*𝙼𝚎𝚒'𝚜 𝙿𝙾𝚅*

"Ow!" I said in a panic as I burned my hand on the hot skillet my dad was using for the vegetables.

"Ah- sorry Mei I should've warned you before I asked you to move the skillet, I'm sorry I thought the handle would have cooled down by now" My dad apologized. I could see the guilt well up in his eyes

"It's no worries! I should have been more careful! Don't apologize!-" I let off a warm smile and stopped rubbing my hand to avoid him feeling more at fault. "I'll be back in just a second, gonna just run some cold water on this in the restroom"
-
I have gotten ten times better with handling my emotions not just around my parents but in public too, I don't want others to think I'm overwhelmed when it happens. But ow- geez I hate the heat.
I felt my pandas ears flop up as I felt the burning sensation. 'At least I got out in time' I felt my inner thoughts say as I quickly paced into the restroom.

My tail fluffed out from right under my skirt not like I wasn't used to having my tail do that it's just shocking sometimes and gets a little itchy when I don't brush it right..

..

Now seems to be one of those times.
As my tail popped out from seeming no where I yipped and leaped forward a bit closer to the sink quickly turning on the cold water feeling the frigid clear liquid drip through the wrinkles in my hand
I immediately felt relief but I know burns don't go that easy. I did my best to keep my one hand under the water as I reached under the sink with the other..

It was a bit of an awkward position for me-. I lashed my hand around searching for the Vaseline to hopefully use it as a sort of ointment not knowing if it's actually useful in a situation such as this-. I felt around for about a good 10-15 seconds before my hand hits against a small tub seeming to have something smeared on it- only being able to feel it at the moment

I pulled out the container and as you can assume a small strangely shaped container of Vaseline rested in my hands. With a tiny bit of the gel like ointment smeared on the rim of the container. I gently tugged my growing red hand from the cold water to assist with opening the container

"Ah-" I peeped out as it seemed to hurt to touch things. I placed my hand back under the cool water and resulted to just using my mouth instead.

I bit down on the top of the container and pulled down with my free hand in order to pop the lid off of it. I spit out the lid not having concern for wether or not I'll find it again.

I placed the container down and scooped out a bit of the ointment and spread it all throughout the palm of my hand. Relief washed through me as I waited for a sec before beginning to wonder where the cap went.

I searched around the bathroom trying to find the lid that I just seemed to toss across the room went. I took a knee and searched around the floor eventually finding it slid underneath the sink cabinets little divot.

I crawled over and suck my hand other in attempt to grab the lid.

"Haha Mei what are you doing there? Do you need help?" A familiar voice popped up behind me

"Wha-" I jumped up not before hooking my hand on the lid and then hitting my head on the sink

"Owwww, what's with me and getting hurt today!"
I placed the lid on the sink and rubbed the back of my head in agony and dismay now feeling a sort of a pulsing feeling in the back of my head.
