While on the toilet seat, Duo thought over what happened these past hours. He tried to join a girl for dinner, she draws his inner demon out accidentally, he ended up going on a killing spree, she shot him just enough for the demon to fall back, she dragged him to a hospital, and now he's getting treated. 'Damn, that is a lot... Today is like a chicken being stuffed with stuffings that doesn't even look tasty, but it's actually pretty good once you roast it!'
Duo paused. Thinking examples to describe his day with food means that he's hungry. Duo is always hungry, if he's not running around, then he's eating gracelessly somewhere. At the thought, he remembered where the cute nurse worked at in a cute lolita waitress outfit. 'Rio Nunez. I just HAVE to get there soon. Cakes and teas and cute girls are waiting for me~!!'
As he thought about that, Rika's suggestion to bring in Milly with him there on a date echoed his mind. Immediately, Duo held his lower face with his hand, staring intently at the blank space in front of him as his face slowly grows red. 'A....date.. W-will she even go with me to a date...?' Thinking about it further, it just made Duo all the more flustered.
"Aaaahh! Screw it, I'll wait for the perfect moment, and then I'll ask her!" He announced, wondering if he should bring her flowers or a large box of chocolates to apologize to her properly before inviting her to a date. 'Or! Maybe I shouldn't say its a date... Yeah! Just...casually invite her for a snack there if we ever stop by in Evnae~!' Nodding at his perfect plan, Duo then finished his business and staggered out of washroom.
Taking another 15 minutes to reach his bed, he downed the water Rika had gave him and then slowly laid down on his bed and stares at the ceiling. He took another long moment to contemplate what happens if he fell asleep, afraid if Solo comes out, but he can't even hear Solo inside his mind for a long whole right now, meaning that it's safe to fall asleep.
He closed his eyes peacefully, and slept soundly without any problems for a few hours.

Around two in the afternoon, Milly began to stir due to the sound of a medical cart passing by the room she was sleeping in. She slowly opened her eyes and yawned quietly, covering her mouth as she did so and leaned on her back. She sat up slowly and looked around the room she was in, suddenly remembering the occurrences that brought her there.
Milly let out a small sigh then felt for her purse that was around her shoulder and pulled it onto her lap. She looked over the contents of her purse, making sure everything she owned was there, then let it fall back at her side again. She then turned to the side and climbed off the bed.
Milly noticed a door in one corner and headed towards it, peaking inside, glad to find out it was a bathroom. She did her business then washed her hands. When she finally left the room, Milly located the water fountain again and drank a bit of water from it. She then turned to the direction of the room Duo was in and headed towards it.
Milly peaked in slowly through the door and quietly entered as she saw Duo sleeping, carefully closing the door behind her. She walked quietly towards the chair that she was in earlier, her eyes watching Duo to make sure he didn't stir awake too soon. She then carefully sat down in the chair and looked up, releasing a quiet exhale.
She sat a bit straight and watched Duo for a bit, thinking over the previous night's events with a cold look on her face. The expression on his face looked so peaceful, she thought, quite different from the goofy grin he had on before or the wicked one that was shown when Solo had taken over.
Milly carefully stood up again and leaned over Duo a little bit, careful not to wake him as she got a closer look of his face and formed a very slight smile. He almost looks attractive when he's sleeping. She thought, amused a bit, before moving back into her chair and releasing another quiet exhale and she leaned forward. She placed her elbows on her knees and rested her chin on her fists, looking straight forward.
Her eyes glanced towards Duo again as she thought of last night, looking down as she questioned herself on why she feels the need to be over defensive with every new male she meets. She grew up around men, so it should the the opposite, right? She smiled slightly as she thought of the way he moved the fries to ask her permission to speak and almost chuckled at the thought.
The smile fell again into a cold stare as she looked down, thinking about Duo's full introduction and explanation of Solo again. Made to be born? She pondered as her eyebrows shifted inwards, disgusted at the thought of people creating children for the purpose of using them as soldiers the way they breed cattle for food and milk.
Milly's country was a small one that often remained more on the sidelines of war, at least in her lifetime. She only really participated in one or two small wars with her troops as more backup for a neighboring country. Most of the work her father's military did in her country was closer to that of police work, working to maintain civil peace within their borders.
A tyrant... She thought, her eyes looking over at Duo again. It almost sounds too far fetched to be true... The soul of an evil tyrant possessing his body... I almost couldn't believe it... if I hadn't seen what I did... She looked back down again with a glare on her face. Duo should have no reason to lie to me about something like that after everything, though...
Milly let out a quiet sigh and closed her eyes after that, her head still facing down a bit. There has got to be a way to get rid of Solo then... If there are people with the power to implant spirits into others, then there should be people able to remove those spirits... At that reassuring thought, Milly sat up straight again and looked back at Duo with a slight hint of a smile on her face. I won't give up until I find that person either.

