Fan Fiction / Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Agonies of Love ❯ The Recovery ( Chapter 7 )

Seth stirs and moans, trying to clear his eyes. "Arivid," he says softly. "Arivid?" He calls when his first statement receives no response. "Arivid, where are you?" He lifts himself up on a shaky arm, aware of the bandaged one not holding his weight.

Arivid quickly jumps up at hearing his name, and crawls over to Seth, rubbing his back tenderly. "I'm right here, Seth. Calm down. I'm right here."

Seth cries out in happiness "Arivid, it was so dark where I went. I was all alone."

Arivid folds the Priest into his arms. "Calm now, I'm here for you. Don't worry anymore. Jhefre has bandaged your arm, and covered your back. As soon as you can stand, we need to hurry up to the Palace."

Seth looks over at Jhefre adoringly. "Thank you. I can never repay you for helping me."

A look of lust flashes in Jhefre's eyes. "Do not worry about it. We'll deal with that later." He stands and moves to Seth, checking over the wounds. "When I get my hands on whoever set your bones wrong, I'll strip them of their rank. It's unacceptable that these aren't healed properly. The only way to fix them is to break and reset. I don't think you want that right now."

Seth shakes his head. "Please, no. I must be able to repay you. I can't do that if I am in many casts. Arivid, please walk with me to the Palace." He stands on shaky legs and falls onto his face, growling at his misfortune.

Arivid kneels quickly, and sweeps Seth up. "Let us go. I'll carry you as far as the West Palace Gate. There are few guards there, so we should have few problems."

Jhefre snickers as he readies himself to leave. "I hope you two can make it that far before succumbing to lust." He nimbly dodges the wad of cloth thrown at his head. "Good bye boys! Don't do anything I wouldn't or most of the things I would do!" Jhefre shuts the door with a chuckle.
