266 Night and Dream (1/2)

I stared at Emilia with my eyes wide in astonishment. I quickly glanced over at Mura, who appeared nonchalant about Emilia's proposal. But the thing is...shouldn't this be considered weird? A normal reaction shouldn't be no reaction. Rather, it should be something...more resistant and such.

”Sleeping on the couch is uncomfortable,” Emilia explained. ”We got room here.”

”But...but...” I muttered as my eyes quickly darted about the simply furnished room with a sliding glass door leading to a balcony. There weren't really much to take note of in this room as all the furniture were rather typical with the only thing worthy of noting is the unnaturally, almost ambrosia sweet scent.

”You wouldn't do anything,” Mura commented as she began applying what appeared to be skin-care products. ”Right?” she smiled in a teasing manner in my direction. It was a look of extreme confidence that she had on, almost as if she was absolutely sure that nothing will happen, which I guess is correct because nothing will happen.

”Yeah,” I nodded. ”But...”

”Then what's the problem?” Emilia asked as she looked at me with a stern gaze.

Upon seeing her countenance, it oddly felt rather nostalgic. With her long hair down in a natural manner while dressed in a comfortable night gown with shoulder straps, I felt as if I've seen her like this sometime in the past, and that is not when she stayed in my room when I first met her. It felt...even longer ago than that.

”It's...awkward,” I softly muttered.

I shyly blushed and looked away, avoiding their gaze. However, I have the feeling that no matter what I say, the outcome of this have already been decided.

I do not know how this happened. I am originally supposed to be sharing a room and a bed with four other guys. Then, since that long bed is simply too crowded for the five of us, I offered to sleep in the living room and on the couch. Due to some unforeseen circumstances...I am for some reason laying down right now, on a bed and in between my two female teachers in their mid-twenties. Since it was the summer time, their sleepwear were rather...lacking in material with lots of skin exposed especially around the shoulders and starting from the thigh and down. And due to the hot weather, all we had to cover ourselves with were a light and thin blanket that was rested over our stomachs. Therefore, that had no effect in concealing any skin.

”Are you...” I heard Mura's voice whisper by my ear and felt the wind blow gently on and into my ear as she spoke. ”nervous right now?”

Her voice was in a seductive and soft whisper. It had a...rather alluring effect as it made my heart palpitate greatly in my chest as I did everything in my power to contain my body. I didn't dare turn my head to look at either of them nor did I dare to allow my eyes to dart around the room. All I did was focused my eyes that had now adjusted to the dark on the light built into the ceiling of the room.

I heard a soft chuckle from Mura's direction, and I almost subconsciously turned and looked in her direction. However, I caught myself before my focus slipped and mistakes were made.

This...this might be even worse than sleeping on the couch, I thought to myself as I let out a sigh.

”Is it a bit too hot in here?” Emilia's soft voice was accompanied by her soft breathing and entered in through my right ear. Then, I heard the sound of skin rubbing against the cloth of the bed sheet covering the mattress we were resting on underneath, leading me to believe that she must have shifted in her resting position, possibly to her laying on her side while facing in my direction.

”A...a little bit,” I responded, feeling beads of sweat forming on my forehead out of a prolonged state of agitation. ”It's just that...I think this needs some getting used to.”

”Well,” Mura softly chuckled. ”Have fun with that. I'm going to sleep now,” she said, yawning.

Subconsciously, I turned my head in her direction, and this time, I wasn't able to stop myself in time. She was laying on her side while facing my direction with her eyes closed. It would appear that she is allowing herself to drift into her state of slumber.
