(On hold)When Demons Care (Paperhat)

Hint Of A Smile

*Blackhat's P.O.V*

When I woke again It was about nine in the morning and I knew I had to get up for the day. I had placed Flug on the other side of the bed as not to wake him too rudely though it had failed because Flug had woken too and when he realized the time he freaked out a little bit and went to stand up only to fall back on the bed clearly still a bit out of it. After his first attempt and letting the dizziness subside he had tried again though slower and managed to stay standing without falling again.

I could feel my darker side wanting to rise up and take on my more intimidating form to yell at Flug for being so unaware of his current state that Flug had nearly sent himself to the floor however my logical side stamped it down back where it resides as I knew his reaction was justified to get back to work even if orders weren't due as I had ingrained into his head in the past that orders needed to be done before the due date so they could be tested out for any defects and allow time for adjustments. He was the only scientist in this building so he was the only one with knowledge to fix the stuff he creates in a reasonable time frame though it also added a heightened amount of stress with how many he creates.

I admit I'm being soft with Flug right now compared to how I am normally and dementia has definitely noticed though she wisely kept her mouth shut about it for the time being. On top of that she actually seemed less skittish then normal as well likely because she was worried about her creator but at least she is actually doing what I asked instead of fawning over my rather tall counterpart that is still around though we kept in opposite locations as to not cause a rift of some sort if we were within arms reach which nearly happened a few months before Flug was abducted.

Getting away from that memory I helped guide Flug to the restroom so he could tend to his hygiene needs while I teleported in some of his clothes to him inside the bathroom though I kept nearby just in case he had another dizzy spell while getting ready for the day himself. I hoped he didn't get a dizzy spell despite the thought of me walking in when his bag was off and potentially getting a long going question of what he looked like under the bag answered I didn't want to ruin that bit of trust that we mutually had. As Flug took care of what he needed to I had gotten around for the day myself and got changed into a suit and tie without the cape though I kept the hat on. After about ten minutes I got a knock on the inside of the bathroom door signaling to me that Flug was ready and had let him out.

As expected he had his bag back on though now he had his airplane shirt on as well as jeans instead of his lab coat and his other washable lab clothes which I had sent to the washer to be cleaned later. When I looked to Flug who was now out of lab clothes he looked like a normal civilian instead of the mad scientist that I knew he was when at peak health though when I looked to him I could tell Flug felt uncomfortable and more then likely out of place as he had said "I haven't been in my civilian clothes in months. it feels a bit weird though I do thank you blackhat for letting me use your bathroom and getting me a change of clothes. Also thank you for helping me during whatever sickness this is despite how much of a pain I have been especially since the abduction. It means a lot."

It had thrown me off that Flug had actually said thank you to me of all people though I found myself feeling that small amount of warmth rise in my chest once again and couldn't help giving a small smile before saying something I haven't in years and that was "your welcome Flug".
