Chapter 275. False Hope

When Bassena opened his eyes, he realized he was still laying his head on Zein's chest, and still had his arms around the guide's torso, while a hand had been gently caressing his hair.

He closed his eyes again, absorbing the blissful moment that felt like a dream. Zein had always been an active person in the morning, so it was rare to have the guide still in the bed with him when he was already awake, and Bassena wanted to appreciate every single second of it.

"You're going to sleep again?"

But of course, Zein had enough experience to know if someone was really asleep or not. That being said, instead of opening his eyes and waking up, Bassena only tightened his hold around the guide's upper body, which rewarded him a light flick on his temple, but also a crisp sound of a melodious laugh.

"Fine, I'll just order some delivery then," Zein, who was already playing with his commlink, swept his fingers over the hovering screen.
