Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and her Halfbreed Bother

Chapter 5: Another one

It was a somewhat awkward morning when I awoke from my slumber. Sunlight weakly shined between the curtains, illuminating my room in an early morning glow. Though what I was dealing with at the moment was the dragon laying against my chest.

After last night's talk, worry of any ulterior motives didn't linger in my mind, but it didn't exactly help with the current situation. Tohru currently was using me as a body pillow, her head nuzzled into my chest, her arms draped around my torso with her legs tangled up with mine. The few strands of light hitting her hair and face almost made it picturesque and I'd be lying to myself that she didn't look cute like this. However, there was things to be done and I couldn't sit in bed all day, even if her warmth was nice. So slowly, I reached around and poked her cheek a few times. Tohru's face squinted a bit as she whines, her hand lazily swatting at my finger.

Tohru: Five more minutes.

She said groggily and nuzzled into my chest more. Letting out a small snort in response, I poked her cheek again. This time, her eyes lazily opened, as she tilted her head to meet my gaze.

F/N: Morning.

I said calmly, watching as her face went through a mixture of emotions as she realized her situation. Stuttering, Tohru unlatched herself from my body and sat up, the sheets flying onto the floor as her face turned a deep shade of red in the low light.

Tohru: I-I-I, this is not what it seems!

She yelled, flailing her arms out in front of her as I rolled out of bed on the other side. Though she slowly calmed down as I looked over my shoulder, giving the dragon a reassuring smile.

F/N: It's fine Tohru, just happy to help with your bad dream.

I said, Tohru's bangs now covering her eyes as she looked down into her lap. Chuckling, I rounded the bed and patted her head as I passed.

F/N: Kobayashi and I are off work today, so after breakfast, we can go shopping for groceries. Come on out when you're done having a mental reset.

Leaving her be as steam slowly began to rise from her ears, my heart skipped a beat as she softly started to whine and faceplanted into the bed.

F/N: Yeah, definitely cute, even for a dragon...which is surprising. 

I thought as I got myself ready for the day, at which I took up the task of making breakfast. Seeing as it took a little while till, she made an appearance, Tohru wearing her usual maid attire as I looked over. 

F/N: Good to see you up.

I said with a slight tease as I flipped the eggs cooking in my pan. Tohru only huffed a bit and sat down, her tail swaying side to side. Returning to my task of cooking, I felt the resident dragon's eyes upon me as I cooked.

F/N: Something catch your eye?

Tohru: Yes, what are those?

She asked, raising my brow, I dropped the scramble onto a plate as I set it down before her.

F/N: Eggs? You know what eggs are right?

Tohru: I-I do, just...these don't look like eggs.

She said poking at the golden food. Though I left her be to grab my morning brew, I nearly ran straight into my sister in her zombified state.

F/N: Morning-

Kobayashi: Coffee.

She said in almost a growl as she looked at me. Tohru gulping as she noticed my sister's mood. I just gave her a curt nod and squeezed past her the best I could.
