Opposite of Normal

~Six~

I hand Luca a plate and stare out the widow into the woods. I put a pancake on a plate. "You should eat more then that. You need energy to run." He shoves a fork full of pancake into his mouth. I glare at him and add another pancake. He smiles goofily his cheek full of food. I cut my food up in pieces and slid pieces around my plate. Luca glares at me which just looks stupid with the food shoved in his mouth. I let my eyes wonder out the widow again. I feel the fork ripped out of my hands and whip my head towards Luca who is holding the fork with pancake at my mouth, like how you would feed a baby. I shake my head at him. He glares and moves the fork so its almost touching my mouth. "I'm not gonna let yo-" I jump in surprise as Luca puts the fork in my mouth. I bit down on the metal and he drops it. I glare at him as he laughs. "You should of seen you're face!" He sputters and drops to the floor laughing. I angrily stab another piece of pancake and shove it into my mouth. He sits up and whips a tear from his eye. "Oh come on Kit you know it was funny." He pokes my shoulder. I turn away from him and take another bit. "Kit." He pokes me again. I ignore him. "Kit!" I roll my yes at him. "KIT!" I turn to him letting the smile creep on to my face. He smiles back and sits down again. "I would say we could watch a movie or something but it would be better to go to bed." I nod and finish my plate.

Luca showed me to the guest bed room then pointed out his room was just across the hall if needed. I nod and quickly close my door. I'll I want to do is sleep forever. I move to jump on the bed when I see myself in the mirror. Wow. Dark old blood stains run down the front of my shirt, dirt and grass stains cover my jeans, arms, chest and face. I notice the scrapes and bruises that I was to weak or tired to heal. I look around the room. Letting out a huff I stand up. Looks like I have to ask where the bathroom is. I open my door quietly and look down the dark hall. I slowly tip toe across the hall. A shadow runs across the hall and I bullet into Luca's room. He jumps when I swing open the door. "What's wrong?!" He searches my face for something. I take a deep breath and peak out the door. I laugh quietly to myself when I see the shadow was just from a tree on the outside of the window waving in the wind. I turn back to Luca. "It's fine I just scared myself." He nods. I notice he doesn't have a shirt or pants on. Just boxers. I feel heat run across my cheeks. "Um....I was just wondering where I could shower?" I check out his chest then flick my gaze to a picture on the wall. I look back just in time to see him staring down at his non clothes. "Oh..Ya sorry about this." He picks up sweats in pulls them on. "You can just use the shower in here if that's okay with you?" He says awkwardly. He runs his hand threw his hair and kind of points at the bathroom. I nod then speed walk to the bathroom. Shutting the door quietly behind me.

I brush out my hair with my hands and braid it into a tight Dutch side braid. I stare down at my gross clothes. I open the door a bit and stick my head out. "Luca?" He looks up from his book. "Yes?" I glance at my feet then look at him again. "Is there a way I could borrow a shirt, pair of pants and um underwear?" I choke a bit on the last word. He smiles at me and starts going through drawers. I step up and down feeling naked in my tight towel. He holds up what I asked for. He smirks and walks over to me. "I would let you borrow a bra but I lost my last one." I laugh at him and shake my head, taking the clothes from him. I shut the door. "You should of left that open!" I hear Luca yell from the other side of the closed door. I let out a little chuckle and ignore the heat running across my face. I pull on his clothes. I pull up the collar of his shirt and breath in deeply. Then drop it likes it's on fire. I did not just do that! I stare at my self wide eyed in the mirror. I'm going crazy! I grab my pile of clothes and open the door. Luca stares at me from his bed. I watch as his eyes wonder down my body. "You look better in those clothes then I did." He smirks goofily. I roll my eyes. "I'm gonna go to bed now. Thanks for the clothes." I walk out the door and close it behind me. Taking a deep breath I walk across the hall, slipping into my own borrowed room.

I jump and fling the covers off. What was that?! I fall of my bed, staring wide eyed out the window. I take deep breaths and wait. I jump again when the sound comes again. With out thinking I jump up and run out my bed room straight into Luca's room. "Luca?!" I whisper into the darkness. There's movement on the bed then a lamp switches on. "What scaredy cat?" Luca smiles at me from his bed. His hair flings everywhere and the still sleepy look covers his face. I brush of the nickname. "I heard something outside my window." Luca sighs. "Kit you went throw a lot today so I understand perfectly why you're so jumpy." I wait for the but. "But, I don't think it was anything to be afraid about." I grab on to my borrowed shirt. "I'm sorry for waking you. I just haven't been out of the crazy house for so long or have every been separated from my close friends. I will go back to my room now." I curse at how childish I sound. I should be stronger then this! Luca groans then pats his bed. "Come here." I look at him in surprise. "What?" He looks me in the eye. "Come sleep in my bed for tonight." I hesitate then slowly walk over to his bed. He lifts the covers for me to slip in. I do just that and pull the blankets up to my ears. We lay awkwardly for a bit before Luca slips his arms around me and pulls me closer to him. "You can always slip into my bed when you feel scared. Always." He says in a low voice. I blush at the how sexy it sounded. Seriously what is up with my lately! I relax into his hold and drift off.
