The Doe-7

Soon the sounds of rain hitting the stone roof echoed into the house, it sounded very heavy and it started making me feel like I was going to throw up.

"W-Will." I say sitting up on my knees.

"Y-yes? What is it?" He said looking at my direction without me saying anything he quickly grabs a bucket and hands it to me.

I laugh bitterly.

"Do I look like I'm going to throw up?" I said taking it setting my chin on the edge waiting for the metal taste.

"Yeah, you are very pale." He says going behind me, a awkward hand touches my back, I flinch not expecting the touch. The hand quickly retreats leaving me confused as to what he was doing.

(Is he trying to comfort me? How cute, he really is the sweetest thing…)

A metallic taste fills my mouth I close my eyes tight as bile starts rising in my throat.

Will quickly yet shakily grabs my hair out of my face as I start puking.

"Y-your gonna be okay, it's alright." Will repeat every time my puking paused, I would have a few seconds before I was back dry heaving into the bucket.

After a while of leaning over the puking feeling left, a nasty taste clung to my mouth.

Will gently took the bucket away and nervously helped me lean against the wall again.

He shakily put his hand to my forehead.

"Y-you don't really feel feverish… did you eat something bad or something."

I thought for a moment, I didn't like seeing people worry. I haven't know Will all to long, but I suspected he worries a lot on a normal day.

I sighed and looked at his face, if he found out what was really going on…would he betray me…

"Will… I-I'm trusting this with you…"

I grab his hand, his body stiffens and his face reddens, he looked a bit uncomfortable but left my hand on his.

"T-trusting m-me w-with what?"

I look at him my head starting to ache a bit.

"This sickness Will it didn't come from food, or pregnancy or anything normal in this world…"

He looks at me in confusion, and opens his mouth.

"A-are you cursed?"

"No, Will I'm not cursed. This sickness is the cause from a addiction I have to a substance in a different world."

Will silently listens, occasionally looking at my hand.

"Being away from this substance causes sickness and cravings even emotional stress…" Will looks at me and shakily grabs my hand with both of his.

"S-so this thing is making you sick, a-and if you get it it will m-make you feel better? I'll get it for you just tell me how, I-I don't care if it's hard to get if it'll make it better I'll help."

I smile softly at Will, he had a very kind heart.

"I'm afraid I don't know where to find it in this world, I'm telling you this because the sickness gets better with time. I don't like seeing people worry Will."

"H-how long will it take for you to feel better?" He asked looking at me with kind eyes.

"I think some people said 3 to 2 weeks but I'm not sure I never really tried to stop." I looked away with slight shame, it overall probably sounded stupid to him…

Why do stuff that will cause pain, or discomfort when you try to stop. He didn't see my side of things, the stuff I was dealing with. Cigarettes were my only relief. It was something I had control over, or so I thought…

"T-The li- Roy I mean… He is getting exiled in two days, are you going with him?"

My eyes widened slightly, I didn't know I was getting a choice. This tribe seemed like wonderful people once you get to really know them but…. I… what if I really couldn't get home? What was I going to do? Where was I going to go?

I couldn't cling to Roy for the rest of my life, but I had gotten him kicked out. All he was trying to do was help me, by my duty I should go with him, yes I wouldn't be any help but…

He was heading to the Deer Tribe because he thought I was from there. He was really doing it out of kindness…

I took a deep breath in and looked at Will.

"I'm…I think I'm going to go to the Deer Tribe with Roy, I don't really know what I'm going to do after that. I may just stay there."

There was a awkward silence that filled the room and for a while neither of us said anything, Will's warmth from his hand radiated into mine.

Will plucked up the courage and looked me in the eyes, his face once again red.

"W-would you mind if I came with y-you?"

He pleaded his eyes warm with sincerity.

"Huh?" My eyes rounded and my face slight heated, surely he doesn't mean it in the way I took it… We haven't known each other long surely he just wants to get away from this tribe.

"I-I-I know we don't know each other w-well… b-b-b-but I want to go w-with you."

My face got redder I looked away.

"I-I don't mind it, you'll have to ask Roy…."

I shyly looked back at Will his face lit up into a cheerful smile, it was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen.

Yet he was so shy, I felt bad for him maybe he didn't see himself as handsome…

I returned a smile of my own, Will gently let go of my hand.

"W-well uh, I'll go dump this bucket and get you some water to rinse your mouth,"

I felt bad for him having to go take my throw up out, I reached out and grabbed his bag.

He felt the tug as he was getting up and he tilted his head.

"I can go take out the puke…"

He patted my head awkwardly and stood up.

"Y-your still feeling bad I got it."

"But I feel bad, I know you really don't want to do it…"

"Eh? N-no I don't mind at all…"

•WILL'S POV•

"Are you sure?" She looked up at me in concern, her eyes crystal blue I felt like if I looked close enough I could see clouds in them.

I couldn't exactly tell her the reason I was doing this is because I just wanted to be near her… I mean I could but, it would make things more awkward then they already are.

I hated I couldn't act like most males, most males would grab at the chance to have her as their spouse. They wouldn't hide their intentions, but when I genuinely like a female I'm to nervous to say anything to her.

I looked at her and faked a smile, my mood was getting lower.

"Y-yeah I'm sure, I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay…"

I walked out of the house rain hit my head and my shoulders hard, I wondered how in the world Roy was going to get something in this weather.

I sighed and went into the woods dumping out the throw up. I went down to the small creek and rinsed out the bucket throughly.

I shook my head getting the rain water out of my eyes and put the bucket back on the bank.

I dug around in my bag until I found a drinking bowl.

I filled it with fresh water and went back to Roy's house.

I removed the wooden panel from the entrance when I looked to the area she was at her gaze was on me.

She gave a sweet smile and tilted her head.

I put down the puke bucket at the edge of the nest and handed her the water bowl gently.

She took fragile sips and the pushed the water bowl back into my hands.

She softly put a hand on her stomach.

"If I drink to much I'll puke again." She said a slight uncomfortable look crossed her face.

"D-do you want to lay back down?" I commented she glanced at me and slightly nodded.

I shakily put my hand on her back as I helped her ease down. Careful as to not scare her again, my mind went back to when I tried to rub her back to make her feel better and she flinched away from me… When she got into a comfortable position I grabbed the pelts that were scattered everywhere from where she had been moving around.

I slowly put the pelts over her anxiety gripping my heart.

"Will?"

"Y-yeah?"

"Thank you." She said her eyes stared at me as fatigue gripped at them.

I sighed and gave a small smile.

"Any thing for you M-Maria…"

A faint smile graced her lips as her eyes shut and a deep sleep gripped her figure.
