The carpet grew inches from his sight before pushing away.
"Ninety-eight!Ninety-nine!" His arms shook like jello. "Hundred! Ah. This sucks."
K tiredly falls on his back before doing situps.
The door to his room opened, revealing the Teen that watched anime with him.
"Hey. I Brought-" The Teen paused, watching K counting his situps. "You're doing it."
"You thought I was lying? Ten."
"Well, just don't push yourself hard. Ok?"
"But that's the fun part. Fourteen. When you have to pull me off, Danny. You be jealous of me having a fantastic body."
"Hardly. Hey. Why it's hot in here?"
"I used the breaker to turn off my room AC."
"You know how to use a breaker?"
"I flip switches." K grunts.
"Ok." Danny slaps the door frame. "Brought some Chinese."
"I'm good. I'm sticking to my training plan. Ack! I'll pay you back."
"Goodluck. Tiger." Danny closes the door shut.
K's alarm blares.
The boy lightly hits the alarm. He raised from his bed, turning to the other side, revealing no one.
...
K walked down the street to the school, seeing students entering.
He looks down at his phone to check his messages.
M: I know. I can't stop you, but be careful.
K: Alright.
"K! K!" A voice draws him from his phone to Issa sprinting at him. "Wait a minute." She stops panting.
Issa put up her finger.
"Yuma? Have you seen her?"
"Yuma?" K tlits his head.
"The girl, my girlfriend! Or used to. Please tell me where she is."
"Slow down. What does Yuma look like?"
"Look like?! She came to school for a week. You talked to her!!"
K noticed a few students staring.
"I'm trying to understand."
"You don't!!!" She stomps away as K sighs and follows.
They arrived at the academy meeting, with Matsuda and Motohama by the gates.
Issa ran to them.
"Matsuda. Motohama. Do you remember my girlfriend, Yuma?" She said in a panic.
Matsuda and Motohama look at K dumbfounded as he shrugs.
"Girl, I don't know what you're talking about it. Are you hiding a girl?" Matsuda frowns his brows.
"Agree." Motohama folds his arms with a glare.
"Jes-ack! " Issa rubs her forehead.
"Girl, if you've been popping bottles, why didn't you hook us up?" Matsuda questioned.
"I wasn't!" She raised her voice. "I brought her here a week ago! You guys talked."
"Listen, Issa." Motohama pushed his glasses. "It's not funny to throw lies like that. We have feelings, you know, come on Matsuda."
They leave as Issa sighs heavily.
K places his hand on her shoulder.
"Look, I don't know. What this all about, but I'll believe you."
Issa smiled softly but shrugged his hand off.
"You just--Don't understand." She walks away.
'Was it that woman last night?'
K scratches his cheek.
"Kae Woods?" K looked over his shoulder at Akeno.
"Uh..hello?"
"Akeno Himejima, my president, would like to see you. At the Occult Research Club."
"Ok, lean the way." He adjusts his backpack strap while Akeno begins their journey.
They walk silently toward the old clubhouse where K went a few days ago. K decided to break the silence.
"How are things going for you? In the club, I mean."
"I'm fine, thanks for asking. You? How's this school treating you?"
"It's not bad, but I'll ride it out."
"Good. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Akeno opened the door for K as they entered the old clubhouse.
"You sure keep it clean. And the red carpets just for me?"
"We do with the resources provided. I wanted to do more, yet we needed the budget."
They reached the second floor eyeing the double doors at the end.
"This way." She opens it for him.
"Thanks."
She only smiled, following him in.
Rias was looking out the window while Akeno closed the door behind her gaining her attention.
"Rias, K is here."
Rias raise an eyebrow.
"Right? K, I would like you to join the Occult Research Club."
"I'm good."
Rias and Akeno staggered.
"Sorry?"
"I said no because I want to do my own thing."
"Well. We want to help in some way to return the favor."
"Favor?"
"Darling."
