*Megumi's POV*
As Megumi, and the nurse entered the room, a boy in gym clothes comes running down the hallway, calling out for the nurse. The nurse comes back out into the hall to answer his call. "Nurse! The track captain just passed out!" "Oh, dear..." The nurse remarks. I'm sorry Imae-san, I'll have to leave to leave you at the moment, could you come back at a later tim- actually... Would you... Mind staying here and looking after Kuroki-san? The nurse says with a questionable expression. "Sure, I was just about to ask the same thing!" Megumi said with some excitement. "That's, great thank you Imea-san" I'll see you soon" the nurse says, as she leaves with athlete leading the way. Watching them leave she turns back into the office, to meet her small friend, "Kuroki-san?" Calling out for her kouhai, just as she notices her sleeping on one of the cots near the window. "Sorry, didn't know you were sleeping" she says in a hushed apologetic tone. Taking a seat next to her she watched over he kouhai, as she pulled a book out of her bag, her heart skipped a beat, seeing the bag of chocolates she had yet, given to her.
*Tomoko's POV*
"Such a...calming feeling..." Tomoko thought as she was held in the embrace. "I...I almost completely forgot that... awful dream..." Continuing her thoughts, Tomoko thought it was time to find out who this mystery person was. Finally looking up she was met with her sempai, completely lost of words, in embarrassment she tried to push her away. Successfully in doing so, she uncomfortably sat on the small bed. Seeing a slightly worried expression on Megumi as she spoke. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have done that, I was intruding in your personal space." Tomoko, feeling guilty as if she had hurt Megumi feelings, began to speak in an embarrassed tone. "No, no it's-it's okay... I...I'm just n-not used to that...stuff..." Avoiding eye contact she fiddled with her hands, not knowing what else to say. "This is really awkward..." Thought Tomoko. "Oh... It just seemed as if you'd seen a ghost, you really scared me waking up like that, are you sure you're okay?" Megumi inquired. Tomoko stopped playing with her hands
"y-yeah, I'm fine, I- I just felt a little sick is all, I'll be fine..." Megumi noticed the false calmness of her voice, but decided not to act on it. "Well, I'll take your word for it, but if you ever... If you ever feel like talking I'd be happy to listen." Megumi replied kindly. "Oh-okay..." Tomoko retorted awkwardly "Oh, I-I gotta get home soon, or my mom's gonna worry... Or something." Megumi beamed up "Well I missed my club activity's for the day, so I guess I should better get going too." Tomoko began to collect her things, but began to think. "Wait, I wonder if she's thinking what I think she getting at..." Right as she thought the words, Megumi beat her to it. As Tomoko turned back she saw something, very out of character for her sempai. An embarrassed looking Megumi is trying speak. "Hey... I... Was wondering...if..well, since you're going home now... I was... I just thought maybe... We could... Walk home... Together..." Tomoko stared dumbfounded as she heard this. "Holy crap, what was that, did... Did she just ask me to walk home with her, that was little much for just walking home, why she's so embarrassed, also that... Was...kinda cute... I'm mean... Not like that, it's just, because it's out of her
character ...right..yeah." Tomoko, ending her thought processes about Megumi's out of character behavior. Tomoko internally debated about Megumi's request, she found herself staring at Megumi as she seemed to avoid eye contact, and again just like this morning, she appeared to be...blushing.
Finally coming to answer, Tomoko stuttered "um...I guess...so". At this Megumi's eyes lit up widely and she put on big smile along with a soft audible gasp of excitement, this display excitement lasted only a few seconds before she attempted to "tame herself" followed by a few awkward coughs "Ehem... Yes, th-that's great" Megumi retorted trying to act composed, though clearly she was beaming with happiness right now. Tomoko, after seeing this display of excitement began to have second thoughts about this walk home...
