Her ears go flat against her head embarrassed...

"nothing to be embarrassed about...besides, when was the last time you've had a bath?"

"A couple of days ago..." She became really embarrassed...

"like i said, don't be embarrassed. if it makes you feel better i need one too"

he said matter-of-factually

She sat up. "I just feel really embarrassed that you noticed before I did."

"well....my face was in your hair.."

"So do you have a two bathrooms?" she asked. She didn't look him in the eye.

his face goes blank.

"...uh.....no.."

She just stayed quiet after that.

"something the matter?"

She stayed quiet...this whole thing was making her embarrassed...

he lightly poked her in the side of the head

"your thinking about something. i know it..your face is turning red. you can tell me"

"This is just making me embarrassed...I have social anxiety..." She admitted.

"what are you embarrassed about?"

"I don't know...this is just making me feel embarrassed..."

he releases his grip on her completely and rolls off the bed to his feet.

"sorry, i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable"

he said, his hands up in the position of surrender

"You don't make me uncomfortable..." She said.
"I have social anxiety and it makes me think things that I shouldn't think of...It makes me think that people think badly of me..."
She had never told anyone this...not even her sister...

upon hearing this, he slowly crawled back onto the bed and sat cross-legged across from her. he spoke with a calm, gentle voice.

"i understand. but you don't have to worry about what other people think. you are you, and you shouldn't ever trade that away...besides...i don;t think bad about you. i think you are pretty great. you saved my life and everything"

She smiled a little and a tear of happiness fell down her face. No one had ever told her that except her sister...

he leans forward and uses his thumb to dry the tear from her face

"by the way...thank you for saving me."