The door opens, revealing the woman in the red dress. She gave K a warm smile while he tilted his head.
"What you did is noble. Characteristics like this are what we promote in the club and steel into the minds of others. Please reconsider."
"I'm glad you're doing well." K looked to the woman in the red dress, that only nodded. "But I'm a busy guy."
"We can adjust the schedule? Akeno is knowledgeable in the courses you take. You wouldn't feel like you left the classroom."
K remained silent, his eyes never wavering.
"I'm sorry, but I can't."
"Shame." She sighs. "We can help each other. Hit."
K's face grew defined while Akeno and the women stepped back.
"I'm not here to hurt you. Only to carry out a debt."
"And this debt?"
"To hunt these monsters, you call it." She approached her desk before sitting on it. She crosses her leg on top of one another. "Mosukito Musume. Mosquito Girl. We call her. She was a regular girl once, only to join the House of Evolution, which turned her into a bloodlust Muntant. We managed to dispose of the House with help and banished her to hell, only to come back.
"More is scattered, and we don't know when they'll turn up and Where? But we know one thing." She put up a finger. "Someone is releasing them." She clears her throat. "You don't have to join, but we can be allies."
"So. The ones disposing of the monsters were not the police but you and others." K spoke while Rias nodded. "I don't trust easily."
"I take the safety and pride of my members very seriously. And as a safety precaution, Miko is in watchful eyes to the members I trust my life with. And we know how Ms.Yuri is all you have left. "
K's face softens while Rias shoulders do the same.
"I do all of this for Kuoh. They suffered enough."
"I admire that." She smiled.
"Wait? How do you fight off threats?"
Wings erupt from Rias back, followed by Akeno and The red dress woman.
"We're devils, of course."
"May I?" He points to Akeno.
"Sure. But be gentle." Akeno answered, awaiting K's arrival.
The door opened.
"Koneko." Rias chirped while a white hair petite girl eyed the room. "Come meet our new ally."
She gazes at K.
"He doesn't look like much."
K points at Koneko.
"Is this someones lost child?"
Rias and Akeno giggled.
"No. But Koneko is also a member of this club."
K gently rubbed the edges of Akeno's black wings, admiring how cool they looked as Akeno blushed up a storm.
Her breath shook while K retracted his hands, worried.
"I'll stop."
"It's fine." Akeno clears her throat. "You can examine it any time." She winked.
"Don't tempt me." K looks at his phone. "I have to go to class. Can I-" He stops to see Rias holding a slip. K takes it.
He walks to the door.
"Thanks again." Rias voiced.
K nodded before looking at Koneko, staring back at him.
He unzipped his backpack before tossing a bag of candy in her hand.
"Was going to eat that, but I got more at home." K takes his leave while Koneko looks back at the candy in hand.
After that day, He was approached by Akeno, passing him a flyer. She told him he could summon them if he wished to it. They exchanged numbers and went on their way.
K closed the door behind, sighing as he took off his shoes.
"K?" Miko voiced.
"Yeah?" K entered the kitchen to see Miko cleaning the dishes.
"Guess what? I got a promotion! I'm Bank Manager!"
"Congrats."
'Was that Rias?'
"All my hard work finally paid off." She sighs. "I wish Hito was here."
K stays silent. The water running filled his ears.
"I'm sorry."
Miko looked over her shoulder.
"What? Wait, don't think like that. That was never your fault. Things happen for a reason. You hear me?"
"Yes."
"What you did was reckless, but you saved our lives. And many. I don't improve this Vigilante mess, but I see progress even a year ago." She turns the water off and presses her hand on K's face. "I admire your determination, for Akihito, but It still scares me, K."
K avoid her eyes.
A knock comes on their front door.
"I got it. Coming!" K opens the door.
"Hey." A young blonde nun smiled. "My name is Asia." She bows with a card in hand. "Please. Let god in your life, so he shall comfort you and your loved ones."
