Toshiro sat Momo down at one of the stools in her kitchen."Here I'll help you clean up your wounds, where is your first aid kit?" Momo looked at him dumbfounded "I-Uh first aid kit?"Toshiro's eyes widened "Yeah. You know what that is right? " He spoke slowly a worried expression covered his face."How hard did you hit you're head?" He questioned touching her temples with both his thumb and index finger. "Maybe you should go to the hospital, some people die from concussion's you know?" He looked intensely into her eyes as if he was trying to see her brain. "You could kill yourself for being so stubb-" Momo put her hand up "I know what a first aid kit is I just totally forgot to get one when I moved in...And i'll be fine honestly Toshiro relax."
Toshiro sighed and stood up and thought for a moment before walking to the door. He gripped the handle and hesitated deep in thought he looked at Momo and then back to the door, his eyes flicked around the room eyeing for something. "I didn't mean to offend you or anything." Momo called to him confused He didn't look up at her instead pulled the door open letting the cool air slip in. 'Why is he leaving?' A huge part of Momo was feeling uneasy with being alone right now. Toshiro nodded at her and stepped out leaving Momo alone in silence
'What did I do?' Momo felt tears coming back again 'Aweh man I always screw thing up why is it always like this.' Momo tasted the salty tears flinching as some of them burned her cuts. 'I don't wanna be alone.' she hugged herself gripping her shirt as she did 'I'm so pathetic'.She sat there unmoving for what felt like centuries feeling discouraged.
That's when the door clicked opened and a short figure came inside. 'It's Toshiro!' Momo felt her heart leap back up from her stomach. Toshiro came back over to her holding a bag of things from the store across the street. He was panting sounding a little out of breath as he approached her. "Hey, sorry I didn't wanna tell you I was getting this stuff cause I thought you might get mad and say you were fine again."He took a deep breath "And I didn't know whether it'd be safe to leave you alone or not so I ran there as quickly as I could." Toshiro explained hunched over before noticing she was crying. "Jeez Momo. It's gonna be okay, I promise." Momo just nodded feeling overwhelmingly grateful he came back. 'I should've known he wouldn't just drop me and leave.'
Toshiro was quiet as he dressed Momo's wounds, sensing his silence Toshiro made an attempt at conversation"Most of them should heal by tomorrow they got you pretty badly banged up all over." Toshiro shot Momo a solemn glance. "Wow Toshiro you're amazing! you're really good at first aid!" Momo exclaimed admiring his handiwork on her wrist. "It's nothing" Toshiro waved off "I've had a lot of practice anyway." He looked at his feet "Oh right from sports." Momo concluded. "No, not exactly I had to take care of my Grandma for a year. She wasn't really well and I was the only one who could take care of her."
"Oh...I'm so sorry Toshiro I didn't-"
"It's alright! at least it's a useful skill!" Toshiro forcefully smiled changing the topic.
"mmhm it is." Momo nodded sensing the pressure in the air. She had a feeling something had slipped her mind."Oh no! What time is it? What about history!"
Toshiro shook his head "You're in no shape to go, besides it's one day it can't kill you. Don't worry about it."
Momo but her lip feeling uneasy "But our teacher is going to be mad at me."
"Well if that's the case She'll be mad at me too cause I'm not leaving you alone, so I guess we will be in trouble together." He shook his head
"No I don't wanna get you in-"
"Momo, I'm joking you're not going to get into trouble and neither am I, besides I think you and I have a pretty good excuse." He said nodding to her face.
Momo felt a sudden sense of insecurity "Oh man, sorry you have to see me so banged up." Momo scratched the back of her head.
"Huh? Oh it's alright, I just hope you're not in too much pain." he paused "Speaking of that I bought you some Ibuprofen to help you feel better."He continued making a loud swishing sound as he began rummaging through the grey plastic shopping bag. "Oh thank you I'll pay you back I promise!" Toshiro waved her off "It's nothing don't worry about it." "Oh Okay." Momo smiled she could actually feel the warmth inside her. She was happy to have someone like Toshiro take care of her, even if he didn't need to. They were still strangers yet Toshiro was still adamant about helping her, it made her wonder if most friendships were like that or if Toshiro was just a well brought up guy. Either way she was grateful for his persistence, she could be unbarringly stubborn at times.
Momo examined his face as he continues to dress her wounds, He had a smooth complexion, he looked as if he was darker in skin colour: almost tan, because of his strikingly white hair. His turquoise eye's were focused at the matter at hand which was cleaning the cuts on her face, some were deeper than others,'She must have been wearing rings other side my face wouldn't be cut so bad' She grimaced as Toshiro began to clean a particularly deep one. She only had one eye that was of use to her due to her black eye,the swelling had almost consumed it. Momo took in a shaky breath "Toshiro..." She said not continuing just leaving his name hanging in the air the sound of her voice was weak again. Toshiro finished bandaging the cut and sat back. "Yes, Momo what is it?" "T-T-Thank you, for everything you've done, I know I can be stubborn but you've taken care of me anyway. Thank you so much." She bowed her head.
"I have a feeling you don't have very many good friends."Toshiro stared at her waiting for an objection, when she didn't he continued. "Look this is what friends are for, they stick by your side even if you're being an airhead and they tell you what you need to know no matter how painful the truth is!" Toshiro felt weird talking about friends like that. He had never had a true friend, but it sounded right so kept going. Momo's brown eyes creased at the sides as she smiled "Yeah, you're a pretty good friend Toshiro." Toshiro felt his stomach flip 'I have a friend now...' he couldn't pretend that he wasn't happy about that. He smiled softly back at her which looked more like a smirk "Yeah, we are...friends."
