Green Innocence

14: What A Morning

    What a morning to be embraced by.

    The warm spring wind blows through the lovely curtains of the windows among the Shiozaki household, and in one particular rooms seal. The morning rays of sunlight trickle through line by line as its ever know heat ascends over the horizon. Those yellow lights illuminate the room that we speak of, and thus it brings forth the beauty of the whole abode. The plants that vine about the room grow happy as they are greeted with such warmth and energy, while color on the walls grow brighter and more filled with joy. The crucifix that hung upon the wall beamed with the holy light of the world.

And the soft eyes of the young Shiozaki stirred awake as the rays tickled their lids.

Ibara didn't jostle against her comforter so that she could spring forth awake in that she wouldn't be late for school, no. The green haired girl slowly arose from her slumber, as if she were some princess in a fairytale. She looked tired still, yet she felt so rejuvenated; that had to be the best night of asleep she'd ever received.

One could just see upon her warm face that she slept like an infant. Her body still felt warm as if it were still laid about the mattress in her comfort, and her skin felt so silken that she feared she may slip off her bed and fall face first to the ground. Not even her hair was in a bad mood, as it fell sweetly down her back and shoulders once she lifted her head up from her pillow and sat up with her waist against it afterwards. The sheets still hugged her legs with such a loving grasp that they almost called her back to sleep further into the night like a lover in a romance novel.

Ibara let out a short yawn, rubbing her eyes free of the tiring tears that slipped out as she did so, and merely sat still for a moment. A light hum resonated within her throat as her tired mind and sight finally gained a bit of consciousness after a few more blinks.

She stared down at the cream colored bed she lay in, every wrinkle and creat, every sewn strand, and every inch of its color, and for some reason she felt sad. It wasn't the sadness in that she was in the needing to cry, but rather it was more of a disappointed type of sad.

She wasn't sure what it was that made her sad, as she still wasn't fully awake at the moment. The green haired girl instinctively felt around her bed as if she were looking for the thing that was missing, but what was it that was missing exactly? Was she looking for her school ID? Was it a specific pillow that had accidentally been moved? Or was it something else?

    Her tired mind still wasn't sure.

    Internally she giggled at her current status; she usually was up and at 'em by now, already out the door of her room and down the stairs to have breakfast. Yet here she was still in bed feeling too tired to even open her eyes fully, it was silly to be honest. She doesn't even remember what it was that made her sleep so soundly this night of all nights; her bed felt wonderful sure, but it didn't feel like that was the cause. It was something else that made her feel like she was in heaven.

    Leaning on one arm as she lifted the other to her head, the green haired girl lightly rubbed her temple as she attempted to herd in the stray memories she had of the night before. All that she did remember at the time was that she went to school, spent a great day with her friends during school, and then exited Yuuie. It felt right, what she could place together, but it still felt like something was missing. She continued where she left off, she left school, yet she left early so that she could see Izuku. And then she talked with him, walked with him to the station and then...

    Oh right, he visited her home. Then she had a nice dinner with him and her family, then they had a less so nice talk about his past experiences with friends, actually make that people in general. Remembering all of this brought a warm smile across the holy girls lips as she felt honored still that he would confide to her so with such trust in her. It also made her spirit burn bright in her breast as she felt as if she helped remove a great plague that had sapped away at his heart for a long time.
