Again...

I was discharge from the hospital and now my parents and my doctor decided I should just be home hospitalized. So from now on, I would carry an oxygen with me wherever I go. Its too much effort on bringing the oxygen tank but thankfully, there's a trolley case for the oxygen tank for me to bring it occasionally.

But somehow, I felt like the lead actress in that movie the fault in our stars.

Me, Marcus and the new maid are the only ones home in the house for the mean time since mom and dad are managing our business. Since our newly hired maid was present around, Marcus needs to stay in his plushy teddy bear look.

Since it was a nice day to go out of the house. I stayed all day out in our backyard pool. Resting on our little swing with a soft cushion and a pillow under me, a glass of lemonade and a pencil and sketch book in hand. Nothing could make my day relaxing when suddenly, I felt an intense stare in my sides and that made me chuckle suddenly to myself. He can't hold on in his form so badly that he want to drill holes through my head. I stopped from what I was doing and face Marcus with an evil grin plastered in my face.

"Poor buddy..." I grinned. I grab him and place him on my lap. I started making funny poses on him which made his cute eyebrows furrow. I also made him twerk which I laugh out loud making our maid looked at me suspiciously. I just smiled at her and continued on making him dance in weird and funny steps when suddenly, a soft slap landed on my right cheek.

"Ouch... that hurt me." I faked and laugh again which made him literally angry for sure.

"Sir Allen, mind if I leave you for a sec? I have to do grocery shopping if you don't mind." The maid asked which I gave her a smile as an approval. She went back inside the house and I can practically hear the sound of the front door closing. And now that the maid's gone, I think I made a mistake to let the maid leave me. I felt something growing heavy in my arms and that's when I realize. 

Marcus is mad at me.

Without thinking, I accidentally throw him at the pool because I was afraid on what might he do to me. Marcus rose from the pool and glared hard at me which I only chuckled innocently. He hopped up back on the surface and brush back his white dazzling hair and add up the rays of the sun shining over him which made him look so hot. I felt sweat started to roll down my face and my body begun to blush as in literally.

"Your red."

"Its just the heat."

"Oh really?"

He smash both of his arms on either side of my head as he kept leaning in closer to my face whilst made me kept on blushing more. I looked away from him to hide my flush face.

"Figures it." He chuckled and remove his arms from either side of me. I burried my face further in my chair when suddenly a squeak came out of my mouth when he yank me up to his arms, carrying me bridal style while he went to grab my oxygen tank.

"Please put me down." I asked quietly as I kept my head down low from the embarrassment that I was feeling.

"You need to rest." He stated as he went back inside our house. I touch his chest and realize he's already dried up.

After walking up to the stairs into my bedroom, he pushed the door open and locked it and placed me on my bed, putting the oxygen tank on my right side. I lay down on my soft bed as he also climbed in next to me and hugged my waist.

I felt my breath hitch and my heart begun to pound inside my chest. What is this feeling? Is this what my parents told me? Love? But how come I didn't feel it with my parents, I can't explain but its different around Marcus. Its like whenever I see him, my hearts going to leap? Like that?

"Marcus?"

"Yes?"

"Can I asked you something?"

"Yes. Anything for you." His hold tighten around me making me brawl my head out. Ofmoh! He's going to hear my dear heart.

"Uumm, c–can you d–define love?"

Silence—

.

.

Silence—

"Uumm— N–neverm—" I was taken aback when he climbed on top of me making my face heat up yet again.

He's now straddling my hip as he bury both his hands on either side of my head while looking at me with a blank stare. You can't read what he's going to do next since you can't predict him because of his blank expression.

"M—marcus?"

"Love revolve around the world Allen, its what makes us bind up in unity and peace." He declared with a blank expression making me feel somewhat… disappointed?

I looked away from him, realizing that I was just getting my hopes up with something I cannot gain. I know he's just a toy, but I've grown attached and in loved with this damn toy who turns into a human.

But expecting something isn't something that you shouldn't reconsider because from the moment he took my hand I finally thought of something that I should look up to in my life.

"Allen, the love I feel for you is different from any other love a human can uphold. It is the feeling of wanting to cherish someone and be with them the rest of their lives." He slowly lead my hand and place it against his chest but I felt nothing.

"I may not have a heart like a human would have but deep inside me, I've grown attached to you. Even I don't have a human heart, you make me feel like I have one. And to add it up…" he trailed as his eyes begun softening in front of me.

"Your love brought me to life."
