A Trip to The Pharmacy [OPEN]

Genji watched Abel walk towards the door with his medicine and Genji started to follow. He didn't expect Abel to turn to him and tell him that he was praising him... Oh. Yeah... Genji wasn't the smartest person in the world. He was known for his hard work, not his brains. His brains needed a lot of work, so it was understandable that he didn't understand something. His heart was in the right place, though.

He would listen to the explanation. Genji felt better that his help was appreciated, but he did feel kind of embarrassed for being kind of dumb about it. He wouldn't try to save face, he wasn't that kind of person. He didn't make excuses for his dumbness. But he did want to say something to Abel, though. It went something like this, "Thanks, I'm sorry for misunderstanding. But I'm happy that you aren't angry with me, after all. For what I think about you, I can't say that I feel bad for you or actually dislike you. I don't know what you have, but it's not going to change how I treat you. You were someone in trouble, I helped you out. That's all there is to it. I'm not going to baby you because you have something, either. You seem to really be able to take care of yourself."

Genji was happy that he didn't baby Abel like others. He helped out everyone. If he babied one person, he would baby them all, that's what he was like. Genji waited to see what Abel was doing, he wanted to make sure that he would get home safe. "Hey, where do you live? I could walk you home if you need me to."

"It's fine... I do realize I'm a bit... Aggressive... In the way I express myself...", Abel replied as he let go of Genji to stay on his feet now that he felt somewhat better. To be honest, it was good to hear that Genji believed he could take care of himself, but the he chose not to comment on it at all simply because he knew he wouldn't be able to hold himself from saying certain words...

'Shame that won't last for long', he thought, as a shadow of dread covered his expression.

"I live in the Kizuna Academy dorms... And it won't be necessary for you to help me get there... I'm better now..."

That wasn't entirely true. He may be feeling better than before, but he was still weak... However, he didn't Genji to help him anymore... He... Wanted to get there alone... If they saw him being helped, questions would arise and it wouldn't be long until the truth was found out... Especially now that he was quite famous... What meant that there was a last matter to be taken care of before he left...

"Genji... Can you do me one last favour?", he asked, "I want you... To keep what happened here today secret, alright?", he said, showing his concern about the subject through his serious expression.

"Anyways... I'll be leaving now... Truly... Thanks for everything...", said Abel as he turned and left slowly walking, supporting himself on the wall ease the effort he forced himself to realize.
