Strange Feelings (Short Story)
8 years ago
Jeffrey waves "Hi..." Strange Feelings by Angel RoseJeffrey looked at his friend, Rayne with eyes of confusion, not sure what to make of her abnormal behavoir. One minute he goes up to her saying that he has a strange tingling feeling in his lower abdomen and the next minute she's tugging on his arm, saying the word 'bathroom' over and over again while doing so.
"Jeffrey, let's go to the bathroom." Rayne said once more, looking at him.
"Bathroom?" Jeffrey asked, tilting his head.
"Yes." She answered, tugging once more on his arm.
Jeffrey's eyes widened as he felt her tug again, the tingling feeling getting worse when she did so.
"Come on, Jeffrey. Don't be stubborn." She resorted from tugging to pushing him from behind but since she was only 5'4 and he was 5'11 she couldn't get him to budge.
"I'm not stubborn." Jeffrey huffed, moving away slightly which in turn caused Rayne to fall to the floor.
"You are! Please, come with me to the bathroom. It's the only way to get rid of the tingling feeling." She said as she grabbed his hand, proceeding to pull him again.
"No." Jeffrey said, his voice defiant as as he pulled his hand away from her.
"Jeffrey, please?" She asked, looking at him.
"N-no..." He said once more, sitting on the floor with his knees to his chest. He didn't understand what was going on. When he was a nanoid he didn't ever get this strange tingling feeling but now that he was turning human he ate, drank and even slept. All these things were strange to him. Strange, new and... scary. Now, Rayne was trying to pull him into a room he's never been in.
"Jeffrey, come on. You need the bathroom." She said, crouching down and rubbing his head.
Jeffrey whimpered slightly, squirming around some as Rayne rubbed his head. This was not helping the strange feeling. In fact, it felt much worse now. In one swift move he was on his feet once more, shifting on his feet uncomfortably with wide eyes, looking around frantically.
"It's alright, Jeffrey. You're okay." Rayne tried to reassure him, taking his hand and trying to lead him towards the bathroom again.
Jeffrey shook his head, putting one of his legs over the other one subconsciously. He felt the feeling subside a little when he did that which caused him to relax some. Noticing Jeffrey's body language Rayne knew she didn't have much time left before his bladder would give out so she started urging him towards the bathroom quickly but gently. Much to her relief Jeffrey allowed her to, obviously too preoccupied with his need to notice.
"That's it, Jeffrey. You're doing good. Just keep holding it." Rayne encouraged, continuing to lead him. They were in the doorway, just feet away from the toilet when suddenly Rayne was tugging to no avail once more.
"Rayne..." Jeffrey said, looking down at his feet.
"We're almost there. Just keep hol..." Rayne's words died on her tongue as she turned around to a shivering Jeffrey, having his first accident.
"Rayne..." The tone of Jeffrey's voice as he finished peeing told Rayne that Jeffrey was obviously scared and confused so she wasted no time.
"Come on, Jeffrey. It's okay." She said softly, finally ushering him into the bathroom.
"I'm wet..." He said as Rayne sat him on the toilet and started removing his soaked socks.
"I know." She said, looking into his eyes.
"Why? An oil leak?" He asked, tears starting to form in his rich blue eyes, thinking of the posdibility of being broken.
"No. You know that tingling feeling you had a minute ago?" Rayne asked, turning the shower water on and adjusting it to where it was warm.
"Yes. It's gone now." Jeffrey said, poking his stomach in the location where the tingling was, seeing if it was really gone.
"That's because you peed finally." She said, starting to unbutton his shirt.
"What's peed?" Jeffrey asked, tilting his head as he watched her.
"Well, peeing is something all humans do." Rayne answered, blushing slightly at Jeffrey's bare chest.
"Why?" He asked, curiosity reflecting in his eyes.
"B-because..." She started, trying to think of what to say exactly.
"Because... why?" He asked again as he looked into her eyes.
"Because... what goes in a human must come out." She answered, a slight blush on her cheeks again.
"As... pee?" He asked, touching her cheek, fascinated with her blushing.
