Ocean fire •Kiev/ Kier x dev•

chapter 5 "sick"

Kier was in his room, sleeping. His cheeks rose red and puffed up. His nose was stuffed, forcing him to breathe through his mouth which he typically didn't really like to do.

Soft footsteps could be heard as YelloWool walked into the room, holding a plate with Kier's breakfast.

"Kier wake up! Your mum told me to give this to you while it's hot." The Scottish wolf boy spoke as he sat the plate down on an oak desk.

"Mmhmn..mm-mm.." Kier hummed while rolling over, swaddling himself on his blankets. He didn't seem like he wanted to wake up.

YelloWool shook Kier gently. Kier opened his eyes to look at YelloWool with an angry glare.

"You have to wake up and eat.." YelloWool stated, looking down at the fire dragon.
"Are you sick?" He questioned, speaking only a few moments after.

Kier shrugged and sat up. He rubbed his heavy and tired eyes with the bottom of his palms. He already had pulled his tail out of the blankets to make sure they didn't go ablaze.

YelloWool put his padded hand against Kier's forehead. It was colder than usual. Usually a fire dragon's body would feel like fresh hot food from the oven. But Kier's body temperature had lowered.

"Kier your sick. You can't go out and see Dev today, it won't be healthy." YelloWool stated once more, pulling his hand from Kier's forehead.

"What..? No. I have to see Dev today. His birthday was yesterday it would be rude if I didn't go.." Kier bemoaned, grabbing his plate and he began to eat the food.

"I'll tell him you're sick okay?" YelloWool said, handing Kier an ink holder with a feather pen and a paper. "You can write him a little love letter while you eat." He spoke in a teasing tone.

"Oh shut up, it's purely platonic. We're just friends, Yello." Keir rolled his eyes and took another bite of his food, finishing it off. He handed the dishes to YelloWool and began to write the letter for Dev.

YelloWool brought the plate to the kitchen for Kier. Kier was still writing, he seemed like the type to be a fast and careless writer.

Dev was waiting where his and Kier's spot was. He wanted to see his best friend, unaware of Kier's sickness.
He thought Kier was actually gonna ditch him now.

Dev kept his hopes up, knowing Kier would be here soon. He knew that Kier wouldn't ACTUALLY leave him.. right? Especially not after his 'hatchday'.. after the day Kier gave him the necklace.. after Kier planted the seed of their friendship in the ground.

Dev noticed YelloWool approaching the water. He snapped out of his zone.

"Yeah?" Dev asked, leaning on the grass and dirt in front of the water. "Where's Kier?"

"Kiers is sick right now, he's writing a letter to you." YelloWool stated as he walked up to the water, looking down at Dev.

"Oh. Wait what's a letter?" Dev asked once more, tilting his head off to the side. His 'ear' fins opening.

"Uhm.. do you know how to like- read?" YelloWool was curious.. did sea serpents even read?

"Of course I do. I'm not a hatchling." Dev rolled his void black eyes with a soft scoff that was mixed in with a hiss.

"Right, right.. well it's writing but on paper and it goes from one person to another, ya know?" YelloWool said with a light chuckle, his tail even wagged a little.

"Oh... Okay. Tell him to hurry up already."  Dev ordered, swimming backwards a couple of feet.

"Alright, cya Dev!" YelloWool got up and started to run back towards the building Kier lived in. His wolf legs really helped out with the speed. He was a fast werewolf.
