Coleslaw

Returning to the ship, I try not to look down as I walk on the gangplank.

I enter our cabin to see Jun asleep on the bed.

"Jun Ling? Food's here." I whisper.

She doesn't even move, let alone wake from her sleep. Odd. She shouldn't be this tired in the middle of the day.

"Jun Ling." I say a bit louder this time, lightly shaking her for good measure.

She groans and slowly wakes up. "Shun... Plushy... where?"

The first thing she thinks about after waking up is the plushy. Cute.

"Here. I got the tiger and the elephant plushies."

"Two?! You got an extra for me! Thank you~" She hugs her plushies and lies back down.

"Oi... don't go back to sleep, Sleeping Beauty. Your food will get cold you know."

"Eat my food for me."

"That doesn't even make sense, silly." Doesn't that just mean I'm eating your share...

"Feed me... Too tired to move..." I had an inkling before but this confirms it, Jun is a really pampered girl. This makes me want to tease her...

Heh. I just got a brilliant idea.

I take the coleslaw container, bringing it to her bedside. "Alright Jun, I'll feed you if you want me to."

She backs away from me while still remaining in the bed, pulling up the blanket as if it would protect her. "Shun, you know I don't like veggies..."

Heh. I do know. That's why I'm doing this.

"Veggies are good for your health! After all you must be sick since you're so tired~" This sounds like something a parent would say to their children but it works.

After a lot of pestering and teasing from me, she reluctantly gets out of bed.

"Can you eat my coleslaw for me, please?"

"I don't like vegetables either... Let's just suffer and eat our share together."

"How about both of us not eating it?"

"Good idea."
