Harvest Town Yau Fic

Clarissa walks back to the patient bed and sits down in a daze. (What was that? I didn't even think Lee Yau was capable of that! He is always so disinterested in people. I mean ya there was that weird moment in front of his brother's house but it's not like there was anything behind that, I could tell it was just curiosity but this.... this felt different. He.... if I had continued, would he have stopped?) She shivered for a moment. "Clarissa." (That look in his eyes... Ive never seen that before...) "Clarissa?" Her hand goes up and her thumb traces her lips. (What does it feel like? ......what would he feel like...?) A sigh is barely heard and Lee Wah walks back to his desk. After a few minutes Lee Yau walks out and up to a still lost in thought Clarissa. When she doesn't even register he is there he chuckles and walks over to the desk, grabbing out a notepad. "She's been sitting like that since she came back out. Is everything alright?...

Just like normal Clarissa promptly wakes up at 6am. Lee Wah is shuffling down the hallway and takes a seat at the front desk. Groggily Clarissa sits up and holds her head. "Im sorry if I woke you, please get some more rest." Lee Wah says gently. "Ah you didn't wake me up, Grandpa used to wake me up at 6am sharp everyday, I just can't seem to ever sleep in. Where is Lee Yau?" She slowly asks, half dazed. "Yau is in his room, he took my shift last night. Normally he goes straight to bed after the Hot Pot. He must be tired." Lee Wah replies. "Were you here when Yau brought me in?" He shakes his head at her question, "I went back to the room to grab something, I was going to come check on you but Ching stopped me. She said it was best to leave you two youngsters alone." (Ching is still trying to set me up with Lee Yau? Lol.) Clarissa places her legs over the side of the bed and slowly stands up, Lee Wah walks over and examines her c...

"Clarissa! Clarissa! Lee Yau help!!!!!" Elly yells out. Lee Yau immediately turns around and runs over when he seeing Clarissa passed out on the steps. "What happened?! She was fatigued but it shouldn't have affected her this bad!" Ella shrugs her shoulders, "she just had a bite of the Fried Rice I made and passed out." In a rush Lee Yau picks Clarissa up, rests her over his shoulder, grabs hold of her legs, and starts running to the Clinic as quickly as possible. He lays her on the patient bed and fumbles through the tonics before grabbing a vomit inducing one. His thumb gently pulls at her chin to open her mouth, and pours a small amount of tonic in. A few seconds later she turns over with her face hanging off the bed and throws up on his shoes. "Lovely..." he says sarcastically. "Uggghh...." she groans and lays back on the bed. "Are you purposely creating work for me?" Lee Yau says with some sass. "If I didnt eat i...

Duke, Chris, and Bill arrive shortly after Lee Yau left Clarissa on the steps. Chris and Bill sit down near Clarissa as Duke stops next to Foxy and starts playing in tune with Jessie on his guitar. Chris is deep in thought but Bill turns to Clarissa, "Hey are you alright? You look pretty beat up, can I get you something?" As if on cue Clarissa's stomach grumbles, hushed by the sound of music in the air. "Umm..." she hesitates, (I not a big fan of Bill. It's not that he's a bad guy or anything.... if anything it is the opposite, he is WAY too good. There's gotta be something wrong with him....) she smiles politely, and replies, "no that's ok! Im doing just fine!" He nods back at her, "Alright! Just let me know if you need a helping hand!" Out of the corner of her eye Clarissa sees Ella adding something to the Hot Pot, (Oh no!!!!!!) "Ella! Hey what are you doing there?!" She says loudly and nervously. Ella pulls out an...

As Lee Yau and Clarissa cross the bridge near the graveyard they can see a light and hear the sound of a violin in the distance. "Hmm hmm hmmm hmm hmmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmmm" Clarissa hums with the tune of the melody, "I love Jessie's music, she plays so well. Even though she plays the same song everytime it never gets old. Everything about the Hot Pot just warms you up." Lee Yau remained silent, listening to her words and the music up ahead. "Ho ho ho~ my my my, perhaps I should start stocking more flowers for the lovebirds? They are quite active this year~" Clarissa looked past Lee Yau's arm to see a grinning Foxy staring right at them. It took her a moment to realize what Foxy said and a blush creeped across her face. "We are not lovebirds! Lee Yau is just helping me because I was injured!" Clarissa yelled. Lee Yau stared at her quizzically, not understanding why she suddenly said this. "Oh dear I must have been talking about m...

