Franken Stein sat in his bath tub. He could feel the warm water wrapping around him and seeping into his fresh scars. His clothes were sprawled on the floor in front of him, a tad damp from his entry to the bath tub. The bathroom was plain which helped his mind wander to random things.

Marie. Spirit. Azusa. He had friends. He never really had friends before. Some of the things he learned he would have never learned other wise. A thought of the text books in the schools library popped into his mind. He also wouldn't have had so many new things to try out.

He laughed a little as a smile reached his lips.

Spirit still hadn't noticed it. The scars. He had noticed it on Stein's body but not his own.

Stein didn't feel the sanity slip away for a moment. He felt a soft giggle escape his lips as the bath water rippled. He stood up to grab some soap as an annoyed someone burst open the door.

Marie looked angry for a moment at entry but then looked at Stein, the door had shut behind her. Her cheeks flushed red and she started to sputter.

"I-I-I...Oh my... Um..." She stared astonished.

Stein was still standing up. He looked at her blankly but he himself felt a tad embarrassed. He didn't recognize the emotion and didn't know how to react. They just stood there staring at each other for a moment.

"I'm sorry." She sputtered quickly and dashed to the door, colliding with it and falling. She didn't realize it had shut. She opened the door, her cheeks even redder than before and dashed out. Spirits laugh could be heard along with storming foot steps.

Stein sat down having not even gotten the soap. He placed a hand on his chest. Why was his heart beating? A smile curled on his pursed lips. He would have to check if every thing was alright. Inside.

Marie huddled up on her bed hugging her pillow. Azusa wasn't home from shopping, she needed a new calculator. Something about her beating her calculator and needing a faster one. Marie was fully embarrassed and the only thing she felt like doing was curling up in a ball. She didn't even want to go out with Azusa to help her. Even when Azusa mentioned getting her food. She regretted that now.

Earlier in the day, it was a weekend, she had visited Spirit and Franken at there apartment. She had gotten angry when she found out that Franken had cut himself open and, with out thinking, burst open the bath room. Franken had been taking a bath and was standing up.

She blushed remembering it and squeezed her pillow.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid." She murdered to herself.
