a simple encounter

physical therapy

Today was the first day that I was gonna start doing physical therapy. I hated not being able to walk and move freely without leaning on something or having Vision by my side. Vision helped me walk down to the training room where I wanted to do my physical therapy. He offered to help me with it but I told him that it was something I wanted to do on my own. He simply nodded his head and told me that he would be close by and if I needed help that I could just shout for him. I sat down on the mat and began to stretch as Vision left the room. It did hurt to stretch but I knew it was helping me get better, and that's all I wanted. I stood up while leaning on the bench so I could move on. I tried to walk without leaning on anything so I could walk across the mat and with the first step I fell. I yelped in pain as I hit the ground. Faster than I could blink I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, pulling me close.

"Are you okay?" I hear Vision ask

"You got here so fast," I say while looking up at him

"I heard your pain," he stated

"I'm okay, I just tried to move too fast," I smile

"You're so strong, but this will take time. Let me help you," Vision smiles back weakly

"Okay, deal," I smile

He helps me stand up and we spend an hour working on stretches and walking freely. Vision was always there to catch me when I fell which was nice. I enjoyed having Vision by my side as much as I did want to do this alone, deep down I knew I needed help. Once we finished, Vision and I headed into the kitchen so we could make something to eat. Of course, he wasn't able to eat which made me wonder. Would Vision and I ever be able to share a dinner together? There were sometimes where I would worry about these things but in the end, it didn't matter. After Vision and I made breakfast together, we decided to go on a walk outside since it was such a nice day. Vision held out my jacket to help me put it on and I blushed. Vision walked beside me at a slow pace to be there in case the walking became too much for me. The sun felt warm on my skin, I enjoyed being able to get outside. The sun gleamed against Vision's skin in the most beautiful way. He looked over at me once he noticed that I was staring and he smiled.

"You look beautiful today," he says shyly

"Thank you, Vis," I replied with a smile from ear to ear

"This is my favourite kind of weather. It's not too hot but also not too cold. It's just right, perfect for a stroll around the Facility," Vision states while looking forward

"Do you do this often? Is this where you always disappear too?" I ask

"Well, sometimes yes. I do also enjoy reading alone. I've learned so much about humans just from all the stories I have read and studied," Vision replies

"What is your favourite thing about reading?" I ask

"I enjoy being able to learn or experience something new in every story. Each story I've read has made me feel something different which I enjoy," he smiles

"That's a beautiful way to look at it," I smile

"What about you? What do you enjoy about reading?" he asks me

"Well, I enjoy many things about reading. I enjoy the beauty that can be found within a collection of words. For example, the sonnets that you and I read hold a certain beauty that I can never get enough of. On the other hand, I also enjoy being able to escape to a new world with each story I read, it feels as if I'm there with the characters," I reply in great detail

"You truly amaze me, Do you know that?" Vision replies while looking over at me

I couldn't help but blush and look at the ground. I felt Visions hand brush up against mine and it sent shivers down my spine. I look up only to have his eyes meet with mine. He smiles lightly and holds his hand out. I place my hand in his and smile.
