Chapter 5 – New day, new week, new month?. Or how to not start an adventure.
After an unknown interval of deep, but needful slumbers, a good night’s sleep in short. I came to my senses when the sun was just about to lay down. Okay maybe the drug was too much, it's been at least a day since the sun is at the same place as when I fell asleep.
As I was getting ready to leave the warmth of the duvet, I noticed something was off along the move, holding and pulling me back seemingly.
“Tch! Did she chained me to the bed to prevent me from escaping? That’s going a little too far, what if I ne---HIIIIiiiiiiiiiiii!!! A ghost!!!… Wait, is that you Lily?”
From the side on which the opposing force was exerted, Lily’s head was sticking out, resting on the mattress. I could now see the reason for my hindrance. Collapsed against the bed, Lily had her arms extended toward me, she was holding and squeezing my hand, categorically refusing to let it go. Yikes! Cold!! Her skin was pale, almost white, like all blood had left her body... And she seems to have lost some weight too? She is obviously in a dire state, clothes and hair are in a mess, dirty and smelly, like she didn’t wash for a week, dark circles and traces of moisture can be found under her eyes, did she cry? Oh god, what have I done, did I overdose and she mourned me until she can't take it anymore? Okay, I really should not have used the drug!!
She was sleeping like her soul didn’t have any energy left… Oi Oi Oi, is she still alive?
A weak pulse and slow breathing quickly reassured my doubt, while allowing me to discard my dark thoughts. What would her sister make me suffer if she really died one me? By my fault! I stroked Lily’s cheek and patted her head as a mother would do for her suffering child.
Oh god!! Forgive me, as I have sinned…. again, and made a girl cry and worry for myself almost to the point of dying! Oddly enough, praying made me feel better, maybe I should try again some time.
Making use of the situation, I did what I couldn’t finish on our first encounter a year ago. No, not the harassment and molestation part, I’m not that insensitive to do that to a dying girl who ended up in that situation for my sake. I just took properly and delicately care of her, giving her a bath and clean clothes, then goes to the bed, feeding her mouth to mouth some soup due to force majeure, staying by her side, weeping her sweats when she had a fever, and holding her against me when she was cold, for the whole night during.
Early in the morning she got back some color, and midday her pulse was regular, so I allowed myself some rest too and fell asleep, keeping her close to me.
Not for once, I woke up at sunset, opening my eyes to lily face, in a much better shape than yesterday. Her situation seemed to be back to normal, like all has been an illusion.
She was staring at me with a gentle smile, not saying anything.
“Hi, you look better, are you fine now?”
“Yes, thanks for the care, how nice of you.” She said with a feeble voice which would make one think the opposite.
“You appeared in very poor conditions, I even thought you were done for.”
“I overdid it a bit while healing you, that’s why, don’t worry this won’t happen again I’ll make sure of that.”
Did she mean she would stop from injuring me on every single occasion? It could actually help, unfortunately I don’t think she can help herself for that. And if she plans to stop me from taking drugs, she only has to stop her sis from giving me sudden mental breakdowns, I would have never used that on myself otherwise.
“Nah, it’s my fault in the first place, my hardly safe only just-invented self-made sleeping compound named ‘the sleeping beauty can’t wake up, even by the kiss’ was a bit stronger than I had anticipated.”
Well I was obsessed with eternal sleep at the time, so not really, in fact it’s quite a good result I believe. But strangely, I don’t think it would result in this situation, did I really overdose? I didn't expect it to be enough to put Lily in this state just by healing me even so.
“Quite dangerous mixture you have here, you slept for nearly 2 and half weeks, I couldn’t wake you up whatever I did. This is the first time that I encountered this kind of case, you didn’t have any physical injury, so my recovery magic was not very effective. Moreover, my method of healing is a bit special and didn’t fit the situation at all... If not, making things worse. I’m profoundly mortified and deeply apologize for. Because of my inexperience and bad control, the after effects were draining your energy even further and I was so distracted by your state that I didn’t understand right away.”
Although remaining in bed, she stood up, only to kneel down and get in dogeza. You really make me feel guilty there… I don’t think you’re wrong, had I not used alchemy and mixed all kinds of elements with the drug and sleeping pills, you wouldn’t have had a problem likely enough.
“I was terrified, so ashamed and dispirited. I didn’t know what to do and was just about to ask for some help. But I couldn’t let you alone cuz sometimes your blood pressure was so weak that you ended up in a near death state and I had to use all I could to keep you up and force your blood to flow to prevent brain death.”
