Someone You Love
"Go into the bathroom now! Douse your whole body with water, then use soap and shampoo. Do you understand?" He said with a fierce expression on his face. Sheera was scared and immediately ran towards what Keith called the 'bathroom'.
Keith felt that he had to have extra patience, because if not, he would go berserk and change his human form.
"Damn it, no no! I have to be able to restrain myself from that fool! Don't let her see who I really am!" He thought.
"Keith?" Sheera called him again. He was forced to look at Sheera who was standing in front of the bathroom door with her body wet, but she was still wearing her clothes.
Keith was shocked, this girl was taking a shower while still wearing clothes on her body. What kind of human could do something as stupid and senseless as that? And what made it even more absurd, the girl smiled happily as if she had done something right.
"I've finished showering!" She said with an innocent face.
"Oh my gosh, you are really going too far, aren't you?"
"I was wrong again, weren't I?"
"You're still asking? You really don't have a brain, do you? You idiot! If you're taking a shower, you should take off all your clothes first!"
"I-is that so?" Azura, who panicked, immediately pulled the clothes that were stuck to her body. Aiden glared, he almost had a heart attack.
"W-what are you doing? What do you want?"
"Taking off my clothes? You mean this thing I'm wearing, right? Don't worry, I understand what you're saying!"
"No! You don't understand at all, you idiot!"
Azura managed to take off all her wet clothes and left her naked. She smiled happily in front of a man whose soul he had messed up.
"See, can I? After this, I just need to wash my body with water, right?" She said as she walked towards the bathroom. She looked so cheerful that she didn't realize that Aiden had completely lost the words to say.
Aiden sat limp with his face red and feeling hot. His heart was beating very fast and it felt very painful for him.
"You damn woman! She's only been here a day, she's already driving me almost crazy." His feelings were raging, he had just seen a very beautiful sight.
A few minutes later, Azura came out of the bathroom and immediately approached Aiden, who didn't want to see her.
"Hey, Aiden. I've finished showering!"
"Why do you still smell? Have you used soap?"
"Soap? Which soap is that?"
"Oh my gosh, why are you so stupid? You don't have one, do you?" Aiden shouted at her in an annoyed tone. Azura was confused, she didn't know what else was wrong? She felt she had done everything Aiden said.
Her feelings were hurt, tears streamed down her face without her realizing it. Seeing her cry like this made Aiden feel very guilty.
"I'm sorry, Aiden. I was so stupid. I'm really sorry." She said while sobbing.
Aiden got up and took the towel that Azura had left in front of the bathroom. He covered Azura's body with the towel, then wiped the tears from the girl's face.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault for being too rude to you. I just don't know how to deal with women. I'm sorry!" He said softly. Azura stopped crying, she immediately hugged Aiden just like that.
Aiden was stunned, confused as to why Azura could be so bold as to hug a man she had just met like this as if she didn't have any worries. However, because Azura had already hugged him, he decided to just let it go.
"Are you always like this with strange men?"
"No!"
"Is it true?"
"I've only ever hugged Ethan like this, but that was a long time ago."
"Is he your boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend? What is a boyfriend?"
"Tsk, just forget it!"
"Ethan is someone very precious to me. I miss him very much and always dream of meeting him again."
Aiden smiled gently, he didn't expect that of the many things that Azura might have done, the only thing she remembered was the name of someone who was very important to her. But what he didn't know was the fact that from the start Azura never lost her memory, she only pretended because it was the only thing she could do to survive in a situation she didn't understand.
"Okay, I understand. Put it this way, you and I look like we both already have people we like, right?"
"Someone you like?"
"You mean someone you love, I do the same. There is a girl I love more than anything. Because right now you are under my responsibility, I don't want her to misunderstand me."
"Why would she misunderstand?"
"Of course because you live with me right now, you are a woman and I am a man. Don't you understand that?"
"Is that something wrong?"
"Not really, actually she and I don't have any relationship. It's just one-sided feelings, that's why I'm the one who hopes too much for her."
