"you don't have to walk me home" Mai complained.
"it's for your protection" Naru insisted.
"you say that for everything, you're just paranoid" Mai stated.
"my instincts have never been wrong" Naru protested.
"you threw one of my classmates out a window thinking it was Owen" Mai yelled.
"it was only two stories" Naru started.
"you broke his collar bone" Mai complained.
"he turned out fine" Naru wined.
"he could have died"Mai claimed.
"now your over exaggerating" Naru sighed.
"your not walking me home" Mai ordered before leaving.
She walked down the street for a while in silence. Naru caught up with her soon after she left.
"I'm sorry" he said.
She smiled then answered, "that's alright. Your just really over protective"
"is that a bad thing" he said taking her hand. The young girl blushed beet read. Naru smiled back at her, then tugged her along.
Later
it had been nearly an hour since Mai left. Naru sat at his desk, so worried that he was debating going to her apartment before Lin could notice he left.
He decided to call before he went insane. The phone rang twice before she answered.
"hello" she said.
Naru sighed, " I'm glad you made it home safe"
"is that the only reason you called me" Mai asked.
"yes" Naru answered.
"go home and rest" Mai ordered.
"will you come make me tea" Naru questioned.
"I'll have a pot waiting for you at the office tomorrow" she promised.
"fine" Naru agreed.
Naru hung up the phone and left the office.
Later
Owen walked into the office and over to Lin's door.
"go home, I'm almost done here" he said.
Lin shrugged before leaving. He gave Owen a worried glance and left.
Owen smirked and went into Naru's office.
