“You can still stay in bed.”

A fluffy body soap scent drifted from next door, and I woke up.

When I opened my eyes groggily, Mika-kun, fresh out of the shower, was lying there fiddling with his smartphone.

When our eyes met, Mika-kun looked away from his phone and smiled softly.

“Good morning. You can keep sleeping if you want.”

I was curious about Mika-kun, who had been looking at his smartphone so seriously, and my gaze naturally drifted to the screen... Then Mika-kun narrowed his eyes in amusement.

“...Hm? I was just looking for a place for lunch.”

It seemed he had been looking for a restaurant near the place he said we were going shopping. Saying that, Mika-kun brought his body a little closer to me, smartphone in one hand.

“You’ve never really liked expensive places, right? See, this one here looked like your thing.”

As our bodies drew closer, the body soap scent grew faintly stronger.

Even though I should still have been groggy from just waking up, that closeness felt oddly vivid.
