"Green hair..." I mumble to myself.
"Joshua?" Lorelei walks over to me and sits back on my lap. "Is something the matter?"
"...maybe," I reply.

I only know one person with green hair but she's dead. She died and I didn't even do anything to stop it.

"Damn it..." I place a hand to my forehead and take a couple of deep breaths.
"Are you going to be okay?" Lorelei asks.
"Yeah," I nod, "It's just... I dunno, maybe someone's playing a trick on me."
"A trick?" she rests her hand on my shoulder. "What, like a perfectly-timed prank to ruin things just as they were getting good?"

she can say that again

"My uncle said that someone showed up at my house looking for me," I say. "And he barely gave a description but what he said kind of matches..." I shake my head. "Damn it, now this is bothering me."
"Is there something I can do to help?" Lorelei asks.
"........." I look at my phone. "...no, probably not."

My only other thought is that maybe it's Irene's mother or something... but I'm honestly not in the mood to deal with that right now so that's going to have to wait until later.

"I guess this means that you're going to have to leave for a while...?" Lorelei says, heaving a sigh as she stands back on her own two feet.
"Nah," I shake my head.

"Not unless you wanted to go somewhere, I mean," I say with a shrug.
"If -I- wanted to go...?" Lorelei points at herself. "Erm..." she lets out a long sigh. "I suppose the mood really has been ruined, huh."
"A little bit, yeah."

Stupid phone.

Stupid Wallace.

"Of all the luck..." Lorelei groans as she begins to pace around the room. "...was there anywhere that -you- wanted to go?" she asks. "Because I'm drawing nothing but blanks right now."

"Maybe we could go visit my mother at the hospital together?" I ask, saying the first thing that popped into my mind.
"Your mother?" Lorelei pauses for a few seconds.

Giggling to herself, Lorelei slowly walks towards me.

"Joshua..." Smiling in the same creepy way as before, Lorelei leans in and brushes her fingertips against my cheek. "...I have to admit that I'm surprised in you."
"Eh!?" my voice cracks. "W- what do you mean?"
"We were moments away from -you know what- before your phone went off."
"Yeah?"

I'm not sure what she's getting at but the way she's looking at me right now is making me uncomfortable as hell.

"And instead of making an attempt to get things going again," she pulls way, "you decide that we ought to go and visit your mother."

"I- uh- it's not like that-" I stammer as all the blood in my body that had previously been in other areas flows directly to my face. "I was just-"

As I fumble for words... and -over- words, Lorelei just stands there and laughs to her heart's content.

"I -so- wish I had a camera right now to capture just how amazing the expression on your face is right now!" Lorelei laughs. "You have the absolute -best- reactions, Joshua!"
"Yeah, yeah..." I mumble.

While I'm busy moping, Lorelei takes my hand and pulls me to my feet.

"C'mon now," she says, "don't be like that."

"I was only teasing you because you're so cute when you're embarrassed," she says, kissing me on the cheek.

Lorelei's jaw drops and she stumbles backwards few steps. It looks like the voice in my head's advice was right on the money.

Not missing a beat, I reach out towards Lorelei and take her hand. And before she can regain her composure, I pull her along with me as I head to the door.

"W... what are you..." Lorelei says, her voice much weaker than I'm used to.
"No sense in wasting time here, right?" I say, turning back to her with my best smile. "We don't want to dawdle for too long and have the hospital's visiting hours pass us by, right?"
"Ah-"

It seems like Lorelei's trying to say something, but she soon gives up after we're out the door. And as I lead her through the hallway to the front lobby of the hotel, her face doesn't lose its cute shade of red.

There's probably some snappy oneliner that I could throw at Lorelei to completely "finish her off," so to speak... but I honestly don't really feel like I should. So instead, I just continue to hold on to Lorelei's hand as we make our way out of the hotel. Continuing to take the lead, I trace us back along the route that I took to get here from the bus stop.

"Eh?"

Alarmed by the sudden sensation of something soft pressing up against me, I glance over to my side... only to find that Lorelei's hugging my arm. And of course that softness that I was feeling is because said arm is currently sandwiched between...

Is she doing this on purpose? With how quiet she's being right now, I can't even tell. And like, it's not like I'm complaining AT ALL but it's still kind of extremely embarrassing to be doing this in public. I mean we probably look like one of those couples that you want to throw stuff at for rubbing it in everyone's faces.

But still... I'd be lying if I tried to claim that this isn't nice. Really freaking nice.

After reaching the bus stop, we wait there for about ten minutes before the bus finally arrives. The only time she even bothers to talk during the entire bus ride is to reject my offer to pay her fare and then ask the driver how much it is so that she can pay for it herself. But she doesn't utter a single word aside from that, instead just sitting next to me while holding my hand. And leaning against me so that her breasts are pressing up against me. That too.

