Hi guys! Happy Easter! You guys are lucky I love your reviews so much! I had to rewrite this whole entire chapter :P Who am i kidding? I'm lucky to have great reviewers like you! Now with that said let's get on with the story!
As Me and Clive were making Earl Grey Tea there was a knock on the door. Clive walked over to the door and I followed him.
When he opened it we were greeted by the face of the lady who left me at the slides.
"You're Clive Triton, right?" She said smiling brightly. Clive nodded and replied.
"Yeah it is, But I don't recall meeting you before." He said narrowing his eyes slightly. She giggled and blushed slightly.
"I'm glad your bothers safe. I'm Holly." She said offering to shake his hand. Was she trying to get on a date with Clive?! I grabbed Clive's arm and pulled him down so his face was level with mine.
"That the lady who left me at the slides." I said barely audible. Clive's face filled with confusion and then hate and anger when he figured out what I had said. He wrapped his arms protectively around me.
"Leave." He said to her, His voice Cold.
"What?" She asked shocked
"Leave."
"B-But why?" His arms tightened around me.
"If you want to live I suggest you leave." He said glaring at her. She ran down the hallway. Clive let go of me and shut the door before going back to the Earl Gray.
"Did you mean it?" I whispered a bit later.
"Hmm?" Clive asked as he poured tea into our cups.
"That you would kill her if she didn't leave." I said softly. Clive stopped and looked into my eyes, as if he were looking for something before he replied,
"That woman is the reason you almost died." Clive said clenching his teeth, small tears growing bigger at the corner of his eyes.
"Yeah but…." I trailed of, blushing at my unspoken words.
"But what?" Clive asked tilting his head to the side, confusion filling his face.
"I-It's nothing!" I stammered my cheeks burning with embarrassment.
"Luke, Tell me." He said inching closer.
"It's n-nothing!" I said again looking away.
"Then why are you all red~?" I glanced at Clive, he was smirking! He's teasing me!
"It's h-hot in here that's a-all!" I said trying to hide my face.
"Luke it's freezing in here." Clive replied. He was right, I shivered before answering.
"W-well you've been hugging me all day so of course I'm warm!" Clive pouted.
"You don't like it when I hug you?" His voice sounded hurt.
"Yes—N-no I" I rambled. Clive smirked and pounced on me, pinning me beneath him.
"Tell me Luke~." He said coming inches from my face. "I-I" I mumbled my face burning. Suddenly I felt something burning hot on my hand and I let out a loud shriek. Clive grabbed my hand and I winced in pain.
"Look what you did ya little dummy." He said. I looked up and saw my hand red from boiling hot Earl Grey. I bit my bottom lip and let tiny tears spill down my cheeks. It really hurts.
Suddenly Clive blushed lightly and brought my finger to his lip before he started sucking on it.
"Dummy." He mumbled. My eyes widened at Clive and I felt my face cooling down a bit.
"Does it feel better?"
"Hmm?" I asked yawning slightly. Suddenly my eyes widened and my face was on fire again. I was practically taking a nap and Clive was still on top of me AND sucking my finger. I snatched it away from him and looked away.
"Yeah.." I mumbled. He smirked.
"I was afraid you were going to fall asleep~." He teased. Why did Clive know how to push my buttons better than anyone else?
We heard a click and Clive jumped off of me just in time. Flora and The Professor came in carrying some large bags.
"Dinner will be done in a bit~!" Flora said skipping into the kitchen. I was so relieved when the Professor followed her in. Me and Clive sat in an awkward silence, always glancing at each other at the same time.
"Dose it still hurt?" Clive broke the silence.
"Hmm?" I asked tilting my head to the side.
"Your finger." He replied.
"Oh its fine, you don't need to worry." I said smiling softly. To be honest it still kind of stung.
"You're lying." He said grabbing my hand. I wanted to scream out in pain but I clenched my teeth to keep me from doing so. His eyes softened and he began sucking my finger again.
"W-what are you doing! W-what if the Professah s-sees this!" I whispered harshly, Clive on the other hand let out a small laugh.
"He'll just say it reminds him of a puzzle." He murmured. I couldn't help but giggle at Clive's comment. He stopped sucking my finger and bandaged it with gauze that was in the emergency medical kit. He then gave my finger a soft kiss before ruffling my hair. I felt my heart leap when he did that…Do I like Clive? I was thinking about it before I fell off the platform but my thoughts were interrupted by Clive. I shook my head roughly there's no way I like Clive! But then-
"Luke what are you thinking about?" Clive said waving a hand in front of my face. I snapped my attention to him.
"Hmm?" I asked.
"I was trying to ask if your finger felt okay but you zoned out."
"It's nothing!" I said blushing slightly. Clive was about to say something when Flora and The Professor came in with plates of really really good looking food.
"Dinner's ready!" Flora said Putting a big plate in the middle. The Professor put two plates next to the huge one.
"But the Professor barely let me help cook at all!" Flora complained, glaring at him.
