Two days after moving in, Raizen learned that there are exactly three ways Kori wakes people up.
The first is with tea.
The second is with a thrown pillow.
The third - the one she used today - is with a wooden spoon and a saucepan and the cheerful declaration, "Field trip, minions! Get dressed. We're going to the Academyy!
Raizen jolted upright on instinct, the room tugging sideways - and his face collided with Hikari's. She was already leaning over him, studying his pupils like a medic. It was starting to become a habit now… Something soft ghosted the corner of his mouth and vanished, like a thought he couldn't quite catch. Then both of them went very still like statues that hadn't decided what expression to keep.
Hikari froze, eyes wide. Her hand hovered mid-air, close to her jaw.
Kori clanged the pan again from the doorway. "Rise and sparkle, disasters! We're gonna be late!"
