Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it. ^_^
I own nothing.
A week had passed and it was a Friday. A week ago, Ayumu shared a tender moment with Eu, who was worried for his sake. According to Eu, Ayumu was going to suffer by being near her. He would have to fight stronger and more enemies than ever. He would also feel the pain if she ever healed anyone and if she talked, he would feel the pain instead of her. Of course, all of the pain was physical so it was easily able to be dealt with by Ayumu, due to the fact he was always accustomed to pain of any kind.
Ayumu wanted the pain. He wanted Eu beside him. He wanted her to live life as a normal girl, not held back by her curse. This way, she now can without any harm to her. He would take everything for her. Ayumu liked her… a lot. It wasn't love but it was a pretty big crush. He liked her a lot. She was kind and sweet, always caring for others. She was really adorable too, especially with the silence. He really liked the notebook thing and he did want her to speak sometimes but the notebook thing was her thing. It was something he enjoyed.
It was the last two hours of the school day and Ayumu was laying under his textbook, taking a nap. He was tired of school so he finished up the work and decided to take a nap. He has been asleep for about ten minutes so of course fate would have it, his sleep would be ended very shortly. A girl with long black hair and piercing red eyes, which gave her a foreign and very attractive look. The girl lifted the book off of his head which woke him up. He was a pretty light sleeper it seemed.
"Huh?" Ayumu asked, looking up at the girl with a dumb face and tired eyes.
"You're Ayumu Aikawa?"
"Depends on whom is asking." Ayumu said, sitting up straight and rubbing his eyes.
"You have been briefed yes?"
"I don't wear briefs if that is what you are asking." Ayumu said while yawning.
The girl gave him a growl but gave him an eyeglass case. "Here is the item. I leave it in your care."
"Uh… Why would I want this?"
"It isn't for you, it is for the teacher."
"Ah… Her… I got it."
The girl got a phone call and walked away, letting Ayumu put his head back down with his book over his head, wanting to take a nap. However, more interruptions!
"Ayumu?" Said a familiar voice. Ayumu groaned and sat up, looking at the girl. It was Maelstrom.
"What now?" Ayumu asked, annoyed. He didn't get along with the girl at the start, with her being rude and stuff.
"I just came by to bring you this." The girl stated, handing him a bento wrapped in a handkerchief.
"Why?"
"Because I am your wife now?"
"Who what now?"
"I am your wife."
"Who what now?" Ayumu repeated. "What are you talking about?"
"The kiss we had… it means that we are married."
"Uh… No it doesn't…" Ayumu stated, looking at her very suspiciously though he did take her box. It was for dinner or… lunch or something.
"By the law and tradition of my people, the first kiss means marriage."
"Yea… Um… I won't hold you to that…"
"Stop! We can't get out of this so easy. It doesn't matter why it happened but it happened! There is no going back! We are in this together! You and me! Understand?! I am yours now!"
"It's not right!"
"It's just how it is! You are still my husband whether you like it or not!"
"You are really into this aren't you? You are seriously going to push this aren't you?"
"Of course I am! My people have lived like this for centuries and I will honor their traditions! Besides… I have to get married sometime. It's either this or live alone with a bunch of cats. So that is why I will be your wife! No matter how hard you wanna pretend that I ain't. "
"ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!"
"Wait… What?"
Ayumu stood up and got in her face. "What country you from?"
"What?" Maelstrom asked confused.
"What isn't a country I've ever heard of. Do they speak English in what?!"
"What?"
"SAY WHAT AGAIN! SAY WHAT AGAIN! I DARE YOU, I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHER FUCKER. SAY WHAT ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME!" Ayumu yelled out, getting everyone even the teacher to look at him.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
"You used the word ain't which isn't even a real word. So I did the awesome line of a great American actor, which fit perfectly. Now anyways, I will not marry you. I am not your husband. Stop forcing your beliefs on another person. I have no interest in marrying you. There is only one girl I am interested in and I am not even sure if I wanna marry her yet. Go away."
Maelstrom got furious. "UGH! You are so stubborn!" Maelstrom said, stomping away making a scene. Everyone stared at him with confusion.
"Hey, she wants to get married after one kiss. I have no interest in her even as a love interest. I only kissed her on accident, because someone pushed me. Don't blame me for a psycho lady." Everyone went back to their studies, due to the last two hours being used for studying.
It was now after school and Ayumu was arriving home. Ayumu walked into the front door and smiled at Eu who was busy peeling and eating oranges.
"Hey, what would you like for dinner?"
'Meat, Potatoes and Rice.'
"Of course. I will start dinner." Ayumu said, getting into the kitchen and placing all the frozen items into the microwave, defrosting them. He went back to the living room, only to see her begin to fall. Ayumu's eyes went wide open and he dove quickly to the ground, catching her as she fell. Ayumu quickly put his hand over her forehead, feeling her temperature. "Eu, you are burning up!"
It was then Seraphim and Haruna came into the room, running in.
"Get away from her maggot!" Seraphim said. "Do not touch her with your maggot hands."
"Shut up Seraphim." Ayumu stated.
"What did you just say?"
"I said shut up! Get me a bowl of cold water and a rag." Ayumu stated. He turned to look at her who stood still. "NOW!" Seraphim left quickly. "Haruna. Can you please get me another futon?"
"Of course!" Haruna stated, running out. Ayumu turned back and lifted Eu into his arms before carrying her gently over to the bed. He held her in his arms next to the bed, waiting for Haruna. Haruna was back quick, bringing over a futon. She saw what he was doing and quickly put the two futons together, one on top of each other, making it comfier. Ayumu sat Eu up on the Futon, her back to his chest.
