Finishing up making lunch, I set the table for him and set a bowl of steak stir fry in front of him. Has I set the bowl in front of him I ran my hand across his back and kissed his cheek. I had still managed to make a tiger ball and had strategically placed it in the bowl on top of the rest of the stir fry. He still looked tired and embarrassed so I figured a tiger ball would cheer him up. Turning around I made my way back to the counter, I rested my hand right where I had been sitting a few minutes ago, blushing I moved to the sink to start washing the dishes.

I knew that tora didn't like being watched when he ate, but I continued sneaking a few glances at him. He looked happy sitting there eating, however he had his arm on the table curved around his food, like he was scared that somebody was going to take it away from him. 'I don't think a single soul would look at him and try to take anything of his'.

I looked down at the bubbles rising in the sink, I know I had it easier growing up, but still who did that to him'. Whoever it was, I hope that we never cross paths.' I might be small, but I have been known to be a firecracker when it involves the people I care about'. We still never talked about his behavior the other night and thinking about it is making my heart sink. 'Why did you have to act like that" I think to myself, sighing I continue scrubbing the dishes. 'He did apologize later that night, but it still hurt'. I found myself zoning out, while I was scrubbing one of the bowls, and out of nowhere two very large arms wrapped the selves around my waist. I jumped, nearly throwing the bowl I was washing into the air. Tora realized that he had just scared me and loosened his grip a little bit.

Tora: "What's wrong bobby... never seen ya jump like that. Did I scare ya?"

He looked a little sad at the thought that of scaring me. I dried my hands off and turned around in his arms. I raised my hand to his cheek and smiled.

Poppy: "I was in a zone, wasn't expecting ya to sneak up behind me." I giggled.

Truth be told I wasn't used to the attention, Julri never went out of his way to hold me and had made sure that I knew my place. With Tora it's different, I don't feel like I have to be somebody else. I can just be me. He looked down and realizing that it wasn't because of his gorgeous but scary appearance, leaned his forehead against mine.

Tora: "Sorry Bobby, ya just looked so lost in thought, I thought you were gonna explode. So, I came over to check on ya!"

He motioned over to the counter where an empty bowl sat.

Tora: "I enjoyed that."

Poppy: "You're welcome. Now while I finish cleaning up why don't you go and lay down; you look exhausted and you have bags under your eyes."

Motioning for him to go to his makeshift bed I turn around to finish up what I was doing. After a few seconds I feel his arms wrap around me again, and this time he rests his head on top of mine.

Tora: "Nah shorty, ya coming with me."

Poppy: "Did you just call me shorty again?"

He leans down to my ear and says...

Tora: "What if I did Bobby, whatcha gonna do about it?"
