It had been a couple of hours since Ryu-chan and her friends finished their Christmas party. I, after eating my dinner and staying to celebrate with them, watched them leave, and went back to my room to continue sleeping.
However, it was around 2 AM, and I was thirsty, so I went downstairs to the living room, heading towards the kitchen.
On my way down, I noticed that the TV was still on, which confused me a bit.
Shouldn't they be asleep by now?
I thought as a possibility popped into my head.
Couldn't it be that they... N-No way, Ryu-chan and Takahashi-kun...!
A strange perverted thought came to my mind, as the last thing I remember was the two of them staying on the first floor. I guess I was a bit affected by the alcohol I drank.
I waved my hands throwing air in my face, as I tried to calm myself down. Then, I took a little courage to go into the living room, only to expect a mess of clothes.
Seriously, what am I thinking? I-I doubt that happened... Right?
Swallowing saliva, I entered the living room, only to find everything in its place.
Huh?
I realized that nothing I thought had actually happened.
Aaahh! I feel a little relieved, frustrated, and at the same time I feel like an idiot... I must've looked like a pervert for thinking something like that would happen...!
I shook my head from side to side as I tried to clear my head more. I guess I was still a bit sleepy too.
After feeling a mixture of emotions inside me, I approached the couch, only to see a very unusual, surprising, and really adorable sight.
Ryu-chan was lying right next to Takahashi-kun while hugging him and laying her head on his chest. On the other side, Takahashi-kun was also hugging her, although he seemed to do it in a delicate way, almost as if he was going to break her just by touching.
They were very close to each other, while both of them looked as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
Seeing such a scene in front of me, I could do nothing but smile.
They're really adorable...
I thought as I blushed due to the tenderness it gave me to see the two of them like that.
Takahashi-kun, you have my full consent to date Ryu-chan.
I thought again as I raised my thumb.
But I never thought they would have a relationship this close.
I wondered as I looked at them.
At that moment, I heard Ryu-chan say something as she snuggled her head between Takahashi-kun's arms and chest.
"How warm... I like it... Atsushi..." She said in a very childish and innocent tone.
It was then that Takahashi-kun unconsciously clung to Ryu-chan, and they slept even closer than before.
My blushing face from such tenderness was very noticeable, so much so that I didn't want to make any noise so as not to wake them up. However, I realized that they were not covered enough by the blanket they were wearing, so I approached them quietly, and covered them so that they would be warm enough to spend the night.
As I did that, I noticed the cups of hot chocolate on the small table, and some small packets of chocolates that looked familiar.
T-This is...
I realized I was an actual idiot.
These chocolates were given to me at the office as a Christmas present, and these contained liquor in them. I planned to keep them for myself only, but I was very careless, and Ryu-chan ended up eating them.
She probably got drunk because of the liquor in the chocolates. I could tell by seeing about 5 wrappers of chocolates on the small table.
Ryu-chan, I think you exaggerated a little...!
I thought as I cleaned up what was left behind.
Once I took everything that was there, I took it to the kitchen. I turned on one of the 2 lights in the kitchen, just to wash the cups, throw away the chocolate wrappers, and drink a glass of water.
After taking a glass of water, I took another one for Ryu-chan and left it on the small table in the living room. The whole process was tedious, as I had to be very stealthy, but I managed to do it all quietly, and had no trouble getting out of the place without waking them up.
I turned off the lights, the TV and anything else nearby that could disturb them –leaving only the Christmas tree on—.
Once I finished my work in the living room, I went back to my room, while I was glad to see Ryu-chan fully enjoying her youth. Though a doubt arose in my mind when I reached the room.
They were probably sleeping like that for another reason, but still I wonder, what kind of feelings does Ryu-chan have for Takahashi-kun?
While thinking about that, I went back to bed, and without realizing it, I fell asleep after 3 minutes.
