Chapter 111: 111: Healing Him
"That was fun" Eden smiled as fixed his clothes while feeling the power that ran through his body.
He was certain that the level of intimacy was enough to have a longer moment of using his power. So he was satisfied with that.
He wasn’t going all the way to the end. He wasn’t getting to the penetration level. He never did. And that was him being a virgin.
"You two were wild..." Lenny was out of his hiding place "I can’t believe I was waiting for you two to be done. And you two were taking longer than expected"
"You said the longer or more intimate the moment, the longer the powers will last. So of course I needed something intimate" Eden defended.
"You could have just gotten to the penetration part then" Lenny said sarcastically. "You didn’t have to leave the boy halfway through his aroused moment"
Eden shrugged "He didn’t want to continue. It’s not my fault"
Eden stared at his palms now. Purple dust slightly hovered around them "This should be enough to help Elvis"
"What are you doing?" Lenny inquired.
"I want to try using powers to save the crown prince" He announced.
Lenny blinked "I think that will drain you out" He explained "I mean... You don’t have your powers fully yet. So using the little you could gather to save someone internally like that would surely drain you"
Eden sighed "At least it’s better than leaving him in such state. He’s like that because of me, so I should at least do something"
Lenny sighed, staring at him. Giving him the eyes.
"What? Why are you looking at me?"
"Why are you acting like you’re falling for him!" Lenny demanded.
"No I’m not" Eden snapped "I’m just being an Angel" He said after adjusting himself.
"Whatever you said" Lenny remembered "Beside, I also noticed that that boy came with an emerald stone"
"Emerald stone? What’s that?" Eden asked.
"Something said to be used to drain someone’s magical powers" Lenny explained.
Eden paused, now looking at Lenny. He blinked "That brat, he wants to drain out my power? How ungrateful."
"You don’t have to worry about it now I guess. Since you don’t have your powers to yourself now, it won’t work on you anyways. And he didn’t even get to try it now since he was too engrossed in the heat of the moment. He’ll probably try it next time"
"That jerk.." Eden muttered "I’ll tell him off next time I see him"
"But as for now, I need to go back to The crown prince"
Lenny stared at him "You have to be careful though. This time it might not be you, but next time it might be. Since someone’s already out to kill you. And... This new disciple you picked up.. you should also be careful with him"
Eden said "Don’t worry. I’ll try my best" He winked Lenny a smile as he turned and left.
He headed to Elvis’s chamber for his magical treatment.
*********
Eden soon arrived at Elvis’s chamber. The Royal Physician was just wrapping up his treatment for the night with Elvis still asleep.
"How’s he doing?" Eden asked.
"Still in the same state. But I’ve done my best to calm him down for the moment. And have also given him some relief pills and all" He explained.
Eden nodded "That’s good then. If there’s nothing left, you can leave. Come back tomorrow morning. I’ll be here with him"
"Okay. Then I’ll take my leave"
The Royal Physician was soon gone and Eden was left alone in the same room with Elvis. Elvis was still unconscious. He was calm now, sleeping soundly like a kid.
Eden stared at him "Poor you" He muttered as he brought a seat close to Elvis’s bed. Eden sat down on it while staring at Elvis sleep calmly.
"You’re sleeping so peacefully.." He muttered as he stared at Elvis’s hand that were kept beside him.
He hesitated before he took Elvis’s hand on his own. Holding onto his palms which he entangled in his own.
He held the injured hands with both hands. Both palms covered Elvis’s palm while he stared at the injury.
"It must hurt" Eden sighed as he stared at his face.
"If you looked this calm and peaceful even when you’re awake, then I might have actually fallen for you..." he sighed as he stared at his hand which he was holding.
Eden gently soothed and massaged his hands for a while. And then he closed his eyes, muttering some words.
He was invoking his energy into Eden.
Invoking healing energy into Elvis that could at least keep him healthy amidst the poison that ran through his body until the cure came.
Eden wasn’t sure about it. He wasn’t sure if it was going to work.
He had read it in books and seen it in movies. And so he wanted to try it out.
And he did. Holding his hands gently while invoking energy through his body and into Eden’s body.
Purple smoke gently brushed through his arms and circulated around Elvis’s body in bed.
Thirty minutes later and Eden’s hands were still on Elvis hand. Holding him gently as the energy circulated through them.
He had his eyes on his face. Admiring Elvis’s facial features while running his other hand through Elvis’s hair.
"Why did you even save me?" Eden muttered, while brushing his fingers through his hair "You hated me, don’t you remember?"
He sighed "You weren’t even looking my way then..." He sighed as he brought down his hands to hold him, still staring at his face.
"You said I shouldn’t go all out saving you. But here you are. You even risked your life for me even when you knew you had no backup" Eden said "Poor you. If you keep this up... What then do you expect me to think?"
Eden hesitated "Of course I can only think that you’ve fallen for me. Hopelessly in love with me already"