K takes the card.
God Loves you.
"We will like to see you in the church on the hill. Oh!" She slides the strap bag in front of her, pulling out a mini bible. "Or. Read what he provided."
"Uh. Thanks."
She bows once again.
"Thank you for allowing me your presence. Have a nice day."
"Well, you too." Asia walked from their yard to a woman in front of them.
'Raynare?'
They kept down the street while K closed the door.
A week now. K decided to buy some groceries since there was 50 percent off at Super Mart.
Wearing a white hoodie, K pushed a cart and listened to music.
He looked around the store's meat section.
"Hmm...Beef or Crab?" He holds both products looking at the prices. "I guess both." He drops them into his cart and heads for the cashier.
"That would be four thousand five-hundred-thirty-six yen." The cashier states, placing K's food into the bag.
K pulled out his wallet and noticed it was raining outside.
"Weird, it wasn't supposed to rain today. The weather crew should get it together." The cashier said the last sentence under his breath. He continues to do what he's doing, and K pays for it.
"Have a nice day."
"You, too." He walks out the door staring at the raindrops in front of him. He sighs, holding his bags in his hand.
'I should bring my umbrella next time. Yeah, that can work.'
He was about to walk out, but his phone rang.
Akeno
Calling...
"Hello? K's speaking."
"K, get here now!!!" Akeno yells while He hears Electricity exploding, cries of death, and Rias giving commands.
"Where are you?"
"Here at" His phone cut out.
"Damn." He sprints through the rain, leaving a water trail behind. He made it home and threw on his Hit costume, like a hoodie and brown Jacket.
He sprints out the door with determination and a blank look.
---
Rias and her servants were holding off against the humanoid sea creatures like an endless wave on the streets of Kuoh.
Rias stubbornly asked for K's help, but Akeno didn't have it.
As she calls K, Akeno flew above ground, assisting Issa, Koneko, Kiba, and Rias.
Calling...
Studmuffin.
"Hello? K's speaking.
"K, get here now!!!" She shoots a spear of Electricity at a massive group of sea creatures, killing them all.
"Where are you?"
"Here at-" A Sea creature throws its spear at Akeno, destroying her phone. Akeno glares at a laughing sea horse.
"Backup is a waste. Forfeit your land to our King!!!"
"That's not happening!" The members shouted.
Akeno unleashes spear after spear-killing a horde of them, but not leaving a dent in their numbers.
Minutes went by.
"Where is this guy?" Issa dodges an axe made of sea stone, panting heavily.
Kiba slices a sea warrior in half.
"Just a little longer!" Rias voiced her clothes wet head to toe.
"We can do this! Rias! Everyone!" Sona, covered in tattered clothing, states.
"AH!" Koneko hits the street. She dodged the blade clashing on the street before kicking her attacker away.
Akeno dodged and weaved spears targeting her.
"Akeno! Behind you!" Issa called out.
A swordfish warrior with draggers flies at Akeno, only for a figure to grab its head and let gravity do its work.
It slams the warrior's head into the street, forming webs of cracks.
The figure disappears once more. Sea warriors around the ORC and Student board members burst into a puddle of blood while afterimages follow.
The figure returned. Standing in the pool of blood and bodies of Sea Warriors, the members took out a while ago.
Those remaining Warriors halt their charge watching Hit stand before ORC and the Student body.
"Turn back." Hit ordered.
"This is our King's land! Land Dweller!" A warrior shouts. "I rather die!"
The warriors clench their weapons harder.
"Then you'll die a warrior's death."
'Finger bullets.'
Hit flicks his thumb from his closed hand releasing bullets of air steamrolling through the Horde.
The Horde continued their charge while Hit took his.
Hit quickly arrives, punching a warrior into bits. Few others followed.
Hit turns on his heels, roundhousing a warrior to oblivion. He punched, dodged, kicked, used the warrior's weapons, and quickly threw bodies into one another.
