51 Concerns and spirits (2/2)

He was almost done. Even the pain seemed to be at ease after his touch.

Finally he put a patch on it lightly and left it open as it is and looked up at Seb with concern.

”What are you going to do now?”, he asked. He didn't imply his decision or command at once on her. Based on her behaviour, it'll trigger her surely.

”You say...”, Seb said unexpectedly,...what should I do?”.

”You'll actually listen if I tell you to drop out right now from the game?”, Iven asked.

”No”, Seb was quick.

Iven gazed for a second and laughed shortly,”Then why even bother asking?”

”If you can suggest something which I'll actually listen”, Seb pulled her knees closer to her chest.

”With such a wound, I should take you to the hospital”, Iven said,” It looks really serious”.

Seb was staring with blank eyes at him.

Iven tried again,”Please for once, listen to me”, he pleaded.

”I promise I'll go after the game”, Seb said judging by his sincere concern,” But for now, I can't leave midway when it's such a crisis situation”.

Iven could understand her.

They indeed faced unfair insults. And leaving it on their own will only harm the ones who takes the game seriously later on.

Also, it's totally not Seb if she doesn't pay back for her unjust treatment.

She can't tolerate and not let them go who harmed her and her teammates.

He sighed once and kept looking in her eyes with lost hopes. He has no ideas whatsoever.

Time was running out, and they had to do something so that Seb can be in her form in the next half time.

All they were doing were engaging themselves in a staring contest.

Finally Seb sighed out in hopelessness and looked away from him.

Her eyes fell on the bandage roll which Iven had brought.

That's when a totally absurd idea struck her mind.

she looked at the roll once and looked back at Iven with bulgy eyes.

”What?”, Iven didn't catch any of her intention.

Of course he was a sane man and such things can never cross his head.

Seb tsked her tongue and said,”Pass that bandage roll”.

”Why? You can't play with that on. It'll be obvious through your sock and you'll be thrown out instantly”, he said.

”That depends on your strength and how tight it is”, she caught the bandage from his hand.

Iven still took twice of minutes to catch up to her.

He even tried studying the unusual smirk on her lips which was a exact stimulation of her unusual ideas and gave Iven the chills.

Finally when he understood, his eyes were completely popped out and a wide open mouth.

He violently shook his head and disapproved of the idea.

”You're completely crazy!!! Insane!!!”, he shoot away from her.

”It's the best idea”, Seb said softened,”It can buy me time without feeling anything”.

”You can't even predict the aftermath Belle!”, Iven was not ready to give in at all,”It'll be worse that it is now”.

”I told you I'll go to the hospital with you, please”, she was getting patience less.

”You sound totally nonsense Belle”, Iven was losing his barrier to her,”How long can you manage to pull!”.

”Till the game gets over and those 'Meteors' taste sand”, she said,”Iven please?”

Iven threw a defeated and worried look at her.

He finally had to give in to her.

Those puppy eyes have the capacity to hypnotize him.

He started unbinding the roll as Seb smiled.

”Don't smile you maniac!!”, Iven burst out even though he gave in,”I hope you can play up to 45 minutes more till your leg gets totally fractured”.

”You'll there to carry me then”, Seb tried sweet talking because she already got what she wanted.

”You'll be lucky if I don't throw you away”, Iven said with fake anger,”This is going to get rather painful, brace your lips. You still sure this is the only way?”.

Seb nodded once and looked away.

Iven then placed the bandage on her wound and wrapped it around.

Then came the most difficult part.

Without any second thought, Iven tightly wrapped a round over the wound, then another...and another....tighter...even tighter so that the blood isn't exposed through the socks!

Seb quivered occasionally, Iven breathed harder!!!

He put all his strength to tighten the wrap more and tied the knot below the wound on her calf.

Seb finally led out her breath.

Iven too fell on his bottoms.

They both were panting.

”That sure hurt a lot”, Seb said with a exquisite smile on her face as she tried to get up.

Iven immediately was on his feet and took her palm to help her up.

”I hope you pass out in the middle you psycho woman!”, he cursed.

He smiled at her stupidity and intense will power.

That spirit of hers and the foolish attitude really makes her one hell of a sportsman!

Her painful expression had changed into a vicious one.

Pain and unjust treatment was her stimulation to victory.

”They want wild, I'll show them wild”, she said breaking her laze of shoulders,”Now, I shall prey upon you! Just you wait”. Her eyes indeed of a predator's.

Iven's spine ran a shiver through it,”Sometimes you scare me”, he said.

But it'll be interesting to watch how Seb will revenge upon them. No one ever dared to treat her such. They're yet to face a huge calamity upcoming.

He wrapped his hand around her waist out of the blue and pulled her closer,”Be careful”, he whispered,”Don't push it too far”.

Seb didn't resist.

She looked at him with a warm smile,”They pushed it far already, I'll just bring it back. Don't worry”.

And there was last 5 minutes left...
