If I could rearrange the alphabet… fourteen of twenty-six;
Nurse; in the haze of fever, dreams are dreams are reality are dreams.

Confusion.
Dark, light.
Swimming. Dancing. Floating.
Boy. Girl. Laughing. Hands.
A whimper. Clutching for something that wasn't even there in the first place.

This was what my world was like whenever I was sick; complete and utter chaos. I counted myself lucky I didn't fall ill more often. This time, it was a virus Ami had brought home from kindergarten.
Ami, who had only suffered from an afternoon-long uneasiness and a miniscule fever.
Amu, who was already bed-ridden for three days.

Ami, Amu, Ami, Amu, Amu, Amu, Amu, Me? Ami, Ami. Ami. Friend. French.
.
Baguettes. Cobblestoned streets. Berets. Memories. Of whom?

Startling, unexpected moments of lucidity.
Where's my homework? I'll get behind. Yaya, Rima, thank you for coming. Are you going already? I'm not sleepy at…

All. Everyone. You and me and him and her and them and us.
Who is Us? Us is You and Me.
Words mingling. Blending into each other.
New structures, incomprehensible.
Woven so tightly together, fingers prying, get tangled up.

Coolness.
Sweeping past my forehead (mine? mine.), seeping up the scorching heat.
It leaves something like clarity behind, and I open bleary eyes.
Through my lashes, a curtain of something purple. Covered shoulder. Slender neck. Focused face. Worried eyes.
Another brush over my forehead. But different.
Softer. Smaller. Drier (chapped, even?). Just a little bit warmer.
My lips twitch, and so do my eyes, and I start closing them again.
A mouth moves, and it is something like -
Be better soon, Amu. It's time for you to wake up.
- but I'm not entirely sure and I sink back into a vast sleep.

When I wake up, my head feels clearer and I wonder why I dreamt of Nagihiko in a soft pink nurse's dress.

Last chapter, I forgot to change the summary before I updated. It bothers me, because I'm a perfectionist about silly points like that.
Other than that, writing like this is epic. Too bad I can't do it all the time.

Thanks for reviewing, SDM (No problem! I kinda missed typing your username, so welcome back! Amu says some good things, hm?), NadeshikoEverdeenHimeSama (yes, it's about Nagi and Amu finding an opium plant on an uninhabited mushroom and get high :) Now I'm just kidding xD I hope you do! Hm, nice song, I like it :D I was in a weird mood 8D love you too :P), NadeshikoNagihiko95 (you are! For that, if you want, I'll write a request oneshot for you. 8D thank you very much, I really appreciate that ^^), Kyeru (excuse me while I go laugh my head off XD (I didn't laugh to death.. just really, really hard) Dora in Chinese, hahaha! Lol, I'm sure you'll get over it ;) you're the MAAAAAP! 8D), Mizumi-cham (thank you! I'm really excited about it :D just keep writing dear, look how long it took with me!), and Niki (who doesn't even bother to login anymore) (Thank you! I wanted to write something less bubbly for once, so in came Nagi's pensive side! Really? I wonder if you'll change your mind about that when all the chapters are up.. – because there's one I also like a lot in the coming future XD)

Next chapter; O stands for overstepped!

I believe R&R doesn't stand for Read&Run, but for Read&Review!
So don't R&R, but R&R ! (:
(next updated scheduled at: 16/8)
