Take Care Of You (pt 3)
When your condition stabled, you were discharged from the hospital with a two month paid leave from the CCG. Though that sounded great, you feared the voice I'm your head, making sure to keep yourself occupied as much as possible so as to distract yourself.
--
While recovering in the hospital, you'd managed to learn how to use your new arm. You found out that the ghoul who attacked you during the battle against the One Eyed Ghoul, had eaten the flesh off your arm while you were unconscious. Your colleagues said that they'd witnessed what was probably the most gruesome kill in all of CCG history while Arima murdered the ghoul. After he was done, your attacker became nothing but a lump of unrecognizable flesh.
--
Returning home was surreal after staying in the hospital for so long. Arima decided to take a week off to help settle you in, though if anything important came up he'd have to report for duty, but other than that he could spend all his time with you.
He did all the housework, cooked your meals, made sure you were asleep before he was, combed your hair and a bunch of rather unnecessary stuff. It was amusing but you got worried after he offered to help you with putting a book back onto the book shelf.
"Kishou," you said one night as the two of you laid in bed, "you don't have to worry so much about me, you know? I'm getting better everyday."
"I know... I just..." He replied, voice shaking a little, "when I saw what the ghoul was doing to you, I swore to myself that nothing, bad can ever happen to your again, no matter what..."
You smiled gratefully as you wrapped your arms around his waist, snuggling up against him, "I know you mean well but I can't rely on your for everything I do, can I?-"
"Actually, you-" he began but you cut him off by pressing your finger against his mouth.
"Shush child, I'm speaking," you said, "anyways," you took your finger away from a speechless Arima, "where was I? Oh yes. I'm bound to get injured anytime but that doesn't mean you have to shield me from everything in the world. Besides, I'm not that weak... I lost my arm to that ghoul but I've defeated so many other before..."
He didn't reply, seeming to be in deep thought. Thinking that he wasn't going to say anything, you closed your eyes only to open them again a minute afterwards.
"(Y/N)?"
"Hmm?"
"What would you do if I died one day?"
You were surprised, "Why're you suddenly asking me that?" You laughed awkwardly, "I'll probably just... Heck, I don't know... Join you?"
