Chapter Text
Namiko drifted slowly awake, blinking blearily and looking around.
“Oh, Namiko-san.” Kisaragi was there, leaning over her bed with a smile. “I'm sorry, did I wake you up?”
Namiko sat up, rubbing at her eye and sniffling as politely as possible. “Mm, it's alright. I've been sleeping too much today.” She was a little embarrassed that Kisaragi was here to see her all sickly and rumpled like this, but hey, they'd known each other for almost a year now; she supposed they were at the point where they didn't have to keep up appearances around each other.
“I thought I'd stop by and keep you company for a while. You were asleep, so your mother asked if I could bring some tea in for when you woke up.” She gestured towards the mug sitting on Namiko's bedside table. “Still, I'm sorry I woke you.”
Namiko looked her up and down. Kisaragi was still in her school uniform, frowning in earnest concern.
It sent a warm glow of happiness through her to think that Kisaragi had immediately come to visit, even after texting back and forth all day.
“Hmm? Namiko, are you alright?”
Namiko smiled, then raised her hand to stifle a cough. “It's nothing. Thanks for coming to see me.”
Kisaragi blushed and fidgeted nervously, and Namiko gave an internal sigh. She really has no idea how adorable she is, does she?
