Previous:Hearing the News
Gelato sighed and shifted in his sleep. His body felt sore, but his mind was wide awake. He opened his eyes groggily, having to blink a few times.
He could hear quiet grumbling with a barely hidden tone of panic around him. "Honestly, what was he even hoping to accomplish?"
Gelato smiled at the voice and woke up more, lifting his head. His eyes cleared slightly. "Morning.."
Riesling jumped, his fur puffing up a little before realizing that Gelato was in fact not unconscious. "You're awake."
Gelato smiled sleepily. "You were waiting for me to wake up?"
"I was waiting to see if that poison would reach your brain." Riesling said testily, sniffing his wound.
Gelato watched him, not reacting. "You ok? You sound different."
"Don't ask if I'm okay, idiot! You're the one who got stung by a naganid!" Riesling snapped at him.
Gelato looked hurt and lowered his ear. "But I feel fine."
"You could have died!"
"They made my sister cry." Geltato said quietly. "So I was going to give them a firm talking to."
Riesling faltered.
He could understand that.
"I-I get that, but still, just walking up to him? What else was going to happen?!"
Gelato didn't respond immediately, his gaze going to the floor.
"I wanted to protect her...like you can protect your sister.."
Riesling was starting to get hot. "And who was going to protect you, you bumbling dolt?!"
Gelato lowered his head and looked away.
"You really don't get it, do you?! You could have died!" Riesling was yelling now, faintly aware of the wet building in his eyes, "What would have happened to your sister, to my sister! Do you know how much they care about you? They would be devastated if you were gone! And damn it all to hell, if you leave me alone before I can figure out why I care so much for you, I'm going to-"
Riesling stopped.
What just came out of his mouth?
Gelato blinked a few times, then glanced up to him.
He was silent a moment, then tried to stand up, keeping his injured paw off the ground and stretching.
Riesling quickly tried to push him back into a laying position with a shaky paw, trying not to hurt him further.
Gelato looked up to him, opening all three eyes. "Why you...care so much for me?" He asked, his voice still calm.
Riesling didn't dare speak, not trusting what might come out of his mouth. Instead, he sniffled a little.
Gellato tilted his head and tried to scoot closer. "Riesling?"
"Why can't you keep yourself from getting hurt for five minutes?" Riesling's voice was small as he he lifted a paw to try and swipe away some tears.
Gelato stayed silent a moment.
Then he gently licked Rielsing's cheek. "Im sorry I scared you.."
Riesling sniffled.
He had a feeling that he knew what that heat in his cheeks has been this entire time.
It was a blush.
He liked him.
More than Sunburst liked him.
Or maybe in a different way entirely.
He pressed his cheek against Gelato's chest. "Don't do it again."
Gelato sighed and gently groomed the top of Rieslings head for comfort. "I'll try not to. I'm sorry for all of this." He put his paw on Riesling's back.
"Just be careful. Please?" Riesling's voice was muffled by Gelato's fur.
Gelato nodded and purred slightly.
