Let's get away from comedy for awhile.
Sherman couldn't take it anymore. The wounds were starting to sting. He really needed to get out of this closet that felt more like a prison. He couldn't let Penny know that he had more of those scratches under his shirt, besides, all she did to him ever since they got trapped was play tricks on him. He suddenly winced in pain, unable to bear the pain anymore.
"Ow!" He held his arm, trying to ease the pain.
Penny, who was still on the opposite side, noticed this and said, "Sherman, are you okay?" She had her fun awhile ago, but now, she was concerned about him.
"Penny, we need to get out of here. I need the medicine thingy for this." He looked at her seriously, trying his best to resist the pain.
Penny stood up and went to Sherman, and sat down beside him. She held his arm, which made him flinch in pain. This made her let go quickly, and made her suspicious.
"Sherman? I didn't even touch your hands." She didn't think it was possible for him to hurt when she touched his arms, when his wounds were only on his hands. She came up with one guess.
"Sherman? Are you sure you're wearing long sleeves only for the reason that it's cold?"
Sherman didn't respond. He couldn't think of anything to cover up the fact. Looks like Penny's guess was right. Knowing that she was indeed correct, she didn't need any more physical evidence. She didn't like seeing more wounds anyway, it made her queasy.
"Sherman, why didn't you tell me about this?" She started feeling guilty of all those things she did to him inside the closet they were still currently trapped in.
"I-I'm sorry Penny. I thought I could handle this. I guess I was wrong." Sherman looked down at the floor, feeling depressed.
"N-no Sherman, it's okay. I'm the one who should be sorry, for doing those things." If she had only known, then she wouldn't be doing those little verbal tricks on him.
"No Penny, it's my fault. You were just doing those to have fun. Besides, being trapped in a closet can become boring. Don't be mad at yourself, okay? You didn't do anything wrong." Sherman gave her a reassuring smile.
"T-thank you Sherman. But seriously, you need to get those scratches treated." She gave him a concerned look.
"I'll be alright Penny. Don't worry okay?" He smiled at her. She gave a concerned smile and nodded.
They were having fun awhile ago, well actually, it was mostly just Penny who was, but now that she knows more of Sherman's condition, she had to look out for him.
Sorry for not updating soon, and for this chapter being short.
