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

Morning sunlight slipped through the curtains.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhXjUfwpjE

Birds chirped outside the mansion.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPzt9XihXZ

I slowly opened my eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNOGM0pZbY

"...My head..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yl2q4LueK

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZYiErlSi3

I sat up and looked around.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48CxgEpg59

"...Wait."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXA6cl1ddg

"How did I get back to my room?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4WPoO4pQq

I frowned.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2dsHt8Xlp

Then...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafCXlyzwdg

Tiny flashes from last night began returning.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw70Ghhak7b

The party.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvmvpVMPNl

The caffeine.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qC0DjcMo8

Rei carrying me.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zhvfBFkgS

...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU4flY6VDw

...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP8t21b7YR

My eyes widened.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8w3DuNoNc

"...No way."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJBjYWqDgn

Another memory flashed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0U45WX5jP

I moved closer to him...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZoq2OzeDD

And—

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQfPHGmvvm

...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbTE9fBn4u

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJUmIS0Gbo

I buried my face in the pillow.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fEtTEnejH

"Did I really kiss Rei?!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyRaIbptW3

"Oh no..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm8EcA3Pad

"Oh no..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxO2rS9HG6

"I am never showing my face again!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR20CXK2FPS

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2rhNRNpYA

"Good morning, My Lady."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuimcDHU92

I slowly peeked out from behind the pillow.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQuj4RryfK

Rei was standing near the window.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCeJMjUqkL

Holding a tray with breakfast.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKDrqYleLY

He looked exactly the same as always.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lvlnHG7P1

Calm.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkHjAdyLgy

Elegant.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNnTrx7Lzg

Composed.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFbF2VIz7i

"...Morning..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kWLfjsQjl

I couldn't even look him in the eyes.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dt2Nxhp2C

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdoEgEfYpb

"You should eat."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH36J4XQmTn

"It will help your headache."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O5Dlknehz

"...Thanks."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63zXxrSaA3

The silence became unbearable.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK6lYX4THq

Finally...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARhp8lm7PK

I gathered my courage.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q8MpGeclS

"...Rei?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtSwWWqbHl

"Yes, My Lady?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG15hGlLV7g

"...About last night..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlJC3asRFx

He looked at me.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4pbNQjfTh

"I remember."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMCLEOKWjL

...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolS67K8Hen

My soul left my body.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPmOQxkXyi

"I-I'm so sorry!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgT0AomlTP

"I drank way too much caffeine!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Ou2LR3Dh

"I wasn't thinking straight!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4b3PUsSAf

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl9pHWQeZH

He listened quietly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdNimFwmvt

Then answered in his usual calm voice.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1unJFP1nt

"I have a question."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lp2rziAzU

"...What?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0NvEWDb1r

He tilted his head.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTyDlJ4MzZ

"When you kissed me..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0esnX4ETvK

"Were you expressing affection?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAbU9urn4R

I froze.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzDebd9iqN

"..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbQZwMDzBy

"..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrrSOm5hYW

"...Maybe."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA76GA0o0L

He nodded seriously.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoJxzMPChY

"I understand."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyExmrmpeu6

"You were following normal human behavior."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG7JyZ7Iac

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLF4rrGpyt

"Yes."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q05q7A15K

He paused.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqbI2dgfuu

"Therefore..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDb9PiHUur

"I have been researching how humans respond."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XkX2R4Sr1

He held up a tablet.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzSnNtEqwb

The screen displayed dozens of articles.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qRgPj7MoR

'How to know if someone likes you.'

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZPKRM1b7x

'Meaning of a first kiss.'

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4sIc9eIzt

'Love between humans.'

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17jRwecOdw

My eyes nearly popped out.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SiXfWZlY4

"...You researched all this?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZhgg5nABa

"I studied throughout the night."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMBAfITkF9

"You... didn't sleep?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt5ormQYCK

"I do not require sleep."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhCbow35CM

I covered my face.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9kFZYt2bz

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuCTQkzDcu

He blinked.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XzUealUyt

"...Dating?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW3EdpMyTE

"...Forget I said that!"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDhm1sBSEH

Before Rei could ask another question...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlxi6DTorx

A loud knock echoed through the room.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVvFJkCBG9

Knock. Knock.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7uBKG7nn8

"E001?"

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfiN7aUz4J

Mr. Z's voice came from outside.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iDYL0EDTd

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

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwUCpFwZ6n

"There seems to be..."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpdU551HSU

"...a problem."

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eqqCKJIi1

His tone was unusually serious.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQAd4797Gi

Rei and I looked at each other.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n2hOoBjTC

The awkwardness disappeared instantly.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF5Ex1mBFT

Something had happened.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdHfTFzwgt

And whatever it was...

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8zyyrpeBh

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