Mariko wakes up first, eyes fluttering a few times in her unfamiliar environment. She comes face to face with a still sleeping Haibara, whose large arm is wrapped tightly around her waist.
"H... Haibara?" He doesn't wake, and she increases her volume. "Haibara-kun?"
Finally, his big, brown eyes peel open. Immediately, he's overcome with a flush, the sensation of their warm skin touching making him stumble over his words, "You're not wearing a shirt."
"Neither are you."
"We..." Haibara is unable to complete the thought, fully aware of what they had done last night. "I'm so sorry."
"You're apologizing?"
"Sleeping with you when you're under the influence doesn't seem right, does it?"
"You were drunk too. Besides," Mariko's fingers find the charm of the golden necklace, "It felt right to me."
Haibara's expression of worry slowly melts into a smile. He's admired Mariko from the moment he met her. To know that his feelings are reciprocated filled him with joy.
Despite wanting to stay next to her like this forever, he sits up, "We should probably get out of here before Kaede-chan realizes we used her bed."
Mariko begins to scan the floor for her clothes, spotting her abandoned sweater in the corner. "I'm sure she'll be fine. Her family's so uptight, I doubt Kaede-chan even knows what sex is."
Haibara's ears flush again at the sight of Mariko tracking down her garments, wearing only her underwear. He turns toward the wall. "I won't look."
"I'm pretty sure you already did get a good look," she giggles.
But insisting that Mariko is able to change without his intrusion, Haibara offers to meet her in the dining hall for breakfast.
The moment he shuts Kaede's door, Haibara is face to face with Nanami, wrapped tightly in blanket, wearing same clothes from the night before.
The dark circles beneath his eyes twitch every so often, continuously shifting his gaze between the half dressed Haibara and the door.
Kaede wouldn't....
Haibara wouldn't....
But Nanami couldn't fight all the disgusting assumptions coursing through his mind. All of it made his head pound even harder.
At that very moment, Mariko exits the room, a quick look of shock arriving on her face when she realizes that Nanami has Haibara held in a staring contest.
Nanami's eyes uncontrollably shift between the two, but his hangover is far too much to seek answers.
"No," is all he says, before turning the other way towards his dorm.
