Just as weekdays before, I woke up to the bright light and the buzzing of my alarm clock going off. As usual, I got up and washed up and got dressed before making some breakfast, a bit lost in thought the whole time, looking forward to the day ahead of me. Although, nothing particularly exciting in mind.
As I was putting together something to eat for breakfast, I started to think about Saturday morning and a slight blush crossed my face. I had to shake the thought out of my head as I looked at the clock, being a bit late already. Quickly I eat and shove everything into my bag before leaving my place.
I practically speed-walked to campus, attempting to avoid the large crowds of students on the way. Thankfully, I was quick enough to get to school before most of the students had arrived which gave me a small sigh of relief. I walked into the building and through the halls to my desk and small work area only to find Shouta and Hizashi talking in front of my desk, blocking the way.
"Good morning Shouta, Hizashi." I greeted with a small smile and they both stepped aside to allow me access to my desk.
Shouta was the first to speak up, "Morning, you are later than usual," He commented.
"Yeah I got here before you, and I'm late most mornings," Hizashi stated with little shame, almost seemed to brag. Maybe that was because today he was actually decently on time.
Either way, it made me chuckle a little bit, "Yeah…I guess I was zoning out a little this morning. Maybe I just didn't get enough sleep." My attempt to play it off as a lack of sleep didn't seem to work well enough with Shouta as he leaned a hand on my desk and looked at me.
"If something is bothering you, talk to me," Shouta said quietly to me with his usually serious face. Even though he always tried to look so serious, when he said stuff like that it always made me smile.
Hizashi silently huffed at the interaction but quickly snapped back into himself, "Don't stay up so late, listener I mean I know you want my wonderful voice on the radio to lull you to sleep and all, but it's probably not the best for your health. After all, I wouldn't want you to get sick of my voice." The toothy grin he always gave reappeared, including talking with big gestures.
I couldn't help but smile at both of their concerns for my health, and it made me almost blush even when they have given me the same attention before. "No, no! I'm fine, really. Thanks for worrying about me, I really appreciate it," I held my hands in front of my chest and waved them slightly, speaking a bit nervously.
Just then the bell rang and the two men looked to each other, knowing that needed to head off to class. "See you at lunch." They both seemed to say in unison as they walked off before turning to each other briefly, but faced the way they were walking soon after. Shouta held up a hand as a wave and Hizashi turned slightly and waved goodbye. I, of course, returned it with a smile and wave.
After the pair were out of the room, I turned to my computer and logged in, ready to start my day off. For most of the morning, I was very productive, getting most of what I wanted to get done done. Although the one time my mind started to wander and I zoned out as I stared at my screen, there were a few knocks on my desk. By about the third one my brain snapped out of it and looked toward the source of the knocking. To my delight, Toshinori was the one knocking in front of me.
"Oh, morning Toshinori. I was really focused on work I guess." I say as l look up at the tall man. He was dressed in his usual oversized suit. It was always a bit cute about how his clothes were always so big on him.
His weak smile was always so adorable, "Good Morning. How are you feeling after this weekend?" He asked, probably wondering if there were any lasting effects of drinking that heavily on Friday night.
I smiled a bit, "Ah I'm feeling fine. After a couple of days of just relaxing, I feel perfectly well." My continuous thoughts of the man right in front of me made my mind drift again. Once I realized my lack of focus, I slapped both of my cheeks to snap myself out of it, "Ah thank you for your concern! I'm just a bit tired and am having trouble focusing today."
He seemed to chuckle softly for a moment before nodding, "If you are having that much trouble, maybe you should go see Recovery Girl before lunch. A little rest might help your focusing problem." Toshinori suggested as he picked up the small stack of papers he must have set down when he first walked over. "I have to go prepare for a class, I'll see you at lunch."
Toshinori left with a smile and a wave, wandering down the same hall Shouta and Hizashi walk down every day in the morning. I return both the smile and the wave while I consider his suggestion. Maybe I should go visit Recovery Girl to just rest a little before lunch. Most of my work is finished excepts for one of my bigger projects, but I could always work on that outside of work.
After an hour or so of debating what to do, I email my boss and head down to the nurses' office when I get the okay to. It was rare for me to come to this part of the school. The only few times I had were when running errands for teachers that asked me to bring over printouts, or something they had forgotten. I take a deep breath before opening the door to the office.
