Do you think you're the only one?

Not only the fact that this isn’t a bed I’m used to sleeping in is keeping me awake.

It’s embarrassing even to myself that I’m saying things like how fresh Furusame-san looks in sweats, or how nervous I am about the situation of sleeping together in Furusame-san’s bed...

“Why are you apologizing?”

“Me too... well, when I stay at a hotel on a business trip, it takes me a while to fall asleep too. The smell and firmness are different.”

That’s not quite what I meant! When I retorted like that, Furusame-san was laughing like a child.

Could it be that he was trying to help me relax? If so, he’s really a kind person....

“You haven’t done anything wrong, so you don’t need to apologize... and besides,”

He raised his body from lying face-down and stared intently at me.

“Do you think you’re the only one who can’t sleep?”

“Maybe I’m the same.”
