Chapter 318: Everyone gets a clean bill of health
"See? Don’t you feel much better now that you’ve listened to me?" Kellen blinked, staring up at Rhys who wasn’t quite clear as he sat up. He blinked a few more times, before slowly turning his head towards Taylor, who was wiping sweat off of her forehead.
The healing had gone without a hitch, but it was clear that something was a little off. It had taken Taylor a little longer because of the bullet piece that was still lodged in his thigh, and honestly, that was the main reason why she had wanted to give him drugs in the first place. She didn’t want to have to worry about accidentally hurting him more while she was poking around inside of him with her powers. With all that being said...
"How much did you give me?" Kellen slurred, and Taylor froze, before she started laughing.
"I must have given you a bit too much. It should fade shortly though. I gave you the amount that normal A Class Guides ask for. Sorry." Kellen blinked again, staring around the room with wide eyes and Rhys covered his mouth. Kellen was trying to swallow, but his mouth felt a little funny. When he had been lying down with his eyes closed, he had no idea it was this bad.
"Oh god. You look adorable. Like a little baby waking up from a nap." Rhys said and Kellen turned his gaze towards him. He narrowed it slowly and Rhys gasped, his eyes creasing at the corners as he smiled. "Stop. You look so cute. Your parents are in the room and I have a lot of work I still need to get done today." Kellen frowned, his fingers clutching onto the bedsheets below him as he wobbled from side to side slightly. God, was the room spinning, or was it him?
"I am just glaring at you." Kellen mumbled, his lips feeling a little strange. Damn it. How much had she really given him? He felt like he was floating. "H-How long does this last?" Kellen asked, trying to move his lips but he found that it was difficult. Fuck. Taylor cleared her throat, coming over to check Kellen out. She shone a light into his eyes, watching his reaction time and sighed.
"Well, it might last till the end of the day. I’m sorry Kellen. I should have considered that you would have a different reaction." Kellen shook his head slowly, the movement making him sway more.
"It’s...fine. I’m still newly an A Class. We’ll figure things out like this slowly. Fuck. I have so much work I need to do. I still have to go to class." Kellen muttered. "Brent’s all alone." Rhys was shaking, his whole body trembling as he tried to restrain himself.
"We can take you." Kellen’s Dad spoke up. "Now that we are no longer confined to the Medical Bay, as long as you give us directions, we can take you there. We can also keep an eye on you and let either Rhys or Taylor know if something strange happens. That way, all the busy people can do their busy things, and we won’t feel stupid just standing around." His Dad was smiling, but that only made Kellen frown more. Rhys let out a muffled sound, but Kellen didn’t look up at him.
