Sweetheart, You Have Done So Well

...ticklish.

So ticklish...

Himari's view was still dark with both eyelids closed. Her sleepiness and exhaustion were weighing her down.

She didn't know when did it start happening but, something was clearly bothering her right now.

Himari moved her hand, trying to smack whatever that made her face feel ticklish. A grunt escaped her lips as she was still so lazy to open her eyes.

A soft and warm sensation kept landing on her face. It even left the same feeling on her palm.

What was it?

"...en."

"Hehehe."

A peal of faint and soft laughter gently echoed next to her ears. Himari's senses were alerted because her brain registered the familiar sound but...

From who had she heard it before?

"Sweetheart, I've kissed you many times ah. Why won't you wake up? Wake up, Sleeping Beauty."

"...?!"

Wasn't that...

His voice?

Eyes opened wide, Himari saw the face of who she was dearly missing.
