Rolling over in her sleep, Jennie opened her eyes and blinked slightly to find Rem laying in his own bed. She sat up and licked her lips as she found herself still staring at the boy sleeping under his bed sheets.
With a push, she got to her feet and abruptly tripped over something that was laying in the middle of the floor. Her face smacked into the ground while she felt a snap of her ankle then a sheering pain that flowed from it.
"Oww," she cursed as she found she had tripped over one of Rem's large shoes.
"Dammit. Can't he place them under his bed instead of flinging them around the room. And I thought he was suppose to leave them at the door of the house." Grabbing the shoe, she gave it a quick toss to his side of the room.
Standing up, she tried to step forward only to find her ankle ache and cause her to double over. A small growl formed in the base of her throat.
"Must of twisted it again," she muttered as she grabbed a hold of her bed and pulled herself up on it. "Rem!"
With a snort and a groan, Rem rolled over to where his back was to her. Biting down on her bottom lip, she caught sight of the other shoe of Rem’s. She reached for it and gave it a quick toss at the back of his head.
With a hard smack to his ear, he sat up with wide eyes. He looked to Jennie who was glaring at him.
"What the fuck was that for?!" he shouted as he rubbed his ringing ear.
"I twisted my ankle," Jennie stated as she lifted her foot up at him and wriggling her toes about. "It's your fault for having freakishly huge feet."
"Whatever," he mumbled as he scratched at the back of his head.
"I just need to wrap my ankle up and it'll be okay," she said as she tried to rotate her foot around then winced when she felt the twinge of pain. "I always twisted my ankle when I was kid. So it's nothing new to me."
"Give me a moment," Rem stated as he sat there, staring at her lap for a moment. It was then that he flicked off his sheets and stood up.
Jennie's eyes went wide as she stared at the only thing he was wearing, a pair of boxers. "Do you sleep often in just your underwear?" she asked.
"Yeah," Rem said with a grunt. "It's too uncomfortable otherwise."
Moving to the closet, he pulled out a pair of jeans and pulled the on. "Let's get you to the bathroom so I can wrap your foot."
"I can do it myself," Jennie replied.
"If you say so," Rem muttered as he headed out of the bedroom while holding onto Jennie and helping her down the hallway. "Today…us guys going to be training in the backyard."
"Us guys?" Jennie asked with annoyance.
"Yeah, Reiyl, Kasei, Janiston, Mirage, and that Nahele fuck," Rem said. "Janiston figured we ought to include the punk."
"What about me?" Jennie asked, hobbling beside Rem.
"Well, obliviously, you can't do shit," Rem growled as he headed to the bathroom. "You can sit and watch us sweat."
"Yay," Jennie muttered under her breath as she was deposited on the toilet and rolled her eyes.
