"Shig, Shig wake up." Mayu gently shook Morishige awake. The boy opened his eyes and looked around in a dazed state of confusion. He was lying on a sofa in a room he didn't recognise. Mayu was leant next to him with a bucket of cold water and a cloth.
"Where am I?" he asked trying to prop himself up.
"Please don't move." said Mayu, helping lie back down. "Don't you remember anything?" Morishige shook his head.
"No I don't remember a thing."
"Well…" Mayu began. "You came round to my place and we….." she blushed as she trailed off. She pointed to a can of whipped cream on a table. Morishige blushed as well.
"Well, I remember 'that' part," he said. "But then what happened?"
"We were…in the middle of something… and then you suddenly went very pale, vomited and passed out on top of me." Mayu laughed. "It was quite difficult to get to you because it took a while to untie the scarfs." She blushed harder. Morishige tried to get up again.
"No, stay there." She said, her voice becoming ever so slightly sterner. "You need to rest." Morishige blushed and smiled a little.
"Damn… you`re hot when you`re demanding." He said, flirtatiously.
"Shut up." She said, playfully smacking him with the cloth. "Aren't you normally the one who`s doing the demanding?" She nodded towards the whipped cream.
"Well you're the one who`s doing the begging." replied Morishige quickly. They both looked at each other, blushing. They both laughed.
"Now then," said Mayu, standing. "You stay there while I go make you some soup." She was about to walk out of the room when Morishige called her name.
"Mayu?" he called out softly. The girl turned around.
"Yeah?" she answered. He paused for a moment.
"I love you." Mayu put her hands on her hips and tutted.
"Well, durhhh." She said smiling and turning back to the kitchen. As Morishige watched her leave he thought of something. He did love her. He loved Mayu Suzomoto. And Mayu Suzomoto loved him too.
