Shizuo's point of View

I leaned back with both hands shoved in my pockets. I followed Tom around as always as we passed the park. We sat on the edge of the water fountain and I lit a smoke and took a few drags.

"Those things'll kill you, Shi-" I blew the smoke in his face, adding a "Shut up"

I lean back and take a few more drags, looking at the pale moon.

*Ah…. ahchoo! *

Tom and me turn our heads towards the feminine sneeze. It's that girl! I thought and walked over to you. It's late…she's gonna get herself kidnapped at this hou-

*Ahchoo! Cough, cough…. sniffle* … I turn around and sits back down next to Tom. "Tch…not like I care"

"You know that chick? Score, man, she's such a hottie!"

"Hah?" I raised my brow at Tom. That dirty bastard. A devilish smile spreads from ear to ear on the man with the dreads' face.

"Hey what're you.."

"Shh~!" Tom sneaks over to you and takes a good look at your calm, sleeping face.

*Ahchoo! *

Tom stumbles backwards and wipes his face.

"Damn! Is this girl sick?! She keeps sneezing!" Tom stands and looks at you again, trying not to get to close. Sick? The word echoes in my mind. Why is she sleeping out here? Doesn't she have a place to sleep? I looked at you for a while.

"Ugh whatever, lets just go, Shizuo" he said to me, standing and walking towards me.

"…Yeah"

We both start walking until we arrive at Tom's place. He waved at me as I walked off. I take a few drags from my cigarette with my hands shoved in my pockets and found myself back at the park. You were gone. Tch... What was I thinking, what a pain..

*Ahchoo! *

My eyes widen and my surprised face broke into a chuckle. There you were, lying at my feet. I can't believe I didn't notice.

"Hey, you awake?" You didn't reply except for another sneeze.

I toss my vest around you. You were so small, it wrapped all around you. I heave you onto my back without a problem and start to walk. My neck prickles as your breath sweeps across it. You were warm. I can't remember the last time I felt someone's warmth. It felt…Safe. I had a problem, in my hands, and on my back. Where am I supposed to take her?!

I decided a hotel would work but every one we went to, they were all full. Must be the festival next week. I heard that you could get free stuff if you go with a girl in a kimono. I looked back at you and shook my head. I don't even know her name… I cant go askin-

*Ahchoo!*

Damn! If you get me sick I'l-

Your warm pulse echoes on my back. You felt awfully warm…you must've been sick. Each step I took began to become quicker and quicker until I reached an all out stride to my apartment. I couldn't believe it… I was worried.

I unlocked my door, holding you with one of my arms and ran to my room as fast as possible. I almost literally threw you on the bed. I regretted that.

I can't believe you were still sleeping. I put all the blankets I had on you and brought in water, medicine and a wet towel. I put my hand on your head but I couldn't tell if you were warm or not.

I sighed and moved your overgrown bangs out of your face and pressed my forehead onto yours. To the worst of my luck, of course, you opened your eyes at that exact moment. My eyes widened like yours and we both jolted backwards as quickly as we could.

"L-look! Its not what it looks li-"

"Th-That's okay, I understand. You saw me on the bench, didn't you? Thank you for bringing me here, I must've been heavy… Ahchoo!"

"Oi! Lay down! Just sleep, I wont.."

"Wont..?"

"I'll lock the door and sleep outside okay? You probably shouldn't trust a stranger.."

"I trust you, but my clothes are dirty, anyway so I'll just.."

She doesn't have a place to stay, and she doesn't have any kind of bag…what's she thinking?

"Zzz…."

"YOUR ASLEEP?! JEEZ!" I lay you down and walk out and plop onto my cheap, old couch. "Sigh…crap…what've I gotten myself into.."
