When I woke up, sunlight was already streaming through the half-closed blinds, illuminating the blanket-covered room. Several cups of tea and cocoa stood unfinished on Kenji's desk. The spy himself was still sleeping soundly, pressed against my side with one of my arms wrapped around him- wait, what the hell?! 

Gake: (Oh shit, why are we so close?! I mean, it's not like I mind, but what if Kenji does?!)

As much as I didn't want to admit it, it felt... weirdly nice, having him this close to me. I knew this was exactly what I'd been avoiding last night by sleeping on the other side of the bed, but I couldn't deny how incredible it was. A gentle warming feeling began to glow within my chest as I lay wondering how I was going to get out of this situation. It was so tempting to just stay like this with him... but I couldn't risk him waking up and freaking out.

I moved my arm gingerly, pulling it away at tortoise speed to avoid waking him. Unfortunately, I failed, as I felt Kenji tense up slightly. His grey eyes opened in bleary confusion, staring into my brown and green ones.

Kenji: Oh, hey... how are-

Apparently, Kenji had finally registered the situation, as he shot up like a rabbit in the beam of a flashlight. I could tell he had turned beet red even though both of his arms were crossed in front of his face in embarrassment.

Kenji: Omigosh, I am SO sorry! I didn't do it on purpose, I promise!! I just woke up like this, and-

Gake: No, no, it's ok!! I thought YOU'D be mad!

Kenji: Why would I be?

Gake: Because we were... agh, I can't even say it!! How did this happen?!

Kenji: Well, I don't mind! It wasn't so bad!

Gake: Huh?

Kenji: I MEAN- aargh!! F-forget I said anything!!

Shirai: Wh-what's going-g on?

Clearly all the commotion had woken Shirai, who was now staring at us like a certain animatronic bear from a certain well-known horror game series. I wasn't sure she had seen us when I woke up, a silver lining that filled me with relief.

Gake: We're- just talking, right Kenji?

Kenji: Haha, yeah!! Just talking!

Shirai: ...Hmm. O-okay, then.

She didn't seem convinced, but either way she didn't seem interested in what was actually happening. Thank God for that.

Shirai: I'm going to- to go. You c-an sleep i-in, if you w- if you want.

Gake: Nah, I think I'll get changed and head out as well.

Kenji: Me too.

So that's exactly what we did. Since Shirai had already left, I got changed in the bedroom area, while Kenji got changed in the bathroom. I pulled on my green shirt, before deciding to tie my hair up in a tiny mockery of a ponytail. My hair wasn't long enough to do it properly, so it was really more of a... hamster-tail, or something. When Kenji exited the bathroom, I noticed that he was wearing yet another different bandana; this time it was white and navy blue. His hair was still slightly messed up due to having just woken up, a look I thought suited him rather well.