Clarissa managed to avoid all the rats and hobbled back to the Clinic. It was 5:30pm when she walked inside and collapsed on the floor in front of the desk. Lee Yau quickly stood up and went to her, concern clearly shown on his face as he looked at her many scratches, cuts, and scrapes. Her hair was tustled and she was covered with dirt. He sigh heavily in aggravation but didn't say a word. He lifted her up onto the patient bed, she was too weak to protest. Immediately he went to the sink and wet a towel, the first thing he did was clean all the dirt off her. Once she was cleaned he grabbed antiseptic and dabbed it on her wounds. She winced and jerked a bit at the stinging sensation, and he softened his touch to a light pat, his eyebrows still knit together in silent frustration. Luckily none of her wounds needed stitches, she had been blessed for sure. In some areas he applied small bandaids and in others he had to wrap around bandages. It was 5:50pm by the time he finished and he...

When she got to the Mines she had an eerie feeling that something was watching her but nothing was there when she looked around, so she hopped down the hole anyway. Every direction she looked it was rock, rocks, rocks, and more rocks. (Whelp might as well start digging!) She thought as she took a pickaxe to the direction she assumed was north. She sang a little song to pass the time as she worked, "your love is, like radiant diamonds~ bursting inside us, we cannot contain~ your love will surely come fiiiiiiiind us, like blazing wild fires singing your name~". Slowly she started coming across ore, (oooo that might be helpful! Ill take that!) Pretty soon she amassed quite the collection of Copper Ore, Stones, and Silver Ore. (Weeeeyuu man it's getting late, it's almost time for the Hot Pot and man Im getting hungry I better find the exit). She walked around for a bit, walking back to the place she came in but still finding no exit. (Uh oh I forgot to tie a rope. What do...

The next day the Mayor came to the house, he stated he had a large errand for Clarissa to run. Some noises were heard around the nearby mines and he wanted her to investigate. She agreed. Before he left he turned to her and said, "Oh! And dont forget to bring a gift to the party Friday!" He said with a wink. (Oh I almost forgot about that! Hmm looks like Im going to need to pick up potions and a gift....) She thought and she turns to Peppe, "Peppe it might be dangerous today so stay home and guard the house ok?" Meow! She hears back and he purrs against her legs. "Now now be a good boy, I don't want you to get hurt!" She picks him up, kisses his nose, and sets him down on the bed. "Bye!!" After tending to her crops she decides to go to the Clinic for health potions. When she walks in Lee Yau is at the desk drinking coffee. "Good morning." She says. He looks up at her briefly and gives a short reply, "Morning." He looks at ...

The next day Clarissa chopped up some Green Carp and made some Sashimi, she ate a few and placed the rest neatly in a bento box. Peppe tried to make off with the box a few times but she quieted him down with his own snipbit of fish and put the bento in her pack. "Peppe stay home and guard the house today." He meows at her and rubs against her leg then jumps on the bed and curls up into a little ball contently. She heads out to her farm, stopping to water and tend her crops before heading over to the Clinic. "Oh good morning dear!" Ching chimes as she sees Clarissa walk through the door. "Good morning Ching, good morning Wah." The elder doctor nods in response. Lee Yau's seat is empty. "Where is Lee Yau?" She asks. "He's back in his room, probably reading. He reads most mornings unless I send him to take food to his brother. Head down the hall, his is the door in the very back." Ching replies. Clarissa walks down the hall to the ...

Two weeks went by, Clarissa mostly stayed on her farm and anytime she ventured out and came across Lee Yau she promptly turned in the other direction and quickly walked off pretending to not have seen him at all. Lee Yau on the other hand was visibly more irritated at work, griping at people more than normal. After repeatedly gabbing a quivering, yelping Andy with a needle and missing Andy's vein Lee Yau had enough and frankly so did Lee Wah who kicked him out of Clinic promptly. He marched right over to Clarissa's farm. Clarissa was on her bed, she had still forgotten to give Peach back her book and the bottle that she "stole" from Justin. She thumbed through the book absentmindedly until she came across this sentence: "No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to bear it....

