It was a very bold request for Arisa.

“S-sleeping together…”

“Can’t we…?”

Arisa tilted her head anxiously.

“Last night… It was so warm and comfortable… That’s why I want to do it… I’m sure it will be fine if we sleep together.”

It was a sweet voice.

It’s not a bad idea.

If anything, it is a reward, is what he would say…

(But my reason is...)

Yuzuru was not confident in holding onto his own reason.

The defenseless body of his fiancée will be right next to him.

He was not sure if he could control himself in such a situation.

Nevertheless…

(But I can’t refuse either.)

It was Yuzuru who made the request first.

It would be against morality to refuse Arisa’s proposal.

Above all, it would be a little rude to refuse an invitation from his fiancée.

“Okay. All right… Let’s sleep together.”

“Thank you very much.”

Arisa said with a somewhat relieved expression.

After some discussion, They decided to get under the futon together.

They decided to sleep together in the futon because there was a possibility that one of them would fall off the bed.

Both Yuzuru and Arisa are not bad sleepers, but when they sleep together on a single bed, there is a possibility that one of them will fall.

With a futon, there’s no need to worry about falling.

“P-please take care of me.”

For some reason, Arisa sat upright and said that.

Yuzuru felt a little weird.

He couldn’t help but scratch his cheek.

“Shall we sleep then?”

“Yes.”

But Arisa didn’t get under the covers.

She stared at Yuzuru’s face with moist eyes.

“…Arisa?”

“…Good night.”

Arisa said as if wanting something.

Yuzuru finally caught on to Arisa’s attitude.

“…Ah, good night.”

He lightly kissed Arisa on the cheek.

Then Arisa’s face turned bright red and she slumped under the covers.

She buried her face in the pillow, looking embarrassed.

She looked so cute.

Yuzuru also turned off the light and crawled into the futon.

“Yuzuru-san…”

Then his fiancee snuggled up to him.

She clung to Yuzuru’s arm as if she was entangled in it.

“Are you okay?”

“…Yes.”

Arisa hugged Yuzuru’s arm, pressing it against her own body.

Yuzuru’s arm sank into the soft lump of fat.

A sweet scent tickled his nostrils. 

“…Arisa.”

Yuzuru also hugged Arisa’s body to his own.

He could feel her softness and body heat all over him.

“…”

“…”

The smell.

The Body heat.

The Breath.

In the darkness, they confirmed each other’s existence.

They brought their bodies together as if seeking each other.

“…Yuzuru-san.”

“…Arisa?”

Suddenly, his name was called.

He answered back… and after a few moments of silence, the voice returned.

“…Do you want to do it?”

The sweet voice tickled Yuzuru’s ears.

His body temperature rose.

Reflexively, Yuzuru hugged Arisa’s body tightly.

“Um, I’m …fine with it, you know?”

In the darkness, Arisa said.

He couldn’t see her expression.

“It’s not like …I’m fastidious or anything. Should I say it’s totally fine or…”

“Arisa.”

Gently, Yuzuru kissed Arisa’s forehead.

Then he squeezed her hand tightly.

“I want to.”

Yuzuru whispered clearly in Arisa’s ear.

Arisa’s body shivered.

“Then, then…”

“But there’ll be plenty of opportunities in the future, won’t there?”

Yuzuru then gently stroked Arisa’s hair.

He cradled her face in his chest.

“You don’t have to push yourself.”

He stroked Arisa’s head reassuringly.

Meanwhile, Arisa silently nuzzled her face into Yuzuru’s chest.

“It’s not like I am going to hate you or anything. Never.”

“But…”

With a gulp, Arisa gripped Yuzuru’s clothes tightly.

“…You want to do it, don’t you?”

“I never want to force you to do anything.”

After saying that, Yuzuru gently touched Arisa’s face with his hand.

He gently stroked her cheek, put his hand on her chin, and lightly pressed above her lips with his finger.

“This one comes first, doesn’t it?”

“That’s… right.”

Arisa’s body, which had been tense, relaxed.

Then, perhaps relieved, she began to breathe quietly in her sleep.

(…I wonder if I made her feel anxious.)

The woman’s heart is difficult.

Yuzuru closed his eyelids, thinking so.
