The cure for one is the cure for the other (PaperHat Fic) [Ongoing]

What's under the bag?

So? When are you going to show me what's under the bag? He repeats.

W-what?!?! I yell out in shock.

I've been wondering for quite some time~
I know there's something under there,
I've touched you through your bag,
It's only gotten me more curious.
Is there something your hiding?

It can't be that you're hiding your identity,
Your in the most protected facility in the world,
if they haven't come for demencia yet,
i doubt anyone would go for you,
If anything, knowing your identity would make you more feared, so why do it?

Unless....
It's something more?
He says questioningly.

Not wanting to answer,
i decide to stay silent, hoping his curiosity will die down if i just let him talk.

He waits for my response, but when i don't respond, he continues.

Can you at least answer me this?
Flug... are you human?

I usually wouldn't pry for information like this, but i must admit,
my curiosity is overwhelming.
When you get injuries, it seems to be consistent with that of a mortal.
Your hands are human,
your heart rate and breathing seems to mimic that of a humans-

You pay attention to my breathing???
I was trying to keep quiet, but it just slipped out.

He smiles at my break in silence.
Not constantly, but when...were close...
The change in your heart rate and breathing is noticable.

What?!? You could tell!?
I yell out in embarrassment.

He chuckles evilly.
Like i said, it's noticable.

I sink into the bed and feel myself get warm.
Ugh...how embarrassing....

So, are you? He looks at me eagerly.

Human? I ask quietly.
He looks at me excitedly awaiting my answer.

....
Yes? I say embarrassed.

He stands up quickly, noticably shocked.
Really?~

I nod shyly.

I notice his face change to a sour expression.
And i feel my heart sink.
I can feel my anxiety fire up, god, why did i tell him...

Is that a bad thing? I say obviously upset.
He looks at me confused.
I didn't mean to say that out loud! I yell at myself internally.

No, of course not! He says in a huff, almost offended.
I feel myself relax a bit.
It's just... I feel like, it's somehow worse? what I've put you through?

Black hat...

He avoids eye contact with me.
Knowing that your body is human,
I suppose I'm just glad that your injuries weren't worse.
He looks back at me.
If you are human...
How can you eat and sleep so little?!?

I quickly look away from him, embarrassed that i was being scolded.
I um... I'm use to it?
I look up at him to see his expression.
He looks unamused.

Flug,
We both know how fragile humans are...
Please, take care of yourself.
He has a hint of red in his face, as if he himself couldn't believe he said such things.

I feel myself blush down to my neck and quickly look away.
All i can do is nod.
I look back up and see black hat standing only a few inches from me.
When did he get so close?!?

He didn't say anything, but I could see his face get redder, it seemed like he was fighting himself on whether or not to say something.
He opened his mouth for a second but closed it again.
Black hat? I ask, trying to encourage him.
