A/N : Hwaaa, this is the worst! I've not updated for a week! I've recently been losing ideas and because of that I can't continue. Else than that, my homeworks are going through hell!

I know sorry isn't enough, and make up for 7 chapters I left isn't enough either. Furthermore, for this week and the next week, I'm going to face more and more homeworks that should be done in short amount of time everyday. I really apologize for being late, (again), but I really really promise that I'm going to make a special chapter when I'm done with my works and have some relax time ( around 65-70th chapter)

Well then, just please enjoy :)

Chapter 52

Drowsy

Being slept after midnight wasn't a good idea, of whatever we did before, either watching some TV programs, doing homeworks, or everything else. The impact was quite evident when sun had risen on the horizon.

As known as the most courageous boy, Daisuke was seldom to be found not having a spirit to start his day. He slipped off the bed after having his time to fight with his own laziness, grabbing some towel and taking a shower just in a second. Those were made the things worse because his eyes couldn't get even a tiny focus of his breakfast.

He had just thought about absent for the school today, but imagining Takeru and Hikari's face without him around made him grunt. His trademark goggle hanging around his neck ; he didn't wear it because he wouldn't show up with his sacred goggle when his state was like that.

The mahogany-haired boy ran passing some crowd, but not as agile as he was. So many times he bumped with the bystander and streetwalker, yelling – or technically squealing – his apologize, which almost could not be heard even by himself.

Proceeding to his class, he reluctantly put his bag on the table, and later sat down while resting his head on it. His eyes, again, betrayed his will to study as they began to close, not realizing that the teacher had come in. Luckily, Takeru's hand was quick to slap his back rather hardly, causing him to get a moment of surprise, widening his eyes to take better view around.

All over that day, Daisuke just hoped that the school would soon be ended. And yet, being caught in mind thinking like that always made time flow very slow, which made him growled silently. As far as he could gather today, he was lucky because none of the teachers gave a task to be done today.

"You should wash your face," Takeru suggested, in which got a nod from Hikari.

"I've tried, but no use," the goggle-boy replied flatly and spun his head back, facing the window. He could see clearly that the sky was dark ; rain would soon pour down, and it would make his sleepiness became worse.

And as he expected, rain poured down the entire city with no sign to be ended, even when the school's bell rang three times, meaning that the school was over.

Daisuke was almost asleep at the last subject. His eyes squinted, trying to catch some glimpse of his friends. Takeru kept his stare on him, as he could see in front of him. The blond was worried if Daisuke got asleep in the class. Hikari was standing beside him, her fingers gently traced Daisuke's back, which made him quickly open his eyes, a flash of light went inside his sight. His vision blurred for a while, until it adapted and he could see perfectly that the three of them were the only ones that left in the class.

"Let's go home and you can get some sleep," Hikari said softly, helping Daisuke to stand up by tucking his right arm, while Takeru at the other side.

"The rain has just stopped. We should hurry, because I think it will be rain again," Takeru said, and the three of them went out the class.

Daisuke was often stumbling on the way. No matter how much he tried to, his feeling to go to bed was dominating his mind. Even that both of his close friends were with him, he hadn't even thought for a second to talk with them.

As he reached home, he quickly opened the door and slammed it close. Throwing his bag away, he jumped hardly to the bed. Flipping his phone to check the time now, he managed to set alarm too for the dinner.

However…

When he opened his eyes, ray of fluorescence light welcomed him well, as he squinted his eyes to adjust the light.

He stayed silent ; was he dreaming all of that? Or…

Checking his phone once again, he let it slipped through his grip.

It wasn't a dream.

The truth was, he was asleep, from yesterday's evening until this day's morning.

From the count of time of his sleeping time, it should be enough to shake off the sleepiness coarsing in his nerves.

And it was true ; he felt better and ready to go to school, as his own self today.
