Chapter #6Go with Hilbert by: Unknown “I’ll go with Hilbert.”, you reply. “I think I just need to sleep it off.” you add, glancing down at the teen-in-question’s shoes every so often.
Hilbert nodded while Nate grimaced, before smiling. “Got it!” he replies. “I hope you feel better soon!” he adds before walking away.
You and Hilbert watch Nate leave, and when he finally turns the corner, Hilbert turns back to you.
“Alright, let’s get going.” he explains.
You follow him down the hall, you can’t help but look at his feet and notice the way he walks. Even with his sort-of standoffish nature and bored personality, he still walks with a small spring in his step, while also not seeming too upbeat.
Finally, you realize you’re at his room when he stops to unlock the door. As he unlocks it, you step slightly closer, waiting for him to open it. As he’s getting the key from his pocket, without turning to you, he asks, “Did you like what you saw on the way here?”
“What?” you ask, confused.
“I saw the way you were acting earlier.” Hilbert explains. “If you did enjoy it, I don’t care too much. Nate says I need to be more open to other ideas, after all.”
“Well.. in that case..” you begin. “..I guess I did enjoy seeing you walk as we came over here.”
Hilbert nods, and whispers, “Okay. Another one.” before opening the door. “Let’s head inside, then.”
———————————-
You step into his cabin, and notice.. it’s the exact same as yours. Bed against the wall, bedside tables next to the bed, dresser and desk in the corner, a bathroom off to the side, and a single fake plant in the corner. The only difference is a window on the wall, overlooking the sea.
“Mi casa es su casa, or however it goes.” Hilbert explains, taking his shoes off and placing them by the dresser
You watch as he takes them off, and.. No socks! You were right! But his feet.. have a smoothness to them, not too calloused but not too rough. A slight tinge to them, possibly due to the lack of socks on them the whole time.
Suddenly, Hilbert turns to look at you as you’re observing his feet, and he just chuckles. “Alright, I get it. You noticed no socks, huh? Well, Nate threw them out the window earlier, as part of his whole “new experiences” thing he’s trying to push onto me. Although i guess it’s working, since I got on this cruise and all.”
“He seems very energetic.” you reply.
“That’s not even the half of it. He even did the same thing you’ve been doing. Looking at my feet for days, until I finally asked him about it.” Hilbert explains. “When I asked him about it, he got all nervous and left saying he had just wanted to get closer to me on this cruise. I guess he wanted to touch them or something. To be honest, since that day I’ve wondered what it would feel like to have someone rubbing and massaging my feet. But now he won’t even let me talk about it.”
“Oh. Well, that’s too bad.” You sigh, taking a seat on his bed.
“..how about you?” He asks.
“What do you mean?” you ask, looking at him as he closes the dresser.
“You seem to also have an interest in my feet, so how about you do whatever you want to them?” Hilbert suggests. “I want to know why Nate was so obsessed with wanting to do that for a while, so maybe experiencing it would help me understand.”
You nod before you knew what you were doing, and Hilbert smiles.. “Thanks. Now.. I’ll sit on the bed, and you do your thing.”
You nod and stand up, so Hilbert takes your place on the bed, starting to flex his toes. “Go ahead.” he begins with a grin. “I’m waiting.”  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
