Characters; Nill caged_song and Masaki needsmapquest
Summary; Nill needs to go shopping for medical supplies and Masaki agrees to accompany her. Of course, certain standards follow Masaki, such as getting lost, minor flirting, clumsiness, and getting embarrassed. Of course, it always turns out good, though with Masaki once again mistakenly thinking that it's love.
Log; "Alright! So let me get this straight. We go pick up Nill, then help her out. Afterwards, I act nice so I don't look like a total moron and so her friend doesn't try to kill me. This'll be simple!" Masaki smacked his fist in his hand with a smile. Kuro and Shiro were sitting on his shoulders, pouting.

"That's the 50th time you've said that, nya~." Kuro cast a glance over to Shiro who responded. "Actually, it's the 63rd time, nya~."

Masaki's hair stood on end at the deliberate insults his own cats threw at him. "I told you, I'm pretty sure her apartment is this way." He took off at a run to keep his cats to busy clinging onto his shoulders to talk back. After being thirty minutes late, he got to where he needed to be and knocked on the door.

Nill sat at the kitchen table, wondering if Masaki had finally come. It shouldn't have been that hard to find the place...could it? She didn't really mind waiting...it was the only thing that Nill did back home...Heine...she had waited for him all the time on the church steps...ever waiting...W-why was it so hard to get her mind off him now?

Hearing a knock, she moved over to the door, to be pleasantly greeted by Masaki. Nill smiled and shyly waved a 'hi.'

His hands were on his knees and he was huffing for his breath after sprinting for fifteen minutes. "I'm totally not late Nill-chan. Your clock is just off. That's it!" He then stepped to the side and motioned out to the hallway. Shiro gave a quick smile and said, "By your lead please, nya~."

Nodding she stepped out into the hallway and made sure to close the door. Nill stifled a soundless giggle and motioned in the direction of the building's exit. The medical store wasn't that far and it would hopefully be a nice walk.

Masaki looked down the hallway at the door. "Say, Nill-chan, are you sure it isn't this way?" He pointed in the opposite direction. "I seriously coulda swore the store was over there." He reached out and grabbed her hand and started to pull her down the hallway to where he thought the correct exit was.

Nill blinked, a look of surprise flashed across her face. W-Wha? B-But...W-wasn't it that way...? Where were they going? The girl was too weak to show any complaint to the dragging but she had been quite certain of the direction they were going...at least she thought she had...now she wasn't so sure since Masaki thought it was in the other.

When she cooperated, Masaki let go and opened the nearest door. Inside were stairs. He started going up the stairs, completely opposite of where they needed to be going. He turned around and looked down at Nill. "I'm pretty sure you go up here and then out a door to the streets! Right?" He gave her a questioning look since he wasn't quite sure.

U-Up...b-but...but they didn't live underground...Nill shook her head vigorously in reply. The girl took Masaki's hand lightly and pointed in the right direction. That way...that way.

With a big smile, Masaki turned around. "Maybe I was a little hasty. This way it is!" He sprinted forward and opened the door to the outside and held it open for Nill. He gave a content laugh. "Just like a gentleman, see!"

Nill let out a sigh of relief, she nearly thought that the two would never get out of the building. She smiled thankfully at Masaki and went through the open door. Masaki really was a gentleman...

When she stepped through the door he let it shut and walked up to Nill's side. He put his right arm around her shoulders and looked in her eyes. He pumped his left fist once and said, "This is gonna be the best date ever." Then he gave her the biggest smile he could muster, which was pretty large considering. Sweat drops fell down his cats heads. They suddenly prefered not to be around Masaki and jumped off his shoulders and walked on the ground.

Oh no...

Nill turned a bright shade of pink. A-A d-da...date? B-But they were just trying to go to the medical store...She grew flustered unsure of what to do, and how to convince him otherwise that it was just a trip to the medical store. Oh no oh no...

