We'll Grow Within Each other (Discontinued)

Macaroni

I write his as an apology for not having ANYTHING done, despite the long wait. I'm deeply sorry, I hope that you will take this as an apology. It's not very long, but I hope you enjoy it anyways. This isn't really part of the story I have now, just like a random one shot because I was so stressed. Leave me any comment on what you would love to see in the story of you can!

Three lights brightened up Asui’s room, she boiled water and prepared it all. Mina was asleep on her bed, her makeup still on and a toy in hand. Asui was big now, they had played all day last night without a care in the world. Asui poured the boiling water into the teapot, setting the dry pasta on the counter. She collected some string and a few other beads. Asui krept around the room with one of her three lanterns. Asui colleceted some paper, sweets, and paint, all setting them down on the unprotected table. 

    Asui poured three cups of tea, one for Mina, one for herself, and another for her dearest Mr. Pink-Eyed Snuggles Jefferson with Milky Bannanas II(her stuffed dragons name). Quickly she began to paint the plain Macoroni, she giggled softly as Mina’s soft snores hit her ears. She colored one green, another pink, one yellow, and one a light blue. With a soft brush, she colored her fingertips as well; giving up after a while then rolling each individual piece in the paint. She made ten of each color, setting them out in the sun to dry. Asui was starting to slip a little, the paint and the teas and the sweets she had set out all looked so delicious, but she couldn’t eat them. The paint all over her hands wouldn’t allow it, Mina forbid the practice of tasting of paint.

Tsuyu huffed in agony, she hadn’t eaten anything since the moment she got up! Then, out of habit from watching others, she bit the tip of her finger. Quickly tasting the chemicals, she pulled it out of her mouth, making a distasteful face.  She spit and wiped her tongue on her own clothing, it was getting a little hot. Asui wiped her forehead, getting paint all over her forehead, she went to go check on her macaroni. Looking at it, Asui didn’t feel quite satisfied. They were plain, nothing special, just macaroni and paint. 

Asui brought her finger close to her face, being careful not to touch her mouth, she thought, “What..can I do to make these bed’r? Kero..”. Asui stood there, rocking herself back and forth on her heels as she thought, quickly gasping and running toward her cabinet. Asui’s feet slapped agains her floor not so quietly, causing Mina to roll over, quickly sending chills up Asui’s spine she froze. 

Tsu waited a few second to make sure Ashido wasn’t moving anymore, Asui took a deep breath out and put a hand over her heart. Asui stood on her tippy toes in order to get her desired item from out of the cabinet. Without another thought other than getting what she wanted, she jumped and tipped every vile over. Crash after crash the viles shattered, making a mess on the ground. Tsuyu looked at the mess she had made, then looked at Mina who’s eyes were beginning to open. Asui’s heart began to pound rapidly, she began to think of ways to get her back to sleep. 

Tsuyu quickly ran over to Mina, walking over the glass that prickled her feet. She sat right beside her ont he floor, singing a soft lullaby Mina had tought her. “Rock-a-by-baby, on the tree tops..um..when the win’ bow’s the..something will rock..?” She saw Mina smile under the sheet. 

“Mornin’--”

“Kero! No! No, do not get up! Mima goes back to sleep! No!” Asuis heart begins to pound so hard and so fast she begins to hear it, with tears prickling her eyes she pushes Mina back down on the bed. 

“Oh–Okay, why can’t I get up Tsu-Tsu?”

“Because!”

“Please don’t yell Tsu, it’s–what”, Mina checks her phone, “Eleven in the morning, I think I should be able to get up now.”

“Noooo! Please don’..um..shhhh..Rock-a-bye-baby..”

Mina chuckled, “But I’m not tired anymore, sweets. Can I at least use the bathroom–”

Tsuyu yelled with urgency “NO! Go back to sleep!!”

“What did I say about yelling, Asui? I’ll stay on the bed not looking for fifteen minutes, after than I’m getting ready for the day, alright?”

Asui looked down at her feet that began to bleed a little,”Kero..” and she ran off while Mina busied herself with her phone. 

Quickly, Asui made it back to the puddle of glass and glitter all over the floor. All of her separated clolors were mixed now! Tsuyu stomped her foot, forgetting about the glass she was now on again, she whispered a little ‘ow’, then began to look for a broom and dustpan. Quickly, she made it all the way to the other side of of her room, collecting these items and sweeping, making sure Mina wasn’t looking at a thing. Her feet hurt, every movement sent prickles of pain up her spine and into her head. Quickly, everything–well a decent job of cleaning micro glitter– was clean, she cleaned her forehead with a wet tissue. Mina announced that she only had five more minutes left, Quickly, Asui gasped and threw one some glue to the macaroni and then dumped all the glitter mixed with glass onto the painted pieces. 

Asui got the paint brush from the table and began to dust off the glitter into the trash can, she put it down, took Mina’s now cooled down tea from the table, took a delicate plate, put two cookies on there, and brought it all over to Mina with as much elegance as she could muster. Her walking was a little wobbly, her glittery bleeding feet were causing much discomfort. 

“Okay Tsu, Time’s up! I’m getting–”

“Mima! Here–I made, um, this!”

Mina looked at what her little was holding, she smiled and gladly took it from her and set it on her lap, “Why thank you, Tsu-Tsu, oh my you're just the sweetest!” And she brought her into a hug. 

Mina pulled away and looked at Asui, who was desperately keeping a smile, “Aw, hey, what’s wrong? I can see that you’re not happy, what happened?”

“How you know?” Asui stuttered out

“Your watery eyes gave it away, Now, what’s up?”

“Mm..I’s okay, it’s okay, I–no..” Asui shook her head as her hands trembled. “Mima..I clean up, I clean up an’ make you food..are you happy?”

Mina tried to keep a soft smile, seeing Asui fiddle, “I’m happy you made me food..But you’re not happy, what’s the matter? It’s okay.”

“Try my food, It’s really yummy. It’s late, right, you said so. Eat, I will..um..I will..” Asui trailed off, Mina sighed softley and ate the food. She looked around the room, looking at anything that could be upsetting Asui but she found nothing. Asui looked at Mina expectantly, Mina told her about how delicious her food was, Asui walked a little closer to Mina, her feet shaking. 

This didn’t go unnoticed, Asui was normally well balanced, Mina looked down to see if she had tripped on something, she saw Asui bleeding, “Tsu! Oh my, what happened, here; sit down.” Mina quickly stood up and had Asui sit down.

“Let me bandage and clean you up, were you hurt this whole time?”

At this, Asui freaked out at, “No! No! I do it! I can do it, sleep and eat, Mima..I can do it..I know how to do this–”

“Asui..You’re bleeding and there’s glass stabbed into your flesh, I think you need more aiding than me..”

“But..I suppose’ to do it..I need to take care of you and you no eat ye-”

“I did eat, Tsu. And, no, you don’t need to worry about stuff like this as long as I’m here and–ready for this–taking care of you. Alright?”

Asui began to tear up, she fiddled with her fingers and curled up on herself. This feeling in her chest only swelled as Mina came back with the first aid kit. Asui didn’t so much as flinch, she didn’t respond to Mina, she just looked at her feet, and when Mina was done she gave Asui a big hug.

Asui, not above a whisper, said “I’m sorry..I shou’d ‘ave done it..”

Mina’s heart broke a little at this, “No, I was supposed to do this. I’m here and I’m taking care of you. Yes, I think it’s nice that you love to take care of others, but you need to realize that you have needs too. These needs that you have have to be taken care of First. That’s why I’m here, my sweet.”
