Note to self: Do NOT read on the rooftop in the middle of the day and stay there for hours. It's a bad thing

Take a pain reliever. That'll help the sunburn. Also when you get the aloe gel put it in the refrigerator for an hour or so. It feels a lot better when you put it on the burn.

I'm afraid I've taken as much pain reliever as I can for now, but I didn't think about the aloe in the refrigerator...

Thank you, Miss Ino.

You REALLY should be careful though. Too much sun will give you wrinkles.

[ise_nanao_chan]

Really?

You know, I've never even thought about that... but I've never been truly concerned with my appearance until semi recently.

[ise_nanao_chan]

If you want.... I don't want to bother anyone about it...

[ise_nanao_chan]

The door's open.

Nanao...

It's fine. You've been wonderful. Really, everything I would ask of you, you're already offering to do. I appreciate the effort and the offer to cook for me, from both you and Kurenai. You don't need to fuss so much.

This is nothing new. I've been like this for ten years, and it hasn't killed me. If I wake up one morning and can't drag myself out of bed or something, then it will be a problem. I'm functional, even if I'm coughing blood and have lost some weight.

I know that doesn't sound reassuring, but I really don't want you to think I'm trying to hold you at a distance. That isn't it. This just happens, usually several times a year. When I start feeling better, I'll gain the weight back. I was worse than this when I moved in here, and I got better. I'll get better again.

Can you try to trust me?

I do trust you.

I know it's nothing new to you, but it is to me. I worry about the people I care about and that's not something I can change.

I'm sorry if that's not what you want to hear, but that's just how I am.

That being said, I'll allow you to handle it like you have before. If you need me, let me know.

That's all I ask.

Okay...

I'm sorry. I know you worry about people, I'm the same way. I understand. It doesn't bother me to hear that.

All I do when things get worse is see my doctor, get sent for more pointless tests, and keep going no matter how awful I feel. There's not much else I can do.

If you want to feel like you're helping, keep this in mind: Being with someone I love is always helpful. I want to be near you. Okay?

I don't worry about people in general. I worry about you and very few others.

I just want you to know that might be all you can do, but it's not something you have to do alone. I've seen Crow leave the building a few times, and I'm grateful he's with you, but don't think he's the only one that cares.

You should be careful using that word, you know...

[miss_ex]

..............

Deal.

[ise_nanao_chan]

You know I'm going to hold you to this. Don't you?

[miss_ex]

I expect you to.

...As soon as the sign-ups are complete, you can even come help me throw all of them away. Too make sure they get thrown out.

[ise_nanao_chan]

... wait.

You're going to make me sign up first?