The Horde continued to surround Hit, but he showed no signs of stopping.
"That dude. A monster." Saji eyed Sona giving the same look. "Should we help him?"
Hit uppercuts before snapping at his blindspot, biting into someone's makeshift blade.
He uses the broken sword in his mouth to cut anyone who grew near before hurling a sneaky warrior onto the ground and stomping his head into a mess.
"He's. Fine." Sona answered while everyone took a breather.
"Everyone fine?" Issa questioned. "Kiba?"
"All good." The swordsman stood with cuts and bruises.
"Just a cut." Akeno noticed Issa's gaze. "But, you should focus on yours." She purrs. Issa looks down to see her black lace bra revealing her C-Cups. "You naughty girl."
"HA! I knew I shouldn't wear it today!" She cried. "Rias!"
Rias remained focused on Hit's fight.
'He fights like he is in a bar fight but makeups of speed and strength. I have my work cut out.'
Hit breakdance killing many squads before standing to his feet.
'Big Bang.'
He claps. Rain, bodies, and blood burst from Hit's air pocket.
The rain stopped.
The horde of Sea Warriors is defeated while Hit stands in the clean street.
Rain starts again, followed by green blood.
Hit looks over his shoulder.
The ORC and Student Body stared in amazement and fear.
"I think you. Did it." Issa dropped her jaw, getting Hit's attention.
Hit approached the members. The ground shook while Hit looked over his shoulder.
"You jinx yourself, girl." A thirteen feet tall humanoid figure of a fish walks down the street with a massive grin plaster on his handsome face as the group is frightened by his height and power radiating off of him.
He stood before Hit and the others. His red robe brushed the ground. His golden crown sparkles while a heart tattoo on his cheek rests beside his unwavering grin.
"So, destroying my army with teamwork and coordinates was impressive. You last long enough for reinforcement. I'll give you an A for your effort."
"Who are you?!" Rias shouts. "What do you want with our land?!"
"You're right. Your team deserved to know who I am. I am The Deep-Sea King, and I aim to take this land and maybe the entire planet when I repopulate my army."
"Hey, Fish stick!!" Issa mouthed. "What's your beef with us anyway?!" The Deep-Sea King chuckles as Issa stands her ground.
"Humans are the weakest of the food chain." The Sea King starts. "Compare to us. They dump trash into my waters, kill my people, and destroy the kingdom I built for so long." His eyes glow, piercing Issa's soul while his blood lust spills into the Environment. Issa and the others, but Hit staggers back by his look.
"If you want to joke about the people I don't care about, it is offensive. I'll rip your body, devour your intestines, and chew your face off as I feed you to the Kraken."
Everyone was paralyzed, fearing the look on his face and the threat he claimed, but somehow Issa stood her ground.
"I won't let you destroy my dream of becoming Harem Queen, Fish sticks!!!"
"Considering your bravery, I might put you in my ranks. You can have all the mermaids you want to wrap around your human finger."
He smiles creepily.
"Are there mermaids with huge Bongos and Dingos?!!!"
"Is that what you mean? Yeah, they are."
"ISSA!!!" Rias shouted.
Issa flinched.
"Sorry, Rias! The guy drives a hard bargain."
"And you." The Sea King gazed at Hit. "You took my army. Something like that is something I will remember."
"I'm missing episode 79 of Magical Garment Girl just by coming out here. Can we hurry it along?"
The Deep-Sea King, Sona, and Risa peerage sweatdrop.
"I like to know who you are. Coming out of nowhere doing that much damage interested me."
"The name, Hit." He puts his hand on his chin while his face is still unseen. "That reminds me, should I eat beef or Crab legs?"
The Deep-Sea King gives a cold glare.
"R-Rias." Rias turns her attention to Issa on her knees. "He was the guy I saw that night."
She turns her gaze at Hit.
