Just Sleep (JunNana)

(Published December 25, 2020)

No One's POV

Junna is a hardworking student. She studies whenever she can and she will, for the sake of taking hold of her own star. But oddly enough, today seemed to be one of the rare occasions where she can't seem to put her mind at a pedestal.

It does happen. If Nana were there, she'd totally be laughing at Junna right now. That's not the case. It happens because Nana isn't there. Junna can't help but worry about a sensitive soul like Nana's.

In the first place she doesn't have to worry at all. Nana is just helping with the Class B students, being a mix student. But Junna doesn't have control as to where her thoughts would be going, and she always, always, somehow end up thinking about Nana one way or another.

Junna can always keep herself busy. Drown herself in the books of self research she has brought herself to the room. Keep notes about quotes that strike her so much, sometimes memorizing them. And then say it to Nana at times when she needs to hear it. The smile on Nana's face then makes Junna's chest tighten.

She thinks about Nana again.

Sighing in defeat, Junna changes into her sleepwear, lightly waves off the heat that was catching in her cheeks. Looking out the window, she notes the subtle cold wind sleek through the crease of the window. She went to close it, not wanting to catch anything from sleeping in a cold environment.

When she was about to fall down on her own bed, Junna stops on her tracks. Taking another moment to make a rather embarrassing decision. She looked to the other side of the room. Of course it was empty, Nana still had something to do. It takes her a good minute to finally decide she's going to sleep on Nana's bed. She nodded to herself in approval.

Nana wouldn't question why Junna was sleeping on her bed, but this would be the first time for Junna to go on Nana's bed without being invited to. Junna's sure that Nana would somehow wake her up when she returns. With that belief, Junna fell asleep in the comfort of Nana's scent, hugging close the banana plushie that Nana often holds in her sleep. The thought of waking up in Nana's arms made her smile to sleep.

The blonde was already walking her way back to the dorm. The girls from Class B had said that they'll finish on their own and that Nana can go back. She took her time going to the dorm, silently taking in the fresh air of the night and the absence of people compared during daytime. Of course that also meant Nana embracing the cold.

It's night and fall is coming to an end. Signalling the near of winter, warmer clothes are needed, taking care of self with heat. That much Nana is sure she's safe of. She's got Junna with her after all.

Thoughts of her Junna-chan made her pace faster, but she's still walking. Maybe she'd find Junna still on her desk, scribbling something down in her notebook, or finding Junna had fallen asleep on the desk with her back slouched down, or even better, Junna would be sleeping on her bed. The last option seemed to be the best, but the first option would be happiness. Junna greeting Nana with that smile that is only reserved for her, the slight crease of her brows along with it, and last but not least the care and love that just pierces through Nana by Junna's jade orbs.

When Nana opened the door to their shared room, the three options fell apart as with Nana's line of thoughts. Junna was sleeping on Nana's bed.

Junna was sleeping on Nana's bed.

An incredible red immediately colored her cheeks, it even reached the tips of her ears.

This was a first.

Junna never slept on Nana's bed before, but the mere sight of seeing Junna on the yellow covers of Nana's bed made Nana's heart beat faster. The beating of her own heart pounded in her ears. Resulting in Nana closing the door behind her in a second, she mentally apologized to the girls who might've woken up by the sound. Thankfully, Junna hadn't made a move against the noise.

Nana had put her bag on the floor and got herself a change of clothes. Noting that Junna was still peacefully asleep, she takes it as a time to change. She takes a deep breath to calm herself.

Except her mind wasn't cooperating with her.

It was in short, chaos. She was overthinking this. She even thought of taking Junna's bed instead, but she immediately shut down that idea. She'll not last if she fell asleep on Junna's bed or her scent. Sleeping on the floor called for a scolding from Junna, so that was not an option. The only option then was to sleep on her bed with Junna on it.

Comfortable with the sleepwear on her, Nana takes a look around the room. That helped her calm down. Nana smiled when she saw the neatly arranged desk of Junna's that was usually in a mess. Nana concludes it was one of those days. Nana knows, of course she knows.

Sleep was already upon her as a yawn came out of her mouth. Nana gently gets on her bed, not wanting to wake Junna awake. Nana cautiously wraps her arms on Junna's waist, resting her face on Junna's neck.

Feeling the familiar warmth on her, Junna turns around and reciprocates the hug. Tiredly opening her eyes, she sees the blonde she was just hoping to see, a sleepy smile shows.

"You're back, Nana."

Nana's heart skips a beat, but she brushes it off and plants a peck on Junna's lips.

"I'm back. Sorry. Did I wake you?" Nana asked, her brows creases downward.

Junna shakes her head and buries herself into Nana's chest.

"This was what I wanted..." Junna's muffled voice was heard, but heard nonetheless. The sleepy tone noted by Nana. "Good night, Nana."

Hearing Junna say that, Nana couldn't help herself but bring Junna a little bit closer. This what the both of them exactly needed, to be in the warmth and comfort of each other's arms.

"Good night, Junna-chan."
