Renamon: Holy crap what's gotten into you?! It's nearly been a year!

Me: it's been absolute hell this past year to say the least to the point I actually considered to stop writing due to the lack of time I've had. Anyways let's just get this over with.

Chapter 12: The first days

Rena kept a tight grip on me as she slept, I swear ever since I said I'd give this relationship a chance she hasn't let go of me. Not that I'm complaining though she's adorable when she's like this. She's been so nice to me and I probably hurt her the most emotionally, I apparently left her (at least from what I can tell) forgot all about her and practically rejected her when she first confessed her feelings. I looked back to her sleeping state only give her an empathetic gaze.

I felt bad for her… well that's an understatement I felt responsible for her pain. She just wants to be with me and I cant-

...

How am I supposed to go about this? It's practically taboo. And yet somehow Im not against it?

I wouldn't say I love her, but that doesn't mean I don't like her. Heck I'd even say I might have a small crush on her. I just don't want my first relationship to turn into a total disaster like most high school relationships. I want to take this steady and not go about it like "Player".

Wrapping my arms around her I tried to let my thoughts come to an ease. However it was no easy task, I don't even know how I am going to make our relationship work this is my first girlfriend-Well that's a lie, I had a relationship for a whopping three days in kindergarten for giving Chelsea my graham crackers, only to lose her to Tom who gave her a whole chocolate bar…

God I had a sad love life.

But that's aside the point, as far as I can tell I'm not exactly what you would call 'boyfriend material'. So far it's Rena who's been carrying this relationship through. She confessed to me rather than it being the other way around. And it's not like I can just bring her to a local restaurant without anyone freaking out. We've already had enough close calls as it is.

I can't bring her anywhere without bringing attention to the both of us, I have to keep her home to keep her safe' I thought bitterly.

I'm surprised that we haven't been caught sure my town can be pretty blind at times (especially when it comes to law enforcement) but really we've had a lot of luck on our side lately. I still can't believe they let us in that comic shop without thinking Rena was a theif of some sort. I guess company endorsement will get you far in life.

...

'Man there has to be a better way to do this.' I pondered.

I mean I can't just set up a date at the house and call it a day can I? I don't have a job yet, and I'm almost out of birthday cash. I can't even afford us one measly meameal!

I guess I'll have to look for a job in the meantime. Something small just to leave enough money and time for her. Freelance would be my best bet considering I can just show up when I want.

Kind of like Peter Parker...

The Next Day…

"Miiiiiike c'mon it's time to get up." Rena coaxed gently. Groaning in drowsiness I slowly sat up only to be entangled by Rena as she snuggled up to me.

"Morning to you too Rena." I yawned with a small chuckle as I ruffled the fur on the top of her head. Although I sound alright at the moment I'm exhausted, I barely got any sleep last night. I guess that's what I get for being a worrywort.

"How was your sleep?" Rena asked

"It was fine I guess." I lied plainly.

"Any memories recently?" she asked tentatively.

...

"No."

To be quite honest I don't know what triggers my memories. For the most part they seem to just happen at random when I'm asleep normally causing a massive headache afterwards. Maybe it's due to certain experiences I have...

Or maybe there's just some I can't get back.

"Mike is everything alright? You look distressed."

"Eh? I'm fine just a bit tired" I dismissed. Last thing I wanted was for her to get worried.

Reluctantly I forced myself up causing me to yawn quietly. 'UGHHHHH EFFORT!' the lazy side of me groaned in disgust.

A couple of minutes later…

For once I decided to actually decided to cook breakfast rather than buying it or using leftovers so I don't look like a cheapskate. Grabbing the eggs I cracked them over the pan only to realise I have no prior cooking skills.

"Crap… what am I going to make? Eh I guess I'll wing it."

Having Rena watch my every movement did not make this much better either it's kind of like having your teacher watching over your shoulder as you take a test waiting for you to screw up.

I just decided to make some eggs with mushrooms to keep it simple

"Mike?"

"Yeah Rena?"

"Isn't the stove supposed to be on?" She pointed out with a small giggle..

Aaaand there goes my dignity.

To be continued...

Me: well that's about it for now hopefully I'll finish up the chapters to the rest of my other stories soon but it'll take a while. I had to rewrite this chapter twice because google screwed up my formatting (basically every other word was replaced by another word from a different paragraph) making me want metaphorically drink bleach

Rena: Are you okay?

Me *laughs for a solid minute* No. But hey we passed sixty followers :D by the way this story is way overdue for a rewrite i'm going to try and update the story without deleting any chapters cause honestly if I deleted any of the chapters I'd probably never get this done.

Rena: weren't you supposed to write the next chapter to lfaah?

Me: Yeah but it was renamon appreciation day and technically your birthday.

Rena OH YEAH I forgot!

Me: how do you even forget your own birthday? Anyways I'll try to update why me? as soon as I can and eventually get back to lfaah
