CHAPTER 16

Comfort in Loving Them and Danger

"Crimson, you have to eat."

I continued working on the next commission from a client named J.H. He was another long-term patron who'd been buying my work for years. The piece they requested was a little girl holding a baby Kitsune in her arms. It was a simple project, but it seemed to take hours for me to get inspiration.

"Crimson."

I blinked out of my daze at Yoshi's stern tone. I looked up at his displeased look, but then returned back to my work.

"Where's Aki? He'd convince her to eat," Malachi sighed.

"Can't always rely on him and he's out," Itsuki pointed out.

They continued talking, but I tuned them out in an attempt to return to my art. The last three days I'd been a mess and I didn't want to linger on the pain that vibrated through my hollow heart.

"Crimstorm."

I looked to my left to see Haru sitting right next to me with a spoon in his hand. I glanced at the steamy spoonful of tomato parmesan soup. My stomach growled at the sweet aroma of tomato basil mixed with the scent of cheese. I glanced back at my work, pondering whether I should pause to eat.

After having some green tea ice cream the night James broke up with me, I had barely eaten. I slept the first day away next to Urufu and the others would rotate between watching me and holding me when I cried for no reason at all.

Apparently at one point I had cried because the sky was blue, but I couldn't remember that part. The second day, I tried to get back into my usual routine, but it was hard. Just walking out of my room and seeing the vacant room across from mine that was once James’ made tears well in my eyes.

Today was the third day and it was a little better, but the guys were struggling to get me to eat. I'd already noticed the dramatic difference from how loose my pants were this morning. I didn't know I could drop eight pounds in three days and as awesome as it sounded, my curves would go downhill if I didn't gain the weight back soon.

Aki was the only one who, after numerous attempts by the others, was able to get a few spoonfuls of anything in me. I don't get why, but after finding out he was a Kitsune, I felt calmer in his presence and didn't want to disappoint him. The thought was weird and even with my clouded logic, I knew it didn't make much sense, but I guess everyone did strange things after breakups.

I continued to look back and forth from the spoon to my current project. If I stopped completely to eat, I wouldn't be able to get back into the groove once I was done. Haru gave me a slight smile.

"I'll feed you. Just concentrate on your work," he offered.

I looked into his mismatched eyes that held not a hint of pity. He genuinely wanted to feed me and let me continue doing my work.
