Makoto's parents went to court to discuss allowing me to live with them. Somehow he convinced them to let me stay. We were at home right now babysitting Ren and Ran. I've never babysat before, so I just watched T.V. with them as he did all the work. I felt kinda bad; I didn't like feeling useless. I also wanted the kids to like me, but I didn't know how to talk to them. Makoto was making lunch right now... I supposed I could at least help him with that, so I went into the kitchen.
"Hey (name)!" He said excitedly. "Lunch is almost ready; sorry I'm taking so long."
"It's fine," I hesitated. "Is there maybe anything I could help you with?"
"Hm? Oh, it's fine I'm almost finished here. You can just go back to watching T.V. with the kids. Thank you though." He smiled. I sighed to myself. Had I always been this useless? "Is something wrong?" He suddenly asked. I looked up and he seemed to be very anxious. "Did I do something? I'm so sorry!" He frantically apologized. I laughed and shook my head.
"No you didn't do anything. It's just that... I've been such a burden on you guys, and I can't even help with the babysitting; Ren and Ran don't seem to like me either. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry," I felt my eyes and throat start to burn. I was such a mistake to the planet; how could these people treat me so kindly?
"You're not a burden," He replied gently. His gaze was soft and he was smiling sadly at me. "How could you think that about yourself? You're very kind (name) and not only that, but you've given me a special purpose in life."
"What's that?" I asked.
"Being with you," He answered. being with me? What did that mean? I realized I was staring at him out of confusion and he blushed. "You just... make me feel so needed and important. Before I met you, my life was so plain and I felt as if it wouldn't really mattered if a disappeared. I mean yeah my friends and family of course would've missed me, but they would've been able to manage without me. I know that sounds selfish, but that's how I felt. But now that you're here... I don't know I just feel happier and more... loved. It's hard to explain," He told me shyly. His face was a bright red and he was looking down at the ground. I never seen anyone so flustered before; I didn't know I could make someone feel that way. In a way, he made me feel important and needed as well, like I needed to live for someone. I gave him a big smile and went over to hug him. I could feel myself turning red as well as I wrapped my arms around his muscled torso.
"Thank you," I whispered into his chest. I felt his stomach move as he chuckled.
"I'm only telling the truth. No need to thank me," I looked up at him with my arms still around him. We stared into each others eyes for what seemed like hours when really, it was only seconds. His eyes had a look in them. A look that was happy, content, and something else. They were even more gentle than I've seen them; I didn't think that could be possible. I felt his arms tighten around me in a needing, secure way. He opened his mouth to say something when...
"Mako! I'm hungry!" I looked over to see Ren standing by the opening of the kitchen. He looked at us with curious eyes then erupted in a fit of giggles. "Raannnn! Mako's got a girlfriend! Mako's got a girlfriend!" He teased running back into the living room.
"What?" Ran asked. I heard her get off the couch and run into the kitchen. I pulled away from Makoto's grasp feeling very flustered. "Mako! you can't have a girlfriend you're too busy playing with me!" She pouted, with Ren was standing behind her. I looked up at Makoto, and his face was a bright red. Then he smiled and started to laugh.
"Alright you two that's enough. You're making (name) uncomfortable. Here you guys go," he handed them their plates of food.
"Thank you!" They both cheered and went back to watch Spongebob.
