|Gamer Girlfriend| (Chiaki Nanami x Fem!Reader Self-insert)

|Chapter 4|

(Y/N)'s POV

It was around 1AM when we decided to stop playing. Neither of us had planned on playing so late, but the time just flew. We both had to get up around 6:30AM for classes, so I knew that, best case scenario, I'm gonna be super sleepy all of tomorrow. I should probably get going to my dorm, I don't want to overstay my welcome.

"Chiaki." I tried to grab her attention, though she was so hyper-fixated on the screen, she didn't hear me.

I wave my hand in front of her face. "Chiakiiiiiii." She suddenly snaps back to reality, looking at me with a confused and sleepy expression. "You really get into your games, don't you?" I chuckled.

"Yeah... Sometimes, I get so focused on games, I forget to eat, or even breathe." She smiled so nonchalantly, as if what she just said wasn't the least bit concerning. A bit stunned, I awkwardly laugh.

"You really are the Ultimate Gamer, huh?" She giggled, before pausing the game and looking at me.

"So, did you need something (Y/N)?" She asked.

"Oh, seeing it was so late I was gonna tell you I was heading back to my dorm." I said, internally disappointed that I'd have to leave Chiaki's place.

"Y-You can stay here..." Chiaki said quietly, almost as if I wasn't meant to hear.

"Huh?!" My cheeks flushed a bright red. "S-Stay here?!"

Chiaki seemed to flinch at my words. Oh, that might have come off too harsh, I probably sounded like I was strongly against the idea.

"Uh... y-yeah..." Chiaki said, still not backing off her request. "Y'know, it'd be a hassle to go back. You seem pretty tired... You can just stay on the couch if you want."

"Sure, that's be great." I smiled, reassuring Chiaki that I didn't want to leave. She seemed to relax at that, powering off the console and clearing a couple of things off of the couch. "I'll be right back." She said, signaling me to wait there. I wonder what she's doing.

She came back shortly, carrying a big fuzzy blanket and a pillow. The blanket was so big the small girl had trouble seeing over it, but she eventually made her way to the couch.

"Here." She said, dropping the blanket and pillow onto my lap.

"Thanks Chiaki." I smiled, sleepily setting them up and getting under the covers.

"Alright, I'm gonna head to bed now." She said softly, sleepiness in her voice. She turned the light off, and I spoke without thinking.

"G'Night Chiaki, see you in the morning." I heard Chiaki laugh at my sleepy words.

"Goodnight (Y/N)."

I waited until I heard to door to her bedroom shut to mutter the words "I love you...".

~~~

My eyes slowly opened to see... Huh? Why am I in Chiaki's bed? I look to my left and see Chiaki sitting up, smiling sleepily.

"Huh? Chiaki, what am I doing here?" I ask, very confused. She gave me a weird look, then smiled.

"Well, you sleep here, I don't know what else to tell you." She giggled, scooting closer me so our shoulders were touching.
