“Since we finally get to see each other after such a long time, I’m not going to go to bed first.”

I'm late... I wonder if Shino-kun is already asleep.

I borrowed the spare key today, so I can get into the room, but... it still feels rude to enter someone else's room in the middle of the night.

I hurried to the apartment and unlocked the door... ah, the lights are on. I wonder if he's awake.

When I said, "I'm home," and opened the door, Shino-kun, who was sitting on the bed, turned around.

"Welcome back~. Thanks for your hard work at the office."

The movie credits were paused on the monitor... looks like he stayed up watching a movie.

"Have you eaten yet? ...If you bought something, feel free to eat it. Do you want something to drink?"

It's already past 10 p.m., but he stayed awake for me... I felt a mix of guilt and happiness.

"...? I finally get to see you after so long, so I'm not going to sleep first."

As I said thank you, more than anything else I wanted to borrow the shower, so I quickly put the food I bought into the refrigerator.

"...Yeah, I'll wait, so let's sleep together."
