The Start Of A Bond.


It's so hot in here...

The redhead's hands feeling mildly clammy and her vision blurring ever so slightly as she reads the paperwork splayed out before her, bits of her tousled hair sticking to her forehead as she sweats profusely, her stomach feeling as if it were turning.

Why is it so hot?

"Oi!" Lotte's call echoing throughout the apartment as the brunette comes rushing out of her room, stopping beside the dining table where her roommate sits and waving a small slip of paper in her face.

Kyo's half-lidded eyes feeling rather sore as they flicker up to the material before Lotte drops it down on the table. "Do you know what this is?" Despite the brashness in her tone, she does seem genuinely curious. "I found it in my bra this morning!"

The redhead trying her best to read it only to see that it isn't a note, it's has long number written across it but nothing else, silently counting each digit before her gaze returns to the brunette. "It looks like a phone number to me, possibly belonging to Eustass Kid." Her foggy mind recalling how the brutish male tucked some paper into the girl's cleavage during the party, she'd assume this is that paper.

"Eustass Kid? You mean the hot Scottish guy?" That question stumping her a little, she hasn't exactly spoken to Kid before and when she has heard him speak, she hasn't paid much attention to his accent or speech patterns. 

A low hum rumbling in her lips before she tries to elaborate. "Yeah, I suppose. He has red hair, make-up, a temper..." Of course she only gains herself a cheeky smile in return.

"Are you talking about him or yourself?"

"My temper is non-existent compared to Eustass Kid's." She softly jests, her hand instinctively clutching at her stomach while it turns, still attempting to remain stone-faced as she speaks to her friend. "I tend not to attack the furniture when I'm frustrated."

She had heard that the boy once threw a chair at one of his classmate's back in high school, apparently all the guy did to warrant that was merely look at him. 

"Hm...you think I should call him?" That question immediately stumping Kyo, her eyes widening ever so slightly as her mouth falls agape, the expression seeming to amuse Lotte however. "Ha, you look like you've seen a ghost~!"

A comment that immediately causes the redhead to force an indifferent approach, a small droplet of sweat rolling down the side of her face as she releases a small sigh, trying to push the unpleasant sensations away as she responds. "You seemed like you were getting along well during the party, if you like his company then what's stopping you?"

"Huh...yeah, I guess." The brunette's voice notably softening as deep thought kicks in, though her expression soon sours as she snatches the piece of paper up again with a frown. "But he shoved it in my bra like some kind of pervert, that'll be the first thing I address!" It takes mere moments for her to begin typing on her phone, seemingly sending an angry text to the male in question although miraculously, she still manages to speak about something completely unrelated while she writes the message. "So, since my cousin asked if you avoid eating often, I'd assume it's safe to say he was the guy you made yourself look all nice for earlier~?"

Those words striking like thunder and causing a wave of anxiety to wash over the redhead as well as the sickly feeling, the girl desperately trying to keep her composure, if she were to vomit right now it would seem extremely insulting to Law after all. 

Please...

"Don't worry, a lot of girls have liked him over the years," And just like that the feeling grows worse, the redhead's spine slowly beginning to fail her as she slumps against the table slightly, her hand trembling as it grips onto the edge of the wooden surface. "Though he doesn't usually give them the time of day so you must be an interesting case~!"

"Lotte--"

"It's cool, I'm not gonna flame you or anything, Law's a big boy and can take care of himself." The brunette's orbs finally setting back on her roomie while she slips her phone back into her pocket, an encouraging smile spreading across her lips. "You don't seem like the type to lead him on--! Hey, are you okay?"

Any attempts to answer completely go out of the window as the redhead shoots up from her seat, attempting to make her way into the bathroom but she left it far too late, her stomach finally rejecting the sundae that she had eaten earlier as well as a little biscuit she consumed once returning home and sending it all back up through her mouth. Her face burning due to both illness and embarrassment as she wretches again, more vomit spraying across the floor, good job it's not a carpet at the least.

Impulsively, she shrugs Lotte's touch away when the brunette tries to support her by resting a hand against her back however, the girl struggling to breathe as the unpleasant sensation slowly subsides, her orbs meeting her new friend's as she attempts a polite tone. 

"I will clean this up--"

"You'll lay the fuck down!" The brunette instantly barks, trying to support the roommate once again but by grabbing her arms this time instead and guiding her toward her bedroom. "You just wretched your guts up and your first response is; 'I'll clean it'? Are you some kind of machine or something?!"

 The girl wasting no time in pushing the redhead down on the bed, not that she looks at all impressed by the action naturally, a frown etched into her features and a thin sheet of sweat still very-much covering her face while Lotte sighs. 

"I'll get you some water and call Law--"

"I'd rather you not, please." Kyo mutters, taking a breath while resting her face in her hands, holding it for a moment before letting it go. "It's not exactly the most attractive sight."

"He's a doctor!"

"A heart doctor!"

"Oh~? So he's told you all about his job, has he~?" The brunette naturally earning herself a cold glare in return, which makes her giggle but she does change the subject nonetheless. "Sorry, bad timing, I'll go get the water!"

And with that she rushes into the kitchen, leaving Kyo to try and focus on her breathing while she lays down on the bed, her vision still slightly hazy and the room seemingly spinning as she tries to steady her irregular breaths. 

How dramatic. All this over a bit of stress.

Lotte soon returning with a drink as well as a wet cloth, setting the glass down beside the bed while her hand rests on her hip, her stern stare glued to the girl, clearly urging her to drink the liquid - and right this minute at that. 

Not that the redhead would argue given the circumstances, it might cool her off a little after all, leaning forward briefly to take a sip of the beverage before she slumps back down. 

"I still think you should let me call Law, he's qualified to take care of more than just heart surgeries, you know." The brunette pushes once again as she folds the cloth before resting it against her friend's forehead. 

"I look like shit and smell like puke." Kyo's response seeming to stun Lotte ever so slightly, possibly because it's the first time she has heard the girl swear. "It's fine, it happens sometimes, it'll pass."

Why is she being so nice to me?

"Hmph...I don't like it. You better not die on me." A little chime resounding in the room as Lotte takes out her phone, a frown still etched into her features as her eyes lock onto the screen. "Huh, Eustass is bold. He just had the gull to invite me out for drinks tomorrow." The little pout on the girl's face drawing a weak chuckle from Kyo's lips. 

"Really? Will you go?" 

"I might, if he apologizes for being a pervert." That response causing the redhead to giggle once again, her body still feeling too flimsy to move so getting back to work is out of the question, although chatting with Lotte doesn't seem like a bad pass-time, her fingers already beginning to tap away on the screen, a small smile spreading across her lips. 

Do I look like that when I speak to Trafalgar?

"Well, have a good time and make sure he doesn't take advantage..."

"Ha, please! I'll be the one taking advantage of him, a man is always expected to buy the drinks, after all." Lotte's confidence is quite refreshing compared to other people's, she's calm but also energetic and it has a way of radiating, bringing other people's spirits up along with her own. "Did Law not pay for your lunch? No wonder why you threw up at the mere thought of him!"

"Heh, no-no, he was a gentleman..."
