Chapter 372 - Your afraid of needles? (2/2)
Rhys lips curve to a smirk, he seemed amused. ”Then, I'll wait for it.”
The two of them bantered around for a bit when a sleepy-looking Kazuya emerged from the doorway. Lyn immediately stood up and left Rhys side.
”Kazuya, good morning,” she greeted. She tugged on her clothes and fixed them up quickly.
Kazuya looked at her half-dazed before he buried his face in her chest. T--this one is even worse! ”Kazuya, don't be stupid. Let's eat breakfast.”
”Thanks for the meal.”
”Not me!”
After much fuss, she finally got Kazuya to sit down on the table. Kazuya glanced over at Rhys and frowned, ”Did you harass Lyn again?”
”I didn't.”
”She keeps avoiding your gaze.”
Kazuya is as sharp as ever. Sensing his mood, though, Lyn didn't want to cause a fight to break out. While she doesn't know what kind of agreement they came up with regarding her. Lyn knew it was still a sensitive topic. If Rhys ever did something overboard and without consideration for her own feelings, then Kazuya would get angry.
”Rhys, Kazuya wants to give his blood.”
Rhys didn't seem surprised and nodded. ”Alright, let's start now then.”
”Now?”
”It's easier since he is in the middle of consuming food. Kazuya, you can keep eating.”
Kazuya nodded and continued to eat his meal. One arm extended out onto the table. Rhys stood up and made his way over. Kazuya used his free hand to eat, but it looked difficult, so Lyn started to feed him instead.
”Lyn, you have to eat too,” he brushed his free hand on her lips. ”Okay?”
”Yes,” Lyn nodded and took a bite of the omelet. As one would expect from Rhys cooking, it was very good. The softness of the omelet swept inside her mouth, and she chewed slowly. The entire time she felt Rhys glance over, but she focused on the food.
”Ouch.”
Lyn glanced back over at Kazuya and saw that Rhys with a large needle. ”Hey!” Lyn exclaimed. ”Why do you have to use...” Doesn't he usually use a small needle? What's with the large one for?
Rhys rolled his eyes, ”Why are you panicking for? Not even Kazuya is freaking out.”
”B—but needles hurt.”
”Kazuya isn't afraid of a needle.”
He isn't? Lyn took a sideways glance at him, despite the pained cry from just now. Kazuya appeared relatively calm. Maybe it was just like what Rhys said. After a few minutes had gone by, Lyn got a closer look, though, and noticed something strange. Kazuya kept making weird faces, and his entire face down to his neck was covered in sweat.
She extended her hand out to caress his face, indeed to confirm it was damp. Frowning, Lyn questioned him. ”What's wrong, Kazuya?”
”N—nothing.”
Lyn looked him up and down. Could it be, he's actually afraid? Rhys, however, doesn't seem to know that. She shifted closer and squeezed his hands with hers. ”Lyn,” Kazuya's gaze is soft. ”You really are amazing, huh.”
She laughs, ”You're just silly, Kazuya, I won't judge you for something like this.”
”But don't you think it's uncool. I'm a guy, but I'm frightened of needles.”
”And I'm a Princess who hates the crowd. It's the same thing,” Lyn trailed off. ”Besides, it doesn't matter. For me, you'll always look cool.”
