Carala got up early.

As in four in the morning.

Surprisingly, Takashi was already up.

"G'morning." Carala yawned and limped into the kitchen.

"Good morning. Is your ankle okay?" Takashi asked.

"It's fine. What time does your class start?" Carala took a sip of hot chocolate.

Most people drink coffee in the morning, including Takashi. Carala drank hot chocolate.

"Eight. Same as yours." Takashi checked his watch. "We should get going now, it's already seven thirty-"

"Wait what?" Carala took out her phone and checked the time. "It's four forty five! We've got plenty of time!"

Takashi stared blankly at his watch and then at Carala's phone. She walked over and glanced at his watch.

"The second hand's not moving." She pointed out.

They were silent for a while.

"Did Mitsu hit you in the head? Or is your prescription getting worse?" Carla took out her contact. "You can borrow mine, Taka."

Takashi shook his head. "Maybe a bit still sleepy. I've been thinking all night."

Carala ruffled his hair. "Then don't think. Just do." She said. "That's what I always do."

"Don't think..just do..?" Takashi echoed.

"Right! It-" Carala was cut off when suddenly Takashi punched her face.

With his mouth.

Gently.

It was soft and passionate.

Carala felt her face grow hot as she started blushing.

"W-Wha?!" She stammered when they broke apart.

Takashi started to turn red too. "S-Sorry. I didn't think.."

"It's fine! Do you feel better?" Carala asked, and Takashi nodded.

"Then everything's fine." She was almost babbling now, so she quickly left the room.

But tripped midway.

Over a floor tile.

Her hot chocolate spilled everywhere.

"Ow ow ow ow ow.." Carala whined as Takashi treated her burns.

"Be careful." Takashi sighed. "There was nothing there for you to trip over."

"I can't help it." Carala pouted.

"It's a good think you're going to a university close by, or else you would have accidents everyday in a dorm." Takashi shook his head as he put away the medical box.

And I get to see you everyday.

And make sure you're safe.
