It had been 3 weeks since the team found Mandarin in a hidden fortress. They soon discovered that Mandarin has amnesia; he has no memories of turning evil whatsoever. The team decided it was best to tell him that he vanished one night, rather than that he turned bad. (At least in till he was ready) He took it strangely well, not being the leader anymore and his room belonging to some teenage kid. He was staying in Otto's room for the mean time. It was currently the middle of the night.
Otto woke up when he thought he heard the door. He was about the go back to sleep, but he noticed Mandarin wasn't in the room. Otto ventured into the hallway, and noticed that someone was in the bathroom.
"Mandy…"
-In the bathroom-
Mandarin was currently throwing up the contents of his stomach into the toilet.
"Dammit! What kind of stomach virus lasts almost 2 weeks!?" Mandarin mentally cursed feeling like he was about the throw up again.
He heard a knock at the door. The voice a certain green monkey could be heard coming from the door.
"Mandarin, it's me. Can I come in?" Otto asked through the door.
Mandarin sighed and thought a moment.
"Yah, if you really want to."
Otto walked in holding a class of ginger ale, he handed it to Mandarin.
"Thanks…" Mandarin muttered as he drank the cold liquid.
"Maybe you should tell Gibso…."
"No! …I'm fine."
"But he might have somethi…."
"Otto, I'm fine. I just need to rest."
"Ok….if you say so…"
After a few moments of comfortable silence, Mandarin heaved himself off the floor.
"Let's go back to bed….I'm tired."
The two went back to their room. Mandarin crawled tiredly into his bed, snuggling into his pillows. A few moments later he felt something crawl into his bed, it was Otto.
"Can I stay here?" Otto whimpered.
"Sure, it's your room." Mandarin mumbled over his shoulder.
Otto grinned happily and snuggled up against his back. Mandarins face turned red with a blush. This wasn't quite what he meant when he told Otto he could stay, but it was kind of nice…He wrapped his tail around Otto's tail.
"Good night…"
