Burn

(Asaka Point of View)

"Hello, darling. I see the pants fit well but they do seem a bit big. I can get you some pants if needed. Oh, and I can take care of your ripped pants."

He gives me a small nervous chuckle. "There is no need for that. I can do it myself. Plus, I have pants of my own." What is he so nervous about? I wonder if he started his period or something and he doesn't want me to know.

"I know you have pants of your own but if you are going to be here for a bit, I want to make sure you have pants that fit you correctly. Plus, if I fix your ripped pants now, you can wear them again after they are washed."

"That's fine. Plus, it isn't like that is my favorite."

"That doesn't mean I can't fix them for you."

Why is he so stubborn? "Shouldn't we go make breakfast?"

I let out a small sigh. Did he really just change the topic? I guess I can drop it for now. "Yes, we should but I will fix those pants for you afterwards." 

He smiles slightly. He is so cute. I guess I can't hold it against him for not wanting to tell me what happened. "Alright. Well, let's go make those muffins."

I smile back at him as we head into the kitchen. I help him grab all of the stuff out as we make muffins. He seems to enjoy doing more of the work so I let him. Things go well until I hear him cuss under his breath.

I look over at him as I see him holding his hand causing him to drop the tray and the mitten that I was holding to get the tray out. "Darling. What happened?" I hurry over to him and I look at his hand. His hand is red and he seems to be in pain.

"Well, I was holding the mitten, but they don't do much against the heat when with my thumb and the palm area under my thumb."

"Let me see." I look at him with concern. I get a closer look at his hand. I should get something on his hand before it gets worse. Also, it hurts a bit to see him in pain. I hate this feeling. I really should just keep him here so I know when he gets hurt. "Let's put it under cold water and then get some aloe on it."

"That's a good plan."

I gently put his hand under cold water before carefully drying his hand and then putting some aloe on his hand. He seems to just let me do some. I'm glad. I can't believe I had let that happen. I need to get better mittens so this doesn't happen again. Why didn't I think of getting new ones? I have the money too. Once I finish taking care of him, I let go of his hand.

"Let me finish up, you go sit down."

"I can go do that. Thank you." He smiles at me.

I smile back at him. "It's no problem."

I watch him sit down on the couch as I go to take the rest out and put them somewhere to cool down. I feel bad for him getting hurt. I should have kept a closer eye on him. I should have taken them all out so he wouldn't have to. Then he wouldn't have gotten burned. I take a moment to let myself calm down a bit before walking into the living room where my cutie is currently sitting down. I see him waiting for me. He seems to have been waiting for me, at least. I do hope I wasn't making him wait too long. He looks so cute. I sit down next to him. 

"How are you darling?"

"My hand feels better so I'm better."

"That's good. Would you like anything to drink while we wait for the muffins to cool?"

"That would be nice. Can I have some milk?"

He just wants milk. Alright. Not something I would have but I shouldn't judge. "Of course. Give me a second."

I head into the kitchen, grab a cup, and fill it with milk. I head back out into the living room. I give him his drink and I sit down next to him. I watch him drink some of the milk. I wonder why he wanted milk. Would it be weird to ask him about it? Probably. I can wait until he tells me or I can ask farther down the line. Once he is finished, I take care of his cup for him. I check on the muffins and they seem to have cooled down. I grab four of the muffins. I head back out into the living room. I sit down and I give Levar two of the muffins.

"Since they have cooled down, why don't we eat?"

He smiles at me. He is so cute. He takes the two muffins that I was handing to him. "That would be nice."

I start eating as he does as well. I almost put my hand on his thighs but I stop myself and put my hand on my thigh. I don't think that he saw me, but I make sure to play it off.
