Hotaru proceeded to the infirmary while carrying Haru with no problem at all. Her breathing was even normal while holding the boy behind her. Suddenly she felt him move slightly and mumble. "Oh, are you awake?" Hotaru asked, only to receive no response. "I guess not," she giggled a bit while entering the nurse's office. A fairly young woman sat on a chair and turned to see the two enter. She asked what was wrong and helped place Haru on one of the beds. "Ah, he sorta passed out..." Hotaru explained vaguely, not wanting to embarrass Haru by mentioning that he ran into a door.
"Well, I'm glad that you brought him here. Why don't you help me out a bit and place this compress on him?" The nurse kindly asked and Hotaru nodded. Afterwards, the infirmary became a bit quiet and the nurse started up a conversation. "My, what a sweet thing to do for your boyfriend!" She teased. Hotaru was startled and shook her hand in front of her face.
"Oh no, we're just friends," she laughed nervously.
"Well, it's nice to have friends as dedicated as to carrying them to the infirmary," The nurse giggled a bit and allowed Hotaru to skip the period while waiting for Haru to wake up.
