Into The Rose Garden (Seidou x Kanae/Karren)

Chapter One hundred and thirteen - Exorcism

Well, home sweet home. And for once, Seidou himself gained control once more. Sure there are still steps to be taken by the young male, but nevertheless he remains hopeful. Though perhaps that could be attributed to Karren's efforts a few days prier.

Despite his debacle involving his family, he was happy.

The male awakes from the blaring sounds of his alarm clock, nearly breaking it with an eager fist. Sitting up, met with the assistance of Donut handing him a list written a little after... "Oh yeah, this thing... I should really add in some more stuff, huh?" Donut wanders off somewhere else. The list so far as follows: Take medication, get ready for the day, feed Donut, put on Donut's vest. Seidou huffs, bringing the list over to his working desk as he brainstormed the many things he was to do for that day, lightly fidgeting with the pencil. "Hmm..."

He adds check boxes and instructions: Do assigned housework, take Donut out for a walk, drop Donut off at a groomer's, shop for supplies for teaching, pick up meat from Kirishima, pick up Donut from groomer's.

Donut struts over, lightly tapping the male's knee with her paw, letting the bottles of pills down onto the floor.

Seidou looked down, pulling his hair back, smiling. "Goodness Donut, you didn't have to do that~..." Donut again leaves, only to come back much sooner with a bottle of water. Seidou ruffles the canine's mane, as she began panting warmly. "Aww~! Who's a good girl, who's a good girl~? You are, yes you are~!" Seidou chuckled warmly, taking two of his added nutrients, and one of his rc suppressants. He coughed and gagged softly, chugging the water down. "I will never not find that pleasing, I'll tell you what-!" 

Seidou's phone on the table by his bed vibrated and rang, standing up as he walked over to it. Pulling his hair back as he looked over the contact info. 'Dad...?' The male thought, before sighing and deciding the answer. "Hey Dad..." "O-Oh, Dou-Dou cakes... Hey um, how are you?"

Seidou went back over to his desk, sitting down as he glanced at the to do list for the day. "Eh, I'm making it manageable. You, or you calling to convince me to beg the CCG to find a cure for my PTSD again...?" Where did that come from exactly? As Seidou spoke in a sharp and sarcastic tone. Seiki sighs. "It wasn't with your PTSD, I was suggesting it for-! A-Anyway, it has nothing to do with that, I just... I think we should meet face-to-face, it's nothing bad, it's just-!" Seidou rolled his eyes, lightly tapping the paper with his pencil. "Where to and when...?" "Well there's this indoor golfing course, and I thought...we could discuss a bit while we play a little... I know that I've hurt you, and I wish to apologize. I just want to see you, I want to see how my boy is doing..."

Seidou scoffed, grabbing another piece of paper to write the address down, while his father gave the location. The two bid a farewell at the moment, and Seidou kept a straight expression as he added in a few more things: Take Donut for another walk, meet up with Dad at six o'clock, go back home to feed Donut.

Seidou stood up, brushing his teeth tirelessly before grabbing a towel and heading off into the bathroom.

Karren overhears the shower go off, coming out to see Donut patiently waiting in front of the door, list in her mouth. Karren chuckled warmly, knocking the door with care. "Oh Sei~... May I enter in?" A light chuckle is heard from behind. "You may Kari, come on in...!"

Inside the bathroom, the female looked around, slowly taking off her pajamas. "Mind if I hop in there with you~?" "Knock yourself out!" 

The young female giggled, hopping in only to yelp as she jumped back out. "Agh! Seidou, the shower's freezing!" Seidou shrugged from behind the curtain. "Well yeah, is that a problem?" "You should have warned me!" "You wanted in." Karren huffed, quickly drying herself off before she got herself dressed again. "I thought it would be warm in there, you normally make it warm...!" Seidou blushed to himself warmly. "I...guess I do... But I figured I'd take more cold showers."
