Chapter # 16

"Don't worry, you will get used to it." He said without looking at me.

"And what if I don't?" I asked timidly. He stopped eating and looked at me. My heart skipped a beat by his icy gaze.

“You will, I am here for you.” He reassured me but his eyes were concealed by those thick walls of darkness and I cannot encrypt what emotions he is trying to show me.

“Don’t overthink. Just relax, okay?” His normal self seems intimidating to me. I gulped by his piercing gaze over mine, taking over my senses.

“I.. I..” I tried to speak but he put his hand over mine and I felt startled, averting my gaze, I pulled my hand back.

"I-I have eaten.. Can I go to sleep?" I asked, tugging my hair behind my ear and looking away from him.

"What are you scared of? Why do you get scared?" He asked sternly.

“Am I scaring you?” He asked softly but I shook my head instantly.
