CHAPTER 15: UNEXPECTED VISITORS
Usagi’s POV
The rain finally stopped after a few hours. Remembering the food that was still in the microwave I removed Misaki’s headphones, he tilted his head a little to look at me with questioning eyes.
“Misaki it’s going to be fine now. Look…” I pointed at the window “…the rain stopped. How about we go downstairs and have something to eat” after looking out the window I heard him exhale in relief.
Misaki sat up slowly and said while still looking out the window, “I’m not hungry” I got out of bed and stood next to it.
“Just humor me then” he turned to look at me with a frown on his face. I smiled at him as I ruffled his hair. I helped him get out of bed and wiped his cheeks of the tear trails that were still there. Cupping his face I placed a kiss on his brow “you are going to get through this ok, Misaki…?”
“Yeah…” was all he said, his eyes on the ground.
“And I will be right there, ok…”I pulled him into a hug and kissed him on the brow again before I let go and we went downstairs. I headed into the kitchen, Misaki went to where the shattered mug was and from the corner of my eyes I saw him start to pick up the pieces.
“Be careful, don’t cut yourself on that. You know, just leave it I’ll clean it up later”
“Don’t worry about it I’m almost done” the microwave beeped right after that, I put the food in a plate and took it to the table. Misaki was already done clearing the fragments off of the floor. He dumped them in the bin and came back to sit at the table after I had insisted that I will be the one to wipe the tea off the ground.
After I was done I made myself another cup of tea and sat down opposite him. Sighing when I noticed that the food in front of him wasn’t even touched “Misaki if you don’t eat you will get sick. It won’t do you any good to starve yourself…”
“I’m not…I’m just not hungry…”
“How about you take a bite to test that theory because I’m sure that you are starving…”
“I’m not…”
“Misaki stop being stubborn and eat!”
“I’m not being stubborn… I’m just not hungry…”
“Uhh…how about we make a deal? Just a couple of bites and I will stop bugging you about it. How is that?”
“But…” I gave him a look that said that I won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. To my relief he said “alright…”
Misaki’s POV
I hope it stays down this time. After the look that Usagi-san gave me I knew that if I refused he would just shove the food down my throat. The food looked good but it just…
I grabbed the chopsticks and picked up some noodles with it. It didn’t taste bad but my stomach felt heavy after the second bite. I took the mug and took a couple of sips from it.
Usagi-san sighed after I had placed the chopsticks back on the table next to the plate. “That’s it?”
“Usagi-san you said just a couple of bites…I don’t-…”
“But your plate is still full. Can’t you at least eat one more bite? Your face is pale… I’m really worried about your health.”
He looked really worried so I grabbed the chopsticks again and took one more bite hoping that it won’t be too much. He had a satisfied, more like relived look on his face. It was comforting but after a second of sitting there I just couldn’t hold it down anymore.
