Chihaya sighed and turned to walk back to Akari. He sat down next to her. " Is there something wrong?" she asked him confused. He shook his head. " Nah...I just don't like waiting." Akari nodded. She looked around the room. Back home, they didn't even have a clinic, just a creepy doctor who made house calls. The rooms beyond the front rooms weren't to private. They all had wide doors that opened to the public. She cringed at the thought of having people watching her.
"Akari...Are you Okay? You seem nervous." She shook her head quickly. "No!" She spat out. He rolled his eyes at her. " Sure, I mean cause you don't suck at lying or anything." Akari huffed. He started tapping his foot on the ground. Every second, Akari swore it was getting louder. 'Tap,Tap,Tap,Tap,Tap,Tap. She slammed her hand down on his leg. " Wow. Your irritaited and nervous? How did that happen?" Chihaya was getting on her nerves now. He was like a child who couldn't sit still.
"Yeah I wonder." She rolled her eyes at him. When was the receptionist going to call her? She put her feet up on the chair, and hugged her knees. With Chihaya's constant tapping, Those wide open doors leading to different rooms, and how dreadfully slow the doctor was. She just wanted to run out of there. "Akari?" She perked up when she heard her name called from the doctor.
He was very...'Asian'? She made a face at him. Chihaya chuckled at her expression. " Don't you like doctors?" He whispered into her ear. " That...And he looks weird." He made some weird sound that she couldn't quite describe. "Only the first of many , My dear." Akari looked confused. " Akari!" Her head shot back to the strange doctor. He looked rather annoyed that she wasn't even standing yet.
She shot up. " Miss, you can bring 'him' with you, if you'd prefer." Chihaya stuck his tongue out at him when he turned around. " Chihaya...That's not like you..." He didn't answer Her. He just grabbed her hand. Akari twitched as she walked through two wide open doors. when they were seated, She could still see the receptionist. She cringed. " Miss Akari, Are you all right?" She nodded quickly.
" Alright, So I'm sure your aware that you almost suffered from hypothermia, Correct?" She nodded at him. " I'm going to do a couple tests, to make sure you don't have any side effects." The Doctor had tried many things. He'd made her breath in, He checked her pulse, and finally took her temperature. He seemed displeased. Chihaya spoke up. "Is something the matter?"The Doctor nodded slightly.
" Her breathing is a little rigid, Her pulse is almost normal...Except her temperature is still too low. I'd say she's moderate...Before you leave, grab her some ear muffs and a scarf. When she gets home, give her some warm Hot chocolate. Also, have her take an hour long bath. It should help to re-heat her body." He scooted them out of his office. They both rolled their eyes.
Chihaya Grabbed her black ear muffs and a light pink scarf. When no one was looking , he stole a black jacket for her. They both quickly scurried out the door. " Were going back right?" He shook his head. Akari looked confused. "I'm taking you back to my house." She eyed him. "Why?" Chihaya turned to her. " So I can take care of you. Duh." She blushed lightly. He wanted to take care of her? She just nodded slowly at him.
Akari was sort of curious about what kind of house Chihaya had lived in. He stopped suddenly and Akari ran into him. She was annoyed. "What now?" She looked up at him. "Uh.Were at my house." She peeked her head over him. Her eyes widened. She saw a cute little cottage like house. "You live here? Are you sure?" He rolled his eyes at her. "Why is it so surprising to everyone that I live in a cute house?!"
Akari started laughing uncontrollably. "What?" Chihaya was partially ticked off. "Nothing! It's just that I never thought you would live in such an adorable little house!" She continued laughing. He huffed,and opened the door. Akari stopped laughing. The inside wasn't as cute as the outside of the house. Even though she didn't know much about him, She thought that the house looked like his taste-On the inside at least.
They both walked in. He pointed to the couch. She walked over and sat down. She skimmed the room to look at the surroundings. A medium T.V. In front of the coffee table in the living room. The kitchen looked professional. Two large windows to her left and right. There were to other doors in the house. One she assumed was his bedroom, the other was a bathroom. She was bored. He was in the kitchen making her hot chocolate.
She layed down on the couch looking at the walls. Trying to figure out what color yellow the walls were. Pale? Sunny? Then she turned to the ceiling...There was nothing to count. "Ehem." He coughed. She jolted up. "Are you going to drink this, Or are you going to continue staring at the molding in the wall?" She rolled her eyes at him. Akari sat back up. He handed her the cup.
" I'm going to go start your bath now, so drink up." She nodded at him. She took a sip, and smiled. Akari heard the sound of water running in the background. He was being awfully nice to her...Even though he didn't want to show it. She drank the rest quickly , when she heard him coming. "Your baths ready." She nodded and walked over to the bathroom. She hurriedly shut the door. She gawked at how...Large his bathroom was.
It was huge! He must have had one of those whirl-pool bath-tubs! She grabbed her towel, Wrapped it around herself, and stripped. She hoped in. "Oh...This is nice." She sank down into the water. Akari noticed that he added bubbles to her bath. They were orange scented." He's really being nice..." She went under the water. Akari popped her head up, only enough that she could breath.
She shut her eyes, and relaxed her body. Akari shut her eyes, and accidentally drifted off. Her dreams were filled with images of her and her father picking oranges during the summer. When he was still there at least... She remembered that after he left, her mother didn't care about what happened to the farm. That orange tree died, due to neglect. Akari always wished that she had continued to take care of that tree, so that maybe. It would still be here.
Akari felt something warm on her shoulders. She opened her eyes slowly. Chihaya was standing in front of her. Akari's eyes widened. When she saw him crying. "Wh-Whats wrong?!" She put her hand on his face. He leaned his face into her palm.
"I thought you were dead." He sobbed into her hand. Her hand trembled at the thought. Dead? She understood why he might have thougt that...Who sleeps in a bath tub?
"It's okay...I'm still here-" He grabbed her. He hugged her tightly. She blushed. You couldn't see anything. But she was still naked. Akari had to have been scarlet red by now. Despite all that, she hugged him back. "Chihaya...Why are you so upset?" He shook his head into her shoulder. " You can tell me." She whispered lightly. "W-when I was y-younger...My mom and Dad both died...When I was still very young...I-It was horrible..." He sobbed harder.
She layed her head on top of his. "I'm not dead. I'm here." She shooshed him a few times. Akari could finally understand why he was so sarcastic, or empty. He was lonely, And sad. She didn't know what to do. He let go of her. To akari's surprise.A couple minutes later he came back with a long hooded jacket. "Here, You can put this on." His voice sounded sweeter than it usually did.
Chihaya turned around so she could change. A couple minutes later, She tapped his shoulder. He turned and smiled purely at her. She blushed harder. This new side of Chihaya was..."Would you like to watch a movie?" His newly found soft voice made her heart soar. "S-Sure" He pointed to his room. He had a rather large T.V. on his wall. She crawled up onto his bed. She sank. " Oh my gosh...So soft." His bed was making her sink , and his pillows were super soft.
He jumped on with her. Chihaya pulled his blanket up onto them and pulled Akari close to him. Almost like a hug. Akari was begginning to have a blushing complex. It was his fault. "Let's see whats on T.V." He was so warm to her. Everything around her was comfortable, And Chihaya's new attitude made it better. Without thinking, She nuzzled into his chest, and for the second time that night. She fell asleep.
