Katashi laid in his bad, thrashing around. He kept having nightmares. No, not nightmares, flashbacks. He was in a hospital room. People were injecting things into him. They were experimenting on him. When he woke, he jumped up, breathing heavily.He clutched his chest, looking down at his body. His breathing slowly became calm as he got to his feet. He looked around, making sure he was still in his room. He looked into the mirror that sat on his dresser. He stared into his own eyes. He buried his face in his hands and fell on his knees.
He wiped his sweaty face and went downstairs and into the kitchen. He looked in the cupboard for some chocolate, that was his comfort food. He grabbed a bag of dark chocolate chips and slowly munched on them. This was a normal day for him. Shortly after, he made a huge cup of coffee, trying to keep himself from falling asleep.
Once he walked outside and looked around. He saw Herisho through the window and tilted his head. Herisho seemed to have fell in the livingroom.
-Herisho p.o.v-
I was laying awake in my bed as sleeping has become a once a week thing for me. Istared up at the ceiling and had my hands on my stomach. I groaned not being able to sleep and sat up walking downstairs to the kitchen making hot tea, after adding honey I sipped on it gently. Once I finished I say it down and walked around the living room trying to tire myself out but tripped over the side of the coffee table groaning as I landed on my stomach onto the wooden floor. I sat up and looked out the window seeing Katashi.
I gasped and hurriedly slipped on my shoes running out the door to him and stood in front of him. "Hey!'
-author p.o.v-
Katashi didn't even bother to put shoes on. He looked over at Herisho and kept a serious face. He bowed in respect as they apparently do in Japan. He stood up straight and looked into his eyes. "I saw you trip earlier. Are you alright?"
"Oh..heh..you saw that? But I'm fine yeah" he blushed smally giggling.
He reached up to his face and gently poked his blushy spot. He gasped and jumped back a bit. He hadn't had human contact in a long time. At least, he hadn't been this close to one in a while. He forgot they got red like that. Herisho tilted his head to the side confused.
"Your face is really red. Do you have a fever? Do you need a doctor?" he asked.
"No..no in fine its blushing it's a normal human thing bud. "
"I-I AM HUMAN" he shouted, trying to look convincing.
"I...I.. didn't say you weren't!"
He kinda just stood there with a defeated look on his face.
Herisho sighed and asked " "You alright..?"
He gulped and nodded. All human interaction was awkward for him.
Herisho nodded slow and reaches a little up to clasp his shoulder.
His eyes got big when Herisho touched his shoulder. His lip quivered a bit.
He frowned seeing it hoping he wasn't going to cry as he was confused what was prevoking his friend.
He looked into his eyes. He seemed confused...scared...lost. He didn't really know what he felt. herisho gently rubbed his finger on his cheek "just take a breather alright..?"
"Breather?" he asked, his voice shaking slightly. He leaned his cheek to his hand. It felt right.
"Relaxer, just calm your body." He spoke softly
He took a deep, shaky breath. He was actually starting to calm down A tear actually left his eye. He gasped and quickly wiped it away.
Herisho frowned again noticing and spoke softly, "you're crying what's wrong?"
He pulled away from Herisho's hand. "Nothing...just forget it."
"Please...I want to help." Herisho pleaded a little not trying to push his friend.
"I'm not human. I was made in a lab. I'm not like you. I'm not supposed to cry. I'm not supposed to feel." He explained frowning.
"Oh.. well that's not working out right now."
"You think so?" he said with extreme sarcasm in his voice. He sighed and started walking back to his house. Herisho sighed and called after him,"wait I'm sorry!"
He looked back at him and stopped. He stood right in front of him and looked into his eyes. "My eyes were leaking...what was that?"
"Crying..sometimes it's happy and sometimes it's sad.." he explained gently to kitashi.
He furrowed his brow. He didn't know anything about any of this stuff. He groaned mentally and explained more in dept, "like if someone died it would be of sadness..but if someone had a baby it could be from happiness!" He giggled soft. He actually smiled for once, and it was beautiful.
Herisho gasped, "that was beautiful!" He whispers to himself but he seemed to have heard. " He blushed furiously and hid his mouth. He had some idea of what beautiful meant. "Thank...thank you,"
Herisho giggled again, He blushed even more. "What was that sound you just made? It was like a laugh but...cuter."
He snorted amused, " "A giggle." he giggle again showing him.
He gasped. "I love it! But I have another feeling he said, grinning.
"Well what is it?"
"Like I want to be near you. A lot. I want to be like this," he said as he smooshed his face to Herisho's.
He chuckled and pecked his lips "love?"
He gently pecked back. "Love."
