Chapter 7: Reality of it All

We sat in a long period of silence for awhile.

Then I spoke.

 

"I don't hate you for what you did."

 

She looks up at me, her misyt turquoise eyes swirling with relief. "You don't?" she asks, just to make sure she wasn't hearing things. I nod, rolling the sheet covers inbetween my fingers. "No, I don't. You weren't paying attention. It's not like you did it on purpose, right? So what's the reason to hate you? I'm pretty sure it'll never happen again," I say, and I pass her a genuine smile. She places a hand over her heart and breathes a long sigh of relief. "Thank God. I was worried you did. Either way, it was my fault and I'm sorry."

 

"It's okay. Again, I don't hate you."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

 

She smiles back at me, then snuggles into her chair. "Guess I'd better get to bed, eh?" she laughs playfully. I stare at the hard metal chair as she adjusts herself to make herself comfortable. I start to hand her one of my bedsheets, then stop.

 

"Ayumi?"

"Yes, Alphonse sir?"

"Two things. One: you dont' have to call me 'sir'. Call me Al. Two: I need your help. Come over here."

 

Ayumi stares for a second, then nods as she stands up. She comes closer and I smile. "Sleep with me."

 

She blushes hard and stumbles back. "Are you kidding me!? I barely know you, you nasty pervert!" she shouts, and she raises her hand to slap me. I shout, then cover my face. "No, not like that! I meant share my bed with me! That chair looks like it's real uncomfortable!" I shout all at once, and I wonder if it comes out as a garbled up mess.

 

Instead of slapping me, she blushes again. "Oh..see I thought you meant--"

 

"No! Oh goodness no! I'm not like that!"

"Oh..."

 

She looks back at her chair, then at my bed, then back to the chair again. "Y'know, I think I'll take you up on that offer."

 

She's skinny, so her crawling in is no problem. She cuddles next to my body, the heat bouncing off her delicate skin. I'm blushing, I can tell, but I dont think she notices. Almost immedietly she's alseep, but I stay awake for awhile longer.

 

I need to get her out of bed before morning. If Brother walks in...

 

I fall asleep before I can finish my thought.
