The only thing I knew when I walked into Yukimi's house for the first time was that I needed the bathroom. Badly. Me, soda, and long car rides did not mix, especially when I was so small.
I decided to sit in my normal position, since I didn't want to speak with some strange man I just met. Plus, I didn't really feel like talking, period. So I sat.
And sat.
And sat.
I sat for what seemed like hours until I looked at the clock. It had been 10 minutes, and I could take it no longer. I panicked. I started squirming around, and changing my position. That worked for about a minute. I tried to problem solve.
Okay, what am I doing? Holding it until I die? This sucks, so bad. I'm never drinking soda. Ever. Again. Agh! Stop thinking about liquid! Anyway, options… options…
a) hold it until I die
b) just let it out
c) Ask him about a bathroom
d) run away
It's not like I can go pee outside, like a regular guy… ugh… No. I'm stronger than this. I will handle this. This is not out of my control… Yes. Yes it is. Okay... Uh…
A little idea formed in my head. I shifted my position so I was lying on the floor. Closing my eyes, I let my mind wander, and I tried to go to sleep. I wouldn't pee myself in my sleep, would I? Well… maybe I would. Bad idea.
At this point I couldn't even sit up. I couldn't move for fear of my bladder bursting. My heart was beating so fast at that moment that when I heard a voice I almost screamed.
Almost.
"Hey kid, bathroom's over there, if you need it…" Yukimi pointed to a door in the hall. "And, uh, you kinda look like you need it…"
I stared at him. Then I blinked and started to crawl, yes CRAWL to the bathroom. Slowly. Ever so slowly, so as not to put unwanted pressure on my bladder. Finally I reached the door, and I stood, weakly. I made my way over to the toilet, and I did my business. Finally.
As I walked like a normal person out of the bathroom, Yukimi said "Oh good, you can walk. I was confused."
I plopped myself down on the floor, taking my usual position once again.
"So…" Yukimi started. "Want some soda?"
