Sighing, I slid my eye patch back over my socket. I felt my cheeks start to redden at his mention of me being like a friend to him, obviously thinking it in a different way than intended. 'Ah, so he likes me, likes me! This changes everything! I just need to get him less of a friend then!' "So you do have feelings for me! I knew it!" I laughed, all my gloominess instantly vanishing. "But if you ever mention that I'm missing an eye ever again, I'll cut you, mister Elliot Skin-tonewarlock!"
.: Elliot Greenwich :.
"W-what? I said you were the closest thing I had to a friend. I did not, however, say that I liked you!" I spluttered, my face going slightly red. "oh, and we're both Alpha, so threats aren't needed." Wow. Situations could get out of control easily. Why did I have to pick that house to steal?
"Heheh... You looove me!" I mocked, a mischievous grin upon my face as I leaned closer to Elliot. "By saying that I'm the closest thing you have to a friend also could means that I'm in between a lover and a friend, but closer to being a friend!" I giggled, ruffling his hair. " Haha! Don't blush! It's totally natural for a guy to love a girl!"
.: Elliot Greenwich :.
I groaned and buried my face in my hands. God, this girl was impossible. "When I said the closest thing I have to a friend, I meant that on the stranger-friend scale! Not the friend-lover scale!" I sighed. "Let me make this clear right now. I don't love you." Why Elliot? Why? Why did I have to hang around with her in the first place?
"You won't be able to hide your feelings from me forever..." I chuckled as I stood up. "Your face gets so red when you blush..." I snickered. I looked across the street towards a convenience store. "Elliot, think we can get stuff in there? Like medical stuff?" I questioned, patting his head.
.: Elliot Greenwich:.
I sighed again as my head was patted. "You're impossible.." I muttered before standing up. "We can probably get basics. Tomorrow, we can find a pharmacy or something and get any extra stuff." Thank god I changed the subject, although I knew that I'd never hear the end of this.
"If I were impossible, then I wouldn't even be here!" I laughed,grabbing his hand as I pulled him towards the store. Once inside, I picked up a box of matches. "What's this thing?" I asked, lighting one of them.
.: Elliot Greenwich :.
I let myself be dragged into the store. By this point, I'd given up trying to reason with her. My eyes widened as I saw her pick up the matches. "Uh oh. I don't think that's a good idea..." I took the matches from her. In her current condition, she could easily burn this place down by accident or on purpose. "Can we just go buy the stuff we need please?"
.: Elliot Greenwich :.
"What we need..." I pondered it for a moment, forming a mental list. "Let's start off with bandages." I dragged her over to the aisle with the pharmacy section and started to grab all the stuff I needed to do a basic patch up of her wound. "We've got everything we need." I'd managed to fill up a basket with medical supplies. "Oops... Looks like I kinda grabbed pretty much everything we could possibly need. Oh well. At least we won't have to go to a pharmacy in the near future."
"How do you even know what's what? All these boxes have gibberish and weird symbols on them..." I muttered, pointing to the lettering on one of the items.
.: Elliot Greenwich :.
"Hm? Oh, don't worry. I know what they all mean. I'm not foolish enough to go and grab stuff that I don't know anything about." I walked over to the till and paid. "Shall we go back your place then?"
.: Elliot Greenwich :.
I sighed. Either the memory loss kept coming back or she was thick. I hoped that it was the first. "Lucky that I know where we're going then, isn't it." I lead her back down the Main Street, towards her house.
"Elliot, what if I forget you? I don't what that to happen..." I whimper, holding his hand as I enter the house. "I can't even remember how to read, and i just forgot where I lived..." I mumbled, sitting down on the sofa.
.: Elliot Greenwich :.
I was taken aback by her sudden concern about forgetting me. How was I meant to reassure her about that? "Well, since I'm here right now, do you think that you'll magically forget about me?" I squeezed her hand reassuringly."don't worry. It'll all be fine."I smiled at her. An actual genuine smile.
"Alright... But what if I do forget about you? What would you do then?" I asked, rubbing my eye patch where blood had started to lightly trickle around it. "My eye is bleeding again..."
.: Elliot Greenwich :.
As her eye started to bleed again, I grabbed the medical supplies and started to tend to her wound. "Hmm... If you forgot me, then I'd teach you to remember me again." I didn't really know how I'd do that, but I knew I would. I didn't know why I would do that either. I would have usually just shrugged it off and said that it was a waste of time but, since this was the only friend I'd had for years, I felt the need to protect her. I assumed that it was because I felt that she was my friend. I didn't think I wanted to know the other possibilities.
"Thank you..." I smiled softly as I pulled off my eye patch. "And if you ever forget your memory, I'll do the same for you..." I grinned, placing a hand on his shoulder.
