My head hurts.

I'm not saying anything about it, though. Nobody needs to know what happened in the middle of the night.

They notice anyway- my friends, I mean.

"Are you alright, Tsukasa-kun?"

Rui puts a hand on my shoulder. "You're quieter than usual."

My head throbs painfully as I turn to look at the director. "I'm fine," I mutter in reply, clearing my throat. "I'm just a bit tired!"

Nene raises an eyebrow. "Why, did you not get enough sleep last night?" She questions.

I scramble my mind for an excuse. "Uh- ye-yeah." I nod, "I was, uh.. trying to think of show ideas."

Emu perks up. "Did you find anything?"

"..No."

Emu deflates just as fast as she did the opposite. "Aw.."

I sit up, taking a deep breath. Everything is so bright. It hurts my eyes.

I want to go home.

This really sucks.

"Go on and rest here," Rui offers. He pats his lap, smiling warmly at me. "You can sleep here for a bit if you want."

Emu gasps, squealing. "Aww!! Yes, yes, yes!! Come backstage, Tsukasa-kun! We can have a nap-over!"

Her voice is loud.

"A 'nap-over..?'" Nene repeats, raising an eyebrow. "What does that mean?"

"It means we take a nap! Like a sleepover, but not sleeping! Just napping!" Emu chirps.

...

...Okay?

Rui nods, ever the enthusiastic. Of course he goes along with Emu's strange idea. "Alright, then, to backstage we go, Tsukasa-kun!"

He tries to carry me bridal style, and it doesn't work. It's extremely pathetic, and my head starts to pound even more. I have to hold back a grimace as Rui opts to drag me backstage instead of carrying me.

He called me heavy. I called him weak.

Nene, thank the heavens, agreed with me. Emu, as expected, was indifferent.

But now I am lying down on Rui's lap in the middle of the trap room in the wonder stage- Emu thought it would be better because there's Rui's safety mat inside. Somehow, there are lot of convenient props in here as well- such as a blanket and some pillows.

So technically, I'm not actually lying on Rui's lap. There is a pillow between Rui's lap and my head to make it more comfortable. I'm not sure if it's working.

But I mean.. it feels nice. I won't complain about it.

Emu snuggles up beside me, humming to herself as she puts a pillow beneath her own head. "Good afternoon~!" She whispers, wrapping her arms around me.

"..Good afternoon, Emu." Nene mutters absentmindedly in reply. She already has her switch out. The volume is up high, but the music from it is actually quite calming, so I don't mind it.

I feel like I would have protested against this, but I will admit that I'm too tired to care right now. Also my head hurts.
