《There Is A Monster Among Us》Chapter 12: Antitoxin
Advertisement
Until now, I've only thought of Pink as a very reliable subordinate. No, that's not quite right. I am aware of how attractive Pink is, yet, I do not hope to initiate.
What is happening now? I'm about to kiss a subordinate while she is unconscious. Wait, saying it that way may cause some weird misunderstanding.
I'm just going to make her drink this antitoxin. Yes, what I'm doing is necessary. If I don't act, I'm going to lose her.
If she starts to hate me for this, I don't care. If she sues me, I think I'll win the case. I'll use my contacts if need be.
Resolving myself, I put some antitoxin potion into my mouth without swallowing. Since her head lies on the bed slightly, the slant shall help for better flow. Then, I make sure to balance Pink's head with my hand while I hold her cheek with my other. My lips are a mere few inches away from hers.
Do it, Brad Brown. Just do it!
But before I can remove the gap between us, Pink starts choking and therefore coughs, spitting all the antitoxin that I poured in her mouth earlier all over my face.
"Wha- what's happening?" Pink surveys the room, although still weak and disoriented.
I reflexively swallow the liquid in my mouth. "H-hey! You're awake!" Yes, Captain Obvious.
Seeing that she still can't get up, I remember the objective of my presence here.
"Here, drink this quick." I give Pink another vial, helping her raise it to her mouth as I watch her gulp in satisfaction. When that's done, I hand her a Health Potion which she also takes with gratitude.
"Lieutenant, thank you for coming," she exhales and inhales deep. "But may I ask why your face is wet?"

I wipe my face in a hurry and looking at my palm, it is the purple liquid she spat on me. Yep. Pink probably remembers that she choked earlier with something. And one must know that if that something is now on my face, then that can only mean that my face was close to hers.
Pink chuckled. "Were you perhaps planning to feed me the antitoxin the romantic way?"
"Uhh..."
Pink turns serious. "Sir, you must know that only works in stories. In practice, it will just choke the patient more often than not." She brings out a thin tube from her item bag and waves it in front of me. "This thing should work just fine. What do you think we have this for?"
Seeing the tube, I remember that I probably have one in my item bag as well. I frown to hide my embarrassment.

She is the reincarnation of a Greek god's former lover. Did anyone bother to tell her? No... at least not until the god shows up at her door.I couldn't explain his features any way besides perfect. He was probably the most handsome man I had ever met. Something about him was familiar, as though I had known him for years.One hand still grasping mine, he moved his other into my hair, stroking softly. His warmth surrounding, his touch calmed me.I couldn't move. I could barely breathe. My mind was blank. It was like nothing I ever felt before. I was lost in his eyes, in his warmth, in the feeling that I was safe. At that moment I wished to stay forever. I also knew better than to remain here. However, my muscles went numb under the warmth of his hands. I couldn't move.I layed there him stroking my hair in shock for what in my head felt like forever. Eventually, he leaned down and spoke into my ear making my whole body shiver."My dear, I have waited for this moment for years," his voice was beautiful, strong and warm. Like the wind on a summer day. He had humor in his eyes and I found it extremely unsettling.There was something off about his tone. Almost like I was dreaming, but I knew it wasn't one. Something powerful and dangerous was in his voice... Ohhh no! This wasn't some random mortal standing over me. This.... this... this was a god...Credit to Rick Riordan for building such a wonderful world to put stories into and creating some of these amazing characters.