Ever so carefully, Duo slowly opened one of his eyes, his lips curving up to see her directly looking at him now and opens his other eye. Chuckling a bit, the man suddenly asked "Did I look cute when I was sleeping?"
Delivering a wink to the lady, Duo then grinned wide as he slid his elbows under him and slowly pushes himself to sit up. Settling himself near the bedpost, the lad then leaned himself on it, but with slight difficult since his hair is loose and he's practically sitting on some of his hair now.
"Owowow. Ow. Crap." Tilting his legs a bit, Duo tries to pull his extremely long locks from under him. After he succeeds, he left his hair hanging over his left shoulder lazily and smiled over at Milly. "Good afternoon, pretty lady~" He greeted cheerfully, simply just happy to be waking up with someone beside him.
He heard her entering his room since a while ago but decided to fake his sleep and just listen to what she's doing. It pleases him greatly to feel her leaning close to him earlier, but then he heard her sigh and just silent wakes up while trying to look as natural as possible. As tempting as it is to call her out that she's staring at him so closely before, he didn't want to embarrass the girl.
"Have you eaten?" He asks off-handedly with a shrug, trying to start off a normal conversation with her for once. "And out of curiosity, do you happen to have something elastic that I can tie my hair up with?"[/b]

Seeing Duo's eyes open and a smile forming on his face, Milly's expression fell. Then, at his question, she tried to fight against a blush threatening to spring up on her cheeks. She turned away at that, maintaining her straight face. "Not really." She answered as she tried to then pretend like she had turned to check for something in her purse.
She looked back at him when he was expressing pain and sat a bit forward in her chair, concerned, until saw he was just moving his incredibly long hair out from under him. At what he said next, Milly's eyebrow twitched, feigning annoyance instead of letting herself blush at such a way of calling her. She wanted to tell him not to call her that, but it was less embarrassing than the stupid thing he had tried to call her at the diner, so she decided to let it go so as not to bring down his mood.
Milly sat back in her chair and let out another small breath of air to calm herself from getting flustered, looking away for a moment, then back at him again, her eyes resting on his long hair. She was about to ask him about it but he had spoken up first. She looked at him then shook her head. "No... I just woke up a bit ago..." She began to look towards the door as she thought. "I'm not sure if there's anyplace in here to get food or if I'll have to go out to find some place." She looked back over at him again after that. "I'm not particularly hungry right now anyway, but if you want, I'll go look for something."
At Duo's next request for an elastic, Milly cracked a small smile. "Yeah.." She responded, then went into her purse again and pulled out a small, black elastic. As she handed it towards him, her face relaxed but neutral, she thought to ask the question she was wondering about now. "Why do you let your hair grow so long?"

It is so frigging adorable to see Milly doing her best to hide her expression from him, to the point of turning away and checking her purse too. Duo is fighting a loosing battle with his grin, he's grinning so widely now, it's just so hard to stop.
Even after she turned back to him, he's still grinning that widely. It amuses Duo how fun it is to make her blush, it's like a daily quest for him, and if he were to achieve that goal successfully, then the sight is more than enough as the prize.
In hearing her response if she had eaten, Duo nodded, but then when she offered to find some food, he raised a hand to signal her to stay. "No, silly. I don't mean it like that. I'm not a very smart person, alright?" He almost laughed as he tries to explain this to her, "When I ask you a question, then I just want the answer to that question, there is no other hidden reasons concerning if I'm hungry or not. I was just making sure if you are."
Chuckling lightly, Duo shook his head. "I'm a very straight-forward person. If I'm hungry, I will tell you. Right now, I'm not, so just stay. Okay?" Sometimes he can't understand how humans work, both of how they think and how they feel. It's easier to just speak out what you want, because Duo honestly doesn't get it if people expect him to understand something that isn't spoken out.
When Milly said that she does have a hair band, Duo's eyes lights up. "YES. Milly, you are my savior..!" His hair is very important to him, so he excitedly holds out his hand for Milly to hand in the item. "Sweet! Thanks!"
As quick as he got the band, Duo had successfully fished out his favorite comb from his pocket, and then almost automatically began combing his hair that's sprawling everywhere over his shoulder now. "Oh wow, you're interested in my hair now? Hahah."
Laughing a bit, he then explains while busy taming his mane, "When I was a kid, I accidentally cut myself with a pair of scissors. No idea how it's so traumatic, but I refuse whenever the priest offered to cut my hair." He laughed again at the memory, all the while as his hands are busy combing his hair.
"A nun there offered to braid my hair, she said it made me look special than the others, like I have my own identity." He smiled wide at Milly at Milly as he ended his explanation, "I like being different and special. Heh..sorry if it sounds stupid."

