Look through my Eyes

Chapter 9 - Parental neglect

---Will's POV---

A movement in my bed slightly roused me from my sleep, making me groan before I rolled on my other side. For a moment, everything was quiet again before a loud thud echoed through my room, followed by a pained, muffled curse.

"Son of a-ugh! Stupid, wooden.... thing!"

I shot up out of bed, blinking the sleep away to find my mate, sitting down while rubbing her toes, a scowl on her face. "Kim? What-" Kim yelped loudly before she turned towards me. "What the hell are you doing in my room?"

Frowning slightly, I couldn't help but smile at the pout on her lips while she kept rubbing her foot. "Technically, you're in my house, so this is my room." When Kim's mouth dropped open, followed by a pink flush on her face, I chuckled slightly, making her flush brighter.

"Do you remember now?" I teased, waiting for her response. Kim just brushed the curls out of her face and mumbled a quiet "Shut up." I calmed down and hopped out of bed to sit next to my mate. "Why are you out of bed? You should rest some more."

At this, Kim flushed even more while she uneasily moved around, twirling a finger in her hair. It took a lot of my willpower to not follow her example and dig my hands in her hair...or bury my nose in it. "I-uh...I need t-to..." Kim stuttered in discomfort, making me realize it on my own.

I stood back up and helped her up while saying "Bathroom?" Kim lowered her head and muttered "Yeah." I chuckled lowly, "There's no need to feel embarrassed." I turned around and pulled her in front of me, "I'll show you."

Kim hesitated slightly, her heart beating more rapidly when she felt my hands resting on her hips. Hey, I was trying to get her to trust me; I would grasp any change I could get. I slowly applied some pressure, making Kim step forward. I leaned down towards her shoulder and said "Relax, I'm not letting you walk into anything. I don't want to see you hurt."

I heard her sigh while she took a deep breath before she leaned back against my stomach and followed my lead. My lips split in a huge grin while my wolf purred at the contact. Slowly stepping forwards, I leaned forwards and brushed my hands over her arms, enjoying the feeling of her skin while Kim's breathing rapidly accelerated.

When I arrived at her hands, I gently placed my hands under them and pushed them to the sides until her fingertips felt the edges of the door. "This is the doorway to the bathroom. It's a glass door that you need to pull, okay?"

Kim nodded, slowly brushing over the door before she found the handle and pulled. I stepped back, softly tugging at the back of her shirt and she followed my lead by taking a step back, avoiding the door that swung in front of her.

I smiled at her and softly breathed her scent in. "Okay, moving forwards again." Kim's lips curled into a smile, making me mentally shout out while I desperately wanted to kiss those plump lips. Ignoring those feelings, I led her in the bathroom towards the sink and said. "The sink is right in front of you, the toilet two steps to the right, turn right and then three steps straight forward. You'll be okay?"

Kim cleared her throat and nodded. "Yeah, thanks." She smiled brightly before she waited a moment. "Can I have my privacy? Or..." I quickly moved out of the bathroom, followed by Kim's laughter.

I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck while I stood just outside the bathroom before I snapped out of my dazed state and picked my bag up, preparing it for school. Luckily, it was only for a few hours today, and I knew that it was the same for Kim.

A sound behind me made me aware that Kim was back in the room and I smiled slightly when I noticed that she was walking around my room, taking slow, accurate steps. "May I ask what you're doing?" I said, crossing my arms while I kept an eye on her.
