\u201cJust give him the water, you love-sick puppy!\u201d Logan exclaims. At the blond\u2019s incredulous and reddening expression, he adds, \u201cThis is me helping you, dude.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s doubtful, Wilson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAre you suggesting I have anything but the best of intentions for you?\u201d Logan gasps, keeping his volume quiet. \u201cThis is betrayal, Brooks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think I\u2019d have to slander your mother for you to consider it betrayal, Logan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The brunette pouts. \u201cYou never know, Alex. One day, this could be my villain backstory!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust give him the water!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander sighs, fighting the urge to run his hands through his hair. \u201cFine. Fine, fine.\u201d He kneels down, putting the straw in front of Nolan\u2019s face. \u201cHave some water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nolan makes a face before taking the straw into his mouth. Within a moment of taking his first sip, he slips into a blissful expression. He greedily gulps down mouthfuls of the liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMusta been more dehydrated than we thought, yeah?\u201d Logan quietly asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d Alexander replies, eyes fixated on the sickly boy. With a tinge of concern slipping into his voice, he asks, \u201cIs he going to choke?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNah.\u201d Logan brushes off the question easily. \u201cHe\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nolan coughs, water spraying onto Alexander\u2019s hand, who glares at Logan. The brunette in question shrugs innocently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re the one who asked. You\u2019re the one who jinxed it, dude.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nolan breathes deeply for a moment, before speaking up. \u201c\u2018M still here,\u201d he mutters, before going back to sucking the straw with a lot more constraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander watches intently as Nolan nurses at the last few drops in the bottle, the blond\u2019s face flushing.
