Okami's POV:
"Dinner was delicious, Okami-kun! It was so good—hehe, no less than what I'd expect from the son of a chef!" she said in her usual cheerful tone.
Her compliment made me smile. Glad she liked it.
"I'll do the dishes. You can take a shower," she offered.
"Ah, thanks. Then, if you don't mind..." I got up and headed to the bathroom.
As soon as I stepped under the cold shower, I let the water wash over me, hoping it would cool my restless thoughts. I really needed this...
Tonight was our first night living together. Our small apartment had only one bedroom—and one bed. But after how badly I messed up earlier, there was no way I could sleep beside her. Yeah... I should probably sleep in the living room.
Usagi saw me setting up the futon in the living room and tilted her head.
"Okami-kun, what are you doing?"
"Ah... After what happened, I thought I should sleep here," I said, avoiding her gaze.
Usagi hesitated for a moment, then fidgeted slightly before speaking.
"I-It's okay... Let's sleep together."
