Falling For You

Thankful For You

When Valt finally awoke he found himself wrapped up in his own blankets, back home.

He had no idea how he ended up back at home.

The last memory he had was training with Shu at the park and then suddenly feeling tired.

Closing his eyes once more, Valt sighed.

At least he got to spend time with Shu...

Images of what happened after he started feeling tired flashed through the bluenette's memory, causing him to spring up in bed.

Don't tell me I really fell asleep?!?! And I even landed on his lap!?

Valt threw his hands to his face and let out a groan before falling back into bed.

How did this even happen?! Why did it have to happen?! How did he even get home?! And most importantly- was it dinner time already?!

Getting out of bed, Valt looked around his room. He spotted a clock that read 6:45 p.m.

It looks like dinner time...

Nodding to himself, Valt left his room and walked downstairs to the kitchen where his mom was cleaning up some dishes.

"Mom? Did I miss dinner?"

Mrs. Aoi turned at hearing her son and smiled sympathetically.

"Good to see your finally up and unfortunately you did. But, there's some left over rice in the fridge. I'll just heat it up for, take a seat, alright?"

Nodding, Valt sat at the table. He watched as his mother made her way around the room, preparing his rice.

There were a few questions he wanted to ask; but didn't know where to start.

"Ummm... mom?"

Mrs. Aoi glanced a look at her son as she put away some clean dishes into a dish rack.

"What is it?"

"How did I get back home? I don't remember walking back."

Turning to her son, Mrs. Aoi smiled gently. Her voice sounded generally thankful.

"Shu brought you home. He was carrying you when he got here and told us you had fallen asleep during bey training. He was a little worried that you might've been pushing yourself too hard so he brought you right over."

Valt blinked several times at his mom before looking down. A small smile forming on his lips as he replayed what his mother just said.

"Okay, second question... It's a little weird though..."

Mrs. Aoi nodded her head, ready to listen.

"Um... How exactly was he carrying me?"

Placing the bowel of rice in the microwave, Mrs. Aoi answered.

"Don't tell him I told you, but he was carrying you in his arms. He said it would've been more difficult to have carried you any other way then that."

"Oh, I see."

Valt was done asking questions for now. He was more concerned on the topic of being carried by Shu.

Man I really hope I wasn't too heavy for him... Oh I really really really hope I didn't move closer into him and made him feel uncomfortable!

When Mrs. Aoi turned back to look at Valt, her expression changing into a concerned one.

Valt's face looked flushed and was slowly falling forward.