Masaki took her blushing only as encouragement. He excitedly continued on, wanting to strike up conversation. He noticed she never talked so he figured it was just a problem. But that would make her a perfect listener, right? "Nill-chaaaaaaan~, why is everyone so mean to me? I only try to be nice but I get hurt everyday almost."

She sighed, there was no getting out of this, was there...? As long as he didn't try anything...unusual...she'd be fine...A-and anyways...M-Masaki wasn't that type of person...he was a nice a person...and considerate...well...kind of...

Nill had actually been wondering the same thing lately, Why did he get hurt so often? He always seemed to get into some sort of fray and come back hurt...What was it...that got him into trouble all the time...?

He let go of her and dashed a couple of steps forward. With a quick twist, he turned around and started to walk backwards. He bent over a little and put his face right in front of hers. He took his right finger and used it to pull down the bottom of his right eyelid and he stuck his tongue out. "Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh."

The girl stared back dumb founded. W-Wha?

But the longer she stared at Masaki's face distorted in that way, the funnier it looked. In a matter of moments, Nill's smile blossomed into soundless laughter. I-It was...It was just so funny!

Quick to catch onto emotions, Masaki broke out in laughter too. Of course, when having fun, time passes by quickly. So before he knew it, they were at the medical store. He ran forward again to open the door and let Nill in. "What all you getting, huh? Are you getting a present for me? If so, I'll close my eyes, okay!"

Nill giggled and shook her head as she stepped through the door way. Masaki was silly. What present could she get for him in a medical store? Well...there were some cute bandaids, but number one on her list was to get a sling for Alfons. The door shut behind the two, and her periwinkle eyes scanned the items arranged on the shelves...What else was it that she needed? More bandage rolls...?

On the top shelf, there was a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. Masaki reached up and pulled it down. "You'll need this, right? It's pretty cool stuff, I think. When it gets all bubbly, it kinda stings, but it's a funny sting, don't you think?"

She titled her head to the side, Nill had never really heard of the use of hydrogen peroxide. Was it used as a disinfectant?

"Ohhhh man. We gotta get this cause it's the coolest stuff." Masaki put it under his arm so he could gesture better. "You see, when you put it on a cut or whatever, it's really cool. It makes it foam up. I dunno why but I think it's because all the bacteria is screaming in pain. Hehehe. Serves them right."

Nill giggled at Masaki's description. The way he described it, she almost felt sorry for the bacteria...It was worth a try...She nodded, Let's get it then...?

The girl quickly went over to get several bandage rolls and gauze pads since she already knew where the items were and they were easily in her reach. Now all that was left was Alfons's sling...a cloth one would do...it'd be helpful to find one but if there wasn't they could always make a makeshift sling with a long piece of cloth...

Masaki stared blankly at Nill. She was clearly searching for something but hadn't found it. "Ahhhhh, Nill-chan. What are you looking for? Maybe I can help for you." As in emphasis to his point, he scratched his head through his green hair.

Nill smiled thankfully and took Masaki's hand, placiing it palm up. She traced the word "arm" then "sling" with her finger, letter by letter.

Masaki's fast went a pale white and his expression was aghast. "Drunken fling?! WHAT KINDA PERSON ARE YOU?!"

The girl practically fell over from his response. She shook her head furiously, N-Nooooooo~

He cocked his head to the side. "Farm pig? How are you gonna get that here?"cherubim kitty (12:13:10 AM): She shook her head again, not a farm pig. Okay...maybe the palm writing didn't work...it usually did with Heine...and Miss Naoto...and Bishop...when he actually paid attention to it...

"Alright, you got me. I suck at charades. So what is it?" He looked around trying to find something that rhymed with the things he mentioned. When it caught his eye, he smiled. He jogged over and picked up a blue foam thing with arm straps attached. "A sling, right!"

Nill nodded vigorously, a smile spilling across her features. It was exactly what she was looking for. She practically ran over and gave Masaki a hug for finding it...well, not practically...she did.

