Chapter 1
?????
Hello, this is my first chat story
?????
My english isn't great, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes while writing, and please do point out if there are any mistakes.
?????
I wanted to write a high school bl so I wrote this. This is my original idea btw✌. Wrote this story for my bl girlies.
The sounds of birds chirping filled the room as the morning was dawn to approach.
Atticus (MC)
"It's morning already"
Atticus (MC)
(stretch)"ugh school is about to start too"
Atticus (MC)
"(sigh)I'd have to deal with that brat Harpar again😒"
Atticus reached for his phone, which sat dark and silent on the bed stand when suddenly it sprang to life. A loud ringtone which he saved especially for his father ,shattered the morning silence. Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ . Atticus stared at it for a bit.
The sudden noise was jarring his still fuzzy brain. Finally he picked it up and answered.
Verstappen (Atticus father)
"Helo son"
Atticus (MC)
"so what with the sudden call. Is your business trip with Harper's family over.🤔(he wondered)"
Verstappen (Atticus father)
"No we still have 2-3 days before it ends"
Verstappen (Atticus father)
"Atticus,we were told by Harpar's parents that he is seriously ill and needs someone to take care of him."
Atticus (MC)
*He is sick* "He probably can still take care of himself"
Verstappen (Atticus father)
"He can't ,you need to go there and take care of him"
Atticus (MC)
"what but dad I-I am busy"(he muttered so as to quickly try to think of an excuse to reject his dad)
Verstappen (Atticus father)
"Atticus"
Verstappen (Atticus father)
"He lives just next door and not to mention we are gonna return soon,can't you even do this much"
Though Atticus initially rejected ,but after a lot of his dad's insistence ,he finally agreed to take care of Harpar until his parents will arrive from their trip
Atticus went to Harpar's house and ringed the doorbell, after a few moments ,the door finally opens.
Harpar opens the door with slightly red cheeks and a tired face, it's clear how sick he is.
Seeing Atticus there his face suddenly changes from tired to a mix of anger and shock.
Harpar (ML)
"What are you doing here?"
Harpar frowns and is completely shocked by Atticus sudden appearance.
Atticus (MC)
"Don't make that face,your parents asked me to take care of you😒"
Harpar's face twisted into a displeased expression. He stepped aside reluctantly, allowing Atticus to enter.
The house was silent expect for the soft hum of the air conditioning. He closed the door behind Atticus and leaned against it, crossing his arms.
Harpar (ML)
"Great, just what I needed"
Chapter 2
Harpar (ML)
"Great, just what I needed"
Atticus (MC)
"Hah, I don't want to do this either . Instead of whining, sit down so I can check your temperature."
Harpar (ML)
(Rolled his eyes while uncrossing his arms)
Stomping towards the sofa in the living room, Harpar flopped down dramatically, pulling a blanket over himself. He was clearly not happy about his situation.
Atticus (MC)
*He's such a baby🙄*(grabbed the thermometer from the table nearby)
As Atticus approached him with the thermometer ,he suddenly grabbed Atticus's wrist
Through that action, confusion and annoyance rose in Atticus
Atticus (MC)
"What are you doing? I am busy, let me do my work🤨"
Harpar (ML)
"I'm not a damn baby😠"
He snapped, pulling his wrist away from Atticus .
His forehead was sweaty and his nose was slightly red. He was obviously sick.
Harpar (ML)
"I can take care of myself."
He growled , trying to push Atticus away when he got closer with the thermometer.
Atticus (MC)
"You are sick and I need to get this done"
Atticus explained with his insistence and stubbornness.
Harpar huffed and turned his head away , pouting like a child, which Atticus found surprisingly cute.
Atticus (MC)
*Wait what, cute🤨 this brat, no never*
As Atticus got lost in his head , Harpar muttered under his breath
Harpar (ML)
"Stupid families making stupid deals"
Despite his protests he didn't push Atticus away again when he reached for his forehead with the thermometer
Atticus (MC)
*His skin feels hot to the touch*
Harpar (ML)
"Don't touch me with that thing..."
Atticus (MC)
"Then how will I check your temperature. Come on, stop whining already"
He exclaimed dramatically, sitting up straighter but still under the blanket. His voice sounded hoarse and congested.
Harpar (ML)
"I'm not whining! You are the one who's being annoying!"
Atticus (MC)
*When will he stay still🙂*
Despite his complaints, Harpar stayed still as Atticus placed the thermometer on his forehead
Atticus (MC)
"Hm, you definitely seem sick"
The thermometer bepped , showing a temperature of 112.5 Fahrenheit.
Harpar frowned and snatched the thermometer from Atticus hand's
Harpar (ML)
(pout)"So what if I'm sick? It's none of your business."
Chapter 3
Atticus (MC)
"It's my business since I been asked to take care of you"*you gotta behave Atticus behave😒*
Harpar's expression darkened at Atticus words, his eyes flashed with anger and embarrassment.
Harpar (ML)
"I don't need someone to take care of me! Especially not someone I hate!"
He threw the blanket off himself abruptly, revealing his pajama-clad body which was clearly running a fever.
Harpar (ML)
"Just leave me alone!"
Atticus (MC)
"Calm down , you are making things harder for me "*🙂 dad will scold me again if I cause trouble*
Harpar (ML)
(Runs his hand through his sweaty hair frustratingly )
Harpar (ML)
"Then leave! No one asked you to come here and play nurse!"
Atticus (MC)
*His voice is hoarse. Despite his tough exterior he looks quite pale and weak😦*
Harpar (ML)
"Stop acting like you care!"
Atticus (MC)
*😒I swear,if dad didn't asked me to take care of him*
Atticus (MC)
"I care okay"
Atticus (MC)
"Now, let's go to the bed so you can sleep" (hands up)
Harpar (ML)
"No! I am not going to bed like some damn child! I can sleep on the couch just fine."
Harpar growled, while pushing Atticus's hands away. He was being stubborn, but his body was clearly giving out.
Atticus (MC)
"Come on Harpar first take your medicine, I know you are a good guy" *I don't want to do this either, you brat😒*
Harpar's expression slightly softened at Atticus unexpected gentle tone. He hated that Atticus saw him like this — weak and sick.
Harpar reluctantly nodded, allowing Atticus to help him up and lead him to the bed. As he sat down , he grudgingly accepted the medicine Atticus gave him.
Atticus (MC)
"Come on, just take the medicine and you will be okay"
Harpar swallowed the medicine without complaint, his throat hurting too much to protest. He layed down on the bed,pulling the blanket to his chin. His usual posture was gone, replaced with a vulnerable curve to his spine. He closed his eyes, his voice barely above a whisper...
Atticus (MC)
*I am too tired to go home*
Atticus (MC)
"Hey,I need to take care of you so I am sleeping here tonight"
Harpar (ML)
(suddenly eyes snapped open👁👁)
Harpar (ML)
(shocked and uncomfortable)
Harpar (ML)
(Cheeks flushed slightly pinkish-red)😳
Harpar (ML)
"Absolutely not! You're sleeping here? Over my dead body!"
Harpar (ML)
"Cough!Cough!"
Atticus (MC)
"calm down , I've got to keep a promise you know"
Atticus (MC)
"Now move aside so I can sleep with you."
Atticus (MC)
"Who knows when you might need something in the middle of your sleep."
Harpar's jaw clenched tight, clearly unhappy with Atticus decision. He moved over reluctantly, giving Atticus just enough room to squeeze into the bed beside him. The idea of someone sleeping next to him made him uncomfortable, especially someone he hated.
Atticus (MC)
"hm let's sleep"
Atticus (MC)
"Make sure to wake up at night so we can eat dinner."
