"Really Keigo?" you mumbled groggily, "After weeks of radio silence, you decide to call me at 5 in the morning...? Couldn't this wait?"

"Absolutely not," Keigo snickered. He sounded annoyingly energetic.

"..." you just stared at the wall with sleepy eyes, too tired to reply.

"Ok you're mad at me," he said after a short pause, "I'm sorry I haven't contacted you in a while, I've just had a lot of stuff going on."

"..."

"Are we cool?"

"..."

"Y/n?"

"..." you yawned, "...I was never mad at you."

"Then what's with the silent treatment?"

"Well, I'm a little angry at you sure. But as for the 'silent treatment'...I'm pretty sure I'm only half conscious right now," you say and gently rub the sleep from your eyes, "...How come you sound so awake and lively?"

"You know I'm an early bird," he said, then you heard a smirk, "...and because I know it'll annoy you."

"Did you ring just to bother me?" you were mildly irritated by that last bit.

"I rang to catch up," he clarified, "So tell me, did you land safely?"

"...dude," you said exasperated, "I arrived over a week ago."

"Yeah I know, I remember you telling me when you'd arrive," he said, "I asked if you came here safely. Were there any problems? Any...less than ideal incidents?"

"I'm...here aren't I?" you said slowly, not too interested in recounting your adventure so far, especially since you couldn't even remember what you did yesterday at that moment.

"In one piece I hope," he said in a way that made it seem like a joke, but you could tell there was genuine concern in his voice.

"Not right now..." you said, then realised how worrying that sounded, "As in mentally speaking."

He gave a slight chuckle, "Are you still sleepy?"

"Maybe..." you said, finally smiling, "Any more questions?"

"Just one," he replied, "What have you been up to since you got here? Catch me up."

The conversation went on for basically half the morning. Since he kept insisting, you told him the details of your adventures in Tokyo, how you're settling into your apartment and the dinner you had with your neighbours. To be honest, you weren't sure if what you were saying was all that interesting, but Keigo was acting like he was hooked on your every word. Even if it was at an ungodly hour, you were glad that he phoned you.

"Before I go, you remember what I said about there being an increase in villain activity?" Keigo asked.

"Yes and I only think about it almost every day," you said, a chill running up your spine as you recalled when he described all the recent events.

"I didn't mean to scare you; I just want you to keep your guard up," he said with that concern in his voice again, "Speaking of, I made a list of places you should avoid, there have been rumours of...things happening there. It's probably nothing, but just in case, y'know?"

"No not really, you're being pretty vague," you say, "But sure, I'll have a look at the list."

"Cool. Any questions, just text me," he said, "Alright, I'll leave you to go back to sleep."

"It's too late for that," you grumbled, "Thanks for screwing over my internal body clock."

"It's my pleasure," he said smirking before hanging up.

He can be so infuriating sometimes. You have your first day of the internship tomorrow and now you have lost valuable time to prepare for it and make sure you're ready to make a good first impression (ok, so you might have procrastinated a little this past week and left filling in and signing important documents to the last minute. Which will probably take hours to do). As you lie in bed, you mentally plan out all of the tasks you need to do and almost lose the will to get up. You felt momentarily overwhelmed by the day's demands, but you tell yourself to take it a step at a time and slowly sit up. 

Today's going to be a long day.
