Hetaloid!JapanXFriendly!Reader part 2

You reach your home with the wounded Hetaloid. "Hang on a minute." You said to him as you helped lean against the side of the house, taking out your keys from your pocket. Kiku watches as you unlock the 2 different locks before opening the door and helping him inside. You quickly close the door, locking it, before leading Kiku to the couch.

You let your breath escape you as you stood up straight, looking him over. He wasn't too heavy but helping him for a certain amount of distance can be tiring.

He noticed you staring at him and blushes, lowering his head. "I-I am sorry for being in such a pathetic state…" He apologized, nodding his head as a bow.

"You and apologizing!" You huffed, placing both your hands on either side of his head against the back of the couch. His face turned a bright red as his mouth gaped open, quivering as if struggling to speak. "Stop saying sorry for something like that! Every time you apologize for nothing, I'm going to slap your wrist!" He continued to stare at you with his deep brown eyes, face completely flooded with red. You pout and lean closer to him. "Got it?"

"H-h-h-h-h-h-hai!" He stuttered, quickly nodding his head as if he was violently shaken.

"That meant 'yes', right?"

"Y-yes." You smiled at the flustered Hetaloid, how cute and innocent he is. Your mind wanders for a bit as the Hetaloid's mind goes blank. You snap out of it after a short amount of time. You had to call HetaCorp about his damages.

"Be right back." You said, smiling at Kiku, pulling away from him, allowing him to finally breathe. As you turned away from him, he quickly grabbed his chest and turning away, panting.

You can hear him whisper "Ah, I thought I was going to die…" and giggled a little, causing him to blush more once he noticed you had heard him.

You go into your kitchen and make the phone call. You were surprised to hear someone answer.

"Hetaloid Corporation, how may we help you?"

"Hi, I found a Japan Hetaloid damaged outside in an alley, I would like someone to come check on him. He's talking and acting how he should be, I think, but he has a lot of damage on his skin at least and has been showing pain." You informed them smoothly. It was best not to seem too panicked or stressed in these situations.

"OK, we don't have anybody available at the moment but we will send someone first thing in the morning. Can I please have your name and address?" Once you gave them the information they needed, you hung up and started getting some hot green tea, a gift from your Japanese friend, for Kiku.

You didn't have any traditional Asian tea cups so you settled for mugs. You put in a tea bag into the two mugs and poured some hot water over them until full. You waited for a few minutes before taking the bags out and placing the mugs onto a small (color) tray.

You enter the living room with a small tray of tea and set one of the mugs in front of Kiku. He looked a little surprised at the mug but gratefully bowed and took the cup. He rests the mug on his fingers as his other hand gently grips the side, turning it in his hand so the print face outwards. Then he delicately sipped the tea, making sure to let out a content sigh each time he lowered the mug. He had the ever so slight smile across his face.

You watched, fascinated by his ritual. You smile as he finally notices you and blushes, looking away but still continuing to sip the tea, much more bashfully now. "What was all that for?"

"W-what do you mean, ____-san?" He asked, his shoulders rising as if slowly trying to hide his face.

"The whole, twirling sighing thing." You laughed, taking a sip of your tea, a much more 'Western' way.

Kiku blushed and gently placed him cup on the table, trying to control the level of blush that had taken over his complexion. "It is somewhat a habit. Turning the decoration on the cups shows the beauty of it to others and the sighing...." He blushes and lowers his head more. "T-that is just a reaction..."

You stare at the embarrassed Hetaloid before grinning from ear to ear. "You are the most adorable thing I have ever seen!"

Kiku's body posture quickly withdraws like a turtle in its shell as he waves a hand in front of his face. "No no no, you are surely joking. Westerners have very funny jokes."

You burst out laughing and reaching over and petting Kiku's smooth yet tangled black hair. "And Easterners are very cute!"

Kiku makes a squeak as you touch his head and avoids it quickly. "P-p-please do not touch me!" You looked a little insulted as you withdrew your hand and Kiku can sense that the mood had gotten heavier. He quickly tries to recover. "Forgive me, _____-san, I-I meant no offense! I am just very sensitive about my personal space!"

"I'll forgive you if I get a hug." You smirked, opening your arms up, invitingly.

"_____-san! Please! I have just told you why I do not want to be touched!" The Japan Hetaloid whimpered, sitting up straight with his hands clenched on his knees. He looked very serious but blush covered his pale skin like a tomato.

"Oh come on~" You teased, giving Kiku a puppy dog look.

He quickly looks away, closing his eyes tightly. "N-no! I cannot! It is not proper!" You grin mischievously and quickly stand from your seat. You run around the table to him. His eyes springs open and widens as you come close to tackling him. "______-san!" He yelps as you jump onto him.

"Gotcha!" You laughed, getting up and sitting next to him. Kiku stiffens and stares down at his hands, fidgeting. "That'll be the last today, Kiku, promise!"

There was an awkward silence between you two and Kiku jumps up, grabbing both of your tea cups. "I-I will put these away!" He quickly offered and walked to the kitchen. A few steps away from the couch, he stumbles onto the ground, the mugs smashing against the floor and tea spilling everywhere.

"Kiku!" You said, getting up from the couch and hurrying over to his side. "Are you ok?"

"I-it is alright, _____-san, I simply just lost balance, this is nothing to be worried about." Kiku reassured you as he slowly got up but began to lose his balance again.

"Whoa!" You grab his arm to help him stable himself. "You need to lie down!"

"N-no, I am alright, I do not want to be a bother-"

"You're being a bother if you don't let me help you!" You snapped, giving him a stern look. "Now let me get you to the couch where you can rest until HetaCorp can come and fix you up!" Kiku looks a little disappointed in himself and listens to your command. He allows you to help him to the couch, though somewhat reluctantly. He sat down, giving you an apologetic look. "Don't start." You scolded as you quickly going into the kitchen to grab some items to clean the mess up with.

After you wiped up the tea and swept the ceramic pieces, you quickly walk over to your closet, taking out a blanket and pillow. You also grabbed some of your sweat pants and large T-shirts. Japan was fairly short compared to a lot of the Hetaloids so you didn't feel like your clothing were too small for him.

You hand Kiku the clothing and blanket. "You can change here, I'll be upstairs in my room. If you need anything please yell. I'll leave my door open." You smiled kindly and waved to him as you headed up the stairs. "Good night, Kiku."

The Hetaloid stares at the clothing and blanket, a slight blush on his face. "G-good night, _____-san. T-thank you again."

You giggle before disappearing upstairs. "As I said before, it's no problem! Sweet dreams!"