As the hours go by Clarissa sits on Lee Yau's words, thoughts coming and going in her mind. After some time she hears rustling in the men's locker room again and determined to not have anymore unexpected encounters she briskly gets up and leaves to change. Filled with new energy  she decides to conquer her farm, she heads home and immediately starts chopping and hacking down all the weeds and trees. Soon a wide clean clearing sits before her and a smile breaks out on her face. (I guess the next thing I'd need to do is plant some crops.... I better go buy some seeds.) She heads back into town as the sun goes down. Pushing open the door she is immediately greeted with the smell of tobacco. A light haze covers the room and a woman with dark red eyes, white hair, and fox ears and tail stands behind the counter. "Ho ho ho. My my, such a sight. I haven't seen you here in quite some time." Foxy piped, gracefully taking her tobacco pipe out of her mouth. "I need ...

6am like clockwork Clarissa wakes up, she had always been like that, no matter how late she went to bed she always woke up at 6am. (I still cant seem to shake this habit.... Grandpa you really instilled in me to rise early to do much work. Oi... I feel barely rested. Hmm maybe Ill go to the sauna today, I could do with a little soak.) Clarissa sat up and Peach's book fell into her lap. (Oh that's right I gotta return this...... well Ill just give it back to her tomorrow, she won't mind). She thumbs through the book for a few hours and comes across a small sentence that stands out to her: "Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." She snorts, (aint that the Truth!) and closes the book. She throws it at the foot of her bed and gathers her toiletries and towel, she walks out the door pausing to take a deep breath before heading towards the sauna. As she walks into town Clarissa notices the...

It was early evening when Peach went home. Clarissa started cleaning up the bowels, pot, and chopsticks when she noticed a small book on the floor. She thumbs through it a bit, (Peach must have forgotten this). She stops on a random page and begins to read: "Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant,  is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (Hmph... love... I wish a love existed like that) She closes the book and places it on her bed. (Ill take that back to Peach tomorrow). After finishing the dishes, Clarissa eyes the leftovers. (Should I....? He did take care of me, he didn't even charge me. Maybe I should take him some....) She takes out a small bento box and fills it with the Seafood Fried Rice, covers it and walks outside. It was a s...

An aroma of spices and jumbling wakes Clarissa up abruptly. Alarmed she looks around and up at the doctor holding her. "Ayyyyeeeeee!!!!!! What are you doing?!??!?!?!" She screams as she smacks him across the face. Startled he almost drops her but he quickly regains composure.  "Please refrain from violent behavior, I was just carrying you home." He whispers calmly despite his clearly agitated, red hand printed face. "Put me down!!!!" The blushing girl yells with force. He lowers her legs to the ground, she tries to stand but starts to stumble. Quickly he wraps an arm around her and pulls her to his chest. "Be careful!!!! You just got out of the clinic idiot!!!" He exclaims. Her eyebrows bunch together at his words. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT?!" She screams back as his other hand covers his left ear. He glares back at her, "Are you going to shut up and let me help you or would you rather fall and crawl home?" There is a mome...

Told from the perspective of the MC in their youth (not time traveling).  A glimmer shines into the eyes of a sleeping girl by the stream. She knows she is supposed to be fixing the farm but figures any day is a good day to relax. "Sleeping again? Won't you ever learn to take better care of your Grandpa's farm?" An old man says as he hobbles towards her with his cane. Clarissa opens just one of her bright green eyes to look at him. "I still haven't decided if I want to stay here, why would I put in all that work if Im just going to go to the city?" She replies with a big yawn and stretch. "Surely there must be something you like about this town?" He says, peering down at her from underneath his hat. "Hmph like what? The same old people, same old shops, and a run down factory?" The old man winces at Clarissa's words. "Ah Im sorry Mayor, I got into another fight with that arrogant doctor yesterday. He called me a waste of time ...
