Lin and Mai Switch. Chapter 6
Once everyone leaves the base, Naru turns over to Mai and speaks.
"If there is any activity please alert me." Mai nods her head in return. When she turns back to the computer, Naru walks out of the room. As the night drags on Mai wonders if Lin gets any sleep, but it's only been three hours since everyone went to bed. Mai saves the report she was working on and stands up from the desk she was sitting at. When she steps into the little kitchenette to make some tea for herself, the door to base opens. She jumps in fright, but when she recognizes her petite body, a smile comes to her—Lin's face.
"Would you make me some tea please? I can't sleep for some reason." Lin asks, walking up to her. Mai turns away from him and starts making the tea. Once the tea is made Mai hands it to Lin. He takes it with a small smile on his—Mai's face. Mai takes a seat next to him on the couch.
"How do you stay awake through out the night?" She asks. Lin takes a sip of tea before speaking.
"Well, I drink a lot of coffee and eat energy bars." He explains.
"No wonder you're so moody all the time." Mai says.
"What? I am not moody."
"Hm. Are to."
"Are not."
"Are to."
"Are not."
"Are sooo moody!"
"Are not."
"Are to!"
"Are. Not."
This goes on for about ten minutes before Mai finally yawns.
"You should get some sleep. We have a lot to do in the morning." Lin tells her. Mai yawns again.
"What about you? You need to rest too." She speaks sleepily. Lin just shakes his head.
"I'll be fine. Now sleep."
Mai puts her head on the couch pillow and falls asleep quickly. Lin stands up from his position on the couch and walks to the chair where his suit jacket is at. He grabs it and walks back to the couch, draping it cover Mai. Once Mai is covered up, he steps away from her so that she can get some rest. When Lin opens his computer, he could see that Mai was working on the report for Naru. Lin begins to type up the rest of the report for her. Then his shiki begin to speak.
"Master Lin." His first shiki calls. Lin stops typing for just a moment to answer his shiki.
"What is it?" asks Lin.
"Well, we were all wondering why you can hear us when you are in Miss Mai's body..." confesses the fifth shiki. Lin ponders his shiki's words before answering.
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure myself. But I learned not to look a gifted horse in the mouth. Just be glad that we can still communicate." Lin says. After he finishes the report, he stands up to stretch out his aching muscles. When he hears a popping noise, a pleasured sigh comes out of his lips, He walks to the little kitchenette and makes himself some coffee. He finishes his drink, and he walks back to his laptop and starts on his home work assignment. Throughout the night you could hear the tap-tap of Lin's fingers on the keyboard.
The next morning Mai wakes up to see Lin typing on his computer. When he notices that Mai is awake, he hands her the duffle bag that has all of his belongings in it and ushers her out of the room. She finds that Naru is waiting for her when she returns.
"I want you to go get some groceries for a week. Take Mai with you; she is the only person who knows what everyone likes." Naru orders. Mai walks up to the desk to grab Lin's keys. Once she has them, she turns around and steps out of base with Lin right behind her.
