Dr. Sohma

           “Well, Aya invited me!! But he never showed up like           he said he would!! He said he would message you.”

Was this a lie? Or was this the truth? At the moment, there was no telling with Shigure. The tears that ran down his face could have very easily been crocodile tears.

Shigure’s crying was too much. Hatori swore that the next time Shigure came in for a flu shot, he would make it as painful as possible. He did not deserve the headache this was going to give him later.

Tohru didn’t push anymore on the Akito question. She knew just how difficult it was for the zodiacs to speak of him.  “I am very glad to hear that Hatori,” she sat down on her legs and took a sip of her tea. “I also appreciate you joining me for tea. It would be quite quiet here without it.”  Tohru liked her alone time, but sometimes it was nice to have easy company. Hatori was just an easy presence even though he did come across a little bit stern. 

Hatori picked up the tea and gave it a gentle blow to help cool it down. He took a small sip to taste the tea before setting it down once more. It was good tea. Miss Honda was the perfect host, and he had to admit that it was a nice change compared to Shigure always expecting Hatori to make the tea, even though he was a guest.

He set the tea down once more. The real reason he had dropped by was because he wanted to hear how everyone was doing at this house, specifically Yuki. The doctor had heard that he was doing better and Hatori sincerely hoped that was true. He still felt guilty after the incident. 

He looked at everything on the table. He hadn't realized that Hana dealt with these kinds of issues, but he couldn't focus on his own thoughts about the situation. First, he needed to make sure that Hana was okay.

He kneeled down next to Hana, lightly moving her hair away from their face. He thought about getting her some water but thought it best not to leave her.

He had not been honest at all. How could he explain that they couldn't work together because her memories may be triggered without telling her that she had had her memories erased by him? How could he tell her that he was terrified of working with her in a setting they had originally fallen in love in?

Hatori wasn't one to make jokes or play pranks. Shigure was always telling him to relax and enjoy himself, but Hatori wasn't a funny person, and he was fine with that. But with Momiji, he had wanted to try. He wanted to be someone worthy of being called Vati, so he was trying.

Hatori was silent for a few minutes. He really wish that he could give Momiji his life back. He deserved to have a complete family: a mother, a father, and a little sister. These were all things Hatori took away. It was his fault. While he wasn't sure what would have happened if he had refused her request, it was still his fault that Momiji didn't have a real family.

She couldn’t help but find herself feeling really happy over this and a warmth spread through her.. It might not have been anything incredibly deep, but it was a start.. Maybe he was starting to see her as a friend as well.. It was something she could only hope with.  “Ah.. hot chocolate. I know it’s not the healthiest drink and I do have it a little more often than I do, but it makes me feel really comforted. Like I’m getting a hug.” She smiled happily. “Plus I enjoy how sweet it is.” As much as she avoided sweets often for her own personal reasons that she certainly wasn’t going to delve into today.. She couldn’t help herself when it came to hot chocolate. A pleased hum left her as she looked at him with warm eyes.  “Do you have today off?” She asked softly wondering how he managed the free time.. But gods, she was happy to steal even a few moments of his time today. She really liked when he was around. 

Hot chocolate... When he thought about it, it suited her. Coffee and tea were sometimes too bitter for some people, and for someone as young as she, he wasn't all that surprised that she preferred hot chocolate. He did wonder where she usually bought it. It wasn't a popular drink in Japan. Hatori always had to make it from scratch for Momiji when the blond was younger. That had been a while ago, though. Perhaps the drink had become more popular within the last few years. He wasn't sure, but it wasn't information that he found especially important.

He wondered if she was a person who liked marshmallows in her hot chocolate. Maybe she preferred whipped cream with chocolate shavings. Or she might have liked it plain too choosing to focus on the chocolate richness of the beverage. He wanted to ask, but he felt that maybe these were silly questions. He knew people usually found him quite serious, and he didn't mind that reputation, but he felt that asking questions like that would affect this image. He wasn't quite ready to let go of that image yet.
