-Takumi-
I started making something for us to eat as Mai sat there waiting for the cream to absorb into her sink enough to go and take a shower.
“I’m going to make some Hamburger Helper is that alright?” I asked her taking out some hamburger form the fridge.
She nodded but didn’t look at me. I sighed and got out the box and started browning the meat. “Mai, you’re not weak you have a very high tolerance for pain.” I told her.
“I am weak, you’ve been though so much more then I have.” She muttered and I could hear her perfectly.
“Don’t get yourself down it’s not good for you. Why don’t you go and take a bath and try to relax this is going to take a bit to make.” I told her knowing that the five minuets was up.
“Ok.” She said and stood up holding onto the hoddie’s front.
“You can go ahead and borrow some of my clothes again just raid my dresser for some.” I told her looking back at the meat.
“Thank you Takumi.” She said and I heard her go up the stairs. She must have taken a bath because she was up there until the Hamburger Helper was just about done.
She grabbed another one of my hoodie’s and a pair of my boxers. I laughed a little and put some of the food in a bowl and grabbed a fork then handed it to her. “Now don’t inhale it Mai, other wise you’ll get sick.” I commented and sat down at the table without any food.
“Aren’t you going to eat?” She asked.
“I will, I just want to make sure that you get something in you first.” I told her.
She started eating and when she had half the bowl done I decided to get some food myself. She finished before I did. “If you want more you can have more Mai, I don’t mind.” I commented and she smiled at me.
“It’s alright I’m full, thank you for making something.” She said and took her bowl to the sink.
“You’re welcome. You know you shouldn’t go so long without eating something it’s going to make you sick.” I told her and finished up my bowl.
“I know, I’m sorry.” She looked down.
“It’s fine, why don’t you try to get some sleep. If your back starts to hurt let me know and I’ll put some more cream on it for you.” I said standing up and placing my bowl at the sink.
“Ok, night.” She said and went back up stairs.
I put things away and did the dishes. My leg started hurting so I put a clean bandage on after I took a shower and I went up to my room to find Mai sleeping soundly in my bed. I walked in and covered her up more then pushed some of her hair out of her face then turned off the light as I walked out of the room and went into the spare bedroom and went to sleep myself.
I must have hit the pillow and was out like a light because the next thing I remember is waking up to my phone buzzing by my head because the alarm on it is going off to get ready for school. I went to my room and woke Mai up I think then grab some clothes and went into the bathroom to get changed. When I came out she was still in bed.
“Mai, it’s time to get up, we have to go to school.” I said walking back into the bedroom and putting my clothes in my hamper.
She didn’t move. “Mai, I have your clothes all washed and dried for you to wear today.” I shook her a little bit and she woke up.
“Morning.” She said stretching.
“Morning, you need to get dressed soon other wise we’ll be late for school.” I told her then went down stairs and made a couple of pieces of toast for us to eat on the way to school.
She came down a couple of minuets later. “So you ready to go?” She asked me.
“I have to go and do my eyeliner then I’ll be ready I was just waiting for you to get dressed.” I said then ran back up the stairs did my liner really quick and stuck the pencil in my pocket then slid down the railing. “Ok now I’m ready.” I smiled at her and we went to school.
The next couple of weeks went by smoothly. Her aunt came home so Mai had to go back home and take care of her so I was stuck home alone again. I called my parents every night and kept my grades up as usual. It actually surprised me that the people from the lab haven’t come to find us recently. Maybe they finally found someone else to bug.
