'Yah, I am fine' she continued on her path. She thought she was fine, but she noticed she was limping when she began running

He watched her as she ran and noticed it too. He rode his bike up to her.

'Ayuzawa, I know you are hurt. At least let me help' she looked at him in disbelief

'It was my mistake anyways. No, thank you, I am going home!' she lied

'Ayuzawa, your house is that way' he pointed in the opposite direction

'I know where my house is, now leave me alone'

She kept on running, she saw a rip in her pants on her shin, and it was red. I looked up at the road and focused on getting away from Takumi.

'Ugh...' she kept going though

Takumi caught up to her again 'Ayuzawa, don't force yourself, just come with me' he said with care and kindness in his voice

'You are the one who hit me! Now you want me not to force myself!' she pointed at him

'Well, I tried nicely' he sighed and grabbed her waist and hoisted her up on his bike in one swift movement. Her legs are dangling off the side of his bike and she is sitting half on the bike and half on his thigh. He started to pedal.

'What are you doing?!' she yelled while looking at where he was driving

'I tried to ask you nicely, but you wouldn't listen' he said while looking at the road 'now don't move unless you want us both to fall off' he said a bit of seriousness in his voice.

She didn't dare to move 'you are such an idiot' she couldn't breathe properly she was so close to him. He had a dark blue sweater over a light green t-shirt and had pants. Her shoulder was nudging into his chest. She couldn't control it.

'Yup, I am the idiot, who runs while looking back, that is me alright' he looked down at her and smiled. Misaki's cheeks almost immediately turned red.

'Hmmp' she looked at the road

He was on broken road so the ride for Misaki was bumpy. She held on to the first thing that she could find-Takumi's sweater

'We are almost there' he said to her and he smiled lightly. She just looked up at him.

'Almost where?' she asked still holding on to Takumi's sweater

'To my house, of course' he looked down to find Misaki grabbing on to his sweater

'What, why there?' she was confused as to why he would take her to his house.

'Where else are we going to treat you?'

'How about my house' she said

'But you forbid me to go in, right' he had sarcasm in his voice

'True' she said quietly

They arrived at his high rise condo. Misaki looked up at how tall it was. When she did the back of head hit Takumi shoulder and he just smiled. She noticed that there were about 25 floors and the faces of the building were all windows. It made her dizzy by just looking up.

They came to a haul but Misaki didn't notice she was just astounded that he lived in this expensive place

'You can get down now, Ayuzawa' he had on foot planted on the ground and was looking at the back of Misaki head

Misaki whirled her head around to see his face 'oh... Right' she got off without a problem. Takumi rolled his bike in the condo.

'We should go quickly, your leg isn't holding up' he looked at her shin

'Okay' she all she managed to say she held the door open for him and the they waited for the elevator, Misaki started 'you didn't tell me that you lived in a high rise condo' she looked him in the eye

'Well, whenever I try to talk to you, you always yell at me or walk away' he said while looking at her

That was true, she thought. She didn't say anything but she continued to stare at him and so did Takumi. When the elevator came, which was in a few seconds, he was the first to break eye contact.

They got in and Takumi pressed the button to his floor-18. While in the elevator, Takumi tried to angle his bike in a position so he could get out the easiest. They didn't say a word to each other, even though no one was in the elevator with them. When the elevator opened the doors to Takumi floor, he got out first and led Misaki to his apartment.

Misaki followed Takumi into his apartment. He unlocked the door and pushed his bike through the door first before holding it out for Misaki.

It had a spacious living with only a loveseat couch. There was open kitchen connected to it with nothing on the counter. There was a coat room on the right side of the door. I took my running shoes off trying not to move my injured leg as possible. Holding on the wall for support I took off the uninjured leg's shoe off. Takumi was also taking his shoes off while I was slowly taking mine off. Takumi bent down and took of my inured foot's shoes, without causing me any pain. I was going to object he stopped me by looking up at me for a second when he was helping me. Why would he live alone? Where is his family? Why don't they live with him? Does he have parents? Or siblings? These were all the questions that were running through my head. But I couldn't ask any of them.

I silently stumbled into his living room. He led the way.

'Sit, and don't move' he pointed to the couch. I didn't object or look at him, but I knew there was worry in his eyes. I sat down trying to angle my foot to a position where it would hurt the least. Takumi rushed to a room which I presume was the bathroom. I unzip my jacket. I didn't know why he wasn't teasing me because he usually does. Maybe it was because I am hurt. I don't know.

He came back with a pillow and a small plastic put the pillow under my injured leg and put the box, which was a first aid kit, on the coffee table.

'Well, at least you aren't crying' he smiled at me

'What am I, a baby' I defended

'Adults cry, too you know'

I couldn't say anything to that because I knew it was true. Why do I always end up saying the wrong answers when I am talking to him?

'Okay, so I am going to roll your pants, up' I didn't know if he was asking or saying what he was going to do. But I just simply nod.

He rolls it up over my knees. He looks so serious, like he is going to amputate my whole leg off. He takes some of clear liquid, probably some anti-septic and wipes it on skin around the cut with a cotton ball. I gaze around the room while he is cleaned my wound, I did not want to see. He has his laptop plugged into the wall. And the walls are painted with a shade of really light blue. Takumi's kitchen counter also has nothing on it. And then my darted to him. His sleeves are rolled up and eyes are trained so tightly on my leg. His fingers are so long but it moves quickly. Then I stare at his face and look at each detail. Why in the world am I looking at him!

I let out an unexpected sneeze in my arm.

He chuckles and looks up at me to meet my eyes, and they do. He says 'I guess you are not stronger than the cold' while his hands lay on my leg. His hand is warm against my skin.

'It is just a sneeze, that doesn't mean I am sick' I bluntly say

He continues to look at me and he smiles with a know it all face 'but it can lead to a cold, if you leave it untreated'

'Do you know everything?' I say without thinking, regretting it quickly.
