Usagi whimpered as Motoki put another Band-Aid on her. The fingers on both of her hands were covered with them.
"Hold still, Usa," said Motoki as he smoothed out the pink Band-Aid. "There we go." He left the first aid kit in front of her and went to help another customer.
"Thanks," she said as she went back to her needle and thread. "That's the last time I wake up Luna from her cat nap," she said, looking at the scratches on her sweater.
"What's new, Odango?"
"Ouch!" screeched Usagi as she plucked herself with the needle again. She looked behind her to glare at the dark haired man that took her by surprise. "Don't do that, baka!"
"Eesh," said Mamoru, taking a seat next to her. "What's got your odangos wound up this tight?"
"I'm trying to fix my sweater—ouch!—and it's just hurting me," she said, blowing on her hurt finger. It was turning red where the needle jabbed it.
"Here," said Mamoru reaching for a purple Band-Aid. He put one on her gently. "You're going to look like a Mummy soon with all these Band-Aids."
"Who asked you?" she replied with a glare. She stuck her tongue out at him and he stuck his out at her, too. Her eyes narrowed at his action but she couldn't fight a small smile from forming. With a sigh, she reached to finish her sweater.
"Here," he said, taking the sweater out of her hands. "Let me finish it."
"Can you sew?" asked Usagi, grateful for not having to endure the sharp needle anymore.
"A little," he said, making exact stitches. "Anyway, it'll be chilly tomorrow and a sweater will keep you warm better than a hand covered in bandages."
"At least they're pretty!" she protested, looking at the colourful Band-Aids on her fingers.
"I guess," said Mamoru with a shrug. He glanced up from his sewing to stare at her for a second. Going back to stitching the sweater, he said, "I just find other things prettier."
