At around 8 a.m., Haru groggily opened his eyes.
"Morning already?" Haru muttered lazily, gently nudging Kasugano Sora, who was nestled against his arm.
"Come on, Sora, we need to get up and head to Hozumi Academy to handle the transfer paperwork today," Haru said softly, still feeling the weight of sleep pulling him back into the futon. Even as he tried to wake her, it was clear that Haru himself wasn't quite ready to leave the warm cocoon of blankets.
"Just a little longer..." Sora mumbled, clinging to him.
The warmth of her embrace made Haru sigh in contentment. School could wait; sleep was much more appealing. He surrendered to the temptation, snuggling back into the futon and relishing the moment.
Time slipped away unnoticed.
By 10 a.m., the bright sunlight streaming through the window stirred Haru awake. He slowly sat up, carefully tucking Sora in with the air conditioner blanket, setting the temperature to a comfortable 27 degrees before quietly slipping out of the room.
