Excpectance - Part 1

Expectance - Part 1

After fully recovering myself, I exit the bath and head back to my shelf. I notice whatever clothes I had aren't where I left them. Instead, they're hanging up on some kind of rudimentary hangars. Someone must have come in and organized my things. Oh god. I hope they didn't hear me bawling like a child. That would be so embarrassing.

As I reach the clothes and place a hand on them, I remember something, far, far more embarrassing. I kissed Rei. Holy mother of god, jesus, and bacon! "Why the hell did I do that?!" I say while slamming my head into the wall. It hurts, but I deserve it. Why would I have done that? She's a she! And a stranger!

For once the pounding in my head isn't from Rei, but nonetheless, our conversation echoes in my mind- She told me that I am never alone and that I have at least one friend who will always support me. She told me that I am who I am, even when I'm the one doubting myself. It's confusing and disconcerting but it makes my insides warm. I feel a blush cross my cheeks and jump in surprise when I hear a voice just behind me say, "Why did you do what?"

My heart is palpitating and I turn breathless as I turn to see Kay looking at me. She may be as expressionless as usual, but her yellow-brown eyes are staring intently at me. It takes a moment for me to register what's going on as her brown hair shakes with the movement of her head.

That movement of her head being, up and down- as in, up and down, me. I look down to see what she's checking out when the answer hits me hard. I'm in nothing but a towel! It's wrapped around me, sure, but holy hell!

I shriek and yell at Kay, "Look away! Now!" I swear if she could show emotions that she would have been embarrassed, but instead, she simply shrugs and does as I say.

In a flurry of limbs and cloth I manage to dress myself; just in time too because Kay seems to grow bored and turns back around. "I didn't say you could look yet!" I shriek out in a shrill voice while covering my chest with my arms, despite being fully dressed now.

Perhaps this was a bad idea since it accentuates my breasts. Kay doesn't miss this and looks at me with a slight frown tugging at the corner of her lips. That's a remarkable amount of expression for her to show from what little time I've spent with her. But I'm pretty offended that she'd be purposefully checking me out and frowning. "I heard you crying and wanted to check on you" Kay says while moving closer to me.

I take a step back and slam the palm of my hand into my forehead and say, "Oh god, everyone heard that?"

She slightly shakes her head and tells me, "That's unlikely." As I begin to open my mouth and ask why, I notice her beaming eyes focused slightly to my left, where my clothes just hung. I see, she's the one who organized my stuff for me.

That's awfully unexpected. I figured it would have been Rose, or possibly even Mimi. A smile is now tugging at my lips, and I take a step forward towards Kay. She seems to not have expected that and her eyes widen. I reach out a hand, place it up on top of her head, and gently rub her hair.

"Thanks for helping me out Kay" I say and then let my hand drop.

Kay is seemingly transfixed on my hand. I feel self-conscious and put my hands behind me. But Kay being Kay seemingly grows bored of even this, and simply reaches out and grabs my arm. She takes my left arm and tugs me forward and wraps my arm around hers. "Hungry" she says and starts to walk us forward, arms linked.

I fall in a half-step behind her, and begin to properly sync myself to her as we make our way to what must be a kind of dining room. Kay takes longer strides than Rose and it's actually a bit harder for me to keep up with her with our arms tangled like this; she definitely doesn't exactly have the same amount of grace that Rose does, that's for sure.
