Some Kinda Strange Feeling

While I was reading a book in my hospital bed, I heard the doorknob turning. My mother entered the room and grabbed a chair to sit next to me. I mostly paid her no mind, until she started talking. -How're you doing?- -Nice. Yuuki is going to be here in some minutes.- -I don't like him- I knew she'd had to push her opinion of him somehow. -I don't care, I do.- My mother sighed. -You shouldn't go out that often, why don't you...- I interrupted her mid-sentence. -Stay here like a good little girl? I'm sorry but I like it better outside.- My mother grabbed my hand. -I didn't mean to never treat you badly.- I looked at the ceiling, almost with guilt. -You didn't try to understand me either.- My mother stood there quietly. -Does he know...?- -No, not yet... I didn't want to tell him... in fact, I may be selfish but I want to keep it from him.- My mother nodded. -At the very least maybe you could perhaps invite him to dinner for us to meet him?- -I'll tell him about it.- My mother for the first time today forced a smile and left me with my feelings.

Yuuki entered the room, I felt my heart skip a beat for a second when he grabbed the chair and held my hand. -How are you today?- I beamed at him with a smiled. -Very good, they just called me in for a check-in, but I'm pretty sure I can leave now.- He grabbed my wheelchair and helped me get on it. -I... have to tell you something. It's nothing bad.- He cocked his head sideways. -What's it?- -My mom has some interest in knowing about you and she proposed a dinner at my house... I don't know when she wants it, we still need to talk about it but I was just wondering if it would be ok for you.- He leaned towards my face and kissed my forehead. -Fine by me.- I blushed as he took me out of the hospital for a walk.
