Ren sat in her room organizing her make-up for the millionth time that day. It was hard to do it with one hand but Ren was always up for a challenge. She'd been trying to keep herself busy all day through random activities. She'd already smeared her face with tooth-paste to kill a zit that was threatening to form, she'd read a few of the shorter books Maka had gotten her, she ate every piece of fruit in the apartment (not to mention the two pounds of bacon Jack had stored away and even watched some gush romance movie. Ren was starting to lose her mind. She again rearranged her lipsticks, now putting them in alphabetical order instead of colors, then she changed it to her most used colors to her least used.
Ren let out a loud, exasperated sigh as she threw her head back and stared at the ceiling, "where are those bitches?!" She groaned loudly. "I'm sooooooooooooo bored!" Ren nearly screamed.
Nearly twenty miles away Free was wondering around on the dunes near their hide-out. He couldn't get that girl out of his mind. Who the hell was she? Why could she turned into a wolf? His mind was running so fast it hurt. Free stopped walking and just looked towards Death City. He was feeling bad for scratching her that much, he must have really hurt her. He hoped she was okay.
Maybe he should go check on her, like they did in the movies.
Yeah! He should sneak back and see if she was okay! Then he wouldn't have to worry so much cause he'd no she was okay!
Looking behind him he saw the lights were off in the small shelter and knew Eruka was asleep, now would be his best bet to go see her.
Ren wondered around the apartment again, searching for something to do. Blair was out at Chupa Cabra's so she couldn't hang out with her and Spirit was go knows where (probably with Blair). Ren sat on the couch and stared at the TV. She knew there were things she could watch but she just couldn't bring herself to grab the remote out of boredom. She sighed and leaned back on the couch, readying herself to sprout routes and become one with it.
Free got past the Death City wall without incident and made his way down the streets, sniffing the air and trying to get her scent. It was hard to get and five times he wound up in the wrong place before deciding it had to be on the top floor of the apartment building in front of him. The lights were on and every now and then he saw the flicker of the TV as someone changed the channel. He looked around the building for an easy way to get up there before deciding he'd just take the stairs. The girl was fourth floor and it didn't take him long to get there, now he just had to find her room.
Free tried to move carefully so the ball and chain around his ankle wouldn't make too much noise. He went down two halls before deciding what door was hers. He looked at the door for a few moments before knocking on it. Deep in his mind he wondered if the gentlemanly thing wouldn't been to bring her a present. He turned down the hall before shaking his head and turning back to the door. He heard someone shuffling on the other side before the door opened.
It was her!
She looked as pretty as she did when he first saw her and she was alright!
Ren stood there for a moment, trying to piece together everything. The werewolf guy she'd fought earlier today was standing outside her apartment and smiling at her….
WHAT?!
Ren jumped back a bit before glaring at him, "what the bloody hell are you doing here?!" She whisper screamed at him.
"I uuhh… wanted to make sure you were okay, I felt like I shouldn't been nicer…Uhhh…." Free looked around for a moment before grabbing a vase off the table in the hallway and thrusting it towards Ren, "these're for you?" He said, blushing slightly. Ren stared at the flowers like it was a bomb before gently talking it and placing it on a table by the door. She'd put it back when he left. "So are you okay?"
"Huh? Oh, um, yeah, I'm fine, justa few stitches." Ren said, the awkwardness in the air was so thick it felt like she couldn't move.
"That's good, that's good, I just wanted to make sure, I'm sorry for hurting you." Free said, like he was apologizing for accidently using her tooth-brush.
"It's fine…" Ren stood there, wondering what else could happen. Neither of them made eye contact and it wasn't until Free pointed down the hall did they look up.
"I'm gonna…go now…um..sorry again." He said, turning and leaving.
"It's okay." Ren said, waving good-bye as he left before closing the door.

What the fuck just happened?
