"I like the view"

"E-eek! P-pervert!" Chou squeaked turning to pull a towel or blanket around her form. The next thing that came to mind was to throw a pillow at the other's face. "G-get out of here!"

[horror-of-beyond]

"You're awesome." *v*

"N-no! N-no one here is a-awesome!"

[horror-of-beyond]

"You're cute."

"W-what?! I-I think you have the wrong person! Y-you must be talking about Mizu-kun!"

"Nope."

[horror-of-beyond]

"I'm so glad to know you."

"I-I am too Retsu-chan."

[horror-of-beyond]

"Come back here- you’re not leaving without your coat."

"N-no I'm f-fine Retsu-chan!" Chou grinned stopping as the cold wind blew. It felt refreshing even though she would probably become very cold without a coat, but Chou at the moment didn't care much. Even though she hated snow and winter the cold air really felt nice after being cooped up in a heated house most the time.

At first not even a fleck of suspicion came to mind when Chou first started getting sick in the mornings. It was winter, after all, it isn't particularly unusual for people to get sick. But then she started getting really moody, with high highs and low lows. And then she started asking for the strangest foods at the strangest times. Retsu couldn't believe it--or, didn't want to. But after weeks of this going on she couldn't simply continue to let it go. "--Chou, we need to talk."

Chou blinked lifting her head. "W-what? What is it R-Retsu-chan?" She was confused to why Retsu looked so serious. Of course Chou didn't know anything about this. She had never read about it or anything. Nor was there a possibility in her book so when the other pulled her over to talk to her. It made the female nervous. "I-is something wrong..?"

B( "Does that mean I can't help out?"

"N-no...t-thank you for the scarf t-though."

"Eh? I'm trying to keep you warm!" B(

"B-but—I barely k-know you!"
