You were outside reading a book at the special Gazebo they gave you under the night sky. The evening was beautiful and the breeze made you feel at ease as it hits your skin. The crickets were chirping and the woodland creatures made occasional noise. It was relaxing.

While everything was good and all, you can't help but feel a little strange. You felt light-headed, getting more headaches now and then you've been feeling your nose a little fuzzy. Other than that, you felt like your voice had become a little croaky and groggy.

Flipping another page of the book, you felt dizzy again.

You moved the book away and looked at the moon.. wait.. two moons?

You swore there was only one. And so you rubbed your eyes and looked at it again, oh, there it is, it returned being one again. (A/N: Kagaya mo single)

You yawned, "I need rest.."

Deciding that it was time to sleep, you put the book away and laid it down on the table.

But for some odd reason, you couldn't move nor could you stand. Your eyes were getting drowsy and you passed out.

The sunlight hit your face making you groan and slowly open your eyes again.

You slowly stretched your joints out despite feeling tired still. What's worse is that you felt a snot stuck in your nose but you grabbed a tissue and blew it.

Oddly, you felt much worser than you were yesterday. Your body was hot and cold at the same time.

What made you wonder was how you were able to get here when you were downstairs at the garden last night.

"Ah! You're awake!" Riko the wardrobe exclaimed.

You gave her a puzzled look, "Riko?"

"How are you feeling? It seems like you caught a cold when Aomine brought you here." She worriedly asked putting your clothes for the day on the bed.

Your ears perked up, "Dai-Chan? He brought me to my room?"

She nodded in response. "He said that you were at the Gazebo sleeping."

Aomine couldn't sleep. Midorima's words to him that day struck him hard both in mind and by heart.

For the past 3 days he've been wondering about it too much and he felt bothered by it. He felt confused.

"Gaddamit." The beast grumbled and sat on the bed.

What Midorima said wasn't true right? He wasn't falling for you was he? Was he romantically feeling something for you?

He even started to question the kind acts he suddenly did for you.

You had been here for 6 weeks. The deadline was close too.

Satsuki, the Rose, glowed dimmer and dimmer each day. It talked less to the beast as each day passed too.

Aomine pinches his nose and let out a huge sigh. He felt complicated and confused. It was so long since you left him when you were young... so long that he forgot how to deal with emotions like these.

"Hey Dai-kun. You should check the garden." Satsuki cheerfully told him.

The Rose was able to spectate around the castle and is able to point out one's true emotions. Considering that Satsuki was there to give advices and reminders to the beast anyways.

"Tch, why."

"Because it seems like you're confused and unsure with your feelings. You should go out and feel the evening breeze once in a while~!" She explained.

Satsuki recommended Aomine to visit the garden for two reasons. First, is because you're there sick and him seeing you may reduce his complications. Second, the breeze is actually helpful.

"Fucking-"

"Vulgar words~ Besides, I believe that your dear Y/N is at the Gazebo." She teased.

"Shut up. And she's not. She may be sleeping."

"How are you so sure of that? Hm~? I can spectate the castle where ever and whenever unlike you."

Aomine rolled his eyes and carried himself out of the bed. He dragged himself in the hallways still thinking about you, like the usual.

He headed towards the garden to see that the doors were left out open.

Dashing outside at the garden, he scanned the place. Fortunately, his eyes laid in your small frame sleeping on the Gazebo.

You snored faintly and you shivered slightly. However, your face wasn't that calm, maybe you were too cold.

He sighed and carried you again in his arms. This time, you reacted to this by scooting closer to him and placing your hands on his chest while holding his fur. You smiled.

"You know pancake, I'm getting sick doing these favors for your ass." He grumbled but said it to you softly. He knew deep inside that he didn't mean nothing that he said as well.

As he brought you upstairs, he felt your temperature wasn't like normal. He sensed it. He felt you were abnormally hot.

Once he made it to your room, he laid you on your bed. Tucking you in under your blankets.

Aomine placed his paw on your forehead. "Tch. Just like I suspected. You're coming down on a cold pancake. This is what your ass gets for staying awake at late night outside."

After gazing your face for a few moments, he turned around. "Oi Wadrobe. Keep an eye on her."

Few hours had passed after you woke up. You looked out at the window and felt bored. Who knew it would be this silent and boring, right?

You wanted to read but every time you tried to, you couldn't think straight for your mind is fuzzy.

All you could do as to talk with Riko but that was it. Other than that, you were cramped inside the room with nothing to do.

But then your mind wandered off to Aomine, considering that there were roses in your vase beside your bed. It reminded you of him and the garden he gave you.

"Hey Riko... What do you think is Aomine doing?"

Riko raised a brow at you. "I don't know. Maybe he's busy. According to other, he seemed distant lately."

You felt disappointed. You wanted to see him so badly but you couldn't.

"I miss him.." You mumbled but unbeknownst to you, Riko was able to hear you clearly making her smirk in joy.

Aomine was pacing back and forth in his room. He was thinking about his conflicting feelings about you and no matter how much he tried to, the houghts just wouldn't leave him be.

Satsuki felt something was wrong with the beast, so she woke up from her slumber making the Rose glow.

"Ah Dai-kun. Weird seeing you tensed." She giggled.

"Fuck off Sastuki. Not in the mood right now." He grunted.

"You are most certainly not."

The beast left s silence as a response making the rose's tingles went on and she had an idea what was going on.

"You're thinking about her aren't you~?" She teased.

"Yeah I'm thinking about her so what?" He finally admitted making Satsuki gasp slightly in surprise.

"According to my senses, I believe that you are conflicted by the emotions you are feeling about her at the moment. You are unsure whether you love her or not because you have not experienced this emotion for a while." She explained in a matter of fact.

Aomine looked at her surprised by the rose's unexpected explanation that seems to have summarized his feelings.

"Listen very closely and carefully Aomine. I have experienced the same thing. It was forbidden yet I continued loving him because I knew it made me happy. One way to be sure if you really do love that person, you should spend more time with that person. Because as time pass by, you'd see the both of you grow closer. I don't know about your feelings but I guarantee you, you shouldn't ignore it. You should spend more time with her, and at the right moment, you'll realize and discover it if what you think it is, is right or not. Don't distance yourself away from her because that will only make things harder. Try to spend more time with her and you'll realize it one way or another." The Rose adviced.

Aomine looked down.

Maybe she was right. Maybe if she spends more time with her, he'll eventually figure his feelings out.

He took a deep breath and exhaled it all out. He felt so much better now. "I can't believe your dumbass speech is helpful.. I guess.."

The rose chuckled, "What can I say? I'm always right~ Now go and get your girl."

'Yeah.. my girl..'
