The next day, Mew knew his mom told his dad because his dad said to him, "Bye, Mew, have a veeery nice day at school today," and winked. Mew gave him a fake angry face and said back, "Very funny, Dad." He waved to the two and went out the door and flew towards his school, where he would lecture Mewtwo about not doing "dirty things".
Mewtwo sat in his bed, meditating. He was having some trouble, though, because thoughts of Mew would float across his mind when he was caught off guard. He didn't make any efforts to try to clear them from his head, though. He rather enjoyed having Mew freely cajole across his mind, especially since he was naked.
At school, Mew sought out the lone psychic, wondering where he was, when he was greeted by one of his, say...rougher friends. A Loudred and Salamance strode up to him, and Loudred said, well, loudly, "Mew, buddy, where ya been? Why don't you hang around us any more?" Salamance picked up, "Yeah, I was just wondering that! Your mommy told ya that we's a bad influence on ya?" Mew smiled nervously and replied, "Of course not, I've just been a little...busy is all." Loudred grinned and boomed," Ooh-ho, ho, ho, looks like our little Mew's got himself a GIRLFRIEND!" The whole hallway turned and looked in their direction as Mew blushed hotly and waved his hands at the two, stammering, "N-no, that's not it! I've just been busy, with like, school and stuff, you know?!" Salamance just rolled his eyes at Mew and said, "Well, that's not the point. Listen, I'm having a party at my house this weekend, Saturday. You in or you ghey?" Mew mumbled, "Well, I don't know..." Salamance just tsk'ed and continued, "Oh, come on, just tell your parents you're going to a friend's house! I mean, I AM your, friend, aren't I?" Mew looked up and said, "Of course you are! Alright, I guess... Is it like, your birthday or something?" Salamance and Loudred just looked at each other for a second, then burst out laughing loudly. "Yeah, that's it all right, just come, okay? I mean, the whole school knows you, so tons of people should come if you do." The two left and Mew just stood there. He sighed. What had I gotten myself into this time? he thought grimly.
Since he couldn't find Mewtwo, he telepathically called to him. MEWTWO? He waited a while for a response, then heard a weak, ...Yes...? Mew sent him, Are you okay? You sound sick. Mewtwo responded, No, I just woke up... Oh, OH FUCK! I JUST WOKE UP?! Shit, I guess I'll stay home, then. I don't feel too good, anyways. I think that's why I slept in so long. Sorry, Mew, enjoy your day at school... He sent Mew another heart image, and Mew sent one back. Feel better, okay? he sent to Mewtwo, then headed towards his first class of the day of the week.
Later on, Mewtwo just finished dry gagging something he didn't even know he ate, kneeling at the toilet and shivering. Positive he was done, he just sat on his knees and wrapped his arms around his cold body. He was sicker than he thought, apparently. He was afraid that he couldn't get near Mew for a while, it was looking to be a nasty bout of illness for him. After a minute of shivering and kneeling, Mewtwo got up and grabbed a tissue, wiping his mouth. He leaned over the sink and turned it on. He psychically grabbed some water and popped it into his mouth, swishing out the acidic bile. He then spat it out and shuffled over to his bed. He collapsed heavily onto it and weakly pulled the covers over himself, curling up as tightly as he could, as he sank into a feverish sleep.
After school, Mew tried to contact Mewtwo. Hello, Mewtwo? It's me, Mew. Are you feeling alright? He only heard a fuzzy cacophony of voices and sounds, so he assumed he must be asleep. Mew decided to visit Mewtwo's house directly then, so he read through one of Mewtwo's memories. It was just a simple memory from him going home yesterday, so Mew closed his eyes and followed the route.
Mew gasped at what stood before his eyes as he opened them. In front of him lay an enormous mansion, although most of the front was destroyed. Mew looked and saw a sort of makeshift entrance, concealed by a cloth gently waving in the breeze. Mew walked through the entrance and was greeted by a long hallway. He could smell Mewtwo in one of the rooms, but it was nowhere near the front, so he continued further down. He dared not look in the rooms, because he swore to himself that he saw a ghost realm in one of them. He sniffed the air as he came to the staircase. Hmm... he thought. Up. He floated up to the balcony and was met by another hallway. He then smelled it really strong. Mewtwo was in the next room over. Mew cautiously opened the door and peeked through. He quietly giggled to himself at the sight of Mewtwo sleeping peacefully, a serene expression on his face. Mew walked over to Mewtwo and raised a hand to touch him. He whispered quietly, "Mewtw-AACK!"
Mew felt himself being held into place and psychically strangled roughly. Mewtwo rose quickly and glared at the blurry intruder. WHO ARE YOU, AND WHY ARE YOU TRESPASSING HERE?! Mewtwo's angry voice boomed deafeningly in Mew's mind as Mew tried to struggle. He squeaked out, "M-Mewtwo, please... St-stop..." He felt the world around him grow dim as Mewtwo continued to strangle him. Mewtwo blinked a few times and saw, to his absolute horror, Mew floating limply with his eyes rolled up and his tongue lolled out slightly. He instantly released his psychic hold, and Mew fell limply to the floor, unmoving. Mewtwo fell out of his bed, stumbling to make his way towards the still cat. Oh, no, please, no... Mewtwo thought desperately as tears filled his eyes. He gathered up the cat and lay him on his still warm bed. Desperately, he checked for a pulse, and, to his immense relief, found it still beating steadily. Mewtwo sat and stroked Mew's fuzzy head as Mew came around. He blinked several times and moaned, "Uhhn...?" He looked over to Mewtwo, who jumped at his sudden arousal (no, not THAT kind), and whispered, "I'm sorry..." Mewtwo began to sob and gathered Mew up in his arms. He noticed with a tug at his heart that Mew flinched slightly as he touched him. Mewtwo nuzzled his cheek on the top of Mew's fuzzy head and crooned, "No, I'm so, SO sorry. I promise I'll never hurt you ever again, Mew..."
Mewtwo buried his face in Mew's shirt and sobbed deeply, and Mew began to cry too. He lifted his small arms and wrapped them around Mewtwo's neck, avoiding the strange tube that ran behind it, and squeezed into Mewtwo. After a while, Mewtwo straightened up and wiped the tears from his eyes, and Mew looked into his eyes. Mewtwo slowly leaned in and kissed Mew lightly on the forehead. Mew leaned into it, but Mewtwo pushed him back. "I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have done that. I really am sick, and I don't want you to catch it..."
Mew frowned, then said, "You shouldn't be by yourself if you're sick! Come to my house, we'll take care of you! My mom is really good with medicine, she was one of the only non-Chansey nurses at the hospital when I was younger." Mew crawled around in Mewtwo's lap and felt his forehead, which was slightly warm compared to his usual coolness. Mew nodded and said simply, "Yep. You're coming with me."
