Heal Me

"*Ahchoo*" Dominic sneezed loudly, Axel flinching in response.

"Your highness?" Axel turned around and gazed at Dominic in concern, "are you ok?"

"It was just a sneeze, Axel. Seriously, you worry too much," Dominic sighed.

"It's because you are someone to worry about," Axel sighed, reworking the blanket on Dominic and pulling it up to his head.

'Someone to care for?' Dominic thought to himself, repeating Axel's sentence in his head.

"Do you feel cold? Do you have a cold? How many more blankets do we need?" Axel asked as he continued to try and fix the blankets.

"Cold… Blankets," Dominic gasped, his facial muscles stretching as if he was opening his eyes, "We need thousands of blankets."

"Excuse me?" Axel muttered, "a thousand blankets? Right now?

"No... more than a thousand, we might need 800,000 blankets or more," Dominic replied, his voice trailing off in thought.
