It'd been a slow and rainy day at Will the Wizard's clinic. It had been around a month since the virus incident, and things were running smoothly. Patients had slumped during the time Will was gone and Pure was left to take care of the clinic with Aquamarine, his familiar. But now business had gone along a lot better since he and Pure had found the virus remedy. But today was not a good day. It was storming, and Aquamarine was being quite the annoyance to him.
"You know Will, you should spend more time here instead of being away most times." The cat said.
"I've got work to do, though." Will responded. "I'm trying to look up more magical herbs. For the clinic, you know." He had his face buried in a book trying to research some herbs.
"Yes, but if you go to the market with the money, you'll just end up playing Pinball again, like all the other times…." the cat stated bluntly.
"H-hey! I can't help it! Those things are addictive! Plus, I get a lot of fun toys for the kiddies and if Pure wants some, she can keep 'em. See, there are some good reasons to play pinball ."
"You're still blowing all our money."
"No, we have money."
"You're the most ignorant man I've ever met….."
"Who raised you?" Will asked, turning his head up to his cat. "I got the magic stone first all those years ago. I raised you with my own hands. This is how you thank me….?" Aquamarine flattened his ears.
"You were so bloody ADHD, it wasn't even funny."
"Sh-shut up! My God, you're so…..so…..annoying! Go away!" Will yelped, slamming the book down on the table and jumping up to his feet.
"Can't even think of words, master?" Aquamarine sniggered. Will glared at him.
"I really hate you….." He whipered, and walked away.
Will was sitting outside on the porch, rain pouring. Droplets of rain dripped from the awning and down on to his nose. He sighed to himself as he looked at the gray clouds floating in the sky.
"Maybe Aquamarine was right. Maybe I am ignorant." He thought. He looked down at the floor. "Maybe I should stop this clinic. Maybe I'll become a highwayman……."
"Sensei. Sensei, where are you?" he heard someone saying. He turned around to see Pure poking her head out the door. "Sensei! There you are! Aquamarine was being fussy, and I thought you two'd gotten in a argument." She said. Pure was short, but she was 16, with long, way lavender-auburn hair.
"Oh. Hi, Pure-chan….." he replied.
"What's wrong? You seem sad. You're usually so happy." Pure asked.
"I wanna ask you something. Just teacher and student." He said. "Sit down." Pure sat down next to him.
"Aren't we going to get cold, Sensei? It is raining, you know." Pure told him.
"I know, I know. Pure……do I make a good doctor?" Will turned his body so that he faced Pure.
"Yes, but you are careless sometimes." She replied.
"Sh-should I close down the clinic?"
"Don't ever say that!" Pure smacked him hard. Will rubbed his cheek, sighing. "What makes you say that, sensei? Don't be stupid!!"
"Pure, I know I'm ignorant, Aquamarine said so."
"Yeah, you can be sometimes, but I don't mind." Pure said smiling, putting her hand on Will's head.
"Wow. I forgotten how cute she looks when she smiles." Will thought. He let his hand slide over to Pure's, fingertips touching. He smiled back at her.
"Do you feel better?" Pure asked.
"Yes, I do. Thanks, Pure-chan. I need to tell you something, too." Will stated.
"What is it, Sensei? Is it bad?"
"No. Pure, I know you don't like it when I go away, so from now on you can come with me if you like. You won't be lonely anymore, Pure. Would you like that?"
Will asked his student.
"Ah. I-I really don't know what to say…….Will you stay here and take care of patients more often when you need to?" She asked.
"Of course I will! But, all that matters right now is you."
Bmp-bmp. Pure's heart skipped a beat. "Does he…..like me? Oh my god."
"Thank you, S-sensei…..I would like it very much to accompany you." She said.
"Aww, Pure. You're such a good girl." Will leaned over and kissed her cheek. Pure blushed and glared at him.
"You're so cute when you blush!" Will laughed. Pure sighed, and leaned her head against his chest.
"Sensei, are you happy?" Pure asked. She yawned.
"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Will replied.
"I just wanted to know……" she whispered. "Rain….makes me sleepy……" Pure yawned again before falling asleep on Will. Will put his arms around her small frame, hoisting her up on his knee. He smiled as he petted Pure's head.
"I love you, Pure-chan. Yes, I am happy, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
