A Secret?
“Don’t you want to sleep with me, Renjo-kun?”
Aino was sitting on the bed, her cheeks were red and she was smiling.
Toru was flustered.
No matter how many times I’m engaged to her, I still feel like that’s a bad idea. It’s not like we’re dating.
“Well, we’re both underage, so if anything happens to us, we’re ……”
“Do you mind if I stay in bed with you?”
“It’s not that I mind. I’m rather happy about it……”
Toru couldn’t help but say what he really felt, and he thought he had made a mistake. It was nice to know that a beautiful girl like Aino wanted to be next to him.
Aino trusted Toru and needed him. That hadn’t been the case for a long time, ever since Chika and the Konoe family had given up on him.
So he was happy to hear Aino say so, but……
Aino’s face lit up.
“If I want to sleep with you and you want to sleep with me, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?”
“Well, yes, but ……”
Aino was so aggressive that Toru flinched. Aino, perhaps embarrassed herself, lowered her eyes.
Then, in a whisper, she whispered.
“You know, I …… often have trouble sleeping at night.”
“I see.”
“I take sleeping pills, but I …… feel uneasy being alone, I guess.”
Aino didn’t seem to be getting along with her mother, and she was alone at school.
She was lonely all the time and also seemed to have a sensitive personality.
It’s not so surprising to hear that she has trouble sleeping.
“So, I thought that if Renjo-kun was next to me, I might be able to sleep in peace. Is that wrong?”
Toru was unsure.
He thought that sleeping in the same bed was a problem, but Aino wanted it.
And Toru promised to help Aino.
Toru thought about it and nodded.
“Then we’ll sleep in the same bed …….”
“Really!?”
“Of course. Oh, um, I’m not going to do anything weird.”
“Do you mind if I do it separately?”
Aino’s blue eyes sparkled with mischief and happiness.
Toru felt embarrassed and looked away.
He decided to change the subject.
“Well, dinner will be delivered …….”
The Konoe family has provided plenty of money for living expenses for the time being.
In that sense, there was no need to worry.
“What should we eat?”
“Whatever you like.”
“Thank you.”
Aino smiled gently.
In the end, the two of them discussed it and decided to order a pizza.
Aino clapped her hands.
“In addition, as I mentioned in front of Konoe-san, there is one more thing I wanted to do when we moved in together.”
“I’ll do anything I can to help.”
When Toru said that, Aino nodded and began to open her mouth.
But Aino tilted her head and thought about it. Her golden hair swayed softly.
(What’s wrong with her ……?)
Aino giggled.
“It’s still a secret.”
“What!? Why!?”
“Because if I told you, the serious Renjo-kun would definitely object.”
“If I’m going to object, then don’t try it.”
“Don’t worry….., I’m sure Renjo-kun will be happy to know that. You’ll find out soon enough.”
Aino said to Toru with a huge smile. He feel like she’s thinking of something strange.
But her smile was so dainty and cute that Toru gave up pursuing the matter any further. Aino was right, and that night, he was reminded of what she had planned to do.
