Nozomi p.o.v
"Waking up with a headache is one of the worst things ever." I mutter annoyed, clutching my head. Shadow snorts and turns away. What is she doing? A second later my question is answered. She opens her wings, sinks through her front legs and jumps in the air, towards the window. The window is closed! I reach out to her with a panicked face. She's being stupid and doesn't see it! Stupid, flying cat-I mean dragon! I'm talking just like Pancake......The fuck! Are my brain cells dying?
"Shadow, look-"
Bang!
She hits the window hard.
"I will fucking leave you in the room if you do that again!" I scream loudly.

Time skip
"You're one fucking stupid dragon, Shadow." I snarl.
"What did you think? I can fly straight out of my room? You could get hurt!" She shuffles a bit with her feet. A sad expression on her face. I sigh slowly through my nose.
Be calm, getting angry doesn't work.
"I have a proposal, but you have to listen." I start, serious.
"I grab some food, my medicine and my drawings, while you stay on my shoulder, head....whatever you want. Then we can go outside, okay? But you have act normal, no mischief because I know how you are." She looks up, a hopeful light in her eyes. A pang of sadness shoots right through me. I shake my head wildly. No! I don't want to think about that right now! She nods vigorously.
"Promise?" I insist. She smirks softly and jumps on my shoulder. Well, I handled that nice eno-
My stomach grumbles. She gives me a pointed look and snorts. I chuckle nervously and scratch the back of my head.
"Hehehe."

The fresh air hits me in the face. I take a deep breath and smile. These days are the best. A soft purr wakes me up from my thoughts. Shadow pushes her face against mine. Her eyes look at me like she kills me if I am not gonna give what she wants right now.
"Chill, chill! You can already fly!" I say quickly. Holy shit, moody bitch!
I laugh quietly under my breath. These days are the best, because they're rare.
After settling down on the ground with a small picnic blanket, I start to look around me. What should I draw? I could draw Shadow, but she moves to much and I'm not going to ask her to stay still because she didn't do anything the last days. Guilt fills me up. She had to be bored out of her mind. I shake my head. She doesn't think like that, so I don't have to do that too. I focus on my sketchbook again and tap with my pencil thoughtfully against my chin. My eyes slowly trail towards the roses. I think I'm going to draw those. My lips curl up a bit.

As I began to draw my instincts slowly took over. More lines and shadows appeared on the paper. Barely taking time to look at the roses I turn towards my paper again, and again. The silence is soothing and I shuffle a bit to sit comfortable. My hair falls before my eyes. I huff irritated and put a string of hair behind my ear. No that isn't exactly right. Maybe that way....hmmmm. I chew on the inside of my mouth. My hand hovers above the paper. What should I do? Slowly, so I can see the effect on the paper I sketch for more than an hour.
Will this work? No....that's not good enough, this then? Hmmmmm....it's not what I want.
With a sigh I put down my pencil. I'll continue later.
As I am putting my sketchbook and other things away, a pair of feet appear in my field of vision. Can I get never for a few fucking hours some shitty peace. I look up with a scowl on my face. It's Pancake. Jippie.
"What are you doing?" She asks with her annoying voice.
"Do you have eyes?" I snap back. She looks a little taken aback. Good. I think with a bit satisfaction.
"Of course, I have eyes! Why?" Her voice sounds confused.
I turn my back towards her.
"Then you can see what I'm doing." She squeezes her lips together and I hide my smirk behind my hand.
She crosses her arms and huffs.
"At least you aren't important." I give her a big, fake smile.
"And why is that?"
"Well-"
"Yui, Nozomi...." Says a well-known voice. I grimace. Shit, not him.
It's Hothead. I stand up, gather my stuff and turn around. I'm outta! You can count me out, but no way in hell I'm going with this butthole!
"Yes, Kanato?" Asks Pancake sweet. I cringe. Please stop with that shit. I start to walk away.
He ignores her and his eyes pierce into my back.
"Where do you think you're going?" His voice is sharp. I come to a stop.
"What do you think? To my room." I feel another pair of eyes joining Hothead's and sigh. I would be dead if they were lasers.
"I would like you to cut a few of those roses and join me." The commandant is clear in his voice. And be sucked dry? I rather die bitch.
"Why don't you take Pancake with you? She's more than happy to give you what you want." Shadow where are you?
"I don't like to be kept waiting." Anger is lacing through his voice. I sigh softly. I can't avoid this, can I?
".....alright." I lay my stuff down on the picnic blanket with a small, written paper for Shadow(she can read okay?).
After I cut some rose and sorted it to my taste, I start to follow him. With an impatient look in his eyes he turns around and walks away.
I have the feeling that I'm getting more of this shit later.
