atatakami:

           <sub>Narrowed irises of aquamarine. She had not invited him to sit with her. Nervousness and hesitation in the reminder that she had not been expecting company — thus she’s clad in only a tank top with no undergarments beneath, two arms crossing along her chest to conceal what may be considered inappropriate. 

            ” I’m not sick. “ Instinctively she scoots away not even a centimeter, fingers gripped to the ends of a bed sheet. She would like to be able to get up and turn on the fan that sits in the corner of her room, rush of cool air against her skin, but naturally she cannot with him there.

            ” Ah… Kaito-kun. I’m … “ A pause and a tug on her blanket to perhaps make it known she wishes to free herself from the confinement that has become her own bed. Minutes prior, it had been a haven. How ironic. “How do I put this. I.. was not expecting company, so — “</sub>

     _{❄~ “It’s not like you to skip work without telling anyone.”}

_{Especially Ito, of all people. If the manager doesn’t know where you are, that implies something, doesn’t it? But, first and foremost, the elephant in the room should be addressed.}

     _{❄~ “Should I, um, wait outside for you to get dressed?”}

_{He has no intention of leaving when he’s sure that something is wrong, but he’ll exit the room while she gathers herself, if she so wishes.}
