A young girl woke up by the sun shining its’ ray perfectly in her blue eyes. A yawn escaped her mouth as she tried raising her body to check the clock on the wall. [7:00 am sharp it seems], the girl let out a smile as she managed to wake up by herself even without needing an alarm.
She tried her best standing up from the bed without making a lot of noise, before leaving the bedroom she peeked at the bed and saw a 20-year-old male sleeping soundly in his dreams. But she was a little worried, did it seem like he had a small frown on his face? She didn’t want to think about it anymore and went outside the bedroom and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two.
[Now.. Now.. what should I make for this morning? Eggs with French toast? Hmm no, perhaps, pancakes! Yes, I’ll make pancakes!] A smile showed on the girl’s face again when she found out what to make.
After the girl made six pancakes, she sat down on the chair beside the kitchen table. [Everything seems to have been prepared and it only took me a little over half an hour] she took a quick look at the clock mounted on the wall and saw it just took her 35 minutes. [I’ll wake him up when its 8 am as usual]. She stood up, walked to the shelf and picked up a random book. The girl just flipped open the book and just read on the couch to pass time.
A few minutes later a loud scream resounded throughout the whole house. [AHHH!!! NO! PLEASE DON’T!! NOOO!!!] The girl jumped up like electricity just went through her, she ran toward the bedroom while the screaming was still going on [NOO AHH!! PLEASE DON’T DO IT!!]
The girl slammed open the door and saw that the youth in the bed was sweating and screaming, but he was barely moving even with those screams. His eyes were full of tears and depression. The girl hurriedly rushed to his side and grabbed his hand, she looked into his eyes while he was trying his best to look at the girl. [Pluto, please don’t worry, I’m already here now] She was on the brink of crying, even after trying to hold her tears back, the tears were starting to run down from her eyes and dripping down on Pluto’s face
Pluto’s screaming settled down after he understood where he was, he was in his bedroom and someone was holding his hand. He finally understood that it was only a nightmare, a horrible nightmare. Pluto stopped screaming and looked at the girl in front of him. Pluto was sad, not because of his nightmare. Pluto was sad because he made her worried.
Pluto tried his best to calm himself down and looked at the girl in front of him, even after everything, he let out a tiny smile. [Aria, I’m sorry, I seemed to have gotten a nightmare again] Pluto tried his best to keep his smile, but whenever he thought of the nightmare he had, he started trembling. This didn’t escape the notice of Aria at all.
“Did he have that nightmare again?” Aria was feeling extremely sad, she didn’t know what to do. Aria looked at Pluto and tried her best to think of a way to make him happy. “Why did everything bad happen to him? What has he ever done to anyone? Why couldn’t it have been someone else, but him?” Aria thought to herself while looking at Pluto trembling. She couldn’t bear it anymore hugged him. Both stayed like that for a while before Aria let go of Pluto and looked again at him, while Pluto was looking at Aria.
[Aria, thank you]. That was all which came out from his mouth, Pluto looked again at Aria. He was very happy that there was someone who cared about him, but he was also sad because of it. “Why does she not want to live her own life? Why does she want to stay by my side? A horrible excuse of a human being”.
Aria looked at Pluto was has finally calmed down, she grabbed his arm and said in a soft voice [Pluto, I have already prepared breakfast. Let’s go and eat] Aria tried to maintain the sweetest smile she possibly could and looked at Pluto.
Pluto looked at her for a moment and nodded to her. Aria slowly helped Pluto up and held his upper body so he could use her as support. Pluto finally stood up and slowly tried walking forward while using Aria as support. Even now, he was aware that Aria was well lower than him, he himself was around 1,80 meter while Aria was 1,65 meter. While thinking about trivial things, they arrived in the kitchen.
On the table, there were two stacks of pancakes which had three pancakes each. He smiled as he truly liked to eat pancakes in the morning. Aria helped him sit down slowly on his chair while she pulled the other chair closer to his. After Pluto sat down, he started breathing heavily. Even walking from the bedroom to the kitchen which was less than 20 meters was very difficult for him.
Aria used the knife and fork to cut the pancakes in eatable sizes, she did that to her own stack of pancakes and Pluto’s. Aria looked at Pluto’s face which was staring at the pancakes, she giggled a little and Aria put up a bright smile which came from her heart. Aria used the fork to stab the pancakes and lifted it. Pluto who was watching this gulped as he was waiting for this. Aria slowly moved the fork closer to her own mouth and saw that Pluto was staring at her and the pancakes with a puppy face. Aria couldn’t keep it in anymore and laughed [Hahaha] and shoved the fork with the piece of pancake on it toward Pluto. Pluto himself happily opened his mouth and took the piece of pancake off the fork.

[It’s delicious!] Pluto tried to comment while trying to eat the pancake. His eyes were shining brightly. Meanwhile Aria looked at Pluto’s eyes and went into a daze “His eyes are truly good looking”. Pluto’s pupils were pitch black, it was dark like the night. Even so, they were shining brightly like the stars. Aria slowly but steadily fed Pluto and ate her own pancakes over the one hour period they used to eat their breakfast.
