Feeling the faint light filtering through the gap in the curtains behind my eyelids, my consciousness rapidly surfaced. Im actually pretty good at waking up, when its time to get up, I can usually do it in one smooth motion.When I slowly opened my eyes, what jumped into view was Kaori-sans face, sleeping so peacefully h- hmmm ah, r- right, thats what happened!? So I ended up falling asleep like that after all I really messed up.
I was startled for a moment, but as I recalled the situation from before we went to sleep, an indescribable sense of guilt welled up inside me. Id wanted to wait until Kaori-san woke up, if possible, but Id just gone and fallen asleep so easily and whats more, Id slept soundly all the way till morning.
Wait, hold on. Isnt this weird? The smooth texture of her clothes and a soft warmth were reaching my hand. And this closeness arent I in a position where Im hugging Kaori-san!? No, its more than that, were completely holding each other, arent we!?
Did we unconsciously end up like this while we were asleep? A- Anyway, if Kaori-san wakes up in this state, how am I supposed to explain it I need to let go right away
[nnn ahfuu.]
[ ! ? ]
But reality is cruel like that. Just as I thought that, Kaori-san shifted slightly, then opened her eyes with a sleepy little sound and our gazes met perfectly.

Awkward unbearably awkward. Kaori-san looked surprised for a split second when she saw me, but soon she seemed to grasp the situation and put on an awkward expression of her own.
The fact that she wasnt panicking, did that mean she might have woken up at some point during the night? But since we hadnt separated ah, could it be that by then I was already holding her and she couldnt pull away, or something like that!?
[M- Morning.]
[Good morning.]
[E- Errr]
[S- Sorry. I mean, I know this is kind of a strange situation, but errr, I just feel bad about it.]
[N- No! Its probably like this, right? I fell asleep, and then after that I ended up bothering you unconsciously!? If anything, Im the one who caused you trouble in all sorts of ways, sorry!]
It was like we both didnt know how to move, so we just exchanged words for the time being. Thankfully, Kaori-san seemed to have grasped the situation pretty accurately, and it didnt look like she was harboring any weird misunderstandings.
Of course, she was blushing from embarrassment, and I was probably red-faced too, but it was reassuring that the conversation itself seemed to be moving along smoothly.
[From my side too, it probably ended up like this while we were asleep, right?]
[I- I think so. I actually woke up once in the middle of the night, and even then we were already in this position]
[No, Im really sorry.]
[No, its more my fault, and its not something Kaito-kun needs to apologize for. Besides, this is probably going to turn into a never-ending loop, so lets just stop arguing about whos at fault for now. Lets just say we both have things to reflect on]
[Y- Yeah.]
What was truly fortunate was that Kaori-san was quick to switch gears. If we kept blaming each other and apologizing, the conversation wouldnt go anywhere, so I appreciated that she shifted to the next topic.
[M- Maybe its about time we let go, both of us]
[Y- Yeah.]
After taking a breath there, I realized we were still in that embracing position and hastily pulled my body away.
[D- Did I sweat in my sleep? I didnt smell weird or anything, did I?]
[N- No, if anything you smelled nice I mean, in that sense, Im more worried about whether I made you uncomfortable]
[Y- Yeah, no, thats totally fine. I mean, of course it was super embarrassing, but i- its not like I hated it or anything a- anyway! Lets just say theres no problem on either side!!! Yes, this topic is over!!! F- For now, Ill go back to my room and change. B- Breakfast is fine here, right?]
[Y- Yes, thats fine.]
[T- Then Ill come back here after I change. S- So, um, see you later!!!]
Overwhelmed by embarrassment, Kaori-san rattled all that off with a red face and then left the room. I was left with an indescribable sense of awkwardness myself and lightly scratched my cheek.
It wasnt like things had turned sour, and considering Kaori-sans personality, shed probably be back to her usual self by the time she returned.
Still, that aside, the sensation of holding Kaori-san was lingering in my memory pretty vividly I feel like Im going to be quite conscious of it from now on.
But since Kaori-san also said it wasnt unpleasant for her it might just be my own conceit, but I cant help thinking that she might be looking at me in a somewhat favorable light too.
Man, just thinking about it is pretty embarrassing Anyway, I should get changed too.
Pop-senpai : [Guaaaah, so sweet K- Kaori, how terrifying and on top of that, shes cleared the part thats arguably the highest difficulty and takes the most time. Shes completed the step of making Kaito consciously see her as a romantic interest I- In one go, shes become the top contender for next girlfriend]
Makina : [With such a perfect flow, even Mama is completely satisfied. That aside though Your names actually coming back that half-baked way?]
Pop-senpai : [I feel like the cause is you, if anything]
