Sunlight filtered through the soft baby blue curtain, carrying a hint of the morning freshness mixed with the aroma of soil washed by last night's drizzle.
The soft light travelled through and illuminated the face of a little boy, making his thick eyelashes flutter as he frowned. His wrinkled brow somehow managed to bring childishness and softness to his otherwise cold doll face. He slowly opens his eyes, showing confusion before slowly regaining clarity as he takes in his situation and surrounding.
"I didn't die? "He thought to himself and gave a start as he felt the softness under him and the warmth and milkyscent beside him. He turns to his side, inhaling sharply as his actions pulled on his wounds and at the sight that greeted him. At his side, a baby doll lay softly facing towards him. Her white tender face has blushed cheeks while her breathing fans her long black hair lying across her face.
The quilt is pooled around her feet, testament to the fact that she kicked it in her sleep sometime during the night. She is wearing a pink onesie dinosaur pajamas with a big tail on her butt, showcasing her cuteness. To the boy's horror, he found out that he is also wearing a onesie, a yellow bear pajamas.
A rare expression, embarrassment, cross his face, cracking his always stoic face that have been trained to remain expressionless at all times. He recovered quickly, looking around as he takes in the place he was in.
It was obviously a child's room. With a single wide bed covered with soft blue quilt embroidered with Lily flowers. A big wardrobe painted in white with stickers all over it. A sliding window with lace curtains, and a Japanese kotatsu inlaid with blue futon lay on the white rug beside the bed. Under the windows, a bookshelf filled with children's book, and beside it is a shelf with small toys ranging from small cars, barbies, and soft toys.
He turns his head back at the bed. The bed is wide. Although there are already two children on it, and it was filled with teddy bears, it still has space. He stared intently at the baby girl, thinking deeply, light flashing on his eyes.
After a moment, he sighed, slowly leaning back on the bed, crossing his right arm over his eyes, laughing softly,.That laugh containins incredulity.
Just then, a knock sounded at the bedroom's door, pounding rhythmically, then the doorknob slowly twist,opening the door, showing a tall handsome man with beautiful phoenix eyes.
His facial features indicated his Asian ancestry. His jade like face was adorn with a gentle smile as he looked towards the bed, stagnating slightly as he met eyes with the little boy.
The man then remembered that they had rescued a wounded boy last night, and his wife has placed him at his daughter's bedroom,despite his objections . Well, he should have been used to it long ago. He didn't have much say in this household, his wife being the boss, followed by his daughter.
He felt slightly uncomfortable at the thought that his baby princess was lying beside an unrelated boy, even though they are basically just kids. The smile reluctantly returns as he tried to be friendly.
"Hey there, how are you? Are you feeling much better? We found you on our doorstep. Sorry that we didn't bring you to the hospital, we can't afford ."
He said,shrugging his shoulders helplessly. " But don't worry, I had experience in treating wounds",he paused. His phoenix eyes then turned sharp, destroying the gentle image he had presented earlier.
"Especially gunshot wounds. Now tell me, who are you and why are you in that state last night? "The handsome man questioned as he stride forward with grace, his confident stride like that of a cheetah, graceful and elegant. When he arrive at the bedside, he bends his knee, bringing his face at a level with the boy who is now sitting upright. They looked at each others eyes, both carrying coldness and caution.