[You just rest here for a while Pluto, I’ll wash the dishes before we go out to the hospital] Aria said and picked up the dishes they used and went to the kitchen to wash them. While Aria was doing this, Pluto had complexed feelings, he didn’t want to go to the hospital, it never brought any good news. “Why is my body so useless?” he looked down on his body, he looked at his legs, hips, arms and chest. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes “It will never get better, will it?” Pluto asked himself a question, but he couldn’t answer it. Pluto’s eyelids slowly opened, it was easily shown what he felt, Pluto was depressed. He looked toward the kitchen, suddenly it looked like he already felt motivated again. Pluto breathed in and out a couple times so he could calm himself down.
After a few minutes, Aria finished washing the dishes and walked out to the living room where Pluto was sitting down on the bed. Before Aria went down to sit beside him, she looked at Pluto for a couple of seconds. She loved his silver hair, Pluto’s natural hair was silver. His parents both had brown hair, but he himself was born with silver hair. His hair wasn’t short, nor long, it had the length of couple of centimetres. After a few moments, Aria collected her thoughts and sat down beside Pluto, neither one of them said a word. Pluto’s left hand which was closest to Aria, slightly moved and tried to grab Aria’s hand. Even as Pluto tried to move it, his hand barely moved and he was struggling. Aria which caught it in the side of her eyes let out a smile and grabbed his hand and held it with both her hands. While they held hands, they didn’t speak, both Pluto and Aria had a slight smile on their face as they were thinking about each other.
Before long, Aria opened her mouth and said [Pluto, are you ready to visit the hospital?] Pluto who heard this clearly, nodded his head and said back [Yes, I am. When is the taxi picking us up?] Pluto didn’t want to show signs that he was unwilling to go there. [The taxi is picking us up in an hour, you want to get dressed now?] Pluto nodded and waited for Aria to help him lift him up. Aria which stood up, grabbed under both his arms and lifted him up to his feet and then took his arm over her shoulder so he could use her as support. [You know Aria, you could always use the wheelchair, you don’t have to push yourself like that]. Aria which heard this shook her head and spoke [I don’t want you to use it unless it’s necessary, I can clearly still support you walking here and there at home. So, don’t worry about anything and let’s focus on walking towards the bedroom]
They walked slowly towards the bedroom, the steps were short. Pluto’s body was burning in pain, but he gritted his teeth and continued to walk. The bedroom door was open so they just walked in, Aria walked Pluto to the bed and slowly let him down to sit. [Haa haa haa] Pluto’s breathing was loud and heavy. [Pluto, what do you want to wear today?] Aria asked while walking to the wardrobe. [Won’t the usual clothing work? Jeans, t-shirt and my coat] Pluto asked back and decided on what to wear in a vague answer. Aria nodded and opened the wardrobe and picked blue jeans, a black t-shirt and grabbed his dark coat.
[Alrighty Pluto, let’s change your clothes. Just be patient with me and I’ll be finished soon enough] Aria turned over to Pluto with a grin on her face. Pluto which saw this couldn’t do anything else than nod his head and be scared and yelling in his own mind “Why are you always looking that crazy when you’re changing my clothes?!” Pluto wanted to laugh but ended up not doing so because he didn’t want Aria to do anything strange.
[Well well, you do look handsome] Aria commented Pluto’s new look after changing his clothes, she was nodding repeatedly. Pluto rolled his eyes and replied [Aren’t you going to change clothes?]. Aria was stunned and looked down on her clothes, she hurriedly went to the wardrobe and picked the first thing she saw. Aria undressed what she was wearing so she could change clothes. The moment Aria started to undress, Pluto calmly shut his eyes and thought “How careless can she be?”. [I’m done, you can open your eyes now] Aria spoke out. Pluto opened his eyes and saw the beautiful girl, she was wearing a purple skirt with a white t-shirt. It perfectly fit her blue eyes and crimson red hair. “She’s so beautiful”
[You’re staring again, haha] Aria giggled when she noticed that Pluto was staring at her. [I’ll bring your wheelchair, the taxi is supposed to arrive soon, let’s wait for it] Aria walked to the other room and returned with his wheelchair. Pluto sighed when he saw it. But, he accepted that he can’t walk. Aria helped Pluto to his wheelchair and she went behind him and started pushing him slowly outside.
[At least the weather isn’t that bad today] Aria commented on the weather, Pluto which were looking downwards nodded his head and replied with [It’s not bad]. They stopped talking and patiently waited for the taxi to arrive. The taxi arrived and a middle-aged man came out from the vehicle [Hello, are you Aria and Pluto? I have gotten a request to bring you to the hospital] [Yes that’s us, can you help me get Pluto in the taxi and put the wheelchair in the back?] Aria nodded her head and asked the middle-aged. [Yes I can, no problem]. The middle-aged man picked up Pluto and sat him down in the vehicle, he folded the wheelchair and put it in the back and went back to the vehicle. [Are you both ready to go?] the middle-aged man asked. Aria who was already inside the taxi and seated beside Pluto nodded her head. [Don’t worry Pluto, maybe we will get good news today] Aria grabbed Pluto’s left hand calmly spoke. Pluto didn’t say anything but slowly nodded after some time.