At Duo's answer to her response of whether she's eaten already, Milly simply watched him explain himself. As he continued explaining that he's straight forward and will say he's hungry if he is then told her to just stay, Milly smiled ever so slightly. "Okay." She responded.
Milly had to hold back from chuckling as she was called his saviour simply for having an extra hair band in her purse. As she handed it to him, she smiled very slightly still. "It's just a hairband, Duo. It's not that big of a deal."
Milly's eyes immediately caught sight of a comb he had in his pocket. Of course he'd carry something like that around, she thought amusingly as she nearly had to force her smile to remain very minimal. A light hint of pink crept onto her cheeks as he pointed out her interest but she tried to cover it by saying "I was just curious, really. Most guys don't grow their hair out so long."
At the explanation Duo offered, Milly's expression turned more and more into that of confusion as she wondered how such a small thing could make him so insistent on keeping his hair long. "So... you've never had it cut since then?" She questioned, thinking about how long it might possibly grow if he never cuts it again. "You realize that one day, if you don't cut it even a bit at a time, you won't be able to keep it from dragging on the floor by braiding it, right?"
Milly's look softened a bit as he went on about the nun who braided it and how it made him special and like he had his own identity. She thought back over the past he had told her of and a very slight smile began to grow on her lips again, though with one eyebrow tweaking down and the other raising as she tilted her head a bit. "No, Duo.... It doesn't sound so stupid after all..." She said with a slight smile at him.

Duo goes on with his overdramatic responses once Milly had given him her extra hair band. "A hairband. Or anything relating to hair. Is SERIOUS business." He said in a manly voice, mustering his own face to look serious as he said so.
Duo managed to whole that face until he was forced to look down and finally leaked out a large smile, refusing to face her. It kind of hurts if he laughs, and looking at Milly at this exact moment to see whatever her expression is, so he decided not to look at her now for the sake of his weak body. Just for this moment.
When Milly asked her if he'd never cut his hair since then, Duo looked up at her with wide eyes. "What? Noo~ I mean... I trimmed my hair a bit, how else do I get my bangs?" He ran down his fingers through his bangs as he said so, then flicked his head to the back, resulting his bangs to skimmed in the air a bit. "Tell me my hair is fabulous."
He chuckled lightly, trying very hard to hold himself back from laughing so unrestrictedly like how he used to. "If my hair got too long till it touches the floor, then I guess I'll either roll it a bit behind my head or just cut it to the length it currently is now." Flashing Milly a big grin, he continued combing his hair effortlessly, getting rid of tangles quickly.
"Say Milly, can you imagine what I look like with my hair cropped short?" He suddenly asked, getting a bit of that curious glint in his eyes. "Will I...really look so normal that I won't be special anymore..?" The words of that nun had been forever been ingrained in his mind, Duo knows this, and he needs a new set of words to be remembered alongside the nun's.

