After being patched up again by the nurses, you had to endure an earful from Lanette. You covered your ears with your hands the whole time just to annoy him.

He huffed in anger and decided to stop talking, seeing that you're not paying attention to him.

Now what? His phone is unusable, you refused to talk to him, you already ate so he has nothing to cook. Lanette tries not to watch the television because it may stress you (news channel).

He ran his fingers through his hair and pouted. "You're so stubborn." He mumbled.

"I heard him say that like... the millionth time now." You thought to yourself.

Lanette stood up from his chair and walked to his duffel bag on the shelf. "That reminds me, this doesn't seem like a hospital room. It's more like an apartment. What the hell? Is this what rich people spend their money on?"

The male rummaged through it and pulled out two, smooth wooden sticks. "Huge chopsticks?" You raised your eyebrow.

Then, he brought out another bag that has "YARN" embroidered onto it. Lanette flashed a friendly smile as he returns to his seat.

"Is this... what you do in your free time?" You questioned as he tied a string of (f/c) yarn into a slipknot.

"Yes, is something the matter?" He casts on numerous loops on his right needle.

"Knitting?" You added.

Lanette nodded as he starts to knit skillfully and quickly. You were surprised that he does it so easily, it looked like a machine is performing the task.

Within minutes, you watch the length of the knitted fabric increase.

"Wow." You commented. He giggled at your reaction and paused. He searched within his 'YARN' bag and then pulled out something (f/c).

"Here, It took me four days to complete it." Lanette placed it on your head.

"What—" you pulled away from your head to take a closer look. It's an (f/c) beanie, your fingers rub against it. It's quite comfortable and soft to the touch.

"Huh, pretty cool! Thanks!" You gave him a big, goofy grin.

Lanette's fingers trembled, he tried his best not to pull you in a hug or give you a deep kiss. He can only return the smile nervously.

You wore it and laid back down onto your bed.

"Oh, (y/n). You're just so cute, I want to kiss you so badly." Lanette cooed as his fingers reach out to touch your forehead. You furrowed your eyebrows and slapped them away.

You shot back up and grimace in disgust. You immediately remove the headwear, setting it down next to you.

The male frowned sadly. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"You gross the crap outta me, man. Ew." You shuddered and rubbed your arms. Hurt was written all over his face, but he dared not to voice it out.

He took a deep breath and continued with his knitting. "I wish you could see me as your loving husband..." Lanette murmured.

"We all have wishes, Volcano. I wish I can gouge my eyes out." You replied.

"Huh...?" Caecilius furrowed his eyebrows as he watch the news. Your exhausted face appeared in his large, flatscreen TV as the reporter narrates what happened earlier.
