34 Feverish (1/2)

The headmaster seemed to have given a speech or something similar since people started clapping. Casimir wasn't entirely sure, not paying attention to anything. All he knew was that, food suddenly appeared on the previously empty plates after the clapping stopped. At that moment, Casimir began feeling a little lightheaded but, he just brushed it off, thinking that it was just due to not getting enough sleep.

”You better eat something before going to sleep.” Draco nudged Casimir. ”If you get stomachache in the middle of the night, you better not be complaining to me.”

”Mmh.” Casimir hummed and glanced at Draco through half lidded eyes. ”That's surprisingly caring of you.”

Draco rolled his eyes. ”What caring? I just don't want you whining at me at 2 A.M. in the morning.”

”Aww, Draco. Just admit that you love me.” Casimir grinned and suddenly hugged Draco tightly, surprising the boy.

”Get off me, you weirdo!” Draco yelled and tried to struggle his way out of Casimir's arms.

”I will never let go of you!” Casimir laughed.

”You will let go of me or my father will hear about this, Marie!” Draco threatened.

”Oh, I think your father and especially your mother would be very happy about this instead, don't you think?” Casimir teased but, his face seemed to grow increasingly pale.

”Just get away from me!” Draco pushed Casimir's face away but ended up recoiling his hand away right after.

”Why are you so hot?” Draco asked in shock.

”Well, thank you for the compliment, Draco but, unfortunately, I have no such interest in you in that manner.” Casimir tried to joke.

”I'm being serious here, you nitwit! You're burning up!” Draco smacked Casimir's hand away from his shoulder and placed the back of his hand on Casimir's forehead. ”How can you be sick today of all days?!”

”No wonder you started acting all weird suddenly.” Draco muttered to himself.

”It's fine.” Casimir smiled weakly and pulled the scarf closer to his neck for warmth. ”I just need to rest for a while.”

”Eat a little before you sleep then, you git!” This time, it was Draco doing the lecturing instead of Casimir.

Meanwhile, the other people of their little group were showing complex expressions, feeling left out from this show of brothers love.

Casimir just smiled happily and content, acting in a spoiled manner as Draco shoved all kinds of food into his plate.