I still have no idea if she's doing this intentionally or not.

Should I text my mother to tell her that I'm on my way? ...nah, It'll probably be more fun to surprise her instead. Also, my phone is in the pocket that's on the side that Lorelei's sitting on and it'd be a pain to try and fish it free with my one free hand. So instead, I just sit here and enjoy the ride while doing my best to avoid the strong urge to lean my head against Lorelei like a total freaking sap.

"Here's our stop," I say to Lorelei as the bus pulls up to the hospital.

And as we make our way off of the bus, she finally lets go of me.

As I walk through the hospital's automatic doors, I glance back and notice that Lorelei's trailing behind me. At a distance that I can't help but find unnatural. So of course I stop and wait for her to catch up with me.

"Hey," I say to her as she approaches. "Is something wrong?"

I really hope I didn't do something to piss her off.

"Hm?" she looks up at me with a puzzled expression.
"You were clinging onto me for dear life up until we got here," I say. "But now it's like you're purposefully keeping a distance?"
"......" she looks down at the ground. "I didn't want to cause a scene," she says in a barely audible whisper.

Barely audible for anyone who doesn't have superhuman hearing, that is.

"Umm, what?"
"You're here all the time, right?" Lorelei mumbles. "I don't want to cause a scene by hanging all over you in front of the people who you'll have to deal with even after I'm gone," she says.
"But if you were worried about embarrassing me in front of other people, why were you hanging all over me before we got here?" I ask.

Well if it kills me, then that's that. I expect I'll die doing something fucking stupid for the lulz, so I probably wouldn't even be surprised.

"Missed...?" I stare at her for a few seconds. "...oh. Like being affectionate?"
"More or less," Lorelei replies, a faint smile on her lips. "As much fun as it is to tease you about your feelings, It's been a -very- long time since I could just hold hands and rest my head on someone's shoulder and..." she sighs. "You've really messed me up, you know that?"

All I can do is force out a nervous laugh.

"My original intent was to just play around with you for a little while," Lorelei smirks, "but it's almost as if seeing how serious you are about me is affecting -my- feelings in turn."
"You were 'playing around with me?'" I cut her a sharp glance.
"Well obviously I'm not anymore," she says, laughing it off. "I wouldn't have come here to meet your mother if I was."

Speaking of that, we should probably get going.

As we make our way to the room where my mother's been stuck for the past four years, the various nurses and orderlies who I've become acquainted with almost seem surprised to see me. Just about every one of them expresses concern about my health since I haven't been around for so long, and more than a few notice that I've brought a guest with me this time around.

And suddenly I find myself VERY grateful that Lorelei isn't hanging on me like she was before we got here. Some of these nurses are worse about teasing than my mother and I don't think I would've been able to take it.

But soon enough, I find myself in front of that familiar room...

It's probably not the best idea to do anything outrageous so I just walk into the room like usual. And like usual, Mom's eyes light up when she sees me.

"Joshua!" she says with the biggest, brightest smile she can manage. "I wasn't expecting to see you today!"
"Yeah..." I scratch my head, "well this is the first time I've left the house in over a week so it's not like I couldn't NOT come see you."
"Eh?" she furrows her brow. "For a week and a half...?"

Crap, I shouldn't have mentioned that.

"Anyways," I clear my throat, "I have someone to introduce to you."

I peek out into the hallway and find Lorelei pressed against the wall like she's trying to hide from me. Not one to play along with that, I take her hand and pull her back into the room with me.

"Erm..." Lorelei forces a pained smile.
"A girl?" my mother squints.
"This is Lorelei," I say, wrapping my arm around her shoulders. "The one who I've been telling you about all this time."

Uh.

Mom's face looks like that one painting right now and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. It's actually kind of worrying...

"Th-" she points at Lorelei, "th- th- th- ththththTHIS is THAT Lorelei!?" she exclaims just before breaking into a coughing fit that ends just as I run to her side.
"Yeah," I nod.
"Hello..." Lorelei says, waving sheepishly. "It's um... nice to meet you..."

She'd probably be pulling her hat over her face right now if not for the fact that I pulled her out of the hotel room without it.

"Oh my Gooooooood..." Mom covers her face with her hands. "Joshua you stupid jerk why didn't you call me so I'd have time to PREPARE for this!?"
"Because I wanted it to be a surprise?" I shrug.

My response is rewarded with a punch to the kidney. Situations like this are the only times when I'm actually grateful for my mother's frail state.

After she finally calms down, my mother turns back to Lorelei.

"So -you're- the one who got my only son involved in all that dangerous tree business?" she asks while stagging daggers into the hapless Lorelei.
"...yes..." Lorelei bows her head.
"And you're -also- the one who's been grooming my son according to your preferences since he was twelve years old."
"Hey," I snap back, "I was THIRTEEN."
"Like that makes any difference."

