[RL - Touchy-Feely Virus]

[unknownrival]

Issei was not exactly at his most alert after waking up, and certainly not at his most alert after waking up after passing out from stress and exhaustion. (He really hadn't gotten enough sleep when he was at Shirou's house. That could have been a problem.)

Thus, when he noticed that he was curled up - snuggling, really - with someone who hadn't been there the night before, he wasn't nearly as startled as he should have been. Mostly, he was just confused. "...Is that you, Haruto?"

"I wouldn't call my own home normal... my father is rather odd in his own sense..." He replied softly, looking down and then back up to the other boy.

"My father isn't exactly typical either, I suppose." Issei paused. "Um, would you like to return to the library now?"

Haruto hadn't expected anyone's parents to be remotely normal, by any standards. He blinked at him and smile softly.

"Uh, sure. Of course." he agreed, smiling.

Issei smiled at him in return, answering, "All right, then. Follow me."

Haruto smiled back and gave a soft laugh, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Of course. As the circumstances are, I can have it any other way." he replied, jokingly.

"Well, I'm sure some people might choose to be sick rather than touch their mortal enemies, but I'd rather keep us both in health," Issei replied, chuckling and continuing on his way.

"Ehh, that's true." Haruto agreed, giving a sheepish smile and a laugh.

He smiled and nodded, laughing a little more loosely now.

"Yes, I agree."

"I'm glad this virus isn't bothering you so much anymore," Issei commented as they reached the library.

Haruto gave a small shrug, nodding.

"It could have been much worse, I suppose."

"I don't know what I'd have done if it hadn't been one of my friends I was attached to," Issei replied. "Ah, here we are."

"I have a feeling my friends at school would be annoyed if they were stuck to me." he smiled, jokingly, and blinked up when they reached the library again beaming at the sight of the books.

"I... don't have that many friends at school, actually, so I can't say whether they'd be irritated or not." Issei smiled gently at him. "Please make yourself at home. I'll follow wherever you want to go first."
