Keep That Smile Up, ok? Part 2 (The Stringless Puppet of The Void)

Hidden Reflection

-S-shut up! I was TRYING to be nice, but you take way more than I can give. Desire Haru blushed a bit and rolled her eyes

-So... Umm did we come to an agreement? Haru asked

-Absolutely not. Our ideas are different from each other, I just tolerate your stupid idea. Desire Haru answered straight-forward 

-You're very stubborn aren't you... Haru sighed

-That's none of your business.. Desire Haru looked away

-Well at least you tolerate me to some point... That's something new... Haru said

-I was thinking about that sandwich a lot... Can you...Make more? Desire Haru's look changed from upset to curious

-Well yes of course, but where did this come out of, all of a sudden? Haru was confused

-I don't know... I'm just hungry, you know being always alone here isn't fun.. Desire Haru sighed

-How are you hungry? I'm pretty sure we don't need food, do we? Haru questioned

-It's not about hunger necessarily, ever heard about feeling empty? That's kind of the way I felt lately... She explained

-You mean...Numbness? Emotional numbness?

-Hm yeah, close to that.. There's really nothing making me feel anything in this empty place...

-I... Can't exactly help you with that, but I can make a sandwich if it makes you feel better... Haru tried her best to help in a way

-I just don't know how I'll be able to hand it over to you... Haru said puzzled

-Oh... Desire Haru felt a bit dissapointed

-Don't worry when I'll be able to, I'll give you a good bite, just be patient. Haru smiled in reassurence

Desire Haru nodded, but didn't smile back, she wasn't in the mood for it.

-Haru is everything alright? She heard a voice from outside the bathroom

-Ummm I-I think you should return back!! Haru said in a hurry

-See you. Is all the reflection said and dissapeared

-Haru, I heard something, are you okay??

-Erwin? How did you get into my house??

-Umm, I just did... He said

-*sigh*, I'm fine you don't have to worry... Just knock the next time you check on me. Haru seemed a bit angry.

-O-oh, sorry. Erwin scratched the back of his head

-What are you doing here anyways? Haru asked

-Well... I wanted to give you this but no one opened the door so... Erwin gave Haru a ticket for a movie night

-A ticket...? Haru looked at it

-So do you want to go out with me some day? Erwin looked a bit flustered

But Haru didn't seem very pleased.

-Can we... Maybe... Hang out another day? I don't feel like going now... Haru refused

-Huh? Why not? Are you busy? Erwin was confused

-Of course I want to stay with you... But... Not go out..

-Well if you don't like outdoor activities, just tell me. Erwin sighed

-Can you...

-Eh?

-Can you stay along for sometime? I need a moment of silence, if it makes sense.

Erwin didn't think much about why Haru needed a "moment of silence" and nodded.

-Sure, if it'll make you feel better in any way. He told

-Thanks! Haru grinned and kissed his cheek

-Now please go outside the bathroom, I need to change. Haru sulked

-A-ah r-right, sorry. Erwin blushed and ran to the living room

As silly as he is I love him...
