ARCHIVED HEARTS - Good morning......... MY LOVE?

Morning sunlight slipped through the curtains.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhIblLRVJb

Birds chirped outside the mansion.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTJuBnY2u2

I slowly opened my eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErecf4B9DJ

"...My head..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU21FZcf4Wl

"It feels like someone hit me with a truck."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPmxxdXFH

I sat up and looked around.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF0V5EKmlv

"...Wait."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpSaQVsBOG

"How did I get back to my room?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKMfpgmWDL

I frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqaddTHWfx

Then...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkRcA4zgWp

Tiny flashes from last night began returning.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPJBZ52RlB

The party.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYrByGdcVt

The caffeine.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRugldxBRWV

Rei carrying me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlxNKqQTNW

...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJvFa729of

...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjcgbmXm9e

My eyes widened.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeBqyjX3AY

"...No way."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE42jPRqHsz

Another memory flashed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd6nS0Rf6n

I moved closer to him...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VCFeBRwdD

And—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOMnrgNYR9

...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor1o3pYGOW

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNjkyhAycd

I buried my face in the pillow.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtFjwZox3U

"Did I really kiss Rei?!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpnUlgKckX

"Oh no..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKOvv6y9nF

"Oh no..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI0UYIAd3A

"I am never showing my face again!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB9imCyyao

A calm voice came from the other side of the room.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaGisgoiVl

"Good morning, My Lady."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnndg3lxUM3

I slowly peeked out from behind the pillow.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgN0H7jwEW

Rei was standing near the window.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE5la6MWW4

Holding a tray with breakfast.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbiW7hIaZ9

He looked exactly the same as always.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmZpg0U5Fp

Calm.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmhpZChJso

Elegant.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ87wFOcOCV

Composed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4F8hg1r9o

"...Morning..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhfCaGALpZ

I couldn't even look him in the eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlpVtwJaqR

He walked toward me and placed the tray on the bedside table.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXjIHgEmed

"You should eat."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1gX3C3aBb

"It will help your headache."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs7jhyONgS

"...Thanks."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YeFj0mvgd

The silence became unbearable.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmge18mXr1b

Finally...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARzWy551cs

I gathered my courage.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaDvLYXUWj

"...Rei?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipABeYS4N4

"Yes, My Lady?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFUpx1v4hX

"...About last night..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteanZxVYuO

He looked at me.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMhQA75PG

"I remember."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsSZr7DqWE

...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9o8SGaHEE

My soul left my body.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpGvY1WYm0

"I-I'm so sorry!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk0M4dfihc

"I drank way too much caffeine!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKSPeWsbcU

"I wasn't thinking straight!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2tjb7jiAm

"I didn't mean to make things weird!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPf8PCHj3o

He listened quietly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0BtbIwdYI

Then answered in his usual calm voice.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUjLD9OIHm

"I have a question."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70OTxpS8yG

"...What?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ir9KNh1q1

He tilted his head.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb81EWT3la

"When you kissed me..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMs4SCeUR

"Were you expressing affection?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnZ9ycJhOI

I froze.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsa75kPGdr

"..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLGcNJMflz

"..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjx3QNlwDO

"...Maybe."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKd7ZUsN9X

He nodded seriously.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoblzK19kL

"I understand."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ889FWKjONJ

"You were following normal human behavior."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL6Eyq8NTa

"...Wait, that's your conclusion?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZeJZ0VNoP

"Yes."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuadiRVE3iq

He paused.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyKLNhLrRi

"Therefore..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHzEC4KIZY

"I have been researching how humans respond."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyjjWKsnLj

He held up a tablet.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dkh5pDCl1

The screen displayed dozens of articles.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1804zqemu9

'How to know if someone likes you.'

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGXsQCHC4t

'Meaning of a first kiss.'

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5m4zqdLxt

'Love between humans.'

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4uwHlfZd9

My eyes nearly popped out.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14H12BSVwc

"...You researched all this?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgiLDvdUCP

"I studied throughout the night."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KMkwP7gVu

"You... didn't sleep?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjubEn7jUJ5

"I do not require sleep."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkobZpwiljz

I covered my face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKBf8iBh76

"...I'm dating a research paper."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLXLVk6C35

He blinked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTfoWbBg2t

"...Dating?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx4dTIKGws

"...Forget I said that!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYTNUDC9TV

Before Rei could ask another question...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglmP5JITLw

A loud knock echoed through the room.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe5oh1MbgD

Knock. Knock.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZOcHPUUKL

"E001?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Au9M0KAKX

Mr. Z's voice came from outside.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaLeFEcTOt

"I need both of you in the main laboratory."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIYzSLDJDv

"There seems to be..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw242K7Rg8

"...a problem."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq7CwVwGpV

His tone was unusually serious.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3giSUX6Jct

Rei and I looked at each other.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCZuApWQHT

The awkwardness disappeared instantly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzUlD3adx7

Something had happened.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuQymhzgk5

And whatever it was...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTIyW6vWV5

It was important enough to interrupt the first peaceful morning we'd had together.
