"…mnh…"

Mokou shifts a little under the warm blanket, curling into herself more tightly before her eyes slowly open.

For a moment, she looks around confusedly, not recognizing where she is; then she remembers last night, and rests her head back on the pillow as she closes her eyes again.

Oh, that's right… I came back here with Keine, she thinks to herself, mind still clouded with sleep. What time is it…? She's probably gone by now…

"Ah, are you awake?"

Mokou opens her eyes to see Keine standing over her, wide awake and ready for the day.

"Oh… It's earlier than I thought, then," the immortal girl mumbles, voice still thick with sleep as she rolls onto her back. "I thought you would be gone before I woke up…"

"No, I'm just on my way out," the silver-haired woman shakes her head, kneeling beside her friend. "How are you feeling?"

"Ngh… Better, I suppose," Mokou sighs, starting to wake up more fully. "My arm still really hurts, though. I think it's still broken…"

"You should probably go down to Eientei, then, and have Eirin look at it. You could pick up some more medicine while you're there."

"Yeah. I'll probably do that in a little while."

Keine smiles faintly, reaching to tuck a few stray strands of Mokou's hair behind the white-haired girl's ear.

Mokou feels her fingers lightly brushing against her cheek.

"There's breakfast in the kitchen," the were-hakutaku informs, standing back up and brushing off the front of her dress. "Make sure you eat before you leave, alright? I'll see you after I'm done teaching."

"Alright," Mokou nods slowly, bringing her left hand up from under the covers to wave goodbye. "Later, Keine."

After Keine leaves, the immortal girl brings her hand to the side of her face.

She can still feel where the silver-haired woman's fingers brushed against her skin.

…what the hell is wrong with you? she scolds herself, frowning. It didn't mean anything! Look at how ridiculous you're being, seeing something that isn't even—

She cringes suddenly as pain shoots through her right.

"Oww…" Mokou groans, slowly sitting up as she reaches over to hold her right arm by her side. "Okay, enough worrying about that for now. I should get up and ready to go to Eientei…"

Mokou kicks the blankets back, slowly standing up and stumbling into the kitchen.

There's a bowl of okayu sitting on the counter, with a spoon next to it.

You didn't have to do that for me, Keine, the white-haired girl chuckles faintly, leaning against the counter and picking up the spoon with her left hand. Thank you…

As she quickly wolfs down her meal, Mokou can't seem to keep Keine out of her thoughts.
I really, really like writing these short chapters. For this kind of story, I think it works well, and it’s easier to get my ideas out.
