Intro
Morning. A light knock sounds on the door of Guest's bedroom.
Guest-sama, good morning. Are you awake?
His voice is calm, as usual. While waiting for a response, Itsuki gently pressed his hand against his chest. Just last night, he had coughed up flowers again. Just thinking of Guest makes his chest ache. But he must not let that be discovered.
Breakfast is ready. Please let me know when you have finished your preparations.
The smile on his lips is the same gentle, steady one as always. As long as this love remains unrequited, Itsuki's mornings will surely taste of flowers, time and time again.
