Y- Yes...
[ it's not everyday that she thinks about what would happen if merlin went away—if her happiness went away, but him saying something like that suddenly reminds her of the thought. which is why she's slow in feeding him all of a sudden, but she's trying very hard to smile. ]
Me too. Me too.

[ He definitely doesn't have the same abilities she does, but Athena is a lot more open with her emotions so it's easy to see when some of her brightness looks like it fades a bit. He shifts slightly while waiting for her, though he doesn't ask her anything until he's taken that piece and chewed and swallowed. ]
What is it?
What is it?
[ she shakes her head slowly as she laughs amiably. ]
It's nothing. Just... still worried [ about something else, but it counts, right? ], that's all.

[ Well at least she's saying something. Still... ]
You really don't need to be. [ But-- ] When I've finished this I'll be much better, so you can stop doing it, alright?
[ Only it isn't the same thing :( ]

Right.
[ it's like athena's the sick one in this conversation, smh. sorry, merlin. she nods, though, fully understanding what he said. ]
Eat up? [ have some more spaghetti! and this time, with a kiss on the cheek, too. ]

[ It really is, his head hurts.......... but at least his kokoro doesn't. ]
I'm eating. [ While smiling and laughing apparently, because even if his head is pounding, it's nice to be like this. There probably isn't much spaghetti left, but she also brought soup, didn't she? ]

[ as a note, she isn't going to feed him the soup. he's old enough to do it himself. :T ]
All done.
[ she even gets up now. ]
I'll go wash the plate.

[ Fine, fine!! Take out all the fun of it why don't you!!
It's fine though, because while she does that he can finish off the soup. ]
Everything is by the sink, and you can just leave it to dry. You're already doing enough.
[ Especially when this was self induced... imagine if he ever actually got sick... amazing. ]

Alright. I'll be back, then.
[ not like she's going anywhere far, but yes!! to the kitchen she goes to wash the plate, and she comes back maybe five minutes later after exploring the rest of the apartment... ]
So, do you help in cleaning up the place? It's so tidy.

[ He's just about done with the soup when she comes back, and when she says that he looks at her as if to say "Don't you remember what I told you before" ]
I have to, at least so Shigeru doesn't rub his hands raw with cleaning products.

[ she does remember, but it's still weird to her because his room seems so... different from the apartment itself. ]
It's insane how clean the outside of your room is.
[ the outside. ]

[ the outside. ]
[ He... actually chokes on the last mouthful of his soup at that, giving her a look. ] It's clean I just... wasn't exactly expecting a visitor, was I?
I wasn't feeling at my best this morning when I changed.
[ That's why his clothes are on the floor. The book... well, because that's what smacked him. ]

You don't have to get so defensive about it.
[ but she takes a seat next to him again and opens the box of macarons. endorphins make people happy, okay! this will definitely cheer her up, if anything. ]
Can I take one now?

[ He pushes the bowl onto the tray then, taking a sip of juice and this time he shifts so she can sit back down.
Though, just to see if it'll fluster her, he says: ] Only if I can feed it to you.
[ :) ]

[ this jerk

her response is a quick and resounding-- ] No!

[ Ow?!
His hand shoots right up to his ear, covering it as he winces. ]
You didn't need to yell.

[ yes you did, athena... but whatever. she's grabbing a vanilla macaron and taking a small bite out of it. ]

[ Okay, nope. Nope Nope. He's just going to cover both ears and flop over onto his front, burying his face into the bed instead.
Stop yelling!!! ]
Stop yelling!!! ]
[ maybe that's what you get for worrying her, you loser. :T
but she has compassion, at least. her voice is softer now as she speaks. ]
Sorry. I forgot.

[ Look!! He didn't know! Or well, remember...
Though his ears are still covered so he doesn't exactly hear that either. At least after a minute or two he glances back to see if she's still yelling, slowly lowering his hands when it's apparent she isn't now. ]

[ nope, she's just staring at him now while biting on her macaron 'u' ]
[ ... His head just flops onto his arm then, eyes sliding partly shut. ]
Does it taste good?
Does it taste good?
Of course, it does.
[ she puts her half-bitten one by his mouth. take a bite? ]

[ He glances up at her then, twisting more onto his side as his hand moves to form a cup under her hand and the macaron so it doesn't get on the bed. He bites at the corner, only taking a small amount, but given that it's the corner she'll also feel his mouth drag over her hand a little by accident.
Slowly, he leans back to chew, softly adding after: ] That does taste good.