Lorelei's face goes pale.

"I- I didn't groom him into anything!" she stammers. "When I first met Joshua, it was just-"
"Yeah, Mom," I back her up. "The only thing Lorelei's responsible for is giving me my Branch in the first place. The rest was all me."
"......" my mother glares at both of us.

maybe you should apologize to her?

What? No I'm not apologizing. I haven't even done anything to apologize FOR.

not yet you mean

Shut up.

"Miss... Lorelei, right?" My mother points at her. "What's your last name?"
"I don't really have one?" Lorelei replies, cringing a little.
"What, like Madonna?" she asks.
"You have no idea how many times I've heard that..." she sighs.
"Well never mind that for now," she clears her throat. "I only have one question for you that matters, anyways."
"Eh?" Lorelei's eyes widen.
"You're not just stringing my son along, are you?" Mom asks, pointing at me. "Because if you -are-..."

Both me and Lorelei shudder at the same time.

"N- no," Lorelei shakes her head profusely. "Joshua's a sweet boy and I'm serious about him..."
"Good," Mom nods. "That's all I wanted to hear."

Leaning back in her bed, my mother reaches out for my hand.

"Though I have my misgivings about this entire thing," she says, "it's also true that you're the only actual friend that Joshua's had ever since my accident."
"...I am?" Lorelei squints.
"What, he never told you?" she says, glaring at me. "My son here's been especially awful at making friends ever since I got hurt. And you're the -only- person who he's had much of anything positive to say about for the past four years."

That's because telling her that I'm best friends with the voice in my head would probably give her a heartattack.

"Erm..." Lorelei begins to blush, "...that's kind of flattering, I guess..."
"I bet it is," Mom laughs. "Joshua here's been head over heels for you for YEARS now, you know."
"So he's told me," she laughs nervously.
"And now that I'm actually able to get a good look at you, I can understand why," she says, nudging me with her elbow. "It's a wonder that you settled for Joshua here, I'm sure you could get your pick of guys!"

No, but I do have a binder full of stuff I've had drawn for me at cons.

"Now that's just rude," I say, turning up my nose like any proper gentleman would at such an insinuation. "Lorelei picked me -because- she wasn't going to just settle for any guy who asked her out."
"Yes," Lorelei nods repeatedly, "Joshua is a nice sweet boy, and handsome to boot."
"To think that my own mother would think so lowly of me..."
"Cut it out already," she says, jabbing me in the side with her finger. "I get the joke."

We spend the next hour or so chatting about this and that. What I've been up to since the last time I came to visit, what Lorelei thought when I first confessed my feelings to her, my mother's improved health (complete with CT scans that I don't understand at all), with lots of ribbing interspersed throughout. It's not until the sun starts to get low in the sky that we leave, and my mother is understandably sad to see us go.

"I expect to see you TOMORROW, you got that?" she calls out as we're on the way out the door.
"Yes Ma'am," I groan.
"I mean it," she says, glaring at me. "You can bring Lorelei back too if you want, I actually kind of like her."
"Er, thanks," Lorelei smiles. "It was nice to meet you."
"The same goes for you," she laughs. "Finally getting to meet my future daughter-in-law after years of hearing about her..."

Her face beet-red, Lorelei hurries out of the room without another word. After waving goodbye to my mother, I chase after my embarrassed girlfriend.

"...so -that's- where you get it from..." Lorelei grumbles at me when I finally catch up with her.
"Eh, she's way better at it than I am," I laugh.
"Honestly," she sighs. "But aside from the teasing, your mother is very nice. I hope she gets well soon."
"So do I," I nod.

Bidding farewell to the usual faces, I lead Lorelei out of the hospital and to the bus stop that's just outside it. Luckily, we timed our departure such that the bus will be here soon.

"This is the bus that'll take us back to the hotel?" Lorelei asks, pointing at the sign.
"Yup," I nod.
"Umm..." she looks around. "...I know you and your uncle don't get along all that well so if you wanted, um..." she starts blushing again. "The room isn't all that large but you're free to stick around for as long as I'm in town."
"Eh-"

It feels like my heart's trying to bear out of my chest.

"Y- you mean like overnight?" I stammer.
"There's only one bed but it's a king-size..." she says, fidgeting.

Might need to take his bags from home first.

Fun thread full of spaghetti, but that's all for tonight. And since the story didn't really move much in terms of time, the next thread will also be Song of Unison.

Might be running it on Wednesday night, depending on how I'm feeling.

And now it is time for me to not be awake. Thanks for playing!

Dunno how the voting at the end of thread works, but I don't think we should seal the deal quite yet.

Missed all the recent threads, but at least I get to chip in on the last vote.
