Chapter 7 ~ Sick

Aaron's POV

I wake up, nearly feeling completly numb. I look next to me, seeing a sleeping Aphmau. I chuckle and get up. I then realize that my clothes were scattered across the floor.

Crap.

I look to the other side of the bed and see Aph's clothes in a pile. I shoot up into the air, my tail flat.

"What have I done....?!" I whisper-yell, slapping my hands on my face.

Aphmau groans sleepily and rolls over, pulling the blankets over her body. I get out of bed and slip on my pants, my messy hair falling into my face every second. I go downstairs and open the fridge.

"Nothing...but...milk. Ugh..." I groan, grabbing the milk from the fridge. I get cereal from the cabinet and grab a bowl. I hear Aphmau yawn upstairs. I hear a loud thud.

"Ouch." I hear her complain. "Wait, what!?!" Aphmau squeals.

"This is where she comes down and questions me like crazy..." My ears completly fall down.

I wait for a moment but all I hear are footsteps pacing. I grab a spoon and begin eating my food. Still, nothing but pacing until I hear another thud.

"Aph, are you okay??" I yell up to her.

"Uhm, yeah." She says in a pained voice.

"Are you sure?" I begin walking up the stairs, when I hear the doorbell ring.

I walk back down and look through the window. My eyes shrink and my stomach twists. I grab my mask from under my pocket and wrap it to my head. I open the door.

"Sylvanna! What are you doing here....?" I ask nervously.

"Is my Hija here?" She looks behind me.

"Er....No?" I tensen.

"I'm right here mom!" Aphmau stumbles down the stairs, falling into my arms.

"Why so clumsy?" Sylvanna questions.

"Err, just hit my knee. Heh..." She lies.

"Okay..can I talk to you two?" She pushes her way through the door.

"Two? You wanna talk to both of us?" I ask scarcely.

"Yes..." She grabs Aphmau from my arms and pulls her to the couch.

I close the door, following. We all sit, and Aphmau holds her stomach, eyes scrunched in pain.

"So, I wanna talk about yesterday...I guess I kinda overreacted." She sighs.

"Mom, it's perfectly fine being protective of me-" Aphmau starts, then Sylvanna covers her mouth.

"Aphmau, I want you to be happy. Live a life with Aaron. I don't need to be protective. I know you've grown, and I just really love you, Hija. It hurts me so much to tell you all this, but I want you to be happy." Sylvanna smiles.

"You're joking?" My ears twitch.

"Nope." Sylvanna states confidently.

"Hey, uh, I'll be right back..." Aphmau falls off the couch, stumbling to the bathroom.

If you tell her now she won't be mad later...

I know, but I'm scared I may die...

Just do it!! She'll find out sooner or later.

"What's up with her?" She looks at me, a concerning expression painted on her face.

"Well...you-you know how you...you said you wanted g-grandba-babies?" I stammer, my insides burning like lava.

Her eyes shink, and her facial expression falls into shock.

"What. Do. You. Mean. Aaron...?" She plasters a very fake smile to her face.

"Well...." My voice squeaks.

I hear barfing come from the bathroom. I squeak, imagining the pain she's in. Sylvanna cups her hands togther.

"Aaron, I know this will sound very foward. I am glad my Hija found a guy like you. And, if she's pregnant-" I cut her off.

"If." I state.

"If...then I need to know...do you like it?" She blurts.

"Uhm, what?" I back away uncomfortably.

"Better put a ring on it~" She winks.

"I already have!! And you used that pun yesterday!" I squeak, complaining to her.

"A marriage ring." She smiles.

"Why are you being so kind to me all of a sudden!? Is it hot in here???" I grit my teeth, backing away from her.

"C'mon, you love her!" She smiles.

"I just asked her to be my girlfriend! I can't just ask it out of the blue!!" I drench my clothes with sweat.

"You've known her since middle school...and you two kissed on the last day of highschool." She crosses her arms sassily.

"How do you know that?!" My eyes shrink.

"I get all the secrets out of my Hija." She smiles.

"Who was her first kiss?" I try to change the subject.

"You. Now, when do you plan to ask her?" She giggles.

"Not until a while!" I finally break, yelling at her.

"What's going on?" Aphmau stumbles out of the bothroom.

"Oh, just have been having a conversation.  You've been gone for awISLE." She puns her sentence.

"Grrrr...." I growl at her.

"You okay, Aaron?" Aphmau falls back onto the couch, looking more sick then I've ever seen her.

"Yup. Just. Fine..." I glare at Sylvanna.

"Oh~ho! So, Aphmau, I am kinda rearranging my house. Have any ideas on how to do it? How I can bRING the house to at great look?" Sylvanna winks at me.

"Sylvanna...." I growl.

"Uhm, yeah. Just decorate it, but don't make things everywhere. Decorate with plants or cute things. Then put some scenty things around." Aph smiles to her mom.

"Ah, nice. I do hope that your advice is gonna help." Sylvanna smiles.

"Okay...so mom, why exactly are you here?" Aph leans back onto me.

"Uhm...I forgot. May aswell go and decorate. Talking really kisses- I mean kills time. Heh. Cya!" She zips up, flying out the door.

"Uh, what was that about...?" Aph's mouth straightens.

"Uh, huh, I dunno..." I sweat, my face burning.

"What were you two actually talking about?" She faces me, a smile on her face.

"Nothing..." I bite my inner lip, my insides on fire.

"Oooh, is it a present!?" She laughs.

"Maybe..." I sigh, relieved she made my lies work.

"Heheh....err, stay here...I-I'll be right-" She runs to the bathroom, holding her mouth.

"What have I done...?" I ask myself.

She comes out, looking green of nausea. She plops down on the couch and lays on me. Her face burns through my pants, literally burning me.

"I don't feel good..." She cuddles herself into me, her face burning my stomach (you mean your abs 😉).

"You are so hot." I say, unintentionally saying she's cute.

"I know. Hehe." She giggles.

"I didn't mean it like that!" I look down to her.

"Your saying I'm not hot?" She gives me large puppy eyes.

"No! You are- I mean..what I meant is that your very warm. Let me take your temperature." I get up, laying a pillow where my body was for her.

I grab an rag and get it wet, then grab a thermometer. I walk back to her, her wincing in pain. I lift her head up and sit down, putting her head back down. I put the rag on her head and put the thermometer in her mouth. After a moment it beeps. I look at it.

"Whoa...that's not normal." I stare at the thermometer.

"What..?" She groans out.

"101.4..." (100.4 is considered a bad sickness for adults, so...yeh) I read aloud the temperature.

"Ohhh..." She says drowsily, slowly falling asleep.

I massage her head until she completly falls asleep. I think about Sylvanna's words, and what she wants. I think until my brain hurts too much to think. I close my eyes, napping away...