Masaki's face blushed a bright red. He was okay with flirting with girls but when they ever did anything back, it embarassed him. He covered up his face with his hands and looked in between his fingers. He spoke, his voice muffled by the palms of his hands. "N-N-Nill-chan....."

Hearing her name mentioned she looked up to be greeted with a blushing Masaki. She blinked, what did she do? Her eyes widened as she realized that she had hugged Masaki. Hugging wasn't a bad thing...but she did it so suddenly...and without thinking...O-Oh no...

Nill quickly let go and took a step back, her face turning a bright shade of pink.

Masaki quickly gathered up all the items including the things Nill had in her hands. He trotted up to the register, trying to keep his eyes from making contact with hers. "W-We should pay for these now, okay? I'll take care of it, so don't worry about it."

The girl shook her head, embarrased to go any closer to Masaki but willing to pay for the things. After all...he...Masaki had helped keep her company there...it would be incredibly rude of her to have Masaki pay...M-Masaki~ She flustered.

He wasn't looking at her, so he didn't know that she was trying to get across that he didn't have to pay. To tell the truth, he didn't really care that he was paying anyways. So he continued through the checkout process trying not to look at her. When he got done, he opened the door for Nill again but looked down at the floor, face still red.

Nill stopped just before she went completely out the door...and took the bag filled with the items that had just bought, from Masaki's hold and then proceeded through the door, carefully holding them out of Masaki's reach. Since he had paid...at least she'd hold the things.

Oh no, Masaki wasn't about to be beat out yet. He may be a bit flustered, but he was going to make sure Nill-chan didn't have to do anything. He reached out for the bag but tripped over, falling forward. Kuro and Shirou quickly vacated the area, not wanting to get squished.

Hearing a thump, Nill turned around, her eyes widening at the sight of a fallen Masaki. Ah! W-Was that her fault...? Oh no...she hoped he wasn't hurt...she rushed forward to help him up, practically dropping the medical supplies.

He rolled over onto his back and weakly reached upwards. "I'm done for. Go on without me! I'll hold them off here while you escape."

Nill fretted, was he getting dillusional? Or was he just being dramatic...The girl couldn't really tell, but she worried nonetheless. She took the outstretched hand in hopes of taking him by surprise and pulling him up...but she didn't have the strength to pull him up really...

Using Nill as a balance, he pulled himself upwards. He scrambled to pick up the dropped items and gave her a thumbs up. "YAY! Victory!"

Surprise flew across her face, but she quickly recovered and tried to take back the supplies. Her lips pursed in determination.

Masaki faked a cruel smile and lifted everything over his head. He started to walk of, unknowingly in the wrong direction. After a few steps though, he turned around, stuck out his tongue, and gave Nill a raspberry. "I get to be the perfect gentleman today Nill-chan!"

She pouted for a while, and then sighed, reluctantly giving up and letting Masaki do the carrying. Nill ran up and took his hand, she'd let him do the carrying...but the winged-girl wouldn't let him get lost...

Since he was back to normal again, he let himself get dragged along by Nill, enduring a few bumbs and bustles on the way. He still kept silent because he was afraid of getting embarrased again. He hated that feeling that ran through him although sometimes it was good. Still, he was only 17, so he still wasn't used to handling it properly.

Pretty soon, the two reached Nill's building, the medical supply store wasn't that far after all. She looked towards Masaki and held out her hands for the supplies. She could get to the room just fine from here...plus she was worried that he wouldn't be able to find the exit once he entered the building.

He handed everything over to her and made sure it was organized properly so she wouldn't drop it. He smiled and said, "Thank you for the great outing, Nill-chan. We should do it again! Next time in the Cybuster!" He opened the door for her one last time to let her in.

Nill gave Masaki a thankful smile and stepped through. Thank you for being such a gentleman Masaki... She waved one last time before making her way to her room. A next time really would be fun.