Milly looked at Duo with an incredulous expression, rather baffled by how he's making anything that relates to hair to be so serious. She let out a small, singular chuckle, cracking a very slight smile at that. Even though Duo was now looking down, she still raised a hand to cover her slight smile as she watched him a moment then finally looked away.
Milly wanted to slap a hand to her face for the question she asked, not realizing right away that he must have gotten over his fear somewhat since he does indeed have bangs, as he pointed out. Her expression just looked a bit blank and strained before looking away a bit. "Right... Well, good..." She said a bit awkwardly.
When he said to tell him his hair is fabulous, Milly held in a small incredulous laugh, jerking only slightly forward, and simply looked back at him again with her eyes a bit wide. As she saw him chuckling, one of her eyebrows tweaked down somewhat as she thought about this strange person in front of her. Nearly everything that came out of his mouth seemed to surprise her in some way.
At his further explanation, Milly just watched him quietly then let out a small sigh. She closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly for a moment, then opened her eyes and glanced towards the door. When he called her name again, however, she looked back at him with a questioning glance.
Surprised at his sudden question of how he'd look with his hair really short, one of Milly's eyebrows tweaked up while the other tweaked down as she looked over at him. She found the image hard to imagine for a moment. He would probably look quite different, she thought, but not entirely familiar to how he currently is. She was a bit surprised by her own thought for a moment. Despite long hair being strange on guys, this one in front of her almost made it seem normal.
At Duo's next question, Milly was brought out of her thoughts with her eyes widened a bit at his question. She then slowly formed a small smile at him, eventually letting out a small chuckle and looked down. "No, Duo... I think you're unique personality is far more strange than your long hair." She said, showing a small, slightly strained smile at him again, almost as if both complimenting and criticizing him.

'Awkward girls are super cute.' Duo grinned to himself as he watches Milly looking a bit unnatural of the topic of his bangs. It's just seriously so cute, Duo had to bite his tongue a bit from voicing that fact out.
He enjoyed watching every single reaction from Milly that it's almost like he's addicted to keep spluttering out whatever silly things in his head just to see how she reacted to it.
Duo beamed a ridiculous smile as Milly began to imagine how he'd look with his hair short, staying still as he waited patiently for her response. He was getting giddy as he waited that he kind of bounced a bit on the bed.
He actually squealed once Milly said that his personality is actually better than his hair. "Really?!" Duo's eyes could almost be seen as gleaming and sparkling somehow as he asked that, that huge grin on his face just doubles the effect.
Strange equals to good in Duo's head and he's absolutely delirious to hear Milly said something like that. But then he suddenly paused whatever he's doing, his face expression froze for a moment and then the boy doubled over in obvious pain.
"Ow, ow ow, ooww..." Duo muffled on his bedsheet now that his face is against it. "Pain sucks..." he mumbled, "I can't even show that I'm happy, blaaahh.." Then he pulled his upper body up and leaned on the bedpost with a frown. "Man, how do girls go through this every month..damn."
Sighing almost in a depressed state, Duo took a moment to understand what just spluttered out of his mouth, and then his eyes lit up, darting dangerously towards the only female in the room. Although Duo doesn't seem to be interested in the human body since he preferred the mechanics within a robot more, he was certainly curious of how the female body works. Mainly because...well, he's a man, he's supposed to be curious.
"SO uh... I..never really got a sister or a girlfriend to explain to me these things so um.." His metallic blue eyes kept averting away from Milly as he tries to form a sentence, and as he curled his lower lip in his mouth to bite a bit, Duo finally faces Milly back with a slightly colored cheeks. "How can girls even walk when they're practically bleeding from the inside...?! Does it hurt that bad?? And what's the difference between tampons and pads..??"
There is absolutely no shred of sensitivity in his questions nor his tone of voice. An old man who's cutting the grass outside even paused what he's doing and looked strangely at the window where Duo and Milly are.

