***It's ok otaku pitcher, I wasn't just directing that statement to you.
All is forgiven, all is well, now lets get back to the juicy story ^.~***
Chapter 13
"I don't think you'll understand Chichiri," I told him as I started to tremble a little. I don't know why I was so frightened to tell him.
"Make me understand," he was dead serious, and I knew it. So I turned to face him, still looking down though, and reached his hand. I led him into the washroom, opened the medicine cabinet which happened to be rather full.
He looked at me then slowly looked up to the row of pills.
"What are these, no da?"
"Pills Chichiri," I said then picked up the first bottle, "This one, Vioxx, is for pains, I only take it when I need it. Kind of like when you had that headache before except a lot more painful. I take these and they drug me and make me sleepy and useless but at least it doesn't hurt as much after."
I let him take that in then grabbed the second bottle.
"This one here is Metphormine. I take it twice in a day. Once in the morning once at night," I pointed at the third container, "This one I take once every evening at the same time, assuming I remember. It's called Cyclene. It's supposed to be for birth control but I was infertile from the start so it's purely for medical reasons."
"Why... Why exactly do you need these pills?" he asked, rather afraid now.
"Well in this day and age there are a lot more diseases. I need to take these to keep me a bit healthier and regulated. They let me live, without them I would be in bed all day from pains and discomfort."
"What diseases, might I ask?"
"Well the pills are for two diseases although they suspect a third. The two I know of for sure is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and type 2 Diabetes. The third the say is harmless, Fibrocystic disease, it's when they find a lump in a woman's breast and they assume it's not cancerous. But they keep checking it to make sure. I have checkups every two months."
He didn't say anything else, instead he grabbed me and held me as if he could protect me from all this... As if he would never let me go.
A lump formed in my throat. I put back the pills without leaving his arms, and closed the cabinet. I felt kind of relieved that I told him, but I also felt bad.
I turned to face him and wrapped my hands around his neck, without looking into his face, then hid my own face in his shoulder. He didn't seem to have even the slightest thought of letting me go anytime soon. So I just stood there, with him.
One of his hands tightened while the other let go but then I noticed it was only so that he could sift it through my hair.
I wasn't sure that he even understood half of what I said but by the way I told him he knew it wasn't a matter to be laughed upon. On the contrary it was quite serious.
His hand was still going through my hair when I finally brought myself to speak again.
"Does this change anything Chichiri?"
"Yes it does, no da. It changes a lot."
I could have died when he said that. It felt like my heart dropped into my stomach and burned in its acidic properties.
"I'm glad you were honest Lenore. If you can tell me this you can tell me anything right? So it does change a lot. I know that you trust me and I know I trust you. And since you were so honest with me there is something I must tell you. Lenore, I... I think I love you."
My heart soared again. It felt so good to hear that.
His hand had stopped moving but rested on my neck and his other hand fisted against my waist. I could tell he was waiting for a response. I knew I cared about him a lot but I never thought that maybe I loved him. I thought carefully about it for a moment.
"I love you two Chichiri," I responded honestly.
He stopped being tense. I guess that was the answer he wanted to hear, but of course.
"Does that mean your staying?" I blurted out in high hopes.
"The chances have grown, no da."
"Grown, that's it! I should thwack you for that!"
He chuckled but then I was shupt-up by his lips meeting my neck. Ah first he just kissed it gently. I could feel myself melting. Then he bit down on a little piece of flesh, and nibbled it. It didn't hurt, it actually felt kinda nice.
Once he was done nibbling he licked it to soothe the skin a little, then pulled back.
"This is to show that you are mine Lenore," he whispered gently into my ear.
I could help but melt even more. My heart was pounding and stomach fluttered pleasantly. No one had ever claimed me as their own. But I wondered if he was the type to easily get jealous. I would have to test that theory some day.
To stop myself from going too far I had to say something.
"Chichiri, I uh, I have to finish my homework."
"Oh... ok, no da," he said somewhat disappointed.
I gave him a quick kiss on the lips then let him go and ran into my room. At least I wasn't lying to him, because there was more homework I should have done. Now I had a warm feeling inside as motivation. He followed me in and I sat at my desk again while he sat on my bed and watched me.
"Aren't you going to get bored Chichiri?" I asked him as I pulled my homework out of my school bag again.
"No, not with you in the same room, no da."
"Awe that's sweet but it's a lie and you know it."
"No it's not. I was serious."
"Well in that case you're insane. Just like me!"
"Well at least we have something in common."
I giggled, "Unfortunately I have to concentrate a little. So that means I can't talk," I explained.
I saw him pout playfully, but then he just lay down on my bed and watched me silently. I felt a little odd with someone constantly watching me but I didn't entirely mind the company.
I looked down at my work and tried to complete it.
Fortunately after an hour and a half I was done. I put my stuff away then looked over at him. He was actually still awake!
"Was the bed comfortable?"
"Yes, no da"
"More than that couch I assume."
"Hai"
"Do you want to sleep in here with me tonight?"
***Heh heh he. Yes I HAD to end it there. Just because! Anyway hope you enjoyed. Tell me what you think. Oh and if you remember in previous chapters where they had spoken about Lenore being a mother, well her answer might make more sense now.***
