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

Morning sunlight slipped through the curtains.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yqGXyGAAP

Birds chirped outside the mansion.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vIyu8wKsd

I slowly opened my eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4kOyakpu8

"...My head..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2WfUjLIGx

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfBa0dzeHU

I sat up and looked around.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rjCKAXemC

"...Wait."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMYn1nXmRH

"How did I get back to my room?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXYgRblnIu

I frowned.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNZi1uE5hV

Then...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd0DCXRBY7

Tiny flashes from last night began returning.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSoAHjiHM3

The party.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gta4kpvRj

The caffeine.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sOeNSDXHh

Rei carrying me.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxh7MG2DOu

...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74xHtS3HA9

...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNInofD0Cvq

My eyes widened.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRadJkqfrL3

"...No way."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ZtX80rhx

Another memory flashed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq92yqCT4y

I moved closer to him...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yisAwAAVE

And—

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwFSivKwQT

...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQaOCMhSI

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡberz3HktJp

I buried my face in the pillow.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Yslc1p2u

"Did I really kiss Rei?!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3QKoOrUYQ

"Oh no..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKZzMLhiHd

"Oh no..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRI9c4ED6x

"I am never showing my face again!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar2kLjoPlo

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1IO2ev4gb

"Good morning, My Lady."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4HyfTO2vo

I slowly peeked out from behind the pillow.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLMh3JmeXx

Rei was standing near the window.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN08KT7aVdx

Holding a tray with breakfast.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGarTOMf4Ab

He looked exactly the same as always.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmTlXmqNuY

Calm.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7l27DWSUX

Elegant.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgIUw3uBp1

Composed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pQb6Ai0g8

"...Morning..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngC9cmndj5

I couldn't even look him in the eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N5tKlRmTR

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuEXRxRx75

"You should eat."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM2wGQqlU5

"It will help your headache."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4BMpf0CTA

"...Thanks."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl02iXUIkXP

The silence became unbearable.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMqc4SIGWL

Finally...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC9wVpCxg1

I gathered my courage.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizklCZqDTR

"...Rei?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC4RIly86w

"Yes, My Lady?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSBIiMsvbP

"...About last night..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBCshDw5UR

He looked at me.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDam7BE9nan

"I remember."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf1fK4yCqi

...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeogSDD2o9

My soul left my body.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3vdcSuPRf

"I-I'm so sorry!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIoBmnQWnw

"I drank way too much caffeine!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFzaw4Cjjh

"I wasn't thinking straight!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aly3DxUZC

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WOtyMFPCA

He listened quietly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEca5vyFgc

Then answered in his usual calm voice.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRXtmPUqqs

"I have a question."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrGq8uWirD

"...What?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jbIPjQER5

He tilted his head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUmqF1oevH

"When you kissed me..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DxukF5DvJ

"Were you expressing affection?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNXTph0moH

I froze.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpwQ9mJ7bI

"..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyAijNNGh3

"..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgylwQzADHg

"...Maybe."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF8m4eF52U

He nodded seriously.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5A2rKumFz

"I understand."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ626lFew9XM

"You were following normal human behavior."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmeIQqaBXo

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDMtgjspYg

"Yes."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqUAtxVUIG

He paused.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvkht9NzBB

"Therefore..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy0osff9PD

"I have been researching how humans respond."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2ToIO90K2

He held up a tablet.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yW54DWfrS

The screen displayed dozens of articles.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdDJbcMENa

'How to know if someone likes you.'

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeEd8KNlcp

'Meaning of a first kiss.'

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSWEAXoRPL

'Love between humans.'

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrabTRZNpqS

My eyes nearly popped out.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OuE8nEB2A

"...You researched all this?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yNKO4D92H

"I studied throughout the night."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aY7ihBMBF

"You... didn't sleep?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj1tfC2Iz4

"I do not require sleep."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtDzvBp2kL

I covered my face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEcthWayqo

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz8UzxCHaV

He blinked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JcuGqR29a

"...Dating?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mBnI07haK

"...Forget I said that!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAglsMFtiE

Before Rei could ask another question...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQUaJbJiDQ

A loud knock echoed through the room.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJSECRfSyD

Knock. Knock.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tGqWAZXDF

"E001?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt95QWNrKoN

Mr. Z's voice came from outside.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQziICch2SJ

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCU9wu6g25

"There seems to be..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV6k4hNZcb

"...a problem."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHUYXq4W2x

His tone was unusually serious.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcR8Rknvjo

Rei and I looked at each other.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUfVCoruNE

The awkwardness disappeared instantly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx6jOTHrdY

Something had happened.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uBdmvgFOU

And whatever it was...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgvfbQlcr6

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