Waking in the morning in a new place was rather different. I stretch my arms. 'Got to go back to cleaning up and organizing things in the house.' After brushing my teeth, I walk into the kitchen. Part of me half expected Mom to be there, smiling and cooking food. 'Mom...'
"Oi, kid. Stop zoning out." I felt a cold feeling trickle down my arm as Hitoshi brushed against it.
"O-Oh, sorry about that." I hurried over to the stove to cook up eggs and make some pancakes. Opening the microwave, I noticed that pressing the button did nothing to start it. 'Huh? I'm sure it was working yesterday.'
"My apologies." I looked over to see Shoto staring at me awkwardly, his ghostly swirl wiggling back and forth.
"A-Apologies? For what?" I stared at the microwave. "What happened last night?"
"I may have broken the microwave yesterday night." Shoto seemed to be looking everywhere but my face.
"Don't worry about it, kid." I see Hitoshi pat him on the shoulder. "It's okay." He stared at me, as if he was waiting for me to judge.
"I-It's okay, don't worry about it. I-I'll just buy another one."
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Hikari wobble through the wall. She looked pretty bad, her shirt glowing a bit dimly, and her blue eyes looked a bit dejected. She leaned on Hitoshi a bit, and Shoto glanced at the two with confusion. 'What happened here?'
"Guys, what happened last night?" I asked them. Hikari looks at me and then looks at Hitoshi.
"Well, if you want to say it, go ahead." Hitoshi stared back at Hikari. "Do you need to be here right now?"
Shoto paused a bit and Hikari glanced at him. Hikari shook her head and Hitoshi floated through the wall. Hikari's energy was buzzing and her shirt faded a bit and then brightened. Her eyes started tearing up. "H-He just hasn't had a hug before!!"
I wave my hands. " U-Um.... I..."
"Why is it bad?" I hear Shoto say. He looked confused. "You didn't explain to me why that was sad. Why are you crying?"
"B-Because that means that no one ever wanted to hold you in t-their arms and w-want to protect you."
Shoto looked even more perplexed. "Why would someone want to do that?"
'What?' I looked up at him. "Are you going to tell that no one has told you that they want to protect you and embrace you in your arms? Has anyone told you that before?"
"I don't understand why this is important." I heard Shoto say to both of us. "Why would anyone want to protect and embrace someone like me?"
"Because they love and care about you." Hikari protested through her tears.
"Why would anyone love a monster like me?" Shoto touched his scar on his face. "Someone as hideous as me?"
I felt his energy around grow dark. "You're not ugly!! You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life!!" Suddenly, I paused. 'What?!! What did I just say?'
