Me and Eiji walked back into our room still covered in food. Eiji put towels and clean clothes in the bathroom. I pulled off my shirt and walked into the bathroom. Eiji was sitting on the floor waiting for the water to warm up,

"Hey there." I said. Eiji took out his hair and looked at me,

"Hi. Just waiting for the water." He said. "Then we can not be covered with food." I picked Eiji up sat down and put him on my lap,

"Oh- hello again." He said. I put my chin on his shoulder and looked up at him.

"Hi." I said, my voice low.

"I think the waters warm now." Eiji said trying to move but I held him tight. "Okay. I'm not going anywhere am I?"

"Nope." I said and shook my head. 

"You are really clingy." Eiji said. 

"I know. And I just really wanna hug you, and cuddle with you." I said. 

"We can cuddle after we shower." Eiji said and stood up. 

"It's 9 in the morning." I said. 

"I know. We also need to look for a puppy." Eiji said. 

"Right. We're getting a dog." I said.

I was standing in the bathroom in front of the mirror looking through my hair to check if I got all the food out. I saw in the reflection of the mirror that Eiji was looking at me, I looked back at him,

"Why are you staring at me?" I asked. 

"Can I not admire my beautiful husband?" He asked, being dramatic. I laughed,

"Of course you can. People admiring me is nothing new." I said digging through my hair again. "I mean who wouldn't admire me, I'm gorgeous!" I turned around and sat on the sink. Eiji laughed,

"I lot of people did admire you, in the wrong way." He said. I nodded and got off the sink and looked in the mirror. I must've been looking at myself for a while because Eiji asked,

"Are you okay? What are you thinking about?"

"Was I a whore?" I asked. Eiji wasn't expecting that.

"Where did that question come from?" He asked. 

"I don't know. My mind just went back to when I was 17." I said. 

"You were a wild teenager." Eiji said.

"I wasn't just wild, I was out of control." I said. 

"You didn't have control over your life Aslan. You lost control when you were 7." Eiji said. "And getting involved with Banana Fish made everything worse."

"If I didn't get involved and steal that sample a lot of people would still be alive." I said looking down.

"But if you didn't get involved Arthur, Dino, Foxx, and Marvin would still be alive. And they tormented you, you hated them." Eiji said. I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed with Eiji.
