I’m Broken

Topher had waited an hour before finally getting up and going to the door. Spyke was soundly asleep but the expression on her face looked like that of sadness. He decided to take a trip back home to shower and have a meal. Spyke was fine and she was in good care and didn’t need him. He made his walk towards home and began to ruminate on his days with the young saber. The hyena-antelope hybrid stroked his goatee as his eyes lifted to see the batting cages as he walked by.
“Do you not normally take time off?”
“I can’t say that I have.”
“What about vacations?”
“Never used them.”
“WHAT!?”
“Ugh! Spyke! You spat rice all over me!”
“You haven’t taken any time off for yourself!? You really are a hermit.”
Topher had finally got what he thought was the rest of the rice off but upon turning his head his ears went red when he felt a rather rough tongue roll over his lips. He went rigid, not sure how to react, and was not even sure what thoughts were swirling around in his head.
Topher ran his hands over his lip remembering the rough tongue going over his face and the almost sly expression on Spyke. When she’s doing her sports, she’s confident and happy but when she accidentally does something the light on her face grows and she shies away.
“Hey, I’m sorry I smacked you. Just gave me a surprise. Don’t take it to heart. I smack all the guys I like.”
“Yeah? Including scumbag?”
“How do you know that unless you-” She gasped lightly, “Topher! You didn’t? You went through my phone?”
“I saw his text after I called work when I was calling off at your request. His message came up and I saw what he had messaged.”
“Nosey.” She pressed her finger firmly to his nose and had slightly narrowed eyes, “I forgive you but you owe me from the breach of privacy. I’ll hold it against you so when I ask for something you had best not deny me.”
Rubbing the base of his antlers down to his temple remembering she had been forgiving of him so easily even with the instances that he had upset her. Even touching her shoulder out of the shower had surprised him. Was she that passive because she liked him? He walked past the field where she had practiced seeing others playing.
“I don’t know what’s funnier, the fact you outran them and their security or the fact you dropped your identity for them to find you.” He chuckled and ran his hand over his jaw it hurt from the strain of laughing; had it been that long since he actually used those muscles?
“You should laugh more Topher; you have an infectious laugh.”
It was more often that she complimented him as to vice versa but he wasn’t sure how to give them really. He could certainly say ‘nice’ things but he couldn’t say them with the sincerity that most put behind their words.
“You hardly have any free time and not one day of rest. So- wait, when you helped me, you took a day off? No, you left early enough to still make it back to practice.”
“Yeah, I could take Saturday and Sunday off but those are my days to practice so they schedule alternates a bit sometimes but I try to keep it the same.”
“Why would you do that? You need at least one good day of rest. That’s what all the sports teachers say right? You give me such a strict regime and yet you don’t even rest yourself. Double standards much? Look, I know It's not my place to tell you what to do but you should at least slim those days down to half and split them up.”
“What are you going to do? Tell my coach? Threaten my scholarship?”
Her remark had hurt more than he expected as he recalled the time, he had indeed threatened both; this time he would be better with his words especially with how much she had been helping him, “No, I won’t be telling them. I am addressing you because your health concerns me.”
“Because you suddenly give a damn? Is that really how you feel or is it because you want something else?”
That’s right, she had been making advances even from the start and he assumed she was a very young prostitute. He had found her so complicated but she had been hinting her interest nearly from the start. He rubbed his cheeks and felt the color in them as he was home and began to make his way to the shower not even bothering with his normal routine. His eyes looked over to the couch and thought back to the first time he went to her apartment to help her with her school information.
“Are you a harlot?!”
“You didn’t come here for that, did you? I can be if you want me to. Are you one of those men that like to be called daddy?”
“I came here to help you with scholarship and resumes as well as grants; if you insist on trying to tempt me, I will be leaving.”
“Why are you helping me? I didn’t do that much to deserve your help so clearly; I’ve just been a nascence and you want something of me. I can’t pay you in money so is this going to be good enough?”
“I have no intention of taking advantage of you. I was honestly going to offer help and in return, if you wouldn’t mind cooking for me and doing meal prep again; It would be payment enough. And of course, if you needed any help besides the school stuff, say saving for a car or an apartment bigger or closer to your next campus I would be willing to set money aside for you since you would be shopping and cooking for me. Not to mention but you may have to double that as several of my co-workers seem to think I have a wife that can cook and are insisting to pay for lunches.”
“No one has ever denied my advances. I’m sorry if I pushed so strongly; I honestly didn’t know. I must seem so sleazy to you.”
“Not sleazy; just promiscuous. It’s fine. And don’t think for one moment that it’s because you’re not pretty; on the contrary, you are quite radiant and beautiful. I myself am just not interested in... that.”
“That’s sweet. Thanks Topher. -Oh, thank you hubby!”
“Hey! Let go of me! And don’t call me that!”
Despite it being a few weeks he could still remember when he woke up after being attacked and she was on his couch. Spyke had stayed for him.
“Get yourself together and I’ll escort you out.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Alright but sore to say the least. Now get your things; you need to get home.”
“I saved your ass again last night and still no fucking thanks!? I would have left but I thought your alarm would go off and now you are kicking me out after trying to help?”
“I have things to do. I don’t have time to argue... with...” He had paused and his face went red as he looked at the saber girl whom was in just a tank top and panties. He was swift to turn around and covered his face, “Put on some clothes!”
“Alright fine. I’ll get dressed and leave after you shower, I rebandage your wound, and feed you breakfast.”
“Fine.” He hissed and shut the door swiftly. “I can’t believe this woman, or girl. How ignorant. Why do I have to put up with this?”
Fresh out of the shower he dressed and moped as he went to the fridge and stared at the delicate hand-written notes on the meals. He tilted his head and moved one aside and saw one with a larger note. Pulling it out he saw it was a rather decadent bento with a lot more meat. It had a much more expensive cut of his favorite meat. He unfolded the note and he bit his lip and slumped down to his knees.
Hey Topher! Happy 1 month Anniversary of putting up with me. Thanks so much for all the help with school stuff. I truly appreciate you. Have a wonderful day at work! I’ll cook your fav. Dish later tonight!
Love~ Spyke
He staggered back to his feet and sat at the island and ran his hands over his head and stared at the countertop then his eyes slowly drifted up to the fridge and saw the first note Spyke ever gave him. After the first attack, his motion detectors told him that something happened at the door. The girl had slid it under his matt.
‘Hey stranger, hope that bully didn’t shake you up too bad and sorry if it seems REALLY stalkerish for me to follow you home. I was worried about another bozo bothering you. I don’t mean to stereotype but I see you and a few other nerds and business guys get shaken a lot in that area. Maybe take a detour? Best of luck ~ Sypke’
Tears began to roll down his face and he reached up wiping them with both confusion and anger. He really was the most stupid smart person; Spyke’s words. He wiped his tears and his heartbeat fleeted as he then heard the doorbell. Getting down he went to the door and wearily opened it without even bothering using the little peephole. His eyes fell upon a wolf-dragon hybrid female with arms crossed and piercing magenta dragon eyes. Her muzzle was pulled back as if she was scowling. But oddly enough he saw her demeanor transform likely from seeing his tears which he couldn’t stop. The female stood upright and lowered her arms and looked to him with a reluctant frown.
“Hey Toph, I’d like to have a word. My name is Yudy, I’m Spyke’s best friend and ex-girlfriend. I think It's best you let me in.”
