Chapter 1: A Sick Morning

The warm sunlight peeking through the blinds was usually enough to wake me up, but today it only seemed to make my head throb. I groggily opened my eyes, disoriented and feeling off. Tokyo was already up and getting ready for the day, her back to me as she brushed her hair. I tried to call out to her, but my voice came out as a weak whisper. "Tokyo...babe," I managed to croak, wincing as my throat felt dry and sore. Tokyo immediately stopped what she was doing and came over to me, concern etched on her face. She gently stroked my hair, her touch a soothing balm to my frazzled nerves. "Hey, angel, what's wrong? You don't sound so good." I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back onto the pillow. Tokyo quickly sat down beside me, wrapping her arms around me in a warm hug. "Don't move, baby. Let me get you some water." As she got me a glass of water, I snuggled into her side, craving the comfort of her physical touch. It was our love language, and I needed it desperately right now. Tokyo handed me the water and I took a few sips, feeling a bit better. But as the morning wore on, I only seemed to get worse. My body ached all over, my head spun, and my stomach churned with a queasy feeling. Tokyo stayed by my side, fussing over me and making sure I was comfortable. She got me a blanket and wrapped it around me, holding me close as I shivered. "What's wrong with me, honey?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Tokyo kissed my forehead, her lips warm and gentle. "I don't know, babe. Maybe you're just coming down with something. I'll take care of you, don't worry." As she spoke, she stroked my hair and back, her touch calming me down. I closed my eyes, letting myself get lost in the comfort of her presence. But as the minutes ticked by, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was seriously wrong. And then, just as I was starting to drift off into a fitful sleep, I heard Tokyo's phone ring. She hesitated for a moment before answering it, her voice low and cautious. As she listened to the person on the other end, her expression grew more and more serious. I could sense a change in her demeanor, a shift from calm and soothing to worried and tense. "What's going on, Tay?" she asked, her voice low and urgent, as she turned to face me. Now it's your turn to direct the story. What happens next?