Milly looked at Duo with a shocked expression over how excited he got due to her comment. "Eh?" She let out, surprised at how excited he got when it wasn't even meant to be much of a complement. It was more her calling him strange, but also saying that the strangeness suited him. Duo's excited expression reminded her of that of a child's.
Just as her expression almost cracked a small smile, Duo suddenly doubled over in pain. Milly's expression turned worrisome and she leaned forward a bit, reaching her hand out but paused it just short of touching his shoulder as he spoke. She moved her hand back towards herself quickly as he then sat back up, still looking at him with a worried expression.
At what suddenly came out of Duo's mouth just after that, a look of embarrassed shock sprung from her eyes. Her cheeks began to turn a bit pink and she sat up straight in her chair again, turning away her head so her hair would cover her face a bit. "...What.. kind of statement is that...? Baka..." She uttered quietly, embarrassed and not willing to look back at him right away.
Milly flinched ever so slightly as he began to talk again, her face blushing even more red as he went on saying he never had anyone to explain such things to him. Her eyes opened a bit wide at the first question. With his progressing questions, her cheeks grew redder and her eyes widened a bit more. Milly's hands were tightly pressed together in her lap, almost fidgeting a bit with discomfort at the embarrassing questions.
After a moment of considering his ridiculous questions, Milly finally let out a heavy sigh. She lowered her head so her eyes were facing her lap again, unwilling to look back over at Duo yet. Her eyes looked a bit nervous and her cheeks were red, but she hoped her hair would still be covering her face enough with her head lowered so he couldn't see it that well.
"...It's... Not that... dramatic..." She said a bit quietly and slowly in response to the first question. Milly then took in a deep breath and finally sat up straight, leaning back in her chair. She crossed her arms and forced an annoyed look on her face as she faced a bit away with her eyes closed. Her cheeks were still blushing, but she tried to look annoyed enough to cover that. "It's just a natural occurrence in the female body. The uterus spends most of the cycle preparing an inner wall that would help to protect and nourish a fetus. Then, when nothing happens, it simply flushes out that built up inner wall." Milly explained in her proper full voice, hiding her embarrassment behind her annoyed exterior.
"Some girls may feel a lot of pain, whereas others may hardly feel anything at all." She explained to answer the second question. As she considered the third, then, her cheeks began to blush more and her eyebrows knit together in further annoyance trying to counteract her own blush. "Mou!" She finally exclaimed loudly as she stood up and faced away from him. Her arms remained crossed, but her eyes opened as she looked at the corner away from his bed. "Why should I even be explaining these things to you?"

Duo sports the largest curious eyes to have ever graced the earth as he waited for Milly to respond to him. Those were the biggest questions he always wondered about, yet never had the chance to properly ask someone about.
By the smallest sign that she would answer him, Duo's jaw began to loose down and slowly he's body unconsciously is leaning forward in excitement. "'Simply'? 'Simply flushing it out'? Are you KIDDING me? Doesn't that hurt like hell?! That's like getting your skil pilled off from the inside!"
Wincing as he explain his version of how Milly's explanation sounded to him, Duo held the side of his head with one hand, a horrified expression fixed on his face now. His eyes are facing downwards as he imagined how it would feel like, missing to see Milly's embarrassed blush and annoyed exclamation in the end.
When he pulled up his head to look at Milly, the hand that holds the side of his head fell on his comforter over his lap. His expression had changed completely, from being stricken with horror, to something resembling awe and amazement.
"Girls are amazing..." he breathed out, seeming as if he had come to some kind of divine revelation. Shortly after that, Duo blinked, now that he realized Milly's not sitting on her chair anymore but is now standing beside his bed.
Lifting his chin up to meet her eyes, he smiled at her appreciatively. "Thanks, Milly. I've been wondering that for the longest time, ahahah!"

Milly couldn't bring herself to look at Duo at the moment after saying such embarrassing things. She simply stood there, facing away from him with her face blushing red and her arms crossed and tense. She tensed a bit more, her shoulders seeming to hunch up slightly, in embarrassment as Duo exclaimed against how she had explained it.
"...Baka..." She said a bit quietly, still not daring to turn back towards him. "No matter how it sounds... it's a natural occurrence... Which means, our bodies evolved to do this..." She said a bit quietly still, feeling very embarrassed but still attempting to hide it.
At Duo's next remark of girls being amazing, Milly blushed even more in embarrassment, not daring to show that to him. She'd almost wanted to make a comment in response to that, but found all her words stuck inside and she couldn't say anything.
Her muscles finally showed signs of relaxing as he thanked her. Slowly, her muscles relaxed and she managed to get her blush under control and pull her expression back into a more neutral face. A faint smile was present, however, along with some residue colour from her blushing. As she relaxed enough to lower her arms to her sides, she slowly turned back again so her body was facing the bed but her head was turned to face Duo.
Feeling embarrassed still from that topic, she didn't look at him long before facing away again as she felt a blush creeping onto her cheeks again. "I'm.. going to get a drink of water. Do you want some also?" She asked him, glancing back only to get his answer.

