“What?”
“Oh. Hay Hay, your awake!”
Vy smiled at Hayden, having been so lost in thought he hadn’t actually noticed him waking up again after his nap. He had slept a little, but mostly he had been thinking, and not about the thing he thought would be on his mind, but a way to get to talk to Hayden about doing something with school and becoming the caretaker of the shelter in more than just one way.
“So what is on your mind?”
“Oh, well, what to do after school and so on, I mean, it’s not that far until graduation.“
“Ah, I always did wonder what you wanted to do when you were done with school”
“You did?”
“Yeah.”
Vy looked at him, this was something he had to admit he had thought a lot about. Especially after, the fact that Hayden’s parents had taken on the role of his caretaker, as it had opened so many doors that he just never had before.
“I don’t really know… “
“Well, think about it, what do you feel you are good at, and what do you think you could use that for?”
“Hmh….”
Vy puts his hand gently over Hayden’s forehead, to just see if he is getting too warm, or if they are fine as they are. Felix resting his head on his hand like he often did whenever he wasn’t feeling all too well. Even Lobo had made his place on the end of the bed with them, which Chris had commented on when he had checked on them earlier.
“I know one thing you are very good at.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, taking care of me.”
“Oh…”
Vy looked at Hayden, he liked caring for him more than anyone else, but he did like caring for others too. Like that time at school, he had told Hayden about, when one of the mages had hurt themselves with a spell, he had been the one to take care of him until they shipped him off to the hospital. Hayden looked at him, gently scratching Felix behind the ear waiting for him to think and to see if maybe he came up with the same idea.
Hayden smiled, it was always so fun to see Vy when something really hit him, waiting for it as he turns towards him with a huge smile.
“I know! I want to be a doctor!”
“Doctor Yvreon… has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?”
