Diluc

You and Diluc had been together for two years now. Your friends warned you that dating someone with a lot of trauma in his past and who looked like a walking block of ice was a bad idea, but you didn't listen. And you were right, because within a short time, this guy became the most caring and sensitive person in your life, even if it didn't seem so on the outside.

One weekday morning, you woke up much later than usual. You realized you'd already slept through all your important morning tasks, genuinely confused as to why you hadn't heard the alarm. Your frustration was interrupted by a loud sneeze, which completely clogged your nose and brought painful tears to your eyes. Your throat was completely hoarse and terribly sore. It seemed like you were coming down with a cold again.

Before you could express your indignation, your phone buzzed on the nightstand. It was a message from Diluc:

• Princess? Are you still asleep?