"Yes." She answered, giggling at his curiosity.
"Oh..." He said, poking her cheek to see if the redness would go away.
"But you're supposed to pee in the toilet only." She said, poking his cheek in return.
"Toilet..." He mumbled, thinking of what it could be.
"Yes, the thing you're sitting on right now." She confirmed, giggling some.
"Oh..." Jeffrey got up, observing the strange object.
"You stay in here. I'll get you some new clothes. Okay?" Rayne said, looking at him.
Jeffrey nodded his head slightly, too engulfed in his observation of the strange object to notice Rayne leaving the room.
What a strange chair... He thought. His eyes widened slightly as he realized the lid he was sitting on a minute ago could be lifted up.
Huh, it has a hole and water inside it. How strange. I wonder why... He lifted the seat, making his eyes widen more.
The hole is bigger now... He looked at the peculiar silver lever thing near the top of the strange chair and wiggled it. Noticing it moves he pushed it down completely, causing the toilet to let out a loud whoosh sound.
It... it growled at me. It's alive!" Jeffrey quickly ran off to the bedroom, finding Rayne holding clean clothes in her hands.
"Jeffrey? What's wrong?" Rayne asked, noticing that he was frightened.
"The toilet's alive. It growled at me because I touched it's silver thing." He answered, hugging her as he shivered.
"It's okay, Jeffrey. It's okay." She said, giving him a comforting hug back as she spoke softly to him.
Jeffrey relaxed in his friend's embrace, listening to the gentle voice that soothes him of all his worries.
"Come on. Let's go back to the bathroom." She said, gently grabbing his hand.
Jeffrey nodded slightly, feeling a little better thanks to Rayne's comforting words. When his hand was in her's it gave him another strange feeling, though. It wasn't like the other one, it was warm and he felt as if butterflies were flying around in his stomach.
"Alright. Let's get you cleaned up and in some fresh clothes." Rayne said, smiling up at him as she set the clothes on the bathroom counter.
Jeffrey nodded slightly and looked at Rayne then down at his feet, shifting on them some. Realizing that Jeffrey needed privacy to do so Rayne left the room, closing the door.
Poor Jeffrey. Everything in the human world is strange to him and probably scary... Rayne thought as she began cleaning the puddle up.
After getting dressed in the fresh clothes Rayne left for him Jeffrey left the bathroom to find his friend. He didn't like being away from her as he went through this change. She always knew what the feelings were that he was feeling and knew what to do to get rid of them. A soft smile graced his features as he found her in the kitchen, cooking lunch. That strange feeling he had when holding her hand was back once more as he watched her.
Why does my face feel warm? He thought, touching his cheeks.
"Oh, you're out. Feel better?" Rayne asked, snapping Jeffrey out of his thoughts.
"Yes, I feel better." He answered, averting his eyes.
"Is something wrong?" She asked, looking concerned.
Jeffrey shook his head then looked down at his feet.
"Are you sure?" She asked, coming closer to him.
"Yes, I'm sure. Now, what's for lunch?" He asked, giving her a slight smile.
"Chicken stir fry." She answered, not completely convinced.
"Delicious. Let's eat." He said, trying to convince her he was fine.
"Alright. Oh, and Jeffrey?" She said as they sat down to eat.
"Yeah?" He asked, looking at her.
"The toilet's not alive so you don't have to be scared. Okay?" She reassured him, gently rubbing his hand she had taken a hold of.
"O-okay..." He said, feeling the butterflies in his stomach again.
"And I'm not upset about the accident you had." She continued.
"Okay. I'm... I'm sorry, though." He said, averting his eyes.
"It's okay. Accidents happen. Now, let's eat." She said, smiling as she began serving their food.
Rayne's so sweet and understanding. I'll... I'll tell her about this warm feeling I have lately around her later... He thought, a gentle smile gracing his features as he began eating.Written on 10/10/17 By the way, this is based off a universe my offline friend and I created together. Jeffrey's main form is a human usually but in certain role plays it varies. I guess you could technically call him a shapeshifter. In this story he's a humanoid robot much like Chi off Chobits.
