Family Matters

After the whole cafeteria situation calmed down a little bit, Sayaka escorts me back to the Nurse's office.

"So tomorrow Makoto will be coming around to help you out", Sayaka says as we walk infront of the nurses office, "He's the one that came up with the idea of making the schedule"

"I really don't deserve all the help you guys are giving me!", I smile at her, "Thanks for helping me out today, Sayaka. I really appreciate everything you've done for me"

Sayaka blushes before she gives me a peck on the lips, "You are most certainly welcome! I'll see you later, John"

She waves goodbye and heads off to her dorm. After watching Sayaka leave, I head into the nurse's office to see Mikan waiting there for me.

"W-Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed yourself to today!", Mikan smiles widely.

"It was amazing", I sigh happily, "And now I get to end it with my favorite nurse"

Mikan blushes and giggles, "W-Well I have some g-good news. You shouldn't be in here for much longer!"

"What do you mean?", I ask as I sit on one of the beds.

"Well, thanks to some medicine that the Ultimate Pharmacist made, your arms should be fully healed in just a few days! It's that great!", Mikan clasp her hands together and smiles cutely.

In just a few days? But if that happens then I won't get to have Kyoko as my assistant!

"Mikan, could I stay here for another week? You know, just to make sure I'm okay", I try to bargain with her.

"But I figured you'd want to get out of here as soon as possible?", Mikan tilts her head and gives me a confused look.

Maybe I should try to use my Ultimate Boyfriend talent to get Mikan to listen to me? But I'd feel wrong for using her like that. I guess I'll just be honest.

"Truth be told, there's someone I'm really interested in that's going to be my assistant next week. It's probably the only chance I'll get to hang out them" I explain.

"O-Oh I understand!", Mikan begins to laugh softly while twiddling her thumbs, "That person is a girl that you're interested, right?"

"Am I really that easy to read?", I ask with shocked look.

"I-I suppose I could allow you to stay here for another week. A-After all we are f-friends, right?", Mikan smiles at me, making my heart beat fast.

A feel a light blush begin to creep up on my face as I smile back at her, "Thanks Mikan, for everything"

Mikan then helps me get changed out of my uniform and into a t-shirt and some black shorts.

Before I go to lay down in the bed, I turn to Mikan and softly kiss her on the lips. Mikan's eyes widen before she melts into the kiss. Before we can take things any further, my cell phone begins to ring.

Hesitating for a moment, I break the kiss and sigh, "Perfect timing, huh? You mind helping me out with that?"

Mikan nods and grabs my phone off of the bed. She answers the phone and turns on the speaker.

"Hello?", I ask trying to figure out who called me.

"What the hell were you thinking?!", I quickly recognize the anger voice of my mother.

Oh yeah, Headmaster Kirigiri told me this morning that my mom was gonna call. Guess I forgot due to how crazy today has been.

Mikan shutters at how upset my mom sounds, I hear her quietly whimper, "I-I'm sorry...."

I gulp out of fear, "H-Hey Mom! How are you doing?"

"Answer the damn question. What the hell were you thinking?", my mother says with venom in her voice.

"I-I don't really understand what you mean", I ask nervously, hoping she wasn't talking about me saving Natsumi.

"Don't be a fucking smartass. Just answer the question", there's clear malice in her voice.

"Well, I thought that I needed to do something to save Natsumi's life", I try to explain.

"Did you really need to risk your life like that?! There must have been other ways you could have saved that girl!", my mother yells before I can finish explaining myself.

"I didn't really have the time to think of some full proof plan. If I hadn't acted when I did, Natsumi would have died", I state bluntly.

"But what would have happened if you had died? If you had died, John, I don't know what we would do...", my mother says this quietly, "Your father and I are proud of you for being a hero, but you need to promise me you'll be more careful"

"I promise Mom, I'll be more careful. And besides, I'm getting treated by the Ultimate Nurse. She's been taking great care of me", I exclaim, trying my hardest to embarrass Mikan.

Mikan blushes and giggles softly.

"So that idiot you call a Headmaster told me", my mom sighs, "Well I'm glad to hear that you're in good hands. I've gotta go, but I figured I should warn you, your sister's gonna call you"

"What?! Why is Nae calling me?!", I shout into the phone.

Is she worried about me too?

"Cause you never told her Sayaka was attending the same school as you. Your father told me that Nae had a huge temper tantrum when she found out", my mom laughs slightly.

Geez, I can't believe we're only two years apart.

"Alright kiddo, I love you. Stay safe! See ya", my mother quickly hangs up.

"Y-Your mom seems a little s-scary", Mikan whimpers.

"You have no idea", I sigh loudly.

Before I could even finish sighing, my phone rings again. Like before, Mikan answers it and puts the phone on speaker.

"What the hell, John?!", my little sister, Nae, yells out as soon as Mikan turned the speaker on.

This causes Mikan to jump out of shock.

"Nice to hear from you too, Nae", I mumble.

"How come you never told me that Sayaka was one of your classmates?!", Nae shouts.

"Maybe cause I didn't even know she was here till I met her?", I respond trying not to let the Ultimate Pain, that is my little sister, get to me.

"You met her?! Is she as nice as she seems on stage?! What's she like in a casual setting?!", Nas begins to shove questions at me.

"She is a lovely woman", I smirk evilly, "And an even better kisser"

Nae gasps, "No fucking way... You didn't...."

"Bye Nae!", I say sweetly before I nod my head at Mikan, signaling her to hang up.

"I swear to god John! If you hang up on me, I'll never forgive-", before Nae can finish that threat, Mikan hangs up the phone.

"I love messing with that brat", I chuckle, "She's probably cussing me out as we speak"

Mikan looks worried, "I-I hope she won't be anger with me for hanging up..."

"She didn't even know you were there", I reply.

"A-Am I really that i-invisible?!", Mikan cries.

I smile at her sweetly, "You are absolutely adorable, you know that?"

After spending a few more minutes together, Mikan leaves so that I can get some rest.

For the next week, I'll be taken care of by my classmates. A part of me is worried that I'll end up dead before I get to Kyoko's turn. Only time will tell.
