Natsuki looked over Aine with raised brows and curious emeralds with a soft nod to his answer, “I look forward to the next time we can sing together!“ he said with a small, giddy chuckle. The blonde leaned over the side of the bed slightly to look over the paperwork Aine held on his lap, “Ah, I have work to do for my senpai as well~! Hehe, but for now he just wants me to focus on getting well again.”
The blonde glanced back up at the tv that no longer flashed the yellow blob that was the blonde’s favorite little character but looked back at Aine with the mention of his room mate as a big smile returned to his delicately, innocent features, “Ah! Piyo-chan is so famous! I’m so glad that someone enjoys Piyo-chan like I do~!“.
But Natsuki paused as Aine stared at him with a rather perplexed expression, “ah… is something wrong, Aine-chan?”
And then the shorter, tealette spoke and questioned him. Blinking for a moment and staring with a lost, almost shocked expression before bringing back his innocent smile, “Because, you’re making the effort to keep me happy and support me while I rest here and get better, Aine-chan,“ he said quietly before releasing another giggle into his unwounded fist, “and Aine-chan is cute like a little mermaid!” he said, holding out his hands to reach for a hug.
The blonde began to lean forward to embrace the tealette but caught himself as he felt a sensation of falling and scooted closer to his sea of pillows that he rested on. Natsuki let out a chuckle, “I can’t make myself worse now, eh?“
"Be careful now, Natsuki-kun,” Aine murmured softly, holding one arm out in case Natsuki would fall.
“I guess that’s a good reason to be happy,” he said thoughtfully, taking in all of Natsuki’s words. It was strange, he only met Natsuki yesterday, and yet they already became close.
He smiled softly back at the blonde, before realizing another thing.
“Your senpai… Are you working at Shining Agency also, Natsuki-kun?” Aine blinked in surprise. However, it shouldn’t have been unexpected, seeing how this hospital was close to Saotome Gakuen. There was a chance any time he would bump into another idol outside of the school grounds. The tealette suddenly remembered their conversation from the first day.
“Is your senpai Mikaze Ai-kun?”
