His grib tightened, "Come on, tell me. Are you, perhaps, jealous?"
"N-no." she said, blushing slightly.
" I see," he laughed, "You tow don't only act like you're married you also behave that way. Though, your fights are quite dangerous. Throwing a chair, really?"
"I-I'll throw whatever I want to throw!" she said, crossing her arms.
"You could have hurt him." said, putting his chin on her head. "Stop." she said, throwing her arms around. "Oh, be careful with those tiny hands of yours." he said, backing up.
"Her hand aren't that tiny." Kannon commented, not even looking their way. Elise nodded, "True!"
"Ok, ok" Charles said as he put his hands in front of him.
She sighed, "Good. I am not tiny-" she was interrupted by Kannon.
"Just compact, perfect travel size." he said, she looked at him, "I wanted to say that, don't steal my words." He smiled at her, " Still mad?" he asked her.
"Not sure." she said, hitting .
"Why'd you hit me?" he asked her.
She shrugged, walking over to Pheonix, hitting him too. "Idiot. Don't push me to the fucking ground. No matter how much you love someone. Do you understand?" she asked him, slightly galring at him. He nodded, "Yeah."
"B-But could you wake me next time in a normal way?" he asked her.
She shrugged, sitting down on the bed. "Maybe." she mumbled, he smiled at her.
"Ok, if you say so." he said, leaning back. "What is wrong with that Girl there?" Charles asked, pointing at Elizabeth. Kannon didn't answer, even though Charles clearly asked him.
"She has a fever," Pheonix said, "She woke up but passed out again." he added.
"So the flu?" Charles asked, walking over to the bed. He put his hand on her forehead and waited for a few seconds. "Not as hot as I thought," he said, a smile on his lips. "Let her rest." he added.
"Ok," Pheonix wnated to let go of her hand but she tightend her grib and held him back.
"Um.. Lady Elizabeth?"
She moaned, "Stay, everyone."
"I don't want to be alone." she added, before she fell asleep again. Pheonix was happy to hear that but also worried about her. "Passing out that much isn't very good. Could you-" Charles began was interrupted by Kannon glaring at him. Charles pulled Elise onto the ground, she laid down, staring at the ceiling. She tried getting back up but it didn't work.
"Help, I can't get back up." she said in amonotone way, "This Asshole is still pushing me down, take your hand away from my stomach, I hate that." she added.
"Um, Dr. Bittencourt is everything alright?" Pheonix asked a little confused.
"Of course. Just what she was about to say, isn't." he said, letting go of her. She sat up and rubbed her head, "My Head hurts. Thank you Idiot." she said. He laughed nervously, "Remember, Secrets are secrets." She nodded, "Fine, shut up now." she looked at the ground, she seemed to be sad about something. "Now, please, Kannon heal her a tiny bit." he said pointing at Elizabeth.
"What secrets...?" Pheonix thought to himself.
"Secrets that he doesn't like talking about. About his past...and K-Kannon.. I guess." she looked up at Charles, "I said nothing."
"Can you stop being in my head Lady Elise?" Pheonix asked her witha straight face.
"No." she answered, rubbing her head a bit more and the her back. Kannon put his hand over Elizabeth's Head, slightly healing her so that she wouldn't pass out all the time.
Pheonix groaned, "Can you leave me alone for a second with my own thoughts?"
She shook her head, "You think so obvious things." she said.
"I'll not be mad at you, you're juts going to hit me again," he said.
"I am not mad, just bored." she thought for a moment, "I need a hug. I feel awful."
"Then hug someone." he told her.
"I can't." she said, pouting. She stood up and went over to him, "Kannon is angry at me and you won't hug me, cause you're scared that I might hit you." she whispered.
"I am scared when you're mad but you aren't right now." he held an arm open for her, inviting her to a hug. She hugged him, "You smell weird."
"I showered yesterday. How can i smell weird?" he asked her.
"You're sweating. From holding her hand or from fear that you'll fall backwards when I push?" she asked him, smiling a little. "What do you mean 'push'?" he asked confused.
She giggled, and with all her strenght she pushed the chair he was sitting over. She fell with him, but giggled, it was fun to her. He stared at the ceiling, shocked, form the sudden falling. Elise let go of him and sat next to him, "See?"
"And then people ask me why I have trust issues. When they ask me again, I'll tehm about you." he told her. She laughed, a bright smile on her face. "You finally let go of her hand too, you'l get sick if you're this close to her." she smiled. He rolled his eyes at her, trying to get up.
"She held my hand tightly, was I supposed to fight with her?" he asked her.
"Yes." she said with a straight face.
"Her fever is gone now." Kannon said, leaning back into his chair.
"Sometimes I wonder if your dumb or if you just acts like it." Pheonix said, he looked over at Elizabeth, "Thank god she's ok now."
"She's not stupid, she acts like it but that doesn't mean anything." Kannon says.
"Kannon, are you ok?" Pheonix asked him.
He nodded, "Why wouldn't I?"
Pheonix stood up, picked the chair up and rubbed his head a little. "Just asking," he said.
"Um, What time is it?" Elizabeth said sleepily.
"It's four after five. You slept for like two hours." Elise said, smiling happily.
"Rebecca and Alice will be really worried about me." She said, cupping her hands.
"Then you better get going," Kannon said, not even looking at her.
Pheonix nodded, "I'll come with you, to make sure you're safe."
"You are so cold Kannon, but thanks for taking care of me." she smiled at him and gazed over at Pheonix. She nodded, "Thank you a lot Pheonix."
She put on her shoes and went over to the front door, Pheonix followed her outside. They said their goodbyes and walked along the street. They were soon gone in the light fog.
