One year and eleven months before the day
Megumi's POV
What is this noise? It sounds like people talking... Did I leave the television on?...No...yesterday I didn't even go home...Wait, where am I?
It took me a while to open my eyes and wake up fully. I no longer remembered that I was at Junpei's house...
"Ah you're awake! I made breakfast, I hope you like pancakes!" I rub my eyes and try to look where the voice came from.
And there he was, the reason I am here... The boy with the pink hair and a bright smile.
"Yeah, I like it thanks" I say as I yawn and get up.
He just nods, without undoing his smile and leaves the room. I sigh as I head towards the bathroom,
looking at myself in the mirror. God I hate this reflection... I always did. I wash my face and brush my teeth with some toothbrush Junpei gave me and as soon as I leave I go to the living room.
"Good morning Fushiguro-san" "Morning" I say, still tired even though I just woke up, as I sit in front of my work friend.
Neither of us tends to talk much... I think we both understand how annoying small talk is, so we just sit in a comfortable silence starting to eat...
"Ah, here you are! I was making coffee, would you like some?" and then the silence is over... But coffee seems like a great idea.
"Please. " I reply, turning to look at the boy already dressed and ready with coffee in hand. What time did he get up? Junpei and I are still in pajamas, we both barely woke up and he's already completely ready to go out and offer people coffee? I don't understand morning people...
"Did you sleep well Fushiguro? I hope I didn't snore" he says, now sitting next to the boy in front of me and laughing.
"Yeah I slept well... And no you didn't snore, or at least I didn't notice" I say, taking a sip of the fresh made coffee
"That's good to know! Sorry for waking you up. I just went to see if you were already on your feet but I must have made a lot of noise" he says scratching the back of his neck embarrassed
"Don't worry you didn't wake me up. I always wake up at the same time, only sometimes do I need to set an alarm, but it's rare." I answer, I'm actually surprised with myself for having given him an explanation
"Wow seriously? But it's so early! Even on weekends?"
I nod.
Why does he look so excited right now?
It's too early for me to deal with so many questions.
"Why?"
I look at him to make sure I heard it right.
"Why what?" I ask
"Why do you always wake up at the same time even when you don't need to?"
Well... habits I picked up at the orphanage... if I didn't always wake up early I had problems... and it wasn't very different in foster homes...
"Habit I think" I reply, showing little interest in the subject. This is not something I am interested in thinking about.
"That must be annoying." I just nod.
It really is annoying, especially when I'm exhausted... But it seems that a part of me is still that little child hiding under the bed in fear that someone would hit me for sleeping too much... I always liked to sleep...
