I don't own the media !

Pdv Y/n :

I thought it couldn't get any worse than it was before...

I had opened the door, without thinking that Scaremouche could still be behind, and had felt a mass crashing against me.

A mass which was none other than the wearer of electro vision, who had obviously leaned his head against the door without imagining that I was going to open it. He thus found himself, to my great misfortune, with his head against my chest, making me fall because of his weight, certainly not very important considering his size, but still enough to unbalance me.

The situation had become extremely embarrassing in a few seconds and, not knowing how to react, I slapped him as soon as he raised his upper body, red with embarrassment.

His head was turned, remaining in the position caused by the shock of my slap, and I got up in third gear to flee to my room.

I quickly grabbed my clothes and ran to the only room to which I had the keys and where I was sure I could escape, for fortunately for me my room was identical to his and therefore also had a window.

But what have I done, by the Archons? He's going to kill me, I had already provoked him this morning... There's no doubt about it, my life is over...
I couldn't even destroy that thing...

I stormed into my room and quickly locked the door, praying that he wouldn't kick it down, and dressed as quickly as I could after opening the window to be ready to flee in case he came to decapitate me.

Pdv Scaramouche :

[Back to breakfast time]

<<I was wondering why you said in your sleep that you were just a failed clone, not last night but when we were in the cave. she made, avoiding my gaze.

I froze, shocked by her question. I didn't answer, trying to calm myself down, without much success.

If I answer her... will she abandon me?
Will she find me useless too and leave me for someone else?

She looked up at me, probably waiting for an answer. I shuddered at the thought of seeing disappointment in her eyes if I answered her, and decided to avoid the question... with another question.

-Why are you asking me this question...? I asked, my voice slightly shaky.

-To make sure of something, nothing serious as far as I'm concerned, but it seems important for your well-being. she answered, poking a small piece of my pancake with her fork.

I didn't pay much attention to the theft of my piece of pancake, too busy trying to figure out why she was asking me this and, more importantly, what she might do after she got her answer.

If she realizes that I'm just a failure, she'll abandon me like Ei did...
Why pretend it's for my own good, the result will be the same in the end!

I was afraid, afraid of disappointing her too, but very soon this fear turned into uncontrolled anger, making me say things I didn't really mean.

-It's not up to you to decide what's good for me or not. I spat, immediately regretting my words.

-Yes, but to see that you deny your creator when she did it for your own good hurts my heart. she said with a sigh, clearly beginning to be annoyed by our discussion.

I jumped to my feet, being very affected by her answer without really knowing why. In anger, I deliberately let my sudden desire to kill her show, and for some reason it made her smile. She stood up, still smiling, openly provoking me, and took the knife.

-I see that you can't find anything to add, I conclude that you don't even know Ei's reasons. I'm leaving, this discussion is pointless and I have an ugly task to do. Ah, and I'm confiscating this knife! Although I doubt you'll go so far as to kill me, I'd rather not let you be the one to stick this blade in my throat! she exclaimed as she left for the bathroom, waving the knife back and forth, still smiling.

I didn't have time to answer her because she slammed the door to the bathroom, leaving me alone at the table.

Shit shit shit...!
I... Why did I say that... Why can't I tell her what I really want...
That I love her since that day and I'm afraid to lose her...
Aaah I've screwed up again...!

I walked slowly towards the bathroom door, then put my head against it, listening to the sound of the water running on the other side.

Yes, that was since the day I loved her.
The day we met, the day that had changed my view of life.
That day when she made me feel for the first time in a long time feelings that I had buried deep inside.
The day she saved me.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by the thud of something falling from behind the door.

Forgetting whatever anger I had left, I immediately became concerned for the h/c, fearing that she had hurt herself, slipped out of the tub/shower and fallen on the tiles.

-T/p...? Did you fall? I asked as I pressed myself closer to the door, trying to hear her answer as best I could to see if she was lying to me or not.

-No. And even so, it's not a little fall that would hurt me.

Her answer made me regret even more my outburst of a few minutes ago, reminding me in passing of her warning that her sympathy for me could be ephemeral.

-Ah... Sorry... I whispered, my voice trembling, a few tears beading at the corners of my eyes.

Then it all happened very quickly.

She had opened the door, for some reason I didn't know, and I had literally fallen on top of her, taking her down with me.

I was strangely painless, and I understood why as I looked a little more closely at what my head was resting on. I blushed instantly, raising my upper body in a hurry.
I was about to apologise when I felt a sharp pain in my left cheek.

She...slapped me?

She got up and ran off, leaving me alone again but this time in the bathroom. I grew redder and redder, no doubt matching the peonies.

Umm...um...
Ah yes, I... I should apologise...
For earlier and for what just happened...

Thinking about that sweet feeling of comfort, I started to blush again and, not really knowing what to do, I took the shower head and put some ice water on my face.

With my head now clear, I went to apologise to T/p for my behaviour and...

And nothing else, I wasn't the one who opened the door!
But I was the one who was leaning on the back...

I knocked on T/p's room and, when there was no answer, I went to my room and walked along the little ledge that connected our two windows, which were less than five feet apart.

Her window was open, and when I poked my head inside her room, I was incredulous at what I saw.

... What's going on here...?
