Chapter 16
I woke up in an ungodly hour of the morning, with a shadow bearing over me. Slowly I opened up my eyes and took in my surroundings as well as the figure that was on my chair starring at me. He was slouched over me, and had a look filled with uncertainties.
He didn't say a word, just sat there silently taking in ever inch of me.
"Chiri?" I asked desperately, starting to feel bad for not having stayed up with him.
"Shh... Lenore," was all he said at first.
I needed to know what was wrong.
"What's wrong?" I asked in a mere whisper.
"I will eventually explain it all to you Lenore, do not worry."
"Oh... okay."
I looked over to my clock. It was 2:34 in the morning. Way too early to be up, I wanted to sleep a little more but would stay up for him.
"When?" I asked him when he hadn't responded to anything.
"Alas, when I am ready. Please don't worry about me. All you need to know is that I love you," he explained in a tone far different than I have ever heard. This tone, that he had used ever since I woke up, was taking over his usual voice completely. I was in a way afraid...
He then got up and sat down next to me on my bed, never taking his eye off me. Then he lay down next to me and curled up against my midsection.
I would have said something but until I realized he was silently crying. A single tear fell from his eye and penetrated through cloth to my skin.
I held him as tightly as I could, and he just buried himself deeper into me. A strong feeling of intense pain flashed through me and I wondered if that was the constant pain that he was feeling.
The night caught up to me again and I fell asleep with my man in my arms.
***
Morning was sounded by the harsh noise of my alarm clock. I slowly forced myself to wake up. Light was beginning to shine through my window and into my opening eyes.
I still had Chichiri held tightly in my arms. I gently pulled my arms, which were wrapped around him, away from him. I somehow managed to get myself up, and before I walked away from the bad I pulled the covers over him.
I began to turn away and start walking towards the kitchen when suddenly a hand that held my wrist stopped me from moving any farther.
"Lenore, I'm sorry to have worried you, no da," his voice said and it repeated it my head.
I was so relieved to hear his normal mask-less voice again. Instead of responding I turned around and practically jumped on him as I went to hug him.
"Chichiri!" I shouted ecstatically.
Even though he was sitting up before he was now knocked over and on his back.
"Ano, na no da."
I laughed at both the way he said those words and the surprised expression he now held.
"Ack, I would love to stay and chat but I have to get ready for school. Come, we can at least eat breakfast together," I told him, still with a wide smile on my face.
He got up after I lifted myself off of him.
I practically ran into the kitchen, whereas as he lingered far behind. I started boiling coffee for my before school regular energy boost. Then I fetched some Toaster Strudle from the freezer and put them in the toaster. I grabbed two plates while the water began to boil and breakfast began to heat. At this point Chichiri walked in.
"Wow you're a sleepy head. I was gonna ask if you wanted to come to school with me today as a visitor but you look like you just rose from your grave."
"I would enjoy seeing how your school works. I can always sleep when I get back."
"So is there anything you want to explain to me?" I questioned in such a way that he knew what I was referring to.
"Ano," he took a moment but I knew he was going to explain it to me. "There was a time when I cared for someone as much as I care for you now. I was young, and at that time in my life there were only two important people, my love who was my fiancée, and my best friend. I went to meet them one day. When I found them I couldn't have felt more betrayed... The two were kissing."
"I began to fight my best friend. I was overpowered with anger I didn't know what I was doing. Then the floods came. The floods took away everything, my best friend, my fiancée and my left eye. I never let my scar heal so that I would be constantly reminded of my ignorance. Had I not fought my friend he might have survived."
I couldn't grasp this. It was too painful. I couldn't even imagine what it must have been like for him. I dropped what I was doing and could do nothing more but stare at him. Then he continued speaking.
"I remember every detail. While I was fighting my friend he got trapped in the current then I realized how much I cared about him and how much I wanted him to live. I grabbed his arm to try and save him. Then a log came and took away my eye. The shock I got from that made me release my friend. I will forever regret that time in my life."
He looked terrible sad and had good reason to be. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, and held him close.
"I don't want to loose someone so important to me again," he said when he realized I couldn't even speak. "Please come back with me, stay with me my love."
I couldn't answer right away even though I already knew what the answer was. I just held him tighter.
"Chiri, I want to be with you too. I don't even like where I live I think it would be fun to see what ancient China is like. It's probably not industrialized, and very beautiful."
"It is, no da."
"Sweet I get to leave and never come back!!!"
"Ano, why do you dislike this place so much?" he asked me suspiciously.
"Meh, bad history is all. I have nothing here except a couple of friends, one of which is coming with us anyway."
"Omg, the water is boiling and our breakfast is burning," I shouted as I quickly let go of him, and ran over to what I had previously started.
Thankfully our breakfast was only slightly crispy but still edible. The water was a little too hot but it would be fine. And I had successfully averted the topic. Go me!
I set up the table and he was already seated when I myself sat down. We began to eat.
"So your coming to school with me today right?" I asked in between bites of food and sips of my coffee.
"Hai, na no da."
"Great, this'll be fun."
***Well dassit for now! Please tell me what you think as usual. Encourage me! I need it at the moment. And don't forget everyone who reads this is my special friend in my special world 0.o sorry I'm being weird lol. Just forget what I just said.***
