Chapter 8: Preparing for a housemate
Marco's POV:
Mikel was sorting the stuff they brought with Marco. His side itched a little due to Isa kicking into it with full force.
"Was that really necessary?" Mikel complained while putting cleaning and body utensils, like toothbrush, comb etc. into the bathroom.
"You know her, as soon as she sees something that bothers her she is already over the top."
"Yeah I can't believe you are a couple for nearly two years now."
"Well it isn't always easy but I'm glad I have her." Marco then put away the last piece of clothing he was sorting from his wife. "Soooo all finished, now Mikel I need you to come outside for a moment, there is something you need to know."
"Alright but what about Isa and Skarlet?"
"Isa's checking upon her to see If you DID anything to her, as well as washing and dressing her, since she can't use her arms properly. Don't come at me asking something why you couldn't do that."
"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....-"
"What did I just say!?"
"-are you suddenly upset about it, I'm grateful for your help." Mikel said with a smirk.
"Asshole...... alright now come on out."
Said and done, but while they were going out they heard someone complaining: "Why can't he wash my body? I'm just a cute well behaving octoling." Marco and Mikel were staring at each other in disbelieve, Mikel then sighted, while Marco just shook his head again as they went out.
"So, what do you want to talk about? If it's about why I'm keeping her at my place the answer is simple. She has nowhere to go and is injured, so I help her at least until she's back to good health."
"That wasn't the point, I know your caring nature. It's about her Amnesia."
"Please tell me you know something about it!"
"Well after we finished buying the stuff for you Isa went home preparing, while I asked Spyke if he knew a doctor that could give me some important information about amnesia. He then directed me to a small clinic where a specialist should be working. Luckily there were no other customers so I immediately got called upon him. As I explained the situation similar to what you told me about her, he gave me some important information."
"C'mon spill it what's the problem with her!"
"Her amnesia is most likely temporarily, due to the fact she showed a reaction when you called her out. This could happen while her mind was under huge stress, her having a traumatic experience, or other feelings, while receiving a heavy impact on the head or getting hurt a lot. Heck It could even be that she gave up on her life for example. He told me it's called HYSTERICAL AMNESIA, where her mind just couldn't take it anymore and the injury on her head just amplified that."
"I don't like this already but there is still more right?"
"You bet, you said she began having huge headaches when you said Inkopolis and Octo-Canyon right? Well that pain indicates that she had a lot of bad memories, she wanted to left behind. So, what do you think will happen when she remembers them? There might be some good memories too, but if you remember all of it in a moment?"
"Oh shiiiiit."
"Yes oh shit. I don't like using this as an example, but you remembered the tragedy back 10 years ago? Imagine you forget this for a while and suddenly remember it again. How would you react?"
"Grrrrrrrr, I would totally loose it and start going amok on Salmons."
"That's what I want to tell you. If she starts remembering she needs someone to be there for her. We can't count on help from outside since no one here knows her, and just asking around with her name could be a huge risk, because we don't know if she has enemies around here or in Inkopolis."
"What do you mean be there for her?", Mikel got slightly red.
"Don't play dumb please. I've seen how you fed her today and how calm she was. Since you saved her, she will probably trust you more than anyone around here. As for her perverted side this is probably her personality, which means when you are around, she is that much at ease that she can be herself."
"I uhhh ähm...."
"When she get's her memories back, she will be in need of someone being there for her."
"I ..... I know. Do you want to know how I felt when I was feeding her today?"
"OOOOOH yes, now we're getting juicy!"
"Piece of Salmonshit.... No back to being serious. When I was taking care of her today I felt at ease. I felt like I was atoning for my sins of letting Basti dying. The feeling of someone being close to me, the feeling of someone needing my aid, the feeling of appreciation, it was wonderful. Even though her absolute pervert side totally freaks me out!"
"Hahahaha, It has been a while since I've heard you talking like this. I hope you can call me brother and Isa sister again, once you got over your guilt. Maybe it wasn't so bad she crashed upon you." Marco was laughing while Mikel got red with both anger and embarrassment.
"Hey Marco before we go back in, what time do we have?"
"It's 18:30 pm. Why?"
"BY THE GODDAMN MOTHERSHIP IF FORGOT TO BUY GROCERIES!!!!!! THE SHOP CLOSES IN 15 MINUTES! MARCO WATCH THE HOUSE BE RIGHT BACK!" Mikel screamed while putting on his mantle and getting his wallet. Then he sprinted at full speed through the Outskirts.
"Every time he runs somewhere it sounds like an army is coming your way. No wonder that even those dumb Salmons are starting to get scared of him." Marco thought for himself while waiting for Isa to be finished with Skarlet.
"I hope he get's over his guilt from Basti, I'm sick of my brother calling me his best friend and please Skarlet, don't hurt him like Lena did, you're probably the only one that's able to heal this wound."
