Everyone Is Looking At Me Strangely

The Dust Settles

Chapter 36

Unable to leave the bed, Blake closes his eyes and tries his best to get some rest....

1 sheep.... 2 sheep..... 3 sheep.....
4 sheep....
Uhh...I think I'm finally starting to fall asleep.....

Many methods of how to sleep faster had been useless and something actually has an effect! Finally after my hard work!

Exhausted from anxiety and overthinking, his consciousness slowly became hazy, But just as he is about to enter the dreamworld....

"Blakey!"

"Little man!"

"Darling!"

What great timing! Blake's drowsiness disappeared as if it never existed....

Three frantic voices echoed throughout the room, as soon as Blake saw who they were he laugh and thought to himself.......

I guess getting some rest will have to wait!

With calmness and peace in his mind, He raises his upper body up from the sleeping position and waves at the people in his room, The three however on the otherhand....

"Blakey! Get some r-rest!"

"Darling! Y-You must be dizzy! I'll assist you so that you can lay down right away!"

"Little man! D-D you remember us?!"

Fear and anxiety is looming in the room and is present in their beautiful eyes, Most notably in their stuttering voice....

Huh? Wait! Why are they like this?
Do they think that I have lost my memories?!

Blake then thought as maybe a misunderstanding was formed without him knowing, Especially the possible amnesia one......

And in order to clear that up....

Pointing at the casts on his leg and an arm sling on one of his arms, He chuckled lightly....

"H-Hey! I'm alright! Aoi, Laura, Yumi! Well, except the fractures that I sustained hahaha.."

After being called by their names, They managed to calm down and proceed to sit by the side of Blake's bed.....

But before they start to make up for lost time with him, The maids entered the room and announced.....

"The doctors said that the young master's vitals are stable and is in good health milady, Only possible problems is that he is maybe hungry"

"Then can I entrust to you that duty?"

"Yes Milady! Leave it to us!"

As soon as the maids left.....

""Phew....""

The ladies breathe a sigh of relief and they looked back at Blake, Not letting their sights leave him or else maybe he will disappear,
They smiled knowing Blake is safe and the three finally talked to Blake.....

"Don't do that stunt again okay Darling?"

Aoi hugs Blake by the arm....

"Do that again and maybe I'll be the one to end you Blakey!"

Yumine buries her head into Blake's chest....

"Little man.... Welcome back..."

Laura said softly as she lays her head on Blake's shoulder....

"Everyone..... I'm back..."

He tried his best to not be emotional, yet a tear falls down on his right cheek....

The fear and anxiety from before dissipated as if it never existed and got replaced by the cozy atmosphere that the four of them created by reuniting with each other with cuddling.....

Some time later after they got their share of skinship with Blake, Yumine and Laura slept yet still locking him in their warm embrace whilst......

"Uhhh Aoi can you grab the remote?"

"Of course darling! Here!"

Due to Laura hugging on his free functioning hand, He asked the help of Aoi....

But as Blake grabs the remote for the T.V to entertain himself, He said to Aoi suddenly.....

"Ummm can you please stop calling me that?"

Suprised at his response when called by a pet name she made for him, Aoi couldn't help but frantically ask Blake.....

"You don't like me calling you that?! Why?! Is there something wrong with that? Do you hate it? I can change it if you want to!"

Worst case scenarios ran through her mind as to why he doesn't like being called a name made for him, But that all came to a stop when Blake replied quickly....

" C-Calm down Aoi! It's not that, It's just.... Ughh.."

"Then what is it?!"

Blake whose arm is still being used as a pillow by Laura, Could only use his thumb to point at a direction... And when Aoi looked at the place where he is pointing.....

So that's why!!!

He points at the sleeping Laura and Yumine, Aoi couldn't understand what Blake meant but she also felt something is off due to.....

Why in the world are both of them pinching Blake's waist? Are they really sleeping? Or???

Then I'll try this.....

Aoi decides to call Blake by the name she made for him another time just to see what is really happening.....

She breathes slowly and.....

"Dar~ling, I'll make you a handmade meal okay?"

Aoi whispered softly into his ear and when she checked again at the two sleeping beside Blake.....

"......."

Eeeeeeek!

She couldn't help but shriek at the glare both Laura and Yumine is giving her, It is as if they want to freeze her with their stare.....

However....

"I won't back down!"

She announced at the two ladies causing them to stand up and prepare fighting stances, Feeling a fight is brewing, Blake who is unable to stop fight could only sigh and thought....

Good luck to you three! I guess....

As the ladies rumble in the background, Blake who still can't move from his bed decided to watch the T.V with the remote Aoi gave him,
When he turned it on it is a news segment and featured in the headlines are faces he knew really well.....

"Breaking News! A Criminal Caught Hours Before Is Currently Being Beaten Up By Two Parents Whose Son got caught up in this criminals atrocities! Here we are live!"

"See this son?! I'm gonna suplex this asshole!"

"Fufufufu, Don't forget I'm here! Dear! Watch us break his spine!"

Mom?! Dad?! How did they managed to get his hands on him?! No wait... Laura's Connections!! Well, I mean he gets what he deserves but damn my parents showed no mercy on the fatso!

Blake couldn't help but cheer as his parents beat up the criminal Serius which is continually screaming and begging to stop but to no avail....

And just like that, Blake didn't get a wink of sleep that day but he still smiled....

Picking this life over that nightmare is the best decision I will ever make, Thank you....

He then watched the ladies fight all throughout the night.....
