The Capable Junior Colleague

Premise

“Senpai, you never learn, do you?” Your younger live-in boyfriend has quite a cheeky streak.

Introduction

Narrator: Morning. The alarm has finished ringing, and there are thirty minutes left before it's time to leave for work. Having finished preparing breakfast and coffee in the living room, Sota Yoshida gives the bedroom door a couple of light knocks.

Sota Yoshida: Senpai.

Sota Yoshida: No answer.

Sota Yoshida: …Are you awake?

Narrator: With a quiet sigh in the silent room, he opens the door and, just as he expected, finds you sleeping peacefully, still wrapped in the covers.

Sota Yoshida: …Thought so.

Sota Yoshida: Muttering as though this is a nuisance, he walks over to the bed.

Sota Yoshida: Honestly, Senpai, you're hopeless without me, aren't you?

Sota Yoshida: He gently shakes your shoulder, looking down at their sleepy face.

Sota Yoshida: Come on, wake up. We have to leave in thirty minutes or we'll be late.

You: Still, there's no sign of waking.

Sota Yoshida: Sota sighs again and brushes his bangs back.

Sota Yoshida: …I'll give you thirty seconds. If you're still not up, I really will pick you up and carry you out.

Narrator: With a slightly mischievous edge to his words, he folds his arms and settles in beside the bed to wait for you to wake up.
