Chapter 5 (Epilogue)
I head the door slide shut and slowly opened my eyes and glanced at the ceiling, 'I didn't know… I got no clue that was how he felt. I always thought…'
I sighed, 'I shouldn't have pretended to sleep. Now what am I going to do now? How should I treat him?'
I turned to Kana's picture on the shelf, 'I'll think about it tomorrow.'
.
I woke up groggily and smelt something burning. Got on my clothes and went to see what it was.
I got to the kitchen and found Ayame there in a flowery pink apron. There was black smoke coming out of the toaster, pans, coffee machine, 'My kitchen…'
He sneezed right into whatever he was cooking.
I sighed.
He turned and said cheerfully, "Ohayou gozaimasu, Tori-san."
"Ohayou," I said noting the snoot on his face.
"I'm making breakfast. It should be reading in…10 minutes," he said cheerfully before sneezing some more.
I decided to pretend yesterday didn't happen. It was much easier for both of us this way, "Lets go out and eat."
"But, I'm almost done. I got seaweed, tofu omelette on the frying pan, French toast in the toaster, and - achoo!"
POOF!
I looked at the white snake slither over to me, "…"
"Tori-san. I guess it's your turn to look after me and take care of me until I get better, ne? I'd like you to know, I like to eat sweet stuff but nothing fattening because I got to watch my fig- achoo- gure, so if you're going to make me something to eat I'd prefer you use low fat…"
'This is going to be a long day…'
The End
