Nolan was about to open the teleportation portal but Ashton jumped out of his bed and stopped him from opening it by saying : "Wait, I'm sorry for my behavior, but you just arrived, do you have to leave right away, can't we spend some more time together ?"

Nolan winced slightly as he had just grabbed his forearm which had been recently burned by a spell made of darkness particles and he had only planned to go tomorrow to see Ashton's parents who were the only ones who had the ingredients to craft the regeneration potion high grade needed to heal this kind of wound.

Of course, even though this slight wince could have gone unnoticed by everyone else, it did not escape Ashton's notice and he immediately frowned before saying : "Show me."historical

Nolan shook his head but he still put the Teleportation Talisman paper back in his magic bag. Rather than go back to his room alone to mope, he might as well spend a little more time with his little rabbit first, so he said to him : "What's the point, you know you can't do anything about that kind of injury."

Ashton took his hand and made him sit on his bed, he sat down next to him and took out an ointment from his magic bag that he himself had created, and that even his parents still didn't know about, and he again asked him : "Show me, although this ointment will not be able to heal you completely, it should relieve your burns."

Nolan raised an eyebrow and asked : "Is this another one of your inventions ?"

Ashton nodded, he said with a sudden look of seriousness : "Soon I will be able to craft regeneration potion high grade for you, I have already planted, grown, and saved all the necessary ingredients, I just need a few more months to be able to craft high grade potions.

In the meantime I have created this ointment that should give you some relief, let me try it on you, I'm sure it's effective."

Nolan paled upon hearing this, and he asked worriedly : "Damn Ash, how come you're so close to being able to craft high grade potions."

Ashton shrugged and said : "I told you before that I was bored out of my mind at my parents' house and besides crafting potions and inventing new remedies there was nothing to do.

Now it's different, I have friends and new activities, and even if you're not happy that I'm learning to fight, and that I have a duo fight partner, it was either that or training to do spells fights."

Nolan could hardly imagine how many potions he had to craft to get to where he was now and when he heard him talk about duo fights and spells fights again he sighed helplessly and told him : "I don't know anyone more stubborn, obstinate and determined than you."

Ashton smirked and motioned for him to show him his wound, Nolan finally complied and removed his clothes until he was bare chest in front of him.

He was not only wounded on his forearm, he also had burns all over his right side, whether on his chest or on his back.

When he saw Ashton's reaction he was very amused, his face turned crimson red and then turned white as a sheet of paper when he discovered his wounds.

Nolan then said to him to tease him : "Always so impatient to fight my little rabbit."

But Ashton surprised him again, looking at him with a determined look : "More than ever."

Nolan frowned not very pleased with this answer but before he could lecture him again he felt his fingers on his skin spread his special ointment on the wound on his forearm and he felt once again his blood boiling in his veins.

Damn, he thought, but what was wrong with him in the end, why was he reacting so strongly to a simple touch.

Fortunately Ashton snapped him out of his thoughts that were no longer innocent at all by asking him : "So, are you feeling better ?"

Nolan looked at his forearm where Ashton had applied his ointment and indeed the burn was already fading and although it did not disappear as he had said to him, the coolness he felt then ended up relieving him completely.

He looked at him in astonishment and amazement as always before such a genius, if he wasn't already sure that Ashton did not have the Pentagram Mark on him, he would have suspected him to be the new bearer for sure.

He said honestly, smiling and ruffling his hair affectionately : "Ash that's amazing ... It's almost as effective as the regeneration potion high grade."

Ashton smiled at him, also satisfied by this result, his parents had been telling him since he was little that knowledge was power and they were right.

With his knowledge of medicinal herbs and magic herbs that his parents had forced him to learn since he was a child, he had already managed to create very effective remedies and ointments.

He then said to him having difficulty taking his eyes off his perfectly sculpted body : "Let me apply it to the wounds on your back, you can do it yourself for the ones you have there."

Nolan's smile widened when he saw that Ashton had blushed again as he showed him his bare chest, but he didn't try to tease him further and he turned so that he could apply the ointment to the burns he had on his back.

Nolan felt his body ignite again at Ashton's touch, and the pain he felt was quickly replaced by a sense of well-being.

He hadn't yet decided what to do with this newfound and surprising attraction to his little rabbit, but since he was an impulsive person and wanted to spend more time with him, he said as Ashton handed him the pot to apply the ointment to the rest of his burns himself : "Can I stay with you tonight ?"

Ashton looked at him dumbfounded and repeated not sure if he understood correctly : "You want to stay with me ... tonight ? All the night ?"

Nolan laughed in front of his dumbfounded face but he nodded while taking the ointment from him, and as he began to apply it on his last burns, he said to him : "I don't want to be alone tonight, so it's either you give me room in your bed, or I'll find an easy conquest and make her scream all night, what do you prefer ?"

Nolan didn't really wait for his answer and he didn't need to, his eyes alone expressed everything he needed to know, and anyway, he had already decided to spend the night here with his little rabbit .... With no ulterior motive of course.
