Life goes on.

"Woah, when did you get that?"

"Who did this to you?"

"How many time have I told you to be more careful?"

"You’re saying this was an accident?"

"What a shiner!"

"If you look like this, I’d hate to see the other guy."

"I’m not buying it, you don’t walk into a door and get a bruise like that!"

"Does it hurt when I touch it?"

"Let me kiss it better."

"If you don’t rest, you won’t heal."

"Another fight?"

"What happened to your face?"

"I don’t think your arm is meant to bend like that…"

"Let’s get you to bed."

"Let’s get you to the hospital."

"Why are you so calm about this?"

"You’re bleeding!"

"What are friends for, ey?"

"So, instead of helping you, they ran off the moment they saw what was happening?"

"You need to look where you’re going."

"I’m not accusing anyone, I’m just saying it looks suspicious."

"Do you want to tell me what really happened?"

"Don’t move! You’ll faint!"

"I’ve got some bandages, wait a sec."

"You’re the clumsiest person I know."

"I won’t let you be on your own, not when you’re like this."

"How could you be so careless?"

"I can’t even look at you, you promised not to get into any more fights!"

  [No words, only you getting on your tippy toes and putting your hands on the sides of his face, placing a soft kiss on his lips. Just for a quick minute.]

"Well, would you look what the cat dragged in."

“It’s a rat.”

Her tone was flat and even cold for a second, even if she was joking around she hoped her words stung at least a little bit. This bastard. She’s been waiting for this bastard to turn up for weeks. Leaning her elbow on the grand piano she took a drag off her hookah in her left hand and gave him a thin smile.

But memories of the past. 

"The mice will always return to the cheese, Mura. Even if the cat is waiting, they will always return."

 Nope nope! Haven’t seen anyone but Mr. KK.

  [You happily accept the head pats, but then start to whine when he asks how you are.]

  [Your hands are wrapped around his waist, and you’re looking up and smiling at him.]
