Mot set down the bowl, watching as Hel wiggled excitedly for him to join her. The 16 year old reaper was beginning to think that ghouls were a strange and crazy sort.
"Because you're toying with me like a feline would to a miced tea." Mot replied with a raised brow.
True to his word though, the boil sat on the bed beside Hel, looking down on her and shaking his head. The covers were pulled up, and Mot ushered Hel to lay down. "As promised, you need to rest."

“If you are going to accuse me of such things, I wish you would pick a different animal analogy.” Hel replied. “Cat things should be left in regards to Riyo...and besides, you offered, and I took you up on it.” She smiled a bit, and then rolled her eyes as Mot ushered her to lay down. Sheesh, just sitting there with pillows wasn’t good enough?
Regardless, the valkyrie laid down, pulling the quilts up until they were under her chin as she stared up at the cowboil. “…Mot. I have a bone I need to pick with you.”

Mot simply smirked at her complaint, shrugging lightly.
The reaper laid a hand over Hel's forehead, lightly brushing her hair back with his fingers as she stared up at him. "Hm? What have I done, now?" He asked with a light innocent smile.

Hel had been ready to bust open the can about what he had been doing following her some time back when she went on an outing with Roch before they started dating. She meant to ask him about it, but other things had gotten in the way, and now they had plenty of time to talk. Hel found herself hushed though, as Mot’s hand rested on her forehead and brushed her hair back. Ack…the moths were fluttering around in her stomach again.
She stared up at him, falling silent for a good long while before she found her voice again. “…What were you doing Mot…following me during one of my outings with Roch?”

Mot's hand stilled a moment, visibly shook by the information given. So she knew he'd been there? Did they both know? Mot frowned, glancing away shyly and then continuing to pet her hair.
"I was bothered.." He answered soon after, his free hand fidgeting with the sheets. "It bothered me because I thought you were... on a date with him."

Hel was further impressed that Mot didn’t try to beat around the bush.
“…You…were bothered by that thought?” The reaper echoed, a bit awed. As bad as it might have been…she was strangely flattered by that. Mot had been that concerned about her matters that he did something uncharacteristic…and stalked her. Hel was flattered by the weirdest things. “…Heh…I’m amused yet…dismayed at the same time…” She pulled the blankets up over her face more, under her nose. “…I liked you for quite a while.”

Mot glanced down at Hel, his complexion turning a familiar shade of red again. Hel had such an effect on him. "You did?" He asked curiously, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"I.." He stifled a giggle, lighting placing his hand over his mouth to hide the smirk. Hel had liked him for a long time. That made him happy. "It honestly took me a long time to realize my own feelings. You sort of crept into my heart before I knew it."

Hel’s gaze shifted to the ceiling, and then back at Mot. “…Yes…I did.” She murmured. “I…” The reaper paused, glancing somewhere else that was not Mot. “…I believe I…started to like you not long after we started to spend more time together…but I…ah…I truly didn’t realize it until…before we went on the field trip.” She wasn’t sure why she was spewing this all of a sudden…it just happened. Once it started, she just kept on going.
The reaper’s cheeks went a bit red as well. “…Heh…that so?” Crept into his heart, huh? That seem ironic…Hel did anything but creep quietly. “…I thought I was being clever…that I was hiding it…but everyone around me seemed to figure it out.” Hel wrinkled her nose at this.

The field trip?! She started liking him that long ago? Mot looked surprised. "Wait... so.." He thought back to her bahvior on the trip, and the times she became cross with him. He began piecing it all together, and a light bulb went off. "So when you got mad at me those few times, was it because I was looking at Lizzy?" Mot asked innocently.
Honestly, he was so dense.
"Everyone knew you liked me? Why didn't anyone tell me?" He wondered aloud, his expression a puzzled one.
So dense...

Hel glanced up at him as he seemed to try piecing something together, and her cheeks brightened red at his question. Busted. “…Ah…yep.” Hel muttered, now looking away from the cowboil once more. “…If anyone tried…would you have listened…?” Hel wondered, “Actually…would you have even believed them?” She snorted a bit at the thought.
“…Actually…I was kind of…mad too…that everyone seemed to know but you…” She let out an exasperated sigh. “You know what I thought when I first met you too? I thought you were goofy after you panicked about your hat flying away…” She snickered softly.

Good question.
Mot laughed nervously, rubbing his neck. "Probably not."
Hel's admittance of her first impression of him made Mot laugh. "That doesn't surprise me. Oh, but does that mean you don't think I'm goofy now?" He asked with and expectant look.

Hel paused.
It was a long pause.
“…Only…every now and then.” She answered, waggling her fingertips at him from underneath her blankets. The edges of her grin could be seen as well. Not like she could lie about that.

Mot smirked at her playful admittance. He knew he was goofy. No sense denying it. "Only?" He chuckled.
Mot reached down and started petting her hair back with his fingers, hoping to start soothing her to sleep soon. She needed her rest. "....Did your mother ever do anything special for you when you were sick?"

“Yep. Only.” She replied.
Her eyes lidded as Mot started to pet her hair back. That felt really nice. “Mother…? Ah…usually when I fell ill, it was Freya who would stick at my side…she’d shoo mother away.” The ghoul chuckled at this. “…Freya would sing to me…and she would pet my hair too.” Just like what Mot was doing. “What about your mother…?”

Mot laughed, imagining Freya do that was not hard to do at all. "She fought off your Mother? Amazing." He'd met their mom, and she seemed like a capable woman. "That's really nice of Freya though. Do you want me to sing for you too?"
"My mother.." Mot railed off, scratching his cheek and smiling shyly.
"She threatened to tie me to the bed so I could sleep it off. I was kind of rambunctious when I was younger, so it was a challenge to keep me down. She'd also threaten me to eat my soup." He laughed softly. So much threats...