Duo was grinning all the while at Milly, who's turned away and not even looking at him. When she ended what she said how girls bodies are evolved into 'this' in her words, Duo dropped his gaze low to her foot and slowly back up, passing every feminine assets with interest.
"Don't blame me for asking, we don't have girls in my place~" He stated the reason too casually, still checking her out quietly until she she slowly turns her body towards the bed and her head towards him. Seeing this, he quickly retained back his eye-contact with Milly with his natural disarming smile.
She said she wanted to get a glass of water and Duo immediately lightens up. "Oh! Can you bring only one cup so we can share an indirect kiss?!" ...That came out automatically. Must be his joking reflex.

Milly's expression twinged as he said they didn't have girls where he was from. She wondered if that was due to the genetic engineering of children for war. Her face began to drop into an almost sad expression before pulling herself out of it.
After offering to bring a second cup of water for Duo, she was caught off-guard again by a ridiculous suggestion of bringing only one to share an indirect kiss. Milly looked over at Duo with surprised eyes. A part of her almost started to blush but she became annoyed instead and faced away from him again with her eyes closed. "Absolutely not!" She asserted before heading out of the room to get two cups of water.
After leaving the room and reaching the fountain, Milly stopped and inhaled slowly before letting out a heavy sigh. She lifted her hands to her cheeks and rubbed them slightly, hoping to rub off the remaining feeling of blood that had seemed to pool there for a while since that awkward topic. When she felt satisfied, she let out another heavy sigh and lowered her hands. She then filled up two cups of water and carried them back to the room.
She entered with a neutral expression, holding the two cups. "Here," she said while handing a cup towards Duo while sitting back in her chair. After Duo took his cup, she slowly began to sip hers. The water was a nice relief from the embarrassment before.

"Eeehhh? Oh, c'mon~ We can't?" Duo called out to Milly's retreating figure from the door, and then he took in a breath to yelled it out, "I owe you a kiss for saving me, brave knight~!" He did not realized he yelled it loud enough for it to echo in the hallway, and Duo ended up laughing at that. He can already imagine the glower on Milly's face.
"Haaah..." He settled himself on the bed comfortably while heaving off a pleasant sigh. It feels nice to have someone who tolerates him like this, after fighting off Solo, no less. He wondered for a brief moment if he's ever going to find someone else like her in his journey. He plans to leave her soon, after what she saw and experienced, Duo knows it's best if he maintains distance from this girl. It's a very bad thing for Solo to take an interest about someone, and while she proved she can stand her own ground against the tyrant, it's not a very smart thing to expose her to such danger.
"Aaaahhh, this'll all be over if I can kill myself... I shouldn't let my body to heal up too much, it can slow down Solo's movements..." He pondered, a contemplative look had settled itself on his face as he thought about his possible options. Solo would immediately react if there's danger to his host, so even the thought of killing himself would just lure Solo out. Fortunately, Solo is unresponsive at the moment, so Duo has some time to think through things seriously. Sleeping is another thing, and Duo often wondered if he should ask around those in the magic field for any kind of rejuvenating potions so he would be awake at all times. Unfortunately, none of it could permanently replace the energy that came from sleeping. Bad disruptive thoughts is his other common worry, and he can't allow himself to wallow in any negative emotions to avoid--
His thoughts were cut short by Milly's voice, and Duo jolted from his pensive thoughts and sat up with a smile. "A-ah! Hey! Hi! Oh, yeah, thanks..!" He took the cup and watched her retreating to her seat. Duo rests the cup near his stomach, on top of the sheets that covered his legs. After a moment, his smile slackens. "Listen, I'm only going to say this once while he's still unresponsive."
When he raised his eyes to meet Milly, the metallic sheen in his irises looks almost cold. "Solo has singled you out. He will definitely try to kill you. So please, don't look for me. Don't find me. I'll be out of your life when I'm healed enough to walk." His stony expression befits that of a soldier he was meant to be, and there is absolutely no trace of his usual mirth anywhere on his face. "Do not feel responsible for this. Do not feel sorry for me. You absolutely must not stay close to me."
Warmth returns in his eyes almost immediately after he's done saying that, but his lips stayed frigid, as if holding himself back from reflexively bouncing up too quickly. He needs to make Milly understand this, "You must stay alive. I like you, so you have to live. Do you understand?"