"Make all the jokes you want." The Sea King starts his walk. "You're going die like the world. I'm going to rule."
"Get back." Hit looks back at Members.
Hit, and The Sea King walks toward one another before sprinting. They draw their fists back before it clash.
The area around them created an air pocket. The rain pours once more. The two grew in speed and power. The Environment shakes while air bursts rapidly.
"Are you even trying?" The Sea King commented before punching Hit in the gut.
Hit flies from the ground before The Sea King punches him. The Viligante flies over the members crashing down the street.
"Uh. Get up!" Issa commented, only for Hit to remain on the ground. "He's not getting up!"
"Issa, Koneko, and Kiba distract him while Akeno, me, Sona, and Tsubaki provide support. The rest don't you dare die, you hear me!" Rias voice filled the rain.
"Yes, Rias!" They put their plan into action.
Koneko was the first to charge. The Deep-Sea King swipes her away.
Kiba follows up and slashes at him, but he dodges easily and hurls Kiba at Issa.
Sona, Rias shoots a destructive blast at him, and Akeno follows up with an electric spear.
It hits him, and smoke and debris cover the street until it deceased into a horrifying scene in front of them.
The Deep-Sea King's torso was see-through, parts of his face were gone, and the right leg was gone as he stood with one leg.
The Deep-Sea King whimper.
"OK, OK!!! I surrender, I surrender!!!" His limbs regenerated faster than the speed of light as his face grew a massive grin. "For not killing you in the first place."
His walk quickens toward Rias, and the others, paralyzed.
"Rias!" Koneko called, climbing out of debris as Kiba charged behind the Deep-Sea King.
"Aaah!" He leaps at his back, but The Deep-Sea King grabs Kiba's wrist and rapidly slams him into the ground while looking bored.
Kiba slips out of his grip, leaving his sword in the hands of the Deep-Sea King.
He picks his teeth with Kiba's sword as Koneko checks on the battered Kiba on the ground, covered in blood.
"YOU BASTARD, THAT'S KIBA SWORD!!!" Issa sprints toward him as a "boost" is heard in the background. The King turns to Issa with a raised brow.
"Yeah, that's me."
Issa leaps to strike but is countered with a grab as he crashes the life out of Issa.
"AH!!!!"
---
Music plays while K breakdance for change.
"Come on! Come on! He's throwing it down, right?" Danny walks around the crowd, gathered with a cap in hand. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much! Oh? That's for me, little one?"
K spins on his head, getting a cheer from the crowd.
He falls on his feet before pointing to the crowd panting.
"That's my Best friend! Folks! My best friend!" Danny announced while the crowd left after giving their final tips. "K! You did great like ever."
"Yeah?" K took a sip of water, covered in sweat. "Now, show me the money."
He goes to sit down.
"Woah! Woah!" Danny pulled his arm before pulling a stool that wasn't close to K. "You alright?"
"Just. Tired."
"Tired? Dude, your pale."
"It's Day Ten." K looks around the Subway station. "I'll get used to it." K quickly grabs Danny's hat before throwing up into it.
"Ah! Goddamn it. You did this feeling like this!?"
"Not exactly." He continued throwing up.
"Look. I'm taking you home. And your sleeping, yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Sleep it off. Take a day off after that. I don't want to hear your mom."
---
K stares up at the cloudy skies while the rain beats his face. His vision shakes while he grunts.
"Hey. Get up!" Saji appeared in his vision. "They need you out there." K raises to his feet quickly, throwing on his Hood.
Issa screams, alert Hit.
Akeno hurls her spear at The Deep-Sea King's eyes as he lets go of Issa. Koneko hastily carries Issa and Kiba toward Rias and Sona in her arms.
"WHOEVER THREW THAT YOUR DEAD!!!" The Sea King regenerates with bloodshot eyes staring at the horrified group.
He charges his sprint as his legs break the cement underneath and sprint toward the group alarmingly.
