CHAPTER 9
As Ethan checks the wound
"why are you talking about-"
Joah cuts him of with a sudden question
"then why did you ran?, do you hate me that much?, so much that you feel disgusted of me caring for you?"
then in a tone more pleading
"Ethan please look at-"
"Stop talking Joah you're hurt"
For once Ethan's full attention was on Joah, Joah looks at Ethan, his expression, and the way his hands felt cold while disinfecting his hand, the way his mouth slightly open while he blows on the wound to make disinfecting less painful, Honestly the feeling was Addicting.
A few minutes gone by then Ethan spoke up breaking the silence
"So what happened, how did you get cut"
Joah shifts slightly before speaking
"it's because you suddenly ran out the dorm, while you left I was here debating if I pushed too far?, did I crossed some boundary I've shouldn't cross?, when my only intention is trying to help, why did you ran do you feel disgusted?"
Joah looked at him, his almond eyes slightly tearing up demanding answers
"no-"
"then why"
"I-I"
"fine "
Joah mumbled under his breath
"This is immature i can't just force you to answer , it's not right"
Then Joah suddenly opens his arms
"Hug me .. Hug me if you're really sorry "
Ethan hugged him and felt a sense of relief before apologizing again while smelling the detergent they now both used
"I'm sorry Joah"
then Ethan nuzzles his chest
"Accepted but"
"but?"
Joah suddenly showing a smug expression
"you'll have to be my right hand while my hand heals, come on please, the wound is deep"
Ethan's mind:
great, just great but huh? the last time I've checked it's just a scrape but fine because i need to earn his forgiveness anyways let's be a great person
" alright but wait how are you hugging me with both hands if it hurts"
Little did Ethan know that this will affect his daily life
