Nova Lux's POV.
"I hope you're not making this a habit Itsuki" I say, yawning.
It's currently 4am.
Sora Itsuki is standing outside of my door dripping wet from head to toe, while I stand in my bonnet and bathrobe.
Why he is soaking wet?
Hell if I know.
Why is he standing outside of my door?
I'm about to find out.
And the reason better be good, for him to be waking me up a whole hour before I actually need to be up.
He takes my hand and I stare at him shocked.
His hands are freezing!
Where has he been?!
"I need you! Well- I need your help!" He corrects himself, blushing.
I look down at what he's wearing.
Has he been to a party or something?
He's all dressed up.
"What could you possibly need help with at this time?" I ask, as calmly as I can.
"The move you showed me yesterday. I think I got it nailed, but something is missing and I'm not gonna be able to sleep if I don't get it figured out right now" he rambles out all at once.
Before I can respond, he continues.
"I know it's late. And I know it seems trivial. But I really want to get this right and make you proud. And prove that you're not doing everything for nothing. And I want to actually learn and devote myself to-"
I cut him off by grabbing his face and making him look at me.
He looks just as shocked as I feel.
"Calm down" I say, more to myself than to him.
He looks at my lips, then quickly back to my eyes.
He's embarrassed.
But I've caught him looking already.
I regard him for a minute.
Does he want me?
Or am I imagining it?
"Come inside. You're soaked and you will definitely catch a cold like this" I tell him.
He nods and silently comes into my house, taking his shoes off and following me through the living room and to the bathroom.
"Take a shower. I'll put your clothes in the dryer. I have some spare towels and I'll find something for you to wear." I say to him.
He nods.
Before I can say much else, he starts to strip down, giving me his clothes.
My breath catches in my throat, but I keep my composure.
He moves to take off his underwear and I look away, excusing myself from the bathroom.
I go into my laundry room to find him a clean towel, trying not to think about the fact that his underwear was sticking to him like a second skin.
It hasn't rained this evening, so what could he have possibly been doing?!
I go back to my bathroom and I knock on the door to let him know that I have a towel for him to use.
He opens the door slightly and I give it to him.
He grabs it and closes the door.
What will he wear?
