Chapter 50: Clean-Up

A/N: Here's this week's chapter!  I really hope you all enjoy the cute Rem moments in these! They are some of my favorite.

Chapter 50: Clean-Up

Experiencing the same sensation that she was used to when waking up, this time, because it was the same as when she'd fallen asleep, Lyra had no sense of time. Awaking with Rem's fingers still gently stroking her hair, she still felt a soft presence under her head. Noticing the morning light coming in, a small panic filled him along with a guilty emotion.

Lyra: A-Ah… Rem?

With her voice halfway between being groggy and halfway through surprise, she croaked out her words.

I-Its morning! Did Rem SERIOUSLY give me a lap pillow ALL night!?

Turning her head on the soft location it still rested on, Lura looked around in hopes that wasn't true. Flipping sides,she had her vision filled with blue. Having turned her head fully, there was Rem.

Wah—! Hm!

Before she was able to voice her surprise, something stopped her lips. However, she remembered this feeling. Pulling away from her lips, Rem's own returned to a full and bright smile.

Rem: Good morning, Lyra-chan.

Still simply relieved that she hadn't given a lap pillow all night, Lyra sighed.

Lyra: Goodness, Rem! You scared me!  But yes, good morning to you too!

Closing one eye, Rem teased her slightly.

Rem: Did Lyra-chan not expect her morning kiss?

Lyra: I didn't, but that's not what I was scared about.

Lyra and Rem both sat up.

Patting the pillow her head had been resting on, Lyra seemed to convince herself that was INDEED what she had slept on.

Lyra: The second I saw the morning sun and felt your fingers on my head, I thought you'd stayed here ALL NIGHT giving me a lap pillow!

Smiling warmly at the idea, Rem leaned in and hugged her.

Rem: As tempted as Rem was to, she did eventually need to sleep herself.

Hugging the oni back, Lyra felt  comforted by that notion.

Lyra: Maybe I could do something special for you to return the favor, then! Who knows?

Remembering her intentions, it was all Lyra could do to keep the idea a surprise. Reluctantly releasing Lyra, Rem stood and walked over to the window. Opening the curtains, she turned back around.

Rem: I spoke with Nee-sama before getting her up this morning. It doesn't look like you'll be performing ANY outside duties today.

With this being news to Lyra, she was somewhat surprised.

Rem: Nee-sama decided that instead, since most of the kitchen was used yesterday during Dias-sama's visit, it will need a thorough cleaning.

Lyra: I see.

Lyra was unsure what this was leading to. It DID seem like a rather ODD thing for Rem to start out by saying.

Rem: Since Nee-sama and Rem will be busy with other areas of the mansion today, she has assigned the duty of cleaning the kitchen to Lyra-chan.

At first seeing this as a hindrance to her plans to make dinner for Rem, Lyra then realized the brilliance of Ram's plan. Perking up to the idea, Lyra nodded her head.