Okay, the drug was clearly overstepping… and the alchemy overkill.
“Do you have any extra of the mixture by chance, or the recipe? I would like to do some experimentation and test if possible, so this situation never happens ever again.”
“No sorry, I did it on a whim and didn’t write it down. As for leftovers, I fear I drank it all.”
Nevertheless….. the result exceeded all my expectations, I’ll keep the formula for the time being, maybe with some adjustment and improvement, I can make so I can’t wake up but stay alive for a verrrrrrry long time, a few years should make it, or maybe even decades if I can preserve my body… No... Downright, maybe I should just directly invest into cryogenic sleep and start some research so I can pass a hundred years or two, just to be sure?
“Yet, I feel good for a person who stayed in bed for so long though, how’s that possible, did you feed me like I did with your mouth... no, given your condition, something like blood exchange instead?”
“So ya did mouth feed me hehe <3, I was wondering, as I was not starving. You stole my first kiss pervert <3 I hope you take your responsibilities if I end up pregnant.” She responded with a half joking half seductress tone.
Hey, you can’t expect a baby just from that, we’re not in a fairy tale! Well anyway thanks to wifey, I can’t make babies anymore in any case, not to disappoint you but that won’t ever happen even if we go all the way. No way I’m gonna fall in love with a psycho...can I? Well at least not before completely giving up my sanity!! God pity me and give me your strength!!
Just like last time, I feel better all of a sudden, maybe I should convert, maybe all about my situation is just a challenge to put myself to the test!! If that's it, thank god! I won’t give up! Never!… As if! God has better things to do than looking after my pitiful self.
Poke–
Hey wait what’s with this feeling… Hey hey hey, I know I asked, but I wasn't talking about this type of strength. A strong and straight reaction came in answer to my prayer, a proper and absolute erection. I was horny!
“Otherwise, yes I had to resort to something like blood transfer, yes…and..hey are you listening, are you okay hero? Did you have a relapse? Can I help? Or did I need to take out the cutlery?”
As I brought my attention back to her….Wwaaah! Why did her face appear so sexy all of sudden!! I almost disregarded her threats!
Calm down, body calm down, I know that I didn’t do it for a long time and I’m not used to it but! Anyway, Lily is...not genuinely a bad deal, I grant you, but way too much threatening. Just to remind us, she just spoke about taking out cutlery, only because of a few seconds of distraction!
“No, I’m okay, sorry, I was embarrassed by the fact that such a pretty girl like you ended in such a dire state because of me.”
“Awe<3, sweet, you’ll make me blush”
Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? And blush? You are outright making a creepy smile again. Sexy, I grant you, but scary.
“If you are so conscious about that, let’s go eat together as an apology then. I am so hungry that I could eat a whole cow”
Didn’t you say you weren’t starving a few seconds ago? Well, I’m the same here, all of a sudden I did have a faim de loup. Also, that should help cool down a bit.
“Let’s do that, the bill’s on me!… Or should I say. But I have no money left, I’m afraid I can’t afford anything else other than porridge.”
With that we began to prepare to leave for dinner, as well as converse about future operations.
“Doesn't matter, I’ll pay. We are already husband and wife, let’s make a joint account. Oh! And just one last question before we get ready to go.”
“Yes?”
“Can you explain? Why the hell am I in a bunny outfit with belly-transparent leotards?”
“Well It was necessary to dress you after the bath, so you don’t catch a cold. You were already in pretty bad shape yet and I didn’t want to worsen it. As I didn’t have other clothes myself, since I ended up selling them for money, all that was left to me were sex-fetish like clothes, I mean cosplays, with a bit of exposure. Don’t blame me, I only had your good in mind and nothing else.”
“Couldn’t you sell these in the first place? Well at least this proves you didn’t change and stay true to yourself no matter the situation. I understand that part. Now then, why do I have small bandages on my private parts in place of underwear and why did you swap my tights with open crotch pantyhose? Was that needful as well? Some sort of parasitic interest maybe? <3 Have you finally resigned yourself and wanted to satisfy your carnal desire so badly? I’m ready anytime babe, don’t ask, just jump when you can’t hold back anymore < 3.”
“… Anyway, let’s eat after you change.” Fuck I’m really horny now… And I don’t think dinner time will be enough to move on.
It was not until much later that I learned the meaning of this awful state of her following my treatment, and what really took place during my weeks long coma and all my supposedly recovery sessions.
