A certain ravenette plopped on his king-size bed, the mattress immediately giving his skin the best comfort. His eyes strained on his ceiling for awhile as his mind was immersed in a random  thought.

It was a weird contemplation because he can't really tell what it is and why it was making him so uncomfortable. He knew who it was that he was thinking about but he chose to shrug it off because it would just make the grinding of his stomach even more annoying.

He flipped his body from time to time in hopes to find the coziest position that could finally persuade him to sleep. Failing miserably, a disappointed sigh escaped from the grasp of his lips as he sat up, his large plain white shirt moving along with him.

His fingers made its way towards the remote placed on top of his bedside drawer before turning on his television screen mounted on the wall a handful of steps in front of his bed. Maybe a little viewing of whatever show it is that was being played in the middle of the night could bore him to sleep.

"Smitten is a word that points towards the definition of being deeply struck by the feelings of attraction." Daisuke scooted towards the frame of his bed in order to rest his back on it. He's not sure if this was a good TV program but he could give it a try.

"An individual that is stricken by this sensation will be feeling the following: First will be the disrupting swirling of one's insides. Second would be the abrupt desire to vomit. And for the third and last sign; it will be the sudden heightening of the temperature in his or her body." 

The ravenette cleared his throat as he suddenly got the same uncomfortable twisting in his stomach that he has been enduring for awhile now. He reached for a small box of juice on his bedside table, opening it and chugging a couple of mouthfuls while he intently listened on the talking personnel in the television screen.

"And you, the viewer, must be adoring someone right now, huh? You might be denying it, but the mere fact that you are still watching this proves that I am correct. You want to understand more about that foreign feelings and emotions deep inside you which have been making you stay awake up to this hour. "

Daisuke's eyes inflated as he choked on the juice that was chilling in his mouth. His hands scattered around his bed, desperately looking for the remote and turning the television off immediately.

That's enough tv for the day

(Y/N) gave out a tired yet triumphant huff after finally reaching the door of the Kambe's manor. As she was about to open the door herself, the knob jiggled and was later on opened. Her sight caught a view of a ravenette who silently scanned her surprised reaction.

"Good morning, Kambe-san! Missed me?" This was her first day of going back to work after being away for a week because of some family event. A teasing and bubbly grin adorned the enchanting features of her face as she excitedly gripped on the folder that she was holding.

Daisuke clenched his jaw, it evidently moving in a tensed pace. The young woman patiently waited for his response with her greeting, but all she got was an unnerving silence. She cleared her throat as she made her way inside the mansion through slipping on the extra space beside the quiet male.

The ravenette cursed himself as he felt that same annoying swirling in his stomach once again. He turned around to say something to the female, the sound of his shoes hitting the marble floor catching her attention as she paused to hear what it was that he was about to state.

"I did.. missed you."

(Y/N)'s playful grin was replaced with a small yet genuine smile. She gave the boy a short bow to show gratitude with his response before proceeding to the office room, leaving the embarrassed lad behind.

Daisuke gently placed his document on the top of his desk before he stood up and made his way towards the window. He glanced down to take a good long look of their yard, only to be interrupted by a certain (h/c) haired woman who was currently running in circles while trying to catch a random squirrel. Since the young lady was already done with today's task, the boy gave her some kind of a break time, so here she was; sprinting like a kid who was running away from their enraged mom. 

The ravenette leaned his shoulder on the cold wall as he shoved both of his hands in his pockets. He was feeling odd; the grinding of his stomach seemed to transform into some kind of acid that was slowly making its way to his throat. Is it because he has overworked his self again? Is it because he was starting to have a flu?

Yeah, it must be a flu.

(Y/N) roared in pure joy after finally catching the squirrel, its fluffy fur tickling her fingers. She scrunched her nose before giddily bouncing in an up and down motion, her eyes then landing on a certain ravenette on the third floor of the mansion who seemed to be observing something. She waved her free hand on the male which, of course, rattled him.

Daisuke pursed his lips, nodding at her calmly as a response. He immediately walked away from the window and trotted near towards the air conditioner since he was suddenly being engulfed with an irritating warmth that even his face could feel it.

He hasn't noticed it but he has been standing under the air conditioner for a handful of minutes like some lamppost, confusing the (h/c) haired girl who was now already in the office to arrange her things.

"Are you.. alright, Kambe-san?" Daisuke jolted with the sudden arrival of her voice. He turned his heels towards her, seeing her petting a squirrel that was sleeping on her arm.

His mesmerized orbs of ice blue scanned her face that was covered with a couple of dusts and dirt, her hair sticking out from all the running that she did to catch the mammal that she was now holding. Despite all this, she still looks so... beguiling to him.

"I'm.. good." 

Maybe he really does adore her..
