Part 3
Izzy walked back to his apartment after having walked Jyou home. He saw a flower stand on the sidewalk and bought a bouquet of daisies before continuing on his way.
He went up the stairs two at a time feeling unreasonably happy and letting out his excess energy without a worry that he might look a little silly as he fairy skipped up to his apartment door.
"Sora, I'm home," he called out kicking the door shut behind him.
"Hello," she yelled back. "I'm in the kitchen. Mimi's here too."
"Hello Mimi," Izzy said saluting her with the bouquet before bowing and presenting them to Sora.
"Thank you Izzy, but what's the occasion?"
"Just that the day is as lovely as the two women in my apartment." The pair giggled and blushed at the comment, it was usual coming from Izzy.
"What happened to your lip?" Mimi gasped when she saw the cut. "Were you in a fight?"
"Sora hit me," Izzy said, not even paying attention to the words as he said them. He did however, notice the dark look that fell over Sora's face for a second. Then it was gone again, a trick of the light he assumed.
"Izzy surprised me when he came home last night, I had lashed out before I even thought it might be him," Sora said laughing. Mimi looked unsure for a second but smiled politely.
"I have to get going," Mimi announced. "I was just about to leave when you came in," she explained to Izzy. "I'll see you later Sora."
"Later," Sora promised. She tilted her head to the side as Mimi left, as if she was listening for something.
"What are you making," Izzy inquired stepping over to Sora's side and peering over her shoulder at the pot on the stove.
*Slam* Mimi was gone, the door shut firmly behind her.
"What were you thinking, telling her I hit you?" Sora demanded rounding on Izzy. She pushed at him, making him back up.
"It didn't really matter," Izzy told her. "You did hit me after all, it was no big deal. Especially since she thinks it was all some big misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand this," Sora said in a harsh tone, shoving him so suddenly it caught him off balance. Izzy was thrown against the stovetop, and he knocked the pot over. Boiling water cascaded over the edge of the oven and noodles went everywhere, it was a wonder none of the water got on Izzy.
"Oh Izzy? Are you OK? Did any of it get on you?"
"I'm fine Sora," Izzy hastily assured her. "The water missed me, but your flowers...." The flowers were strewn on the floor in a puddle of noodles and water.
Sora stared at the daisies for a second and started shaking violently. She had promised herself she wouldn't ever hit him again. Then the very next day... what was wrong with her? She couldn't even control her temper.
Izzy took her by the shoulders and looked straight into her eyes, misinterpreting her shakes.
"It's fine Sora, everything's fine." Izzy hugged her, refusing to allow his eyes to look at the water below him.
