Renamon: That's it I've lost my patience… WRITER!
Me: Hey everyone… sorry for yet another long wait I had a rough start this year but here it is. I know I've been avoiding this story a little bit recently. But I had to post it on today because it's international Renamon appreciation day… again. Enjoy unless the chapter is crap I guess
Renamon: You've just been avoiding it because of deadpool and undertale haven't you.
Me: …Well you forgot about civil war but you're not wrong.
Renamon: You disappoint me.
Me: I disappoint myself.
Chapter 11: (one week later)
Well this is new... everything seems to be falling into place. For starters the semester ended giving me more time to spend with Rena. So far we decided it would be best to stay indoors just for a week or two considering what happened last time…
Anyways,
The sun was shining, the weather was perfect for heading out and what was I doing? Laying down doing absolutely nothing (well technically I was listening to music but you get the idea).
Renamon was right next to me holding onto my arm gently as she continued to snuggle up to me. I know she does it out of friendliness but it still feels a little uncomfortable considering everything that has happened this past week.
And no, I haven't quite decided if we're going to be together. I mean at this rate I might as well toss a coin to decide. I can't go a whole three minutes without thinking about the subject. Seriously I'm completely torn.
Suddenly I decided to get off my ass and do something for a change. As I was about get up Rena hugged my arm much tighter than before. "Where are you going?" She questioned with a small yawn. "I was thinking about heading out." I replied quietly. Rena was going to get up causing me to stop her.
"Alone." I added. Her ears lowered as a response. "Oh…" She whispered in a hurt tone.
"You're acting like an ass Mike."
Sighing to myself I hugged her softly. "Sorry, I'll be sure to get you something on my way back." I reassured as I let go.
Heading towards the door I grasped the door tentatively only harden my grip and walk out.
Ten Minutes Later…
I stopped by a nearby liquor store and got myself a can of soda and a chocolate bar for Renamon.
You know I never really took the time to actually think about everything that's happened since Rena got here. I'm taking all of this rather well. I mean this sounds like something I'd read out of a comic book. Shouldn't I be a little more concerned about what the future holds for the two of us? I've been careless, if someone would've found her back at that mall she wouldn't be here now.
Resting against a wall I collected all of my thoughts. "Okay let's recap:
I have a sentient being living at my house,
Said sentient being knows me rather well,
I apparently have amnesia,
I have to hide her every single day from my parents,
and to top it all off she loves me."
Which brings us to the question at hand: Do I go through this relationship?
I took a sip out of my drink to relieve any of my stress. If I do go through with it nothing necessarily bad would happen. However she isn't human, it doesn't seem socially acceptable, but then again in Guardians of the Galaxy Peter Quill basically hooked up with Gamora and he didn't seem to care if she wasn't human. But if that's the case why am I so hesitant about it?
Sighing to myself I pulled out a rather beat up quarter. "Am I really going to let a coin make up my decision? This is absolutely pathetic." I thought to myself.
"Well it's better than taking another two weeks to decide like a freakin' dingus." a part of me pointed out
Fair enough.
Heads means yes to the relationship, tails means no (you get the idea). I flipped the coin letting it fall on my palm only to cover it on the back of my opposite hand. "Here goes nothing." I muttered as I removed my hand slowly only to realise it landed on tails.
Staring at the coin I shook my head. Damn it! Even if it was fair I can't help but feel as if I'm physically hurting Rena with this one choice. I feel as if I'm trapped, either way it's a huge decision.
...
"You love her too don't you." A part of me claimed. Although I wouldn't say I love just yet. However I can't say that I wouldn't be willing to give it a shot at the very least.
But she isn't human.
...And I just went in a complete circle didn't I?
What the hell do I do?!
Later…
I headed back home with my mind finally set it took a full hour. Walking into the house I called out for Rena receive silence as a response. I ran upstairs to my room in panic only to find Rena with a pair of headphones looking through my portfolio of artwork. Sighing in relief I sat right next to her tapping her on the shoulder. Removing the headphones from her head she embraced me tightly. I didn't reject it this time I just decided to roll with it. "How was your walk" She asked.
"It was alright, I actually got you something." I replied handing her the chocolate bar. She inspected the candy bar looking at it in all possible directions. "What is this?" She finally asked. "It's chocolate you're supposed to eat it." I answered. Before she took a bite I stopped her.
"You might want to remove the wrapper."
"Oh." she replied sounding embarrassed. Ripping the wrapper Renamon tentatively took a bite out of the bar only for her eyes to widen because of the flavor. She then began to quickly gobble it up. "I'm guessing you like it." I chuckled. Rena sheepishly scratched the back of her head with a nod. She then picked my portfolio back up. "Did you make these?" She asked suddenly showing me my artwork. It was a sketch of a cityscape made entirely of graphite. I nodded as a response.
"They look amazing…"
A long silence passed and I was contemplating if I should tell her my decision. "Screw it just tell her already!" A part of me screamed
...
"Listen Rena, I've done some thinking and I think I've finally come to a conclusion." I finally admitted. Rena looked at me in confusion only to understand what I mean,she looked nervous.
"Rena, I want to give 'us' a shot. Although I may not feel the exact same way just yet that doesn't mean I don't feel anything for you… Heh, I probably sound like an idiot to you don't I?" I continued honestly as I gently held her hands. Rena gave me a heartwarming smile she honestly looked she was about to cry. Without any warning she lunged towards shoving her lips against my own (no tongue), however I didn't kiss back this time I just held her tightly. She then ended the kiss nuzzling my cheek lightly. "Mike it doesn't matter to me if you don't feel the same, besides we can discover how you feel-" She cut herself off for a moment only to grasp my hand
"Together…"
