Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Nyx’s soft hands grasped Theon’s injured hand, and his heart went wild, the tips of his fingers tingling. The pain from the cut didn’t even register.

Theon wasn’t exactly trying to hurt himself on purpose, though. He’d just been a little careless, lost in thought, and sliced his hand.

With his reflexes, he could’ve stopped immediately, only cutting the skin slightly. But when he saw Nyx getting closer and closer to Zayne, he made a decision and gave himself a real cut.

It wasn’t a big deal, just a small wound, because he didn’t want to freak Nyx out by making it too serious.

Theon couldn’t figure out why Nyx had been avoiding him lately while getting all buddy–buddy with Zayne.

He guessed in his mind, ‘Is it something my uncle said during their video call that upset her? Has she grown to hate me?‘

In a desperate attempt to grab her attention, he figured if he messed something up, even if it was something silly like cutting his hand, she’d have to focus on him again–even if it meant getting scolded for being clumsy by her.

To his surprise, Nyx didn’t scold him at all. She didn’t get mad that he’d messed up. Instead, she rushed to his side like he’d been seriously hurt.

She cleaned the wound for him and looked around for medical machines. She even asked with a trembling voice, “Does it hurt a lot?”

The cut wasn’t long but deep, on his left index finger. When Nyx saw all that blood, her eyes turned red, and she looked so worried that Theon couldn’t help but feel a strange warmth spread through him.

Her eyes,

round and doe–like, shimmered with tears, filled with concern and tenderness.

Meanwhile, the viewers went nuts and started to curse Theon.

[Did she cry???? No, don’t cry, sweetie!]

[You’re disgusting, Theon!! You made Nyx cry!!]

[Is she scared of blood? Must’ve really freaked her out, poor Nyx.]

[I wish I could jump through the screen and comfort her… Zayne, you better comfort her!]

Actually, Nyx wasn’t crying, but her eyes were red from the worry. There weren’t any tears falling.

She leaned down and blew gently on Theon’s wound, saying, “Let me blow on it. You’ll feel better.”

Theon was completely dumbfounded. A warm, tingling sensation spread from his fingertips all the way up his spine, making his whole body stiff, like he was a stone, a very hot stone.

The comments exploded with more content.
