? - Infected!Naib x Fem!Reader

Oh god.. I was about to be crushed by the one and only, Emma Woods.

~————~————~

After Emma almost crushed me to death everyone else came to see me and check on me. Eli(Seer) told me that he sometimes send his owl to check if I had awaken. Only Norton(Prospector) , Kevin(Cowboy) , Fiona(Priestress) and Naib didn't came to visit me while everyone else was here, but after a while Fiona, Kevin and Norton came to see me. It happened that they were busy with duties Emily and Emma had given them. Fiona had to do the cooking duty, while Norton and Kevin had to do some cleaning and help Emma in the garden. I asked them about Naib, but it happened that they didn't see him so often after he took me to the clinic. He only came for the matches, but wouldn't come for breakfast, lunch or dinner so Emily had to carry food to his room. Everybody asked Emily why Naib doesn't come to eat with everybody else, but he wouldn't say why.

~————~————~

While I was recovering Wu Chang came to the survivors side of the manor to apologize for how badly he had hurt me. I forgave him and chatted for a bit, but soon he had to leave because the owner of the manor would be very mad at him.
It's been almost a week and I had almost recovered fully. Everytime I was awake I would see the others come to the clinic after a match, but I never saw Naib...I asked William(Forward) if he played a match with him and he said that he did, but he didn't see him the entire match only at the end when him and Naib left. I also asked Aesop and Eli ,but they didn't have a match with him, neither did the others expect for Patricia(Enchantress), Jose(First Officer), Martha(Coordinator), Emily(Doctor), Kreacher(Thief) and Helena(The Mind's Eye).
It felt like he was trying to avoid seeing me.

~————~————~

After 2 days I finally recovered and was able to play matches again. While I was having dinner I noticed that Naib wasn't here as well as Emily.
"Hey guys. Where are Emily and Naib?"
"Did you already forget (Y/N)? Emily brings food to Naib's room since he doesn't want to eat with us."
Margaretha(Female Dancer) said to me.
"Oh yeah! I did forget...Thanks for reminding me though."
"No problem."
After that I couldn't really focus on eating my food. My head was filled with questions and worry about Naib. I mean, he started acting like that after the match we had with Wu Chang...
10 minutes have passed and dinner was almost finished, so I quickly ate the rest of my food and stood up.
"Thanks for the food Kurt! It was delicious!"
"O-Oh! Your welcome."
Kurt(Explorer) was on cooking duty today. When he was on his first cooking duty, Emily told me he was terrible at it, but soon after Fiona came to the manor his cooking managed to improve.
Anyways, after I thanked Kurt I dashed out of the dinning room. My worries were getting worse, my head was making all kind of scenarios. I ran up the stairs tripping on one, but luckly I didn't fall backwards. I fell forward, but managed to block the hard fall with my hands. They went numb for a moment, but I didn't care. I got up quickly and continued. Mercenarys' room was at the end of the hall. I didn't really understand why he choose that one, even if I asked him he would probably tell me 'It's non of your business.'
I ran down the hallway passing every other room. And before I even realize it, I was at Naib's room.
The aura around the door wasn't so welcoming... It was gloomy and scary. My heart skipped a beat, only by thinking of what will happen if I entered. I mean it's night outside and the scary aura around the door made it even better for my anxiety to jump. Shivers went down my spine. I slowly lifted my hand up to knock on the door...

*knock*....*knock*...

My blood ran cold.. I started shaking a bit, but the door didn't open. Was he sleeping?

*knock*... *knock*...

No answer yet again. I decided to just go inside the room, but butterflies in my stomach stopped me from doing so. I wasn't brave enough to face the scary lone wolf... But I knew I had to ,so I grabbed the doorknob and slowly pushed it down to enter the room. As I did that I peeked inside to see Naib sprawled on his bed, sleeping.
No wonder why he didn't answer. I was glad I didn't wake him up by knocking. Before entering I looked around the hallway to see if anyone is around, but it was empty so I let myself inside Mercenarys' room. I turned around and closed the door quitely. As I made my way to his bed I looked around his room. It was a mess. There were clothes all over the place, even cabinets were left open. As I looked to my left a saw an empty plate placed on the desk. It looks like he ate the food Emily gave him.
When I was in front of his bed, I stared at him. He looked very peaceful while sleeping. I knew it was wrong of me to come inside the room of someone who is still sleeping ,so I decided that after seeing that he is fine, to leave. When I was in front of the door about to grab the doorknob I deep voice spoke from behind me.
"What the hell are you doing in my room?.."
I jumped slightly by the deep hitched voice. I thought he was sleeping!
"I-I.. Uhh.. I just came to c-check how you were doing, since the others told me you haven't been showing up for breakfast, lunch and dinner.."
I didn't dare turn around. I could feel his gaze on me. That's when I heard movement from behind me.
"W-Well! I'll get going now! G-Good night Naib!"
My face was turning red from the embarrassing moment that was happening right now.
"Wait-"
As I opened the door wild, letting my left foot almost touch the ground of the hallway I was pulled inside the room again and the door was slammed shut. One of his arms was wrapped around me while the other one was pushed against the door. I could feel my heart hitting my ribcage. Heat ran to my cheeks making them red. Sadly the arm that was wrapped around me pressed me closer to the person behind me, making me look tinier to their size. The warm breath of the person hitting the back of my neck. I froze in place.
"Stay."
A deep hitched voice said. I didn't say anything in response, I just stayed there in his grasp. After awhile the other hand moved from the door to be wrapped around me in a hug. He placed his head on my right shoulder and held me close to him.
"N-Naib?..."
It was quite. He didn't say anything in response and it felt a bit awkward for me. My heart was literally hitting my ribcage now. You probably could even hear my heart beating without having to place your ear on my chest to hear it.
"Naib.. Is everything al–"
I was suddenly cut, by being turned around and picked up. Not in a bride style, but more likely me facing him, face to face, and his hands under my tights as a support of lifting me up. My hands were resting on his shoulders. I stared at his blue eyes while he stared at my (E/C) eyes. His face didn't make any expressions. It was calm and peaceful, the same I saw while he was sleeping. Then he turned us around, walking towards the bed. My face was burning deep shade of red now.
"H-H-Hold up Naib! W-What are you d-doing?! "
I stuttered out. I was kind of panicking since who knows what he will do. He carefully sat on the bed with me sitting in his lap and then fell to his left making me fall with him.
"You'll be sleeping here tonight.. It's too late for you to go to your room."
As he said that, he placed his hands behind my back and pulled me closer to him. He had one of my legs captured bewtween his legs. His tail was also resting on my waist, ever so slightly moving. I was facing his throat and could clearly see his collarbone.
"I missed you (Y/N). Ever since the last match we had together. I felt guilty and responsible for your coma."

"What?.. But you didn't do anything!"

"That's the exact problem.. I wasn't there to protect you. To save you from the hunters grasp when I was near."

"Naib..."

"The first few days of Emily telling us that you were in a coma I couldn't play nor' eat or drink. I felt numb."

"Naib I..-"

"If you thought I didn't want to visit you when you were awake.. Well you're wrong. I did came to visit you, but only at night while you were sleeping. I did the same even when you were still in come. Seeing your peaceful face made me relaxed and calm."

"N-Naib..."

"(Y/N)... I love you."

And like that I drifted into sleep. Even tho his voice was deep, it was gentle and comforting. But before I could fully fall asleep I managed mutter.

"I love you too"

...†THE END†...
