A Friend in Rough Waters (M/Reserved)

He smiled sweetly, squeezing her hands gently. "You've caused me no trouble. I enjoy the company. And I'm lucky to have someone as unique as you around." He smiled more.

"i will, i hate being completely dependent on you for everything. You have a life of your own too" she pulled back from the hug taking his hands sweetly. "i understand you wanted to help but i would hate to change everything up." though just her being there did.

He made a startled noise and blinked. Then he smiled and held her to him gently, his arms around her waist. "Don't you worry about it." he spoke softly.

She smiled and hugged him tightly. "Thank you! I promise I will help out more!" she smiled more nuzzling into his neck.

He laughed and held her steady on the counter. "Okay, easy there sweetie. I can go get you one later, sure." He smiled softly at her.

"then you wouldn't always have to carry me! Then we could do even more fun things! It would be so easy for you!!" she was so excited she nearly fell off the counter. "If you can it would be great!!"

He made a soft noise then laughed. "Those are called wheelchairs. People who have disabilities usually use them...would you like me to get you one?" He smiled softly down at her.

"this says she cant use her legs!!!" she pointed to a person in a wheelchair. She looked to him "what is that thing?" she seemed a tad excited in the thought of this odd thing,

He chuckled slightly. "Right, no legs I..." He trailed off when she gasped. "...what is it?" He glanced back at her, then crossed to her side.

"alright, I mean it would be hard any way, with no legs" she raised her fin. She looked around after the cooking lesson, finding herself a magazine nearby and looking into it. Then she suddenly gasped.

He began to show her how he prepared the corn dogs, smiling at her and making sure she understood. "Now, the oven is really really hot, so id prefer for you to use the microwave to heat these."

"water will always fine" she smiled taking to drink eagerly then refreshing herself. Then she focused on get comfy and turning her focus to what he was doing, moving her fin side to side with a small hum.

He blinked. "I-oh! Right! I-Is water okay with you?" He poured her a fresh, cool glass and brought it to her. He gently sat her on the counter. Then he got the corn dogs out of the freezer once

She smiled more and nodded "alright, but first can i get something to drink?" she made a soft noise "then you show me how to made those." her light smile stayed on her face.

He made a noise, grinning softly. Gently he wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Well...I mean if you insist." He chuckled. "Let me show you how to make them."

"I would like to though! Your doing so much for me!" she looked to him "it's only fair if I do my best for you!" she suddenly hugged him "i wanna repay you, cause this all means so much to me!" she nuzzled him some.

"You don't have to do things for me..." He smiled softly as he picked her up, being gentle with her. He held her carefully as he moved with her into the kitchen.

She smiled and nodded "Sure! So maybe one day I can make them for you!" he then got prepped for pick up. "I hope to eventually be able to do things for you" she said in a soft voice.

He smiled brightly. "Would you like to go to the kitchen?" He moved closer, read to pick her up if she decided she wanted to go. "I can show you how I make the corndogs. Would you like another?"

"Oh!" She wiggled some "what are some fun things to do inside? You can show me them! Or you can teach to cook the corn of dogs, and other things or show me things you like!"

"W-Well. Uh. Is there anything I can do?" He looked at her curiously, admiring her fin.

She smiled still "well, i'd love to go out and see this place, but" she moves her fin "that's hard to do"

"No fun." He laughed, walking into the kitchen. "Well, is there anything you want to do today?" He called, cleaning up the counters.

"Nope!" she shook her head "i want it to be special, so if i tell you it won't be as amazing!" she smiled even more

"Aw, come on, can't you give me a hint?" He laughed. "You're teasing me now." He grinned at her, standing up.
