Author’s Note/s: Formerly a part of an application I made for Manabe in richmanpoorman (a fruits Basket RP forum). It’s something like a prelude to the ‘Fish out of Water’ and ‘Working Late’ threads in furubarama (another forum). Just thought I’d put it up just for the heck of it (haven't been putting anything up lately). Enjoy!

Disclaimer’s Note/s: RPing Manabe in furubarama’s the closest thing I got to ownership, so nope, he ain’t mine. If I knew him, though, we’d wreak havoc and destruction upon the world... just because. XD

A Nap That Costs More Than It Should

-

Kakeru sat up with a start, awakened from a restless sleep. Where the heck am I? He squinted, and saw the dark shapes that were undoubtedly chairs. Classroom? No, the room was quite small. Ah! Student Council room! He must've fallen asleep during a meeting of some sort!

What day is it today? Man, he was really disoriented. He rubbed his head and stretched, then glanced around his dim surroundings. Looks like it was getting late. Now where does Kimi keep the calendar. . . With some effort, he stood, and proceeded to search for the Council room calendar at Kimi's desk.

Which was literally like looking for a needle in a haystack. No matter that the calendar was about as big as a large folder. Ach . . . And she calls herself a secretary. Kakeru rubbed his eyes, examining the messy desk with a bit of annoyance. This'll take me forever to sort. He cursed his bad luck, and let his eyes wander . . .

. . . until they spotted a large flat thing hanging above Yuki's desk. Thank the gods for orderly, prim Yunyun. He grinned and looked at the calendar. And his eyes widened.

No . . .

He pulled up a sleeve, checked his watch.

NO . . .

He burst out the door, startling the janitor cleaning the halls just outside.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He pelted down the newly wiped floors like a man possessed. Which was what any high school student late for a very important part time job would do. "I'M LATE! I'M FRICKIN' LAATE! NOOOO!"

Author’s Note/s: I'm not entirely sure that Kimi'd have a messy desk. . . Actually, if anyone in the Student Council has one, I'm fairly sure it'd be Yuki. But anyway, just thought you guys should know that. Please excuse its shortness.

Edited (to a degree)!
