CHAPTER 20.5 : Warmth…

"I'm gonna go change in my pajamas." Aoi said as she seperated with him, entering her own room.

"Yeah, I'm going to change into my pajamas as well."

Yuu as well entered his room and changed into his pajamas, and went straight to his bed and sat down, further to the side, leaving space for another person.

"Sorry for the wait."

"Ah, right." Yuu was reading a light novel by the bed and immediately flipped it close after Aoi entered the room and placed it by the bed table beside them. "Then… shall we sleep?"

"Yeah, let's go." Aoi immediately tucked herself in next to him.

"..."

"..."

The two stared at each other again for a few seconds.

"This is actually embarrassing…." Yuu realized. They nonchalantly went to bed as if they were married for a while and he finally came to reason.

"Th-That's right… I'm embarrassed as well… I didn't even notice I just jumped in this bed as if it's nothing…."

"Were we just too tired yesterday to notice?..."

Apparently the two slept together already yesterday. Both became embarrassed as well, but it seems that tiredness overcame their embarrassment and went to sleep before they even noticed the embarrassment in it.

"A-Anyways, we'll basically be sleeping together on the same bed in the future, we should get used to it…"

"Th-That's right…"

The two tucked in face to face with each other, holding each other's hands.

𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘮… Yuu thought to himself.

"So warm…" but Aoi, as if relaying what was in Yuu's mind, said with clearly a smile on her face, even under the darkness of their room with the lights off.

"That's right…"

"But…"

"But?..."

"I'm a bit cold…" Aoi said as he tightly grasped her hand.

"..." Yuu immediately caught up to what she was implying, "...alright…" he said as he let go of her hand.

"Yuu?" Aoi silently said.

"There. Is this fine?" Yuu pulled her and wrapped his arms over her and hugged her tightly.

"This… is fine." Aoi said as she buried her face onto his chest. "So warm…" Aoi said as she tightly hugged him as well.

"Mmm. It is."

"Good night, Yuu."

"Yeah, good night."

Both snuggled with each other until they fell into slumber.

𝘚𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘵𝘩… 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦… Yuu thought as he caressed Aoi and brushed her hair, staring at her face while still gently embracing her within his arms. Until Yuu as well fell into slumber as he continued embracing her and the warmth over his body.