The ground shook after each step.
"Slow him down!!!" Sona shouted. Rias, Akeno, Sona, and Tsubaki shoot their energy blast and Electricity at him.
Still, he shrugs it off as his limbs grow back.
Koneko kept her eyes forward, seeing how far she was from Rias and the others.
The weight grew close until she looked to the sky, Only to see the Sea King above her.
His massive foot slowed down, but she knew this could be her last moment.
Hit punches the Sea King's gut causing him to recoil.
The Sea King flies back, crashing onto his back and breaking the street.
Hit shoes, hit the street, his body slouch. His pants are all Koneko heard.
Hit looks back.
"Go." His left eye vessel was busted, showing his red eye. The Sea King broke K's teeth. "Go!"
Koneko contiuned her goal while Hit contiuned his.
"Ok. That." The Deep Sea King rises from the ground showing everyone the hole in his gut, only for it to heal. "Was Better." He stood to his feet. "You're rechallenging me?"
Hit remained walking with proper posture.
"Well, You little ones. Sit this one out, or I'll come over there."
Hit runs toward The Sea King.
'100 percent.'
Hit vanished and reappeared, blowing the Kings head off with a punch that shocked the rain.
The Sea King's arms snapped, choking Hit. His head recovers, Headbutting the vigilante to the ground before kicking him over the Members.
Hit rolls across the ground before recovering. Hit zooms past the members in a blur, causing their clothes to flutter.
"Sona!" Rias command. The girl shields them with a barrier.
The Deep-Sea King growls before he roars—his screams echos the quiet city. Streams burst from him as he grew three times taller and deadlier.
Hit frontflip over the car, grabbing the roof and hurling it at The Sea King drop smile.
The Sea King smacks it away. Hit leaps toward him.
'Serious Series: Con-' The Sea King vanished.
Hit felt his spine rattle before falling to the sky. The Sea King appeared above and sledgehammer him into the ground.
The center of the street became a huge crater destroying buildings surrounding it.
Sea King spits rapidly in the crater, melting debris that hides Hit.
"Come out and die!" The Sea King roared, scanning the melting mess.
The ground behind The Deep Sea King burst. He snapped, only for his eyes to widen.
K fist drives like a bus while his face only grows with intensity.
The hit landed into the King's heart while the air thundered.
K's Jacket and hoodie tattered, revealing his godly physique.
The Sea King stumbles back wide-eyed.
'Did he?' The King falls onto his back with a thud.
Battle-damaged K stood to his feet before flipping his Hood over his head.
He falls face-first to the ground.
Akeno flies, only for Rias to grab her arm. She looked back to see Rias study them. She lets go.
Akeno flies toward K.
"He. Did it." Tsubaki said in disbelief.
"He did." Koneko voiced, sitting with the wounded Issa and Kiba.
"Let's not delay." Rias voiced. "Sona?"
"We'll. Take it from here." Sona answered back.
Without their notice, Raynare hovered above them, watching Rias members use a teleportation circle with K in Akeno's arms.
...
Akeno tends to K's wounds in the club room by applying something to him.
"He's Hit?!" Issa shouts, covered in bandages while clenching her chest.
"Yes. Issa." Rias confirmed.
"He left me to die!"
"You don't know that."
"I've seen it with my own eyes! How can you tell me I didn't see it? He had Raynare and everything!" She looks at K on the couch.
"Wait? Raynare?" Kiba adds.
"Yeah. How do we know K's doing all this to get close to us."
Everyone in the room stared silently at K.
---
His face grew close to his reflection before pushing off it in a hospital gown.
"Hundred." K stands to his feet, swinging his arms before putting them behind his head.
His eyes wandered to the door.
He quickly changes the thermostat back to cool before hopping in bed.
The door opens.
"Sweat. Jesus! Are you ok?" Danny approached K's bed.
"I'm fine."
"You talked to your parents?"
