I'm not quite sure that I like McDonnells as much any more. I got there before Tech and as it is I'm sitting here trying my hardest not to bolt. I was at the very least grateful that I wasn't injured as badly as before, only a few bruises showed any evidence and my clothes covered it up.

When Tech finally came in I was extremely nervous. He came over to me and we just kind of stood there trying not to look each other in the eye until Tech finally broke the relative silence (remember we are in McDonnells here).

"So...ummm...You hungry?" he asked. I nodded and did one of those things were you suddenly realize your hungry. We ordered our food and had another awkward moment as we waited. This Fast food stuff really wasn't fast enough for my taste. When we got it I decided now would be a good time to start talking, that way I could have an excuse to stop it all for a bit if need be.

"Well...hi." Yeah that was a good start.

"Why don't you leave?" I see, the blunt approach. I can do that.

"I've tried. It didn't work. You've never met my father Tech. Hell you've never even been to my house! It just, it doesn't work that way okay." That was blunt right?

"All right then lets go," he said standing up and gathering his food.

"What?" My boyfriend makes no sense at all, yep, he's a crazy one.

"You father's out of town right, so show me your house," he said pulling me out of my chair. "Grab your food, we eat on the way!"

I t was rather amusing as I followed behind him leisurely eating my food. It appears that he forgot that we're going there because he never went there before, hence he doesn't know were it is. Either that or his male gene prevented him from asking for directions, even to a place he's never been before. I myself was happy to see how long this would go on for. He just seemed...happy, almost in a disturbing kind of way. When we wound up back at McDonnells he looked around him and then turned back to me with the saddest look on his face.

"I don't know were I'm going."

I was honestly torn between laughing and crying. He looked absolutely...pathetic. In a cute sort of way of course, he always looked cute, but none the less pathetic is the only word that really described him at the time.

The day with Tech had gone by quickly and afterwards I was pleased to realize that Fredy and Hugo had been told by Tech to back off a little, in some ways at least. Fredy was still acting like a big brother and Hugo was disturbingly enough still in maternal mode but it was less verbal now and I liked it that way. They knew, and I knew that they did, for the first time in a long time I had people to lean on.

Maha was also still popping up and though the floating was still slightly odd I rather liked her and even slightly looked forward to her irregular visits.

Best of all my father wasn't to be home for weeks still.

AN: All right, I think I have one more chapter left until Tsukasa is in the coma and then I might change it to a sequel, if nothing else because of a change of view. Now then the review that I want to That Guy which is by the way a great name. He wants to know how old Hugo is so before I reveal his age I want to know what your theories on Hugo are. If nothing else it should be interesting. Last of all if I ever take that long to update again I beg you to flame me, I need someone to keep me in check on that.
