Sweet Sensation

+Chapter3+

For rest of the day in school, Ivy wasn't around. Riku kept me company because he said he didn't want me to feel lonely since Ivy always comes to me when lunch or passing period is starting. I hope Michelangelo didn't rape her.

After school, I go home to finally ease my mind. Today is my only day off of the week and I plan to use it to clear my head. I see Angeal in the kitchen, sleeping. He is sitting in a chair at the table and is head is buried in his folded arms that are on the table. He looks like he came out of the shower too.

“Angeal,” I call his name out and his head tilts over so one of his eyes can see me.

“Oh, you’re home early. You didn’t have to work today I assume.” He sits up and stretches.

Wait a minute, are you telling me that he isn’t going anywhere today? As in that he is going to stay here the entire time? Oh my gosh, I have to use this opportunity now!

We use to hang out a lot, but ever since I entered high school and he started working, he became distant with me. I barely hang out with him now and even if he’s my only family besides mom, it feels like I am living with a stranger.

“Hey do you think we can do something together today? Like watch a movie or go out to get something to eat?”

He stares at me in shock as if I am asking him on a date.

I quickly say, “I mean if you are tired, you can forget what I said and go to bed. I just thought since we aren’t busy we can finally spend time with each other like before.”

“I don’t mind,” he answers. “I don’t feel like going out though, so we can watch a movie together.” He looks away from me and place his forehead in the palm of his hand. “Let me get something for my head first, okay?”

“Yes! I mean, okay! Um, what movie would you like to see?”

He stands up and walks pass me and respond, “Something scary.”

I popped in Saw II because it is his favorite one and I know he hasn’t watched it in a long time. I sit on the couch with hot, fresh popcorn in a glass bowl on the coffee table.

Hmm, he’s taking a long time. I hope he’s alright.

I see Angeal coming and he looks alright now. He sits beside me on the couch and lies his head in my lap.

I blush and say aloud, “Angeal!?”

“Don’t be so loud, my head hurts.”

“But how will I reach the remote? We won’t be able to watch the movie.”
