Elfen Lied (LucyxMaleReader) Lillium's Descent

Chapter 4 ( This situation explains itself)

Reader's P.O.V.

I put the fires on the stove to low to make sure I'd have time to tend to Lucy without worrying about the food burning. Then,  I started getting a few things together for her bath. I grabbed two towels for washing and drying herself, looked in my drawers for something descent for her to wear which included a T-shirt from an old band I no longer listened to and stretchy adjustable shorts, after that I gathered a few bath products for her. They are meant for guys and although she'll smell masculine, I'll get her something more feminine if she ends up staying long. As for a serious note, I couldn't help her with the underwear part, the idea of her wearing mine seemed a bit inappropriate. I guess I could buy her some undies tomorrow as well as some clothes. She'll be ok until then.

When I was sure she had everything she needed, I ran her a bath and went back to get her attention but she was not by the fish tank anymore. I went looking for her but my search didn't last long when I found her in one of my hall closets. She had found the box that contained many memories of my childhood. She was currently holding a picture of me when I was involved in home economics and another when I ranked up to the first flute chair in band. Although I was embarrassed she had found that box, I let her observe them before telling her about them.

(Y/n): I see you found my high school photos. That one was when I was in home economics.

Lucy seemed focused on the kids in the background of the picture who seemed to be laughing at me.

(Y/n): My classmates where immature back then. I was the only boy in home economics which was perceived as something girls took part in which also explains the picture with me in the flute. Although the flute one is sort of true, you don't see many male flutist but it is what is. Let's just say my parents where expecting a girl but when they saw that I wasn't they didn't let that stop them from their plans so now I'm a man that can take care of myself which is more than most guys can do.

I say with a sense of pride. Lucy stopped thinking about the photos of me, long enough to look up in my direction where she noticed my hands were full of bathing items.

(Y/n): Oh yeah right, I got a little sidetracked. You can take a bath now. I got you a few things. The clothes may be little big and you may not like the scent of the soap......

Lucy slowly rose to her feet as she took the items from me.

(Y/n): The bathroom is this way.

I say as I lead her to the bathroom. She follows after me. I go up to the door and open it, gesturing for her to step in.

(Y/n): Take your time. If you need anything just yell. When your done, give me your clothes and I'll wash them for you.

With that said, I close the door. Meanwhile, I cleaned my blood splattered floor with extreme forceful scrubs. I didn't even notice I had been scrubbing for a while but had finally got the blood from the floors. I then went into the kitchen and turned off the stove. Everything was heated and ready to eat. I thought tea would be great so I put on the kettle and boiled some water. I didn't hear the door to the bathroom opening. I assumed Lucy was done with her bath and looked up in her direction. I was so surprised at what I saw that I nearly backed up into the stove and burned myself. Lucy was completely naked, I managed to sheath my eyes before I caught a glimpse of too much skin. I slowly made my way towards her, red faced and on the verge of freaking out. Ironically, the kettle began to whistle.

Lucy didn't seem to really understand why I was acting the way that I was which gave me the impression that she had no problem being naked in front of someone or she had no problem with anyone seeing her naked body. It wasn't her fault thought, I just tried to keep my composure as I shuffled around the bathroom for her dry off towel and wrapped it around her.

(Y/n): I'm not trying to make you feel bad but nakedness is something that should be discreet.

I couldn't even look her in the eyes. With all the heat in my face, I couldn't face her for fear of passing out. No doubt I thought Lucy was an attractive woman but I wasn't the type to be a pervert or take advantage of her unknowing actions.

With that little event out of the way, I still needed to tend to Lucy. It seemed there was a lot of things she didn't know. She wasn't slow but she still needed guidance so I ended up dressing her with a blindfold on. After that I collected her bloodied clothing out of the bathroom and threw them in the wash. Then I led Lucy to a mirror in my room where I combed her hair. Before  I even started , I hadn't even noticed something important. Remember when I mentioned how that head accessory she wore looked like horns? Well, let's just say that I was right. I knew they were horns which meant she had this appendage growing out of her head. This was evident when I saw her left horn seemed broken off by extreme force and had been bleeding previously.

I didn't even consider what Lucy would think about me wondering about the horns before my hands grabbed onto them. Lucy flinched, seemingly startled at my actions. I only held them for a moment before I realized how rude I was being and began to brush her hair gently, cautious of her horns. I didn't say anything since everything seemed to be explaining itself. The silence was worrying Lucy who looked at me dangerously but I merely smiled at her before saying:

(Y/n): You must be hungry. Come on let's eat.

When we reached the kitchen and sat at the table, I served us in silence. I sat down when I was done and scooped the delicious food into my mouth. Lucy stared at her plate as if she was still wondering about what happened moments earlier. I urged her with my eyes to eat and that everything was fine. She stared at her plate for a second before picking up her spoon and bringing it up to her lips.
