Sorry, I haven't updated for AGES. Been busy ;)
My hand shook as I poured the boiling water into the mug with the hot chocolate powder. I wondered whether the water might spill all over the table and land on my feet. I put down the kettle and grabbed the milk before pouring that in too.
"Somebody's tired," said a casual voice.
In my surprise I whirled around to face Klaus dropping the milk carton in the process. Suddenly Klaus was kneeling down on the floor with the milk carton in his hand. There was no milk on the floor. Had he just caught that? Klaus got up and handed me the carton.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Meh," I answered as I screwed the lid back on the milk carton. "Sleepy."
"You look it," Klaus remarked.
I smiled as I took my hot chocolate and walked half way across the room to the table when some of the hot chocolate went over the side of the cup and burnt my hand.
"OWW!" I growled through my teeth as I speed walked over to the table and plonked the mug down harshly.
Shit that hurt! Klaus smirked slightly as he sat down opposite me.
"It's not funny, it hurts," I said quietly.
Klaus shook his head a little before he made eye contact with me.
"It's just I only remember just how fragile humans are when I'm around them," Klaus replied.
I raised an eyebrow as I placed my burnt finger in my mouth. It really did hurt.
"If it really hurts that much then have some of my blood," Klaus said like it was obvious.
"No! As soon as you start bleeding, I'll start screaming," I said quickly.
"Fair enough," Klaus said with a shrug.
I sipped my hot chocolate but spat it back out as I burnt my tongue.
"Oww," I muttered feeling annoyed now.
"In all fairness it's not going to cool within a minute," Klaus chuckled.
"Stop being over intelligent," I smiled in return.
"I was wondering if perhaps I could help you with the screaming issue," Klaus asked.
I stared at him. Was he being genially serious?
"No, thanks," I said.
"Okay well what happens when you go out shopping or something and somebody falls over, and they then start bleeding. You'll get hauled into an ambulance and put in a hysterical department of a mental asylum," Klaus said.
I stared at him blankly.
"Actually, I don't like shopping. I order everything off of the internet. And I'm never around people anyway," I replied.
"It was just an idea," Klaus said innocently as he raised his hands in the air like I was about to shoot him. I said nothing and stared at the table.
"Okay," I said finally breaking the silence.
"What?" Klaus asked confused.
"I'll do it," I replied.
"Are you feeling okay?"
"Defiantly not," I answered truthfully.
