Chaos in the Morning

Ren got off the bed and began pulling my arm for me to get up. I sat up on the side of the bed with my legs dangling down as I watched Ren walk off to fetch me a robe. I looked down at my disheveled clothes and realized that I couldn’t possibly walk outside dressed like this.

“Wear this,” Ren said as he handed me a deep red silk robe.

Thankfully, due to its dark color and thick fabric, the robe provided enough cover for me to look presentable. I quickly put it on and after inspecting myself in the mirror and adjusting my hair, I was ready to venture out of my own bedroom.

“Come on, Rin,” Ren said a little impatiently as he took my hand into his in a firm grip.

I followed behind Ren on shaky legs as he semi-dragged me behind him towards the door of my bedroom. Did the sound outside just get louder or was it just my own imagination?
