Natsuki stared after the tealette happily as he departed from his room; his heart filled with warmth and comfort. Tomorrow? If the visitor would be back tomorrow, he’d surely have just one more thing to look forward to tomorrow. He wasn’t sure what it held but now he could be certain it would be filled with radiant joy.

The next morning the blonde found himself up surprisingly early due to excitement for his soon to come visitor. The tender blonde propped himself up upon the mass of pillows behind up and turned on the TV that was mounted on the wall after discovering the remote that was attached to the bed by a spirally cord.
As he peered up at the brightly flashing screen, a smile pulled a crossed his lips. Ironically, a commercial for his favorite little duckling was playing; the little yellow cartoon pranced along the screen and the words of a familiar tune escaped the speakers.
In delight, Natsuki began to sing along.
“Piyo, Piyo, Piyooooooo~” the lyrics flew out of his lips with this fluent voice until a small knocking erupted form acrossed the room.
With raised brows, the blonde looked toward the door, “Ano… come in~” he replied over the singing on the TV.
The door swung open and Aine peered in curiously. He noticed the TV was on, with the same duckling mascot he was holding in his arms dancing on TV.
“Hello, Natsuki-kun. Did I interrupt you?"
"You look like you’re having a lot of fun,” he chuckled quietly and pulled a seat towards Natsuki’s hospital bed. “Is that Piyo-chan on TV?"
The tealette set his folder of assignments aside to a small table. His assignments could await a bit later. Although there seemed to be a lot of work, it was quiet easy for now. Aine held out the Piyo-chan plushie to Natsuki, smiling.
"I brought Piyo-chan back for you.”
