First Date
Oddly enough, trepidacious always comes up as a spelling error on your word processors, BUT it is a word (check the dictionary, or you can check dictionary.com). I just thought this was a bit of weird news. You can prove you are smarter than your computer.
Chapter 39 – First Date
Bliss quietly picked at the food on her plate. Her stomach was turning over and over and making horrible pains on the inside. She was not sure if it was just nerves, she never remembered feeling this sick with nerves, like her first kiss with Shu. Like anything with Shu. Was it sad that her only real experience with men was with her brother?
“Wow… this is fun,” Link said sarcastically, rolling his eyes down to the ground and not making eye contact when Bliss looked up at him.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized. Her stomach lurched. She tried to take a deep breath, to keep her body from fighting her on this, but she just could barely hold back the sick feeling that was rumbling over her. “I guess I have never been on a real first date before.”
“Yeah,” Link had to agree. “We are doing things a little back asswards.”
Bliss chuckled, which hurt somewhere in her intestines and she tried not to flinch, which made it look like she was wrinkling her nose. She despised nose wrinkling, it was such a cute thing to do, and as she did it she could almost see Link’s jaw noticeably fall open.
“So, I’m surprised your parents let you out tonight,” Bliss admitted, crossing her legs tightly together and hoping to God that was not gas making her stomach gurgle. “They were already mad at you for driving me to Wisconsin; I’m surprised they are letting you anywhere near me.”
Link nearly burst out laughing, but he was feeling trepidacious and nervous himself, and the laughter came out forced and bitter sounding. “I didn’t tell them I was taking my cousin on a date,” he admitted.
“Blergh,” Bliss said, both from pain in her stomach and from the palpable statement. She had gone from her brother, though not blood related, to her cousin, blood related. She was not sure if she was moving up or down on that one.
“Are you all right?” Link began to notice the awkward movements that Bliss seemed to make every once in a while. “Don’t be a kindergartner, if you have to pee, go.”
Bliss waved off his crude statement. “That’s not it,” she said. This time the pain came on a bit worse, and was more blatant. This was not nerves. Nerves did not cause a crushing pain somewhere in the intestines and wrap around the whole abdomen and feel like they were exploding. “Oh my God,” Bliss said, leaning her head down as Link’s eyes went wide.
Link stood up and yelled for someone to call 911 as he took Bliss in his arms. Bliss looked up at him and winced. “You’re too ugly this close,” she muttered, and she tried to laugh, but it hurt.
Link shook his head and said the first nice thing he had ever said to her, “Even scrunched up, you are beautiful.”

“How do you feel?” Shai asked, gazing down at her adopted daughter hours later, watching her eyes flutter open, then closed, then forcing their way back open again.
“Like my stomach burst,” Bliss admitted, her throat dry and her body aching. She felt like she needed to be anywhere but awake. She liked the fluffy world she had been in while asleep, a world of pink clouds and purple unicorns, something that would embarrass her greatly to admit later.
“You had your appendix out,” Kyoei laughed, “and if you did not have it out sooner it would have burst.”
“Blergh,” was Bliss’s very common answer when she did not feel like discussing things. She wanted to pull the sheet over her head and go back to sleep for a few hours, days, lifetimes.
“How long have you been having pain?” Shai asked the daughter that was trying to ignore her.
Bliss shrugged. “I thought it was cramps.”
Kyoei and Shai just sighed to one another. “You’ll be all right,” Kyoei finally said, “but they are going to keep you overnight. Do you want us to stay with you?”
Bliss shook her head. “Not really,” she admitted. “I kind of just want to sleep some more.”
Shai leaned forward and kissed Bliss on the forehead and smiled down at her. “I’m not leaving the hospital, just so you know,” she admitted to her daughter, “but I will leave the room so you can sleep in peace. I know how you are with anyone watching you sleep. Even as a child you would hate when Kyoei or I would sit with you.”
“Mom,” Bliss groaned, wanting to cover her head more than ever but finding it difficult to move. “Don’t say stuff like that now.”
Shai chuckled and stood up, Kyoei standing behind her. Kyoei began to usher Shai out of the door, but Shai kept fighting him and turning back to Bliss, lying in the bed, paler than she had ever seen her. “I won’t be far,” she said, Kyoei pulling her arm, dragging her out of the room. “If you need me have a nurse find me. If you feel sick, yell for me, if,” the door closed in her face, though Bliss could still hear her talking.
The reason she wanted to be alone was not because she could not sleep with her mom in the room, it was because she was utterly embarrassed. This was her first real date, and with Link, who had always been critical of her, and she had appendicitis! This was not what she had envisioned. It was supposed to be… sweet? Okay, so whatever Link was he was never really ‘sweet’, but he had been trying. He had taken her to the most expensive restaurant in town, he had dressed up nicely, and he had even been wearing his contacts instead of his glasses, and she… had ruined it. Granted, it was not a conscious effort to ruin the date, but still, embarrassment ensued.
Bliss slept on and off, every once in a while waking when a nurse walked in to check her vitals, or when her mom stopped by once again, whispering to Bliss as she thought she was asleep. She mentioned Nakago somewhere through the haze of darkness, but Bliss was too drowsy to really catch the whole thing.
It was closer to morning when Shai was asleep in a chair in the waiting room somewhere, that Bliss had an unexpected visitor. He snuck in, though visiting hours were over long ago and were not starting again for a few more hours. Bliss slept peacefully as he walked in, and she slept heartily until he was almost to her, and then she jerked awake and looked into the blue eyes that had grown comfortably familiar.
“Link?” she asked, gazing at him through the morning haze.
He was silent as he dropped a teddy bear at her side, something cute and cuddly, unlike them both, and then leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. He walked out without ever saying a word. Bliss looked to the teddy bear and glanced at the note attached. It was quick and to the point, and very Link.
On our second date, try not to get sick at the sight of me. Get well soon and all of that usual stuff.