"Yeah. Video call."
"You got to be fucking kidding me."
"What?"
"You're working out again! The Iv is not on you!"
"I went to the bathroom."
"Cut the shit, K!"
"Look. I'm half a month away from getting to a year. This Training is easy now."
"Heart attack! A Heart attack! Are you listening to yourself?"
"It's a mirror setback. Look, I'll rest so I can get out of here."
Danny approaches a phone across the room.
"What are you doing?" K squinted his eyes. Danny remained silent. "Danny."
"Hey. Nurse, I'll like to put my friend on suicide watch."
"You motherfucker!" K jumps out of his bed, causing the heart monitor to flare.
--
K jumps lightly with a grunt. He noticed he was in bed in his room.
A Mini bible rests on his dresser.
Bandages covered him head to toe while he rose from bed with a hiss.
He entered the bathroom seeing himself. His left red eye takes up the look while bandaids and a pad rest on his face.
K flashes his teeth.
'Crap, that still hurts.'
The boy opened the cabinet before taking painkillers. He looks in the mirror.
"K?" Miko voiced. "K?!"
The boy threw the door open to Miko and Asia.
"What are you doing up?!" Miko grasped his arm.
"I'm fine."
"Stop! Saying that." She dragged him through the hallway while Asia remained behind K. "You think you can sleep this off?"
"That's how my body works."
"Yes. But this takes time." Asia answered. "You will only hurt yourself more. Please, you need to rest."
They put K to bed.
The boy sighs.
"You can heal him?" Miko turned to Asia.
"Yes. But It takes time." She hovers her hand over K before shutting her eyes.
A green light emits from her hands, causing K to raise his head.
"This requires K not to move much." Miko pushes K's head back to his pillow. "Ms.Miko. K is in good hands. You also need rest."
Miko's baggy eyes stared at K's.
"Don't worry. K will be here When you wake up." Asia looks over her shoulder with a smile. "I'm sure of it."
"Ok. Don't give her any sass and listen to what she says." Miko lecture.
"Alright."
Miko leaves the room while K closes his eyes.
"How long is this going to be?" He questioned.
"Well. About thirty. Tell me, how did you get this?"
"Uh. Playing sports with a few friends that end up being a fist fight."
"Ah. That's terrible."
"We hug it out afterward. We must release our stress somehow."
"What is making you feel this way?"
K remained silent.
"Everything."
"Do you know how I release my stress?"
"No."
"I tend to my plants." She said softly. K's eyes land on her. "I know it seems boring to you, but I like watching them grow. All my faith and hard work goes into each one, so When I wake up. They can be the first I lay my eyes on."
'I think I'm in love.'
Asia blushes.
"AH! Please don't say such things!"
'I SAID IT OUT LOUD?!'
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it."
"You didn't mean it?"
"No! No. I mean." He scratches his cheek. "This is a little fast, but uh. I will buy more seeds to add to our garden, and I want your experience."
Asia stops what she's doing before shifting in K's bed.
"I-I think I'll like that." Her gentle green eyes avoid K's.
K clears his throat before nodding.
Asia continued healing K.
...
'Holy shit.'
K is currently standing in his room. He grips his hand, feeling a new wave of strength embedded into him. He touches his teeth.
It felt normal.
"How do you feel?" Asia asked.
"You're amazing. You are truly a gift from god."
Asia looks away, her breath shaking.
"Asia?"
"I'm good." She walks out of the room.
"Asia. Wait." He followed her down the hall. "What did I say?"
"Don't worry about me."
"Hold on." K closes the door. "You have a phone?"
Asia kept her gaze on the floor. She shakes her head.
"Wait here." K returns with a strip of paper. "Here."
Her watery eyes look up at the paper before taking it.
"If you need me. Give me a call. And drop by anytime." He opens the door as Asia bows before taking her leave.
He watched her exit their front walkway wiping her eyes.
K closes the door shut.
