~Chapter 6: Fever and Warmth~

Two days had gone by when the battles were on hold. The remaining 9 students had started on sharpening their skills, upgrading their gears and weapons. Elsword closed his eyes and thought of Aisha, ignoring reality for a moment before snapping out of fantasy. Chung and Eve were a distance from him, under a tree of shade, talking about something that he won't understand.

He took a glance at Raven who was practicing his swordsmanship, creating new moves to use in the battles. He began to just merely ignore those around him, wondering why humans must be so noisy. Rena was also around his corner, making heart shaped signs with her hands around Chung and Eve, muttering 'Cheve' causing him to look over towards them.

'Well... Chung and Eve. I admit that they look good together, but.. Aren't they enemies? Altera and Hamel are at war for centuries. If i remember correctly, from what the records said, Altera was mainly at fault.. But then.. Hamel was the first to attack Altera..? I'm no good with history, but all i know is that... Chung and Eve are the ones that's going to end this war...'

"Chung and Eve... No matter the obstacle that stands in their way, they'll get over the obstacle and spread their wings and soar through the sky.. War or not, it's already been decided that they'll be together.. Just like you and Aisha~"

Rena who appeared out of nowhere, smiled at Elsword who faintly blushed which is barely visible and stayed silent. He glanced towards her and silently wondered how she know what he was thinking. Rena sat down next to him while Chung and Eve disappeared from their sights and Raven sheathing his sword, walking towards the dorms.

"Elsword... It's easy to tell what you're thinking ever since your battle with Aisha.. At first, you were expressionless and hard to approach, but then.. Your battle with Aisha almost changed you completely. You're opening up to others, and.. It's easy to tell what you're thinking, but you still remain that cold face sometimes.."

"There's no way a battle with a little girl can change me that much.. All i felt during the battle was enjoyment. I was merely enjoying the battle, since she can fight against me without any problems or complaint."

"Don't lie to yourself... It's only going to make you feel worse later on. It was nice talking with you. Just remember my words.. Don't lie to yourself or you'll regret it and feel bad."

Rena smiled at him before standing up, running towards the dorms. She closed her eyes before turning around, facing Elsword who was still in his spot, trying to figure out Rena's meaning behind her words.

"Elsword! Don't stay in the past, move on! Your sister probably wouldn't want you staying in the past forever!"

Rena waved both her arms cheerfully, before continuing on her way towards the dorms. Elsword tilted his head to the side as Rena gave him more confusing words to think about.

'Don't lie to myself or i'll regret it, feeling even worse than now..? I don't feel anything...? And.. Don't stay in the past...? I'm not staying in the past! I'm moving on.. In my own pace... But then... Does she know Elsa?! Nobody knows about my sister missing unless i told them or they're part of the Red Knights who were scattered, but still worried for their leader... Rena.. Who are you and how do you know about Elsa?'

Elsword narrowed his eyes towards Rena's direction before standing up and ran towards the dorms. He continued on running, clutching his silver pendent, before speeding up, running in the dorms. He looked around, trying to look for Rena, wondering if he should ask other students if they knew where she was.

'But then they'll never talk to me. I'm the silent, awkward one.. Maybe i can ask Lowe, since he used to know me back from childhood, but.. We haven't been talking at all ever since Elsa disappeared... It'll be awkward..'

Elsword sighed in disappointment as he began to walk towards his dorm. The moment he reaches his dorm, Aisha was in front of his door, fainted. His eyes widened as he ran towards her, and hugged her. The moment he touches her body, it was hot as lava. He laid his forehead against Aisha's before bursting his door open, laying Aisha on his bed.

He looked for medicine in his canbinets, and getting a towl, wetting it with icy cold water. He laid the towl on her forehead before running around his dorm, looking for a water bottle. As soon as he found one, he poured it in a glass and getting out the medicine. He stopped in his tracks, and stared at Aisha, wondering how can he give her the medicine.

'Opening her mouth would be useless... Wait a minute.. There's another way, but then.. That's like taking advantage of her while she has a fever. Eh... Whatever, this is depending on someone's health..'

Elsword slightly glared at the medicine before putting it inside his mouth, drinking the water from the glass. He leaned down on Aisha and pressed his lips against hers. He began to use his tongue, creating a small opening for the medicine and water. As soon as the medicine and water left his mouth and making sure that Aisha swallowed everything, he got up and covered his mouth with a dark red blush.

He climbed on to his bed, holding Aisha's body up, and laid against the wall. He began to set Aisha's body against his, letting her rest against his chest, while he wrapped his arms around her waist. Elsword began to bury his face in her hair, blushing bright red, redder than a tomato.

He closed his eyes and drifted to dreamland with Aisha in his arms. Aisha slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry, wondering where she was. She noticed that she couldn't move, and there were arms around her. She wanted to move, but she couldn't. She sighed silently, as she drifted back to slumber while feeling a bit safe with those arms around her.

'Who...? I want to know who these arms belong to.. These arms... Are giving me a sense of feeling safe.. Who..? I want to show my gratitude.. Is it you, Elsword?'

"Then... Good night Eve..."

Chung hugged her, kissing her forehead before going inside his dorm, shutting his door before sliding down the door, touching his lips. He closed his eyes, wondering if Eve knows about their memories together and... The possibilities of remembering them...

"Despite dreaming of those fragments of memories.. She's slowly showing changes.. Last night... She said those words to me.. Even though it's just her sleep talk..."

'It's proof that our days together back then existed.. Its proof that our promises, confessions were spoken... It's proof that.. My feelings were reciprocated..'

Tears fell down on Chung's face as he smiled softly, touching his lips once again.

~Author's Note~

I know it's short... XP I wanted to create a small scene for Elsword and Aisha and how Chung felt from last chapter after hearing Eve's sleep talk.

Now, battles won't be appearing yet, until... Like after the next chapter.. So be patient and wait for war in the next next chapter~ :)
