Aria the Rich Maiden

Tatsumi slowly opened his eyes to see Mein standing in his room, holding a tray of pancakes and a glass of orange juice. Her face made her look as if someone was forcing her to do it; or she was forcing herself.

"G-Good morning." She struggled to say. Her face blushing a bit. "I-I made you breakfast."

Mein shoved the tray in front of Tatsumi, not giving him a chance to decline or grab it. Some of the juice spilled out of the glass and landed on Tatsumi shirt. The fork that was on the pancakes has slid off and landed on the floor.

"L-Let me get you a new fork." Mein said.

"No!" Tatsumi blurted. "I can eat this just fine."

Tatsumi lifted up a pancake with his hand and began to eat it. Mein looked at him before growing intensely angry with him.

"Baka! You shouldn't eat with your hands!" She yelled.

"But it's really delicious." Tatsumi replied, surprised that Mein could cook so well.

Mein took a step back, startled by his response. She wasn't sure if it would be the right time to confess her love for him now or if she should wait.

"No." She thought to herself. "I'm going to tell him here and now."

Mein clenched her fists and took a deep breath. Tatsumi continued to eat away at the pancakes, causing crumbs to fall all over his bed. But the smile on his face made it seem worth it that she spent two hours trying to cook them.

"Hey, Tatsumi." She finally spoke.

"Yeah, Meim?" He said, mouth full of pancake.

"C-Chew your food first before you speak!" She criticized.

Tatsumi chewed his food slowly before swallowing it. Then, finishing the rest of his orange juice, he gave Mein the okay to continue to talk.

"There's something I want to talk to you about." Mein said.

She could feel her nerves starting to get the best of her. Never in her life did she find someone to be as important to her than Sheere. Her entire life of being discriminated against made her cruel and uncaring for others, but it was something about Tatsumi that made her think otherwise.

"What is it?" Tatsumi asked, his full attention on her.

"It's just that...." She choked. "I-"

"Morning kid! Morning flat chest." Chelsea barged into the room.

Tatsumi looked annoyed with her referring him as 'kid' and Mein's face turned red as she hissed at Chelsea. Chelsea didn't seem to care; in fact she had a bright smile, but it seemed she was proud of something she did more than having a good day.

"Sorry, did I interrupt you two?" She smirked.

"Not really." Tatsumi replied. "Mein was just about to tell me something."
