(OLD) The Spider and The Dragon (Tohru x Spider-Man)

The New Dragon

I laid lifelessly on the couch. Every time I tried to move my head, a feeling of immense pain struck me. I groaned. Tohru examined my wounds and went to go get something clean them with. She came back with some aloe vera gel and a washcloth. She poured the aloe vera into the washcloth and then proceeded to softly rub my burn. The gel touching my charred skin stung. I cringed for a bit. She then put the washcloth down and looked me in the eyes. "You need to come in our room now so I can get that suit off you." She told me. I nodded silently. "Can you walk?" She asked. I tried to get up. Even then with the pain in my leg from the bullet wound, I found it a bit easier to get up than before. I slowly hoisted myself up. As I stood, I could see the worried ness in Tohru's eyes. She really cared for me. She really wanted me to be okay. I guess I never understood until now how much Tohru really cares for me. I hobbled over to our room and stood at the foot of the bed. "You can sit down silly." Tohru giggled. She was adorable. I plopped down on the bed. After a few minutes of struggling, Tohru finally pulled the charred suit down past my knees and off of me. I was just in my underwear. Tohru blushed a little. She eyed my chest. "You're so strong, Yuuto." She said. I held back the urge to make a comment about the spider bite giving me super strength. I got up from the bed and grabbed a pair of sweatpants from my drawer. As I slipped them on Tohru couldn't help but blush. I looked the opposite direction, hopefully to stop her from looking at me. As I walked through the door and out into the kitchen, I heard a knock at the front door. I opened it, not realizing I still didn't have a shirt on. A woman was standing before me. She had black hair with purple tips at the ends, and she had a single horn coming from her forehead. "Peculiar, She must be a dragon." I thought to myself. She looked at me and blushed. Geez, what is it with these dragon girls and blushing? "Hey, who are you?" She asked. I noticed Tohru peeking above my shoulder to see who was there. "I'm Yuuto." I said. "And you?" "I'm Elma." She said. "Do you happen to know a girl named Tohru?" I pondered the question. Should I tell her the truth or should I keep it a secret? For all I know this could be a hostile dragon hunting Tohru down. I decided to go with my gut and tell her the truth. "Yeah. I know her." I told her.   "She's right here behind me." I moved a slight bit to reveal Tohru, looking confused at the woman. "Elma?" She said, sounding as the two knew each other. "Hey. It's me." The lady at the door said nervously. She looked down at the floor. "Where's Miss Kobayashi?" She asked. "She's... gone. She's dead." I said. Elma let out a small gasp. "Well who does Tohru live with then?" She asked. "Me." I said. Elma looked at me kinda funny. "Wait.. it can't be you." She said. "I must be crazy, but about 60 years ago Miss Kobayashi had a friend who lived with her named Yuuto. He looked just like you too. Crazy coincidence." I smiled a bit at what she just said. "I am him." I told her. "Impossible." She said. "I was frozen in ice for 60 years." I said. She gasped. "He.. he did go missing about that many years ago." She had begun to realize it was me. "So. Do you live here now?" She asked me. "Yeah, I do." I replied. "Well I have to ask you something." She said. "Can I stay here with you?" I was taken aback by this. Another dragon? "Sure." I told her. "Anything for a dragon." I opened the door as wide as it could go and moved aside to let Elma in. She thanked me for holding the door. I swiftly closed it. Tohru looked dejectedly at Elma. "Oh yeah, I forgot. You guy's rivalry." I said. "Well, I'm sure we'll all get along fine." After grabbing a drink from the fridge, I walked over to the couch. Tohru plopped down next to me and leaned her head on my shoulder. Her hands felt soft touching my chest. I could tell Tohru was trying to make Elma know that I was hers. Or something like that. Elma stood nervously next to the couch. "You can sit down if you want." I said. She came and sat down. I extended my arm along the top length of the couch. I didn't notice Elma was slightly resting her head on my arm. "Hey, uhh, let me know if I'm getting a little too, you know, touchy. I don't wanna make you uncomfortable. It's your personal space." I said. "No, it's fine." Elma said softly. I looked around. "Let's see what's on tv." I said. I couldn't think of anything else to do besides cuddling with Tohru, but I wouldn't want to leave Elma out of anything. The first channel that came on caught my eye. It was the news. The newscaster stared that there was a building fire a couple blocks down the street. My eyes widened. Tohru looked at me. "Yuuto. I know what you are thinking, but don't. Your not strong enough yet." She said. "No." I said back. "I'm going right now." "No you are not Yuuto and that's final." She said. "You must let your wounds heal." I looked her in the eyes. "Would you let all these innocent people die just because you didn't feel good?" I asked her. She was taken aback by this. "Well when you put it that way.." She said. I quickly dashed to our room and grabbed a red ski mask, red pants, sneakers and a shirt with a large spider insignia on it. I put everything on and stormed out of the room. Elma gasped. "So it really is the real Yuuto." She said. I kissed Tohru on the forehead. "Bye." I waved my fingers in a peace sign. I slid open the glass doors to get to the balcony and I took one last glance back. Elma and Tohru stared at me intently. My shirt blew in the wind. I quickly turned around and jumped off before webbing a nearby building and then the next. I observed the city's skyline in the distance. I was Spider-Man once again.
