Today is Monday, a dreaded day by all of mankind, but, to me, it is a day that I am excited to live. You see, today Aaron and I are going to try and sneak out of see Leila, Aaron's mother. I think I might be able to help her control her own self inflicted lethal touch, since I am able to control my lethal touch.

"Love, are you ready?" I hear Aaron's voice from behind me, where I am looking myself over in the en-suite bathroom mirror. I look in the mirror reflection, seeing him standing behind me.

I smile at his beeping and hopeful face. "Yeah, I am ready, are you?" I shoot the question back at him. This is about his mother, he might be feeling a little nervous.

"I am, yes." He wraps his arms around me and holds me close, I can tell that, right now, he needs this. He needs support and I feel so lucky to be that support for someone as amazing as Aaron Warner Anderson.

Aaron and I haven't actually spoken about what we are, exactly. We haven't said anything about being 'together' but I have just been taking it as we are, which, I know, I shouldn't.

"Erm Aaron," I begin, "w-what are we?" I am only minutely aware of how bad of a time this is.

He kisses my neck, nothing inappropriate, just a soft, gentle kiss. "Whatever you want us to be, sweetheart." I can feel the smile on his face pressing against my neck. "I would want you as my wife, if you ask me."

I can't help but blush, causing Aaron to chuckle. "You are so beautiful, love." He kisses my neck again - well, it's more like a small peck. "I love it when you blush, especially when I'm the one who caused it."

I pulls his arms away from me, turning my body so that I am face to face with him. "Seriously Aaron, what are we? If we're going to go and see your mother and, hopefully, help her control her power, we both know that your mother is going to ask the question 'are you two finally together'." I quote, like the exact words that she used to say to Aaron and i when we were younger.

"That's a fair point." He blinks, "I love you so much my love, please, if you'll let me, have the honour of being your boyfriend, and, hopefully, one day, no matter how near or far, your husband."

I blush, this time much more deeply. "Aaron I would love to be your girlfriend and, one day, your wife." I stand on my tippy toes and peck his lips.

After that, we go on about our morning as usual. Him working and me stuck in his bedroom. To be fair his room isn't the worst place to be stuck - he has lots of books that are amazing to read because they're the same ones that him and I used to read before I was taken to the asylum. Books like;

Romeo and Juliet
McBeth
The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes
The Great Gatsby
Jane Eyre
How To Kill A Mockingbird
Frankenstein's Monster
Dracula
Moby-Dick
A Christmas Carol
Oliver Twist

So, all day, I read.
Reading books that I have read before, reading books that I haven't seen before in my life. It's amazing. Well, anything is amazing when it's compared to being in that small, claustrophobic cell that I was caged in.

I can't wait for once Aaron finishes up all his work, because then we get to go and see Leila, his mother, and hopefully I can help her control her powers.

"Are you ready to go love?" Asks Aaron, who flushed me a reassuring smile.

Kenji has the power of invisibility, so we are going to use that and sneak out the building. "Yeah, we just have to wait for Kenji." I say.

He comes over and kisses my forehead. "Yes, I wish I could just borrow his power but he can only project it of a certain distance."

"Aaron I-..." I look down at my hands in my lap. "What if I can't help your mother?" I feel my eyes tear up. I love Leila, she was always like a mother to me. She looked after me like she did Aaron. I love her, like a mom. If I can't help her, not only would it hurt that I can't help Leila and stop her pain - but it will completely break me if I can't bring Aaron's mother back to him.

That would shatter me.
