Broken Love FanFic

Soft Handed

 May woke the following day with a foggy mind. It had been months since she slept adequately. Moving from her bed, she stretched her arms high above her head, working out her muscles. Feeling a bit more awake, she made her way out of her bedroom and down the hallway to the bathroom. She was halfway through her morning routine when she could feel someone watching her. Laying down her hairbrush, she faced the open doorway to see Zyggy.

"Good morning May," he said. The confusion on her face caused him to panic. "I heard movement and wanted to make sure you were okay," he explained.

May had forgotten she had Zyggy in her home last night. Was he the reason she was able to sleep? Hearing Zyggy panic caused her to relax a little bit. "Zyggy, I'm sorry I passed out on you," she said.

Zyggy stopped panicking when May spoke, " you needed the rest," he said.

May let out a small sigh. "Sleep or not, I should have made sure you were good to go before I went to bed," she said, not knowing he had taken her to bed.

Zyggy held up his hands. "I didn't mind," he said.

May could not argue with him any further. Even if she felt bad, there was nothing she could do about it. Moving from her sink to in front of Zyggy, she gave a warm smile. In such a short amount of time, she felt a connection with him, which seemed shared. Shifting on her feet, May thought of a way to apologize to Zyggy for making him sleep on her couch last night.

"How about breakfast," she said, she didn't have a lot, but she had enough to feed him and herself.

"Food sounds good," Zyggy said, moving out of her way. Due to her top being slightly up, he could see her bruise. It only made him feel sad while Dz got angry. "Did I hurt you when I caught you from falling?" he asked, remembering he had grabbed her around the waist.

May stopped dead in the hallway. "No, I am not sure why it didn't hurt like it should have, but it only stung for a moment," she answered.

"I want to hug her."

"Then do it."

"I don't want to scare her."

Zyggy and Dz went back and forth for a little bit before Dz switched out with Zyggy. Once in control, Dz moved close to May, not yet touching her but close enough that he could. He had a conversation with Mayumi but not May. He needed to know what she was okay with and what she was not.

"May, can you face me," Dz said, his tone as gentle as he could get.

May slowly turned around until she was facing Dz. She could hear the voice change and knew who was talking to her. She never did understand what caused Dz to switch with Zyggy, but she had a feeling it was for safety reasons. The close proximity to Dz did cause May's face to heat up and her heart to beat fast.

" Why did you need me to face you," she asked, not getting the reason for this request.

Dz pondered his words before he spoke. "Are you okay with being touched by us?" he asked, the look of confusion flashing across her face.

"In what way are you implying?" May had never liked anyone before, nor had anyone been interested in her.

"Must I show you?" Dz asked, raising one eyebrow.

May stood still, unable to voice her answer. All she could do was nod her head. Dz reached out and gently drug his fingers up her arm and to her throat before moving across her chest slightly but not enough to be invasive. She was not freaking out, nor was she looking at him with fear. Guiding her back against the wall, he leaned in near her ear.
