53 Chapter 53: Kissing (1/2)

Freya followed Zelal out and even though they walked away from Jinha's room, they could clearly hear his fury as he lashed out at the others.

Upon reaching the room Usui was resting in, they saw curtains blowing from the breeze. Flowers neatly decorated in a vase near his bed. There was a beautiful teapot sitting on the table with some cups beside it.

Zelal murmured as he approached the bed, ”He hasn't woken up since that red-haired guy. Fluffy..whatever you want to call him, came in.”

Freya raised her eyebrow at his description of her phoenix.

”What?! How can you call a guy Fluffy?!” Zelal justified himself.

”Why can't I? it's cute.” she retorted.

Right at the moment, the door opened and Fluffy entered. He looked at both of them and laid his eyes on Zelal, pressuring him to speak up.

Zelal huffed as he said, ”It's not a guy-ish name.”

Fluffy frowned as he looked at Freya puzzled. Freya rolled her eyes as she ignored them and approached Usui.

She checked his pulse and frowned. Spotting a change in her expression, Zelal interrogated worriedly, ”What? Is there something wrong with my brother?”

All he received was a pin drop silence so Zelal reworded his words.

”Ah! there must be. Else why would he not wake up after five days?”

Fluffy looked at the chattering monkey in disgust before turning to Freya, ”It seems his vitals are okay. Even his mana power has improved.”

He poured himself some tea while offering another cup to Freya, who rejected. He didn't bother offering to Zelal as he took a sip of the tea.

Freya nodded as she rubbed her chin, ”Hmm... it seems the recovery is done. Now, it's all on when he would wake up or when he would allow his body to wake up.”

”What?” Zelal tilted his head as he frowned not understanding her words.

Fluffy rolled his eyes as he commented, ”What she meant was.. this idiot is aware of his surroundings but his body is not responding to his actions.”

Hearing this, Zelal nodded his head for a couple of seconds and stopped. He scrutinized his brother who was sleeping peacefully on his bed and confirmed with them again, ”Are you guys sure he is awake? Can he hear us?”

Fluffy nodded his head while sipping on a tea. Freya folded her hands and looked curiously at Zelal who appeared to have some kind of plan.

Exhaling deeply, Zelal shouted at Fluffy, ”What do you think you are doing, you red-haired bastard?”

Fluffy was startled by his sudden shout that he almost dropped his cup. He looked at Zelal in annoyance before he completed his task. His right hand caressed Freya's ear as he placed the loosened strand behind her ear.

After doing that, Fluffy glanced at Zelal in irritation before going back to sipping his tea.

Zelal ignored their gazes and asked shockingly, ”Why are you kissing her?”

Fluffy choked on his tea and wheezed heavily while looking at that idiot. His eyes widened and as he was about to berate him he felt Freya tug at his clothes softly.

Even though it was just a minute action, she did see Usui's finger moving. So she stopped Fluffy without hearing what Zelal said, in a hurry.

Looking at her pale hand tugging his clothes, he turned to Freya who was looking at him with glistening eyes. Fluffy opened his mouth to ask her but her pale hand covered his mouth. Freya shook her head slightly asking him to be silent.

Fluffy frowned harder as he took her hand away from his face. He couldn't believe that Freya was okay with kissing him. So he asked in disbelief, ”You don't mind?”

”Huh?” Freya frowned not understanding his thoughts. Thinking that he meant about being quiet, she nodded her head.

Surprised, Fluffy caressed her face to which Freya frowned. She slapped his hands away and asked him in a low voice, ”What are you doing?”

Fluffy answered seriously, ”Trying to kiss you.”

Now, it was Zelal's turn for his jaw to drop. Freya stared at her Phoenix baffled at his thought process. She exhaled angrily and smacked his shoulder hard.

'Seriously?! Is this the only thing which goes through everyone's mind?'

Seeing her annoyed expression, Fluffy laughed nervously as he understood that he misinterpreted her actions. Well, it doesn't hurt to try.

Freya closed her eyes as she slapped her forehead. However, she was startled by the loud scream the next second.

”NOOOOOOOO... Don't you dare kiss her?!”

Three pairs of eyes locked on to the person on the bed who was panting heavily while clutching his chest and glaring at Fluffy distastefully.

Zelal looked at his brother proudly.

'Haha... you didn't fail me, brother. Jealousy always rules.'