"I'm sorry Flora, You can make tomorrow night's dinner by yourself if you like, okay?" The Professor said, I could tell he regretted his last words.
"Okay~!" Flora said happily sitting down. On the huge plate there were pancakes, on the smaller plate left to it there was bacon and on the plate to the right there was toast. As hungry as I was I wasn't in the mood. So after everyone got seated, except me, I spoke up.
"Professah may I be excused?, I'm not very hungry." All of them looked at me, shocked. The Professor nodded and I smiled at him before going to my room.
~Clive's POV~
When Luke was out of sight I turned to the Professor.
"May I-"I began but he cut me off.
"Yes, and could you try to coax him to eat?" The Professor asked a worried smile on his face. I smiled and nodded.
"Can I go with him?" Flora pleaded the Professor. He eyes filled with concern.
"Now Flora we mustn't bother Luke to much after all he almost," The Professor clenched his teeth and I saw tears forming in his eyes. He pulled his Top hat down so it covered his eyes.
"Died." He said softly.
I carried a Plate of pancakes, bacon , toast and two cups of Earl Grey to my room.
"Luke?" I asked opening the door slightly. I saw him curled in a ball on our bed holding his teddy tightly. The sight nearly broke my heart. I set the food and drinks on the dresser.
"Luke.." I said rubbing his back. It became so quiet I could hear Luke crying silently. I pulled him into a hug and he let me. After a while he rested his head against my chest.
"You started thinking about it, huh?" I asked. I realized that earlier I was distracting Luke from the incident by teasing him, I wish I could do that now but that would just make him cross with me. I felt him nod.
"You hungry?" I asked softly turning to the food getting ready to grab it.
"No." Luke said softly. Suddenly I heard a very loud growling noise. I looked down at Luke and he blushed slightly trying to hide his face.
"I think your stomach says otherwise~." I teased him. He looked over at the food.
"Just one bite." He mumbled, which made me laugh. I cut the pancakes into piece and stabbed a piece onto the fork before holding it in front of his face.
"I can feed mysel-" I cut him off by shoving the fork in his mouth. He blushed but ate it. I then offered him another piece but he shook his head.
"I told you only one bit-" I cut him off again shoving another piece in his mouth. This went on until he finished the pancake pieces.
"Do you want some Earl Grey?" I asked he shook his head.
"No thanks." He replied. Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I smirked before sighing heavily.
"You know Luke you can't give Earl Grey to someone with a fork so the only other option is-" His eyes widened as he realized what I was about to say. He stole the Earl Grey from me and chugged it down. I laughed silently at this. I was giving him a piece of toast when he spoke up.
"Clive you've haven't had anything to eat." I smiled at him before replying,
"Its fine, I just need to make sure you eat." At first he blushed and then he glared at me. I don't know how it happened but Luke, yes Luke, Had pinned me to our bed and held a piece of toast to my mouth.
"Eat." He said flatly, glaring at me.
"Luke I'm fin-" He shoved a piece of toast in my mouth and glared at me until I ate it. By then, Luke had made himself comfy on my chest, not that I could complain he weighed as much as a feather. He kept feeding me until I finished the toast and bacon. He picked up the Earl Grey and another idea popped into my head.
"Luke I don't want Earl Grey." I said pouting. Luke looked around as if looking for an answer before an evil smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly he leaned down and kissed my cheek causing me to gasp in surprise. He then shoved a straw in my mouth and placed a funnel at the other end of it before slowly pouring Earl Grey into it. That sneaky little-
My thoughts were cut off when I heard Luke giggle. I looked up and saw him smiling brightly and blushing a light shade of pink. Suddenly I started coughing harshly. Luke tossed aside the straw funnel and cup and helped me up before pounding on my back with his tiny fist. His fist were small but effective. I soon started breathing normally. Luke let out a heavy sigh and leaned against me with his eyes closed.
"Tired?" I asked. He nodded sleepily and I picked him up and took him to the bathroom. I handed him his bag and he walked in barely walking straight. When he came out he was dressed in his PJ's holding his teddy tightly. He let out a small yawn and rubbed his eyes. I felt my heart flutter and my cheeks become pink. I picked him up and put him on the bed.
"Can you wait for me?" I asked. He nodded sleepily and I dashed to the bathroom to get changed.
When I came back Luke was barely awake. I turned off the lights and crawled into bed.
"Clive I'm cold." Luke said tugging the back of my night shirt. I turned around and opened my arms.
"Come h-" But before I could finish Luke was already nuzzling into my chest, his hands clutching my night shirt. I smiled softly before wrapping my arms around him.
"Good night, Clive." Luke said softly. I smiled.
"'Night, Luke." I replied, stroking his cheek. I soon felt the soft, rhythmical rise and fall of his chest telling me he was asleep. I nuzzled my head into his hair and whispered,
"I love you Luke." Before planting a small kiss on his forehead. What I heard next caught me completely off guard. I heard Luke's sleepy and soft voice reply,
"I love you too Clive." He then wrapped his arms around me and nuzzled into my chest.
