((Saeran's POV))

I start gathering the extra blankets and pillows from the closet and setting them up as comfortably as I could on the floor. When I was done, it closely resembled a queen sized bed, except there was no mattress separating you from the floor, jut a thin blanket.

"So who's sleeping on the floor?" I ask softly, looking up at Mc who was reading one of my books on my bed, "I call not it!!" I say quickly before she can claim it. Her eyes shot up to meet mine,

"Nah-uhh!!" She said pouty and factfully, "Rika said I can sleep on the bed since I haven't slept in a real bed in a week!" She said as if she was defending her territory, as if she was a child who would go tattletale on me to mother or something.

"Well who's fault is that!? Oh, right, yours!" I said, crossing my arms and looking at her.

"As if you would let me sleep in your bed if I stayed with you" she mumbles angerly under her breath, looking back at the book, "I get the bed. End of argument." She said swiftly, making an awkward silence that felt like I couldn't break. I stayed quiet, but I'm formulating a strategy in my head to get my bed back from her.

I sit at my desk quietly, typing away on the keyboard and making sure the screen was turned away so Mc couldn't see what I was doing.
'S: Rika what the hell?!! Why are you locking me in here with this insane girl!'
I sent her a message over a messenger on my computer, almost seconds later I get a reply,
'R: Saeran, you would already know the answer to that question if you just talked to her. I'm not responding to any of your messages after this, good night.
And with that my rage was lit on fire again. I stand up and slam my laptop shut. I walk over to the bed, get on the bed, prop my back against the wall, and with almost all my force, I press my feet up against Mc and push her out of the bed and onto the floor with a loud thud.

"OWW!!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!?" She yelled from beyond the cliff which is the side of my bed.

"I'm sick and tired of you thinking that you're going to get everything you want!!" I said, sitting in the middle of the bed in a way that I wouldn't be able to be moved, "I know Rika's been treating you like a little princess, but that's not how this job works, sweety" I said in a sarcastic, hateful tone.

I start to hear quite, soft crys from the foot of my bed, and I leave the comfort of my station in the middle of the bed to peek over to check to see if Mc was alright. When I peeked over, I saw a small pool of blood forming from her head, she is holding the side of her head painfully as she was curled up in the fetal position.

"Oh my god." I mutter under my breath, I quickly get up and run to the bathroom to grab a damp towel, and run back to Mc, "here, hold this on your head for now!" I hand it to her and she slowly takes it and presses it to the dark red spot almost right next to her right temple. I sit her up slowly and pick her up, bringing her to the bathroom and sitting her on toilet seat so I have better lighting and so I'm closer to the materials needed to make her better.

I grab my computer and type quickly into the message to Rika that Mc was hurt, but then I see what she wrote before, and that she probably won't even check her messages from me either think this a ruse to get her to let us out. I sigh and head back to the bathroom and look through the cupboard above the sink for bandages, anti-infectints, and pain relievers.

I find all the stuff I need and carefully comb her hair away from the injury, I could see her wince whenever I brushed near it. I then sprayed the anti-infection spray on the wound, she pulled away from me violently when I did that, her eyes tight in pain as she also crys out.

"It's almost over" I say softly and calmly under my breath, one to make her feel better, but mostly to make me feel better. I don't like to see her hurt, especially when I know I'm the one to cause her all this pain. I put the pain reliever gel on the wound then wrap her head in a bandage carefully and snugly.

I look at my hands, Coverd in her blood. The I look at her face, half of it dripping from the wound. I cup her face in my hands carefully, feeling the burning in my eyes as tears make my vision go burry,

"I'm so sorry.." I cry out softly to her, making sure she looks at me as I say it. Her empty eyes looking back at me with nothing, not even the normal hate or fear she has for me. She reaches her hand up to my face and cups my cheek to with a soft smile of her face. I smile a bit back, it was mostly forced, I didn't want her to feel any more pain though.

"Let's clean you up" I say as I get a new towel wet and carefully wipe away the red from her face and hands as well as my own. She seemed very tired, she let me move all her limbs for her other then her head, which faced me wherever I went. I began to get worried that other damage may have happend. I sit in front of her and take her hands into my own,

"How do you feel?" I ask her in a sort of monotone voice, not wanting my emotions to sway her answer.

"My head hurts, that's it" she said back softly, focusing her eyes on me.

"Would it be ok if I asked questions to make sure your ok?" I ask, she nods slowly and I proceed to ask her questions that have obvious answers, like, what's your first name? What's your last name? How did we meet? When's your birthday? What day is it? And such. Quickly the questions end I I diagnose that nothing else is wrong with her other then just that she needs sleep.

I pick her up slowly and make my way to the bed where I lay her down softly and cover her in the blanket, her eyes close softly and almost immediately she falls asleep. I clean up the blood on the floor at the bace of my bed and afterwards turn off all the lights. I look at the floor, then the empty space next to Mc. I climb into the bed and lay down so my back is facing her, and in the darkness, my mind takes over and I my eyes close, leading me into a deep sleep.