Ayumu gulped and began to remove the frontal armor, while Haruna watched. He quickly removed the armor and placed it to the side, before also removing her gauntlets and the plate armor on her legs. He also removed the ones on her hips, leaving only the helmet on. It was then Seraphim arrived with the bowl of water and a rag. Ayumu quickly pulled up her shirt, looking away as he did. He made sure not to touch her no no's, but he lifted off her shirt. He looked down and noticed she wasn't wearing a bra so he quickly looked away.
"Haruna. Can you get me the big sleeping pajama's that I keep in my top drawer? It will be the only clothing in there."
"Yes!"
"For a maggot, you are a gentleman."
"I am not a outwards pervert. I won't deny I have dirty thoughts, but I keep them to myself. Eu is also sick, so I know better."
Haruna quickly returned with the large white sleeping shirt, which was massive. It was meant for people bigger then Ayumu but it was very breathable. Ayumu quickly helped Eu into the shirt before laying her on the bed. He pulled the blanket up onto her, letting her rest. Ayumu quickly soaked the rag and made sure it was damp but not too leaky. He placed it onto Eu's forehead before sitting down behind her, watching over her. Haruna and Seraphim were looking at Ayumu who was looking at her with concern and worry, before looking at each other. They both nodded and left, letting Eu and Ayumu stay in the room alone.
The day went on slowly, as Ayumu stayed in the room, reading a book though he would look over at Eu to make sure she was ok. It was about dinner time and Ayumu hadn't looked over at Eu, so he decided to put the book away to make dinner. He looked over to Eu and noticed she was awake.
"Eu… You need to sleep, but do you think you could stomach some oatmeal?"
Eu nodded with a very cute grunt. Ayumu nodded and rewet the rag before heading into the kitchen to make oatmeal. Haruna however was making the oatmeal when he arrived.
"It's ok. I got it. Just watch over her ok? She needs you."
Ayumu nodded and returned to the living room, sitting down beside Eu. Eu was busy looking up at the ceiling until Ayumu sat down.
"It's ok… Haruna is making us the oatmeal. You will be better in no time." Ayumu said with a small smile. He had concern and worry in his eyes, though his face was smiley and confident. Eu nodded and waited. It was then Haruna came in with two bowls of Oatmeal, which was flavored Maple and Brown Sugar. Haruna put down both bowls next to Ayumu with two spoons. "Thank you Haruna."
"Of course. I am a genius after all. She will get better in no time!" Haruna stated before leaving to the door. "Get better Eu." Haruna said before leaving.
'Getting sick isn't so bad, especially if I get to eat some of Haruna's cooking.'
Ayumu chuckled and grabbed a bowl and a spoon. He then took a spoon out before inspecting it, before offering it to her mouth. "Yea, but she can really only cook egg's. You should see her when she tries to cook meat." Ayumu said with a big smile. He placed the spoon her Eu's mouth.
'I can eat myself.'
"I know, but I want to do this. You should rest." Ayumu said with a smile, which after a few seconds, Eu opened her mouth in which Ayumu carefully began to feed her. He fed her over and over, for over an hour while he also gave her sips of Green Tea, made by Haruna.
Unknown to either of them, Haruna and Seraphim were watching from the door, watching him and Eu interact.
"Do you think the maggot likes Lady Hellscythe?"
"That is obvious… but does she like him?"
"I wouldn't know, but he really is a sweet guy. He cares for Eu and would do anything for her. He changed into a giant monster for her."
"We should let them be."
Haruna and Seraphim nodded and left to their respective rooms, though Seraphim slept in the attic.
It was night time now, the moon in the sky. It was a full moon and a beautiful one. Eu was fast asleep and Ayumu was there.
"Good night Eu…" Ayumu said with a smile before replacing the rag. He got up and left, letting her sleep. He went up to his room, before undressing to his boxers and climbing into his bed. Ayumu laid on his bed, looking out the window towards the moon. He was just staring at the moon, unable to sleep. He was really worried. 'I hope she isn't undergoing a sickness that would require a doctor… I don't know any underworld doctor…'
About ten minutes later, he heard two soft knocks at his door. He looked over and got up from the bed, heading over to the door. He slid it open and looked down, only to see a red face Eu, who only wore the helmet plate. She was staring forward, looking into the room and not at his face.
"Eu…?" Ayumu asked. Eu looked up at him, breathing heavily. "Come on. You can't be out of bed. Doctor's orders." Ayumu said with a smile. He was about to pick her up when she brought her notepad up.
'Is it ok if I sleep with you?'
Ayumu's eyes went wide and he began to stammer. "I… I… I…" Ayumu looked at her and gulped. He nodded. "Yes…" Ayumu said, picking her up like a princess before carrying her into his room and shutting the door. He laid her on the bed, closest to the window and the wall, so she wouldn't fall off. It was a pretty big bed, much bigger then what two people needed, let alone just Ayumu. His parents really liked him. Ayumu crawled into the bed with Eu, after making sure she was covered up and falling quickly to sleep. He laid down a few feet away from her, making sure to stay away. He did not want to make her think he was snuggling with her or anything.
Ayumu was looking at the door, his mind racing with perverted thoughts and worry. However, he began to yawn and he turned around once, just to make sure Eu was alright. He looked at Eu and noticed she was fast asleep, snoring very softly, sleeping like a baby. He began to turn back around but he noticed Seraphim staring at him from the attic. He gulped and looked at her. However, Seraphim just replaced the panel and Ayumu began to fall asleep, his body feeling heavy and tired.
He was asleep and it was then, Eu woke up. Eu looked over and saw Ayumu all the way on the other end of the bed, sleeping away from her. She moved over slowly before snuggling up to Ayumu and falling asleep. She had her head on his chest and one of her arms over his stomach as he slept.
"Good night… Ayumu. Thank you so much" Eu said before going to sleep.
Read. Review. Moo.
