The clinic was oddly quiet today. The nurses were just sitting around, chatting while some were taking a nap.
The first two by the door were the first to spot Rin and immediately swarmed him with concern.
"Rin! Are you okay?"
"Are you feeling better? We heard you had a fever,"
"Do you need another check-up?"
Rin laughed softly... touched by the attention.
"I'm fine. Thank you all."
"We miss you, Rin,"
"Yes. It's so hectic without you,"
"Haha," Rin just laughed, rubbing his neck that was still burning. The kiss that the Duke planted on that spot before he left. Rin didn't just feel his lips, but he felt tongue and teeth, softly scraping his skin.
'That cursed Duke!'
After a few minutes of chatting and teasing... Elna ordered them to focus on their job, even though there were no patients around. Then, he made his way to Theron's office.
Theron was behind his desk... but the moment he saw Rin... he was on his feet.
"You're awake." His eyes softened. "Thank goodness."
