Idiot

"Hey we're at your place" I said we stopped at an apartment building which was surrounded by a lot flowers which almost looked like a hanging garden. Typical of her to choose a place like this, I turned around and saw her sleeping with her face red "Hey we're here" I tried to tap her cheek but when I touched her, her skin was very hot. Damn, I think she has a fever! She's still the same idiot five years ago. It's going to be hard to carry her while holding an umbrella at the same time. I just can't afford for her to get even sicker. What was she thinking standing under the rain? I decided to go out and look for the nearest person available in the building. I entered inside the lobby and saw a blonde woman at the reception desk.

"Do you know Mikan Sakura?" I asked, I haven't said that name in almost a decade and it's funny to think I was with her for almost three hours and I didn't even mention her name even once. I was scared pronouncing those syllables, scared of the fact that if I say her name I might just even fall for her more. I couldn't even contain it when I saw her today; I almost felt a burst of emotions.

"Mikan? Do you have a message for her?" asked the blonde woman, I had no time to chit chat with her. I explained to her the situation and she instantly followed in on my request. I went out to get her and the blonde woman trailed after holding the umbrella. I slowly lifted her up and the woman put the umbrella over her while I transported her to the building.

"Her room is on the 16th floor" she said opening the elevator for us. 16th floor? You got to be kidding me! I need to take care of her now! "Don't put your panties on a twist, we will get there soon" she said as if she knew I was going to say that. This woman is strange.

"I can't believe Mikan would be so careless to let herself get sick. She always took good care of her health" said the woman "I'm Serina, the landlady"

"Nice to meet you" I said bowing, it feels so awkward when your greeting someone while carrying a sick person.

"Tsk, poor Mikan, she is always such a sweet girl" said Serina caressing her forehead; I can tell she was somewhat close to her. We finally reached the 16th floor and Serina dashed towards her room and quickly opened it.

"I'll get some medicine and other supplies, for now you have to take off her clothes!" I began to feel the blood drain from my face.

"W-What? Me! I can't do that!" I yelled, Serina glared at me with those sharp eyes of hers which made me tingle down my spine.

"Would you prefer that she gets a serious illness from those damp clothes? You can strip her until her underwear, I'll give a sponge bath but right now I need to hurry and get the supplies. I doubt you know where they are" she explained, she does make perfect sense but still, taking off her clothes? I have no time to think about my hormones, I'll just have to do what is necessary. I hope she doesn't hate me even more for this. Serina rushed outside the room to get the supplies while I settled her on the couch and stood there staring at her weak form, I can't believe I'm about to do this. I kneeled down and started closing my eyes while I took off her shirt. I know I sound like an elementary student but I don't want to risk anything that would make anything unpleasant happen. Sure, I had about twelve girlfriends, or wait was twenty-something? I'm pretty sure it reached more than forty. But she was different; she's the one person I never want to hurt. After I stripped off the shirt I started on her pants, I had to close my eyes again and Serina came rushing in, thank goodness!

"What are you doing? I've only been gone for five minutes and all you could take off was her shirt?! What are you elementary!?" she yelled, she pushed me away and started undressing her more quickly than I ever did on a single piece of shirt "You act like you've never seen the woman body before!" she said turning around to talk to me, which unfortunately gave me a full view of her…ahem…female anatomy.

"Whoa! Wait until I'm out of the room!" I yelled running into another room.

"And you call yourself a man when you're useless in this kind of situation! And don't even dare say you're a doctor cause you make a lousy one!" yelled Serina from the other room. I sure am glad I'm not, why am I acting like such a kid? If Serina tells this to her I swear I might sneak into that blonde woman's house and burn her to shreds. I sat down and found myself sitting on a bed. It was her bedroom, filled with pink walls. I looked around and saw pictures and papers scattered everywhere. There were clippings of different places and articles pinned on a board along with magazines, books and maps lying on the floor and bed. It was really a messy place, how can she make it so messy? Was this a part of her job? I saw a very specific paper posted on her computer: German trip, Munich. February XX, 20XX

One of her projects perhaps? I was about to touch her computer to check it but I heard Serina's voice interrupting my curiosity. I went out of the bedroom into the living room and I saw her in pajamas and a blanket over her with an ice pack on her forehead making her breathing very steady. Serina had finished taking care of her and she was about to leave.

"Wait! What about her?" I asked as she stopped and looked at me with a glare that sent shivers down my spine.

"You take care of her while I'm gone; I have some things to take care of. As far as I know, she is your responsibility" she said in a monotone voice.

"What?!"

"You brought her here you take care of her" she just simply said and bolted out of the apartment. What am I supposed to do now? I can't just leave her here, even if I wanted to if Serina saw me in the lobby she would kill me. I guess I have no choice; this day has been really crazy and hard to digest in my mind. Its enough I have to get a shock from seeing her and now I have to stay with her. Hope she doesn't mind I stay overnight. I closed the door and stared at her sleeping face. Haven't seen that in the longest time, reminds me of high school when I first met her. I was lost and didn't know my way around school. I tumbled on something and realized it was her sleeping on the grass. Those ten seconds of seeing her sleeping face was something you wouldn't even want to miss in a blink of an eye. She suddenly woke up with an annoyed expression on her face, apparently she values her sleep a lot. Thus that was when my love for her grew. Those big eyes and that smile, her recklessness to drop everything and help other people, that pout she did when she was upset and her flushed expression whenever she felt embarrassed. All of that I loved and when I thought my heart turned cold in five years it started to melt again in just one day. Stupid girl, she used always call me sly but doesn't she know she's the sly one with that face of hers? Mikan Sakura, you make me so messed up, it's you who people should start calling the genius not me.

Just when I thought my personal ranting wouldn't end, I ended up drifting into unconsciousness right besides her holding on to the hand I shouldn't have let go of five years ago. To think I wasn't yearning for her touch until I felt it again, I grasped on it tight not wanting to let it go hoping to make up for the 1,780 days I wasn't with her.

Are we both stupid for not accepting it?
