Caramel lay sprawled out on the counter after a long session of teaching Ichigo how to make crepes.
"I think she's almost got it!" Vanilla tried to convince Chocolat that it wasn't a hopeless cause. The dark-haired fairy merely shook her head and sighed.
Cafe chuckled at their exchange. "I'll be going now" he bowed and flew towards the door.
"Hey wait for me!" Vanilla said flying after him, Chocolat following close behind. Caramel remained on the counter fast asleep.
When she woke up the whole world seemed to be spinning and everything felt hot. She could see a blurred face hovering over her. A soft cool hand was pressed to her forehead
"Caramel? Oh, you're burning up! H-hold on…." She felt herself being lifted off the counter, a feeling far different from the floating she was used to. Trying to put the world in focus only made her head hurt so she gave up only noting the faint coffee smell before her consciousness faded away.
Caramel slowly opened her eyes taking in her surroundings and realizing it was her room. She sat up, ignoring the protest of her muscles, she turned so her legs were hanging from her miniaturized bed. While scanning the room for Sennosuke she tried to float only to fall flat on her face. "Owwww…..Sennosuke? It hurts..." Pushing herself up and leaning back against her bed, she began to cry.
Suddenly the door creaked open "Oh Caramel! Are you alright? I'm sorry I left you alone." Sennosuke gently placed her back in bed and rubbed his thumb on her cheek. "I'm sorry I do have class today so Cafe's going to watch you."
"O-ok have fun" Caramel rubbed her eye and gave him a small smile.
Sennosuke turned to Cafe "You take good care of her ok?"
"Oh don't worry I'll treat her like a queen. She'll be the most comfortable fairy with a cold in the world!" Cafe bowed.
Sennosuke let out a small breath and smiled "Thank you Cafe." with that he grabbed his bag, waved to Caramel and headed to class.
straightening himself Cafe floated over to the bed pulling up a miniature chair for himself. "Would you like some tea?" Caramel nodded. "Well it's not my specialty but I think I can manage."
She shook her head "nnn mm Your tea always tastes good!"
"Really It's not to bitter."
"Even if it is all you need to do is add more sugar!"
"Yeah I guess that's true." Cafe helped her sit up and had her lean on the backboard of the bed. He handed her the tea warning her of it's temperature.
"Thank you." Caramel took a sip and smiled "It's good!" She looked down and swirled the tea in the cup. "Um Cafe?"
"Yes?"
"...Thank you."
"Anytime."
They talked for hours, played charades, drew pictures they even put on each other's outfits.
As luck would have it Sennosuke came back before they changed back. The fairies stared at him as embarrassment slowly crept onto their features.
"I take it you had fun?" Sennosuke put his bag down and sat at his desk. "You look pretty good Caramel, but i think you look cuter in your dress."
Caramel blushed and nodded. She waved her spoon in a figure eight causing magic dust to sprinkle over her and Cafe, returning them to their original outfits. With that Cafe flew towards the door.
"Thanks for all your help today." Sennosuke said halfway turning to the door with his forearm still on the desk.
"My pleasure." Cafe bowed, smiled then left the room.
