Daiki opened his eyes and his hands immediately flew to the sides of his head. His head was throbbing painfully. He winced while trying to get up. His whole body was aching too. He attempted to remember how he had gone home last night but failed. His current headaches were killing him. Finally sitting up, the towel that was placed earlier on his forehead fell onto his lap and he stared at it. Feeling weird, he glanced around the room. The walls of the room was in a light shade of blue and the door was in the door was sin the color of white. The study desk was in the colour of wood and the things were placed neatly. Then, it hit him. He wasn't back in his own house, own room. Just as he was asking himself tons of questions, the door suddenly opened and all his questions were immediately answered.

Amu carried a tray of breakfast to the guestroom. Everyone had gone out early in the morning to work. however, Amu stayed behind and woke up earlier than usual to cook porridge for Daiki. He was having a high fever last night and she had to tend him by changing the towel almost every half an hour. It had forced her to stay up late in the midnight and caused her to feel tired due to the lack of sleep. Upon reaching the room, she shook herself up and gathered all her energy. Pushing open the door, she found a pair of eyes staring directly at her.

 

 

"A-ah, ohayou," Amu greeted nervously as she walked over and placed the tray on the side table. Turning around, she saw Daiki holding onto the towel.

 

 

"Ano..I'll help you get a change of the towel. In the meantime, please do eat the porridge. You were having a very high fever last night so I guess it's better if you eat bland food," She said quickly as she took the towel from Daiki's hand and walked out of the room in big steps. Althought Daiki didn't get a chance to ask her anything yet, he was pretty sure that he's currently in her house.

 

 

"You were having a very high fever last night so I guess it's better if you eat bland food."

 

 

Her voice rang in his head and his eyes glanced upon the bowl porridge on the side table. Slowly, he reached out to grab the bowl and took the first bite.

 

 

"Umai! It's good despite being just a bowl of plain porridge," he thought and continued taking the second bite. After he had finished the porridge, he placed the bowl back on the tray and waited for Amu to return. Few minutes later, Amu entered the room with a bucket of water and a towel in it. She placed the bucket of water beside the tray and churned the towel dry before placing it on Daiki's forehead.

 

 

"It's cold!" Daiki exclaimed, almost jumping up. Amu let out a small chuckle.

 

 

"Lie down. If not, the towel is going to fall off again," She instructed and Daiki obediently followed. Then, she proceeded to bring the tray out first and came in again to bring out the bucket. Just as she was about to leave the room, she heard Daiki mumbled softly.

 

 

"Ne..arigatou.."

 

 

Amu immediately found herself blushing. She shook her head, indicating that he was welcome and quickly left the room. Daiki smiled and closed his eyes which he slowly drifted off to sleep again.
