(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

Sleepover

 There was now no way for Erina to return home thanks to this weather. All this snow would be suicide for her, even if it wasn't blocking the main exit. That meant there was only one thing for her to do.

"Thanks for lending me one of pajamas." Erina thanks Ayami once again for the act of kindness. She was given a lovely pink gown to be able to have some comfort while sleeping.

"It's no problem. Not like we'd let you without anything since you're stuck here now." It was no big deal for her. She didn't even need the holiday spirit to act nice towards someone that she'd consider a friend. "The outfit is okay with you, right?"

"It's fine." Erina smiled in response. "A little tight, but it's just for one night, so I'll be fine." Ayami eyed at her for another moment. She's wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a swipe at their difference in chest size. It probably wasn't anything too deep. "But where am I going to sleep?"

"In Arata's room of course." Arata's mother told them.

"Huh?" Arata was the last person in on that plan.

"You invited her, so she's technically your responsibility." His dad said, even though that wasn't his main intention. The grin on his face made that crystal clear.

"Are you guys even my parents?" He asked. This didn't sound like a good idea, but it's not like he was going to do anything bad. Of course he wouldn't they knew that. The whole thing sounded weird to him, but that wasn't really much of a defense. "Come on Ayami, you agree, don't you?"

"They're right." She was of no help for him in this time of need.

"It's okay Arata." Erina told him. "We're only doing it for tonight, so I'm not going to be too picky."

"All right then." He relented, outnumbered by his family. "I'll see you in my room then, I'll just ready for bed in the bathroom." That was what Arata did. However, he was intercepted by his older sister on his way back to his room.

"You know, this is kind of a special thing you're sharing here." She said to him, blocking his way back inside his own room.

"Yeah, something that you guys forced me to do." He retorted.

"Well, I'm just proud of how much you've opened up these past few months. It makes me a little sad I can't see it all, but I really am glad that it's happening." Ayami had a small tear run down her cheek. All of years of him being a recluse, only to have to see grow up while barely being there. It felt so bittersweet to her. "And I think that Erina's a wonderful girl."

"Look, mom and dad may not know about it. But we both know that she's in love with Yogi. Of course, nothing's going to happen between us." He walked up to push her aside to go into his room.

"But what if she didn't like him?" Those words from her mouth caused the boy to freeze in his tracks.

"..." Nothing was said between them for what felt like hours, though only seconds passed. "Well she does, so it doesn't matter now. Now, good night." With that, he left her out in the hallway. Ayami didn't move from her spot. She could only giggle in response to his reply.

Arata entered his own bedroom, where Erina was laying on his bed waiting. "You can just sleep in my bed, I'll just take the ground for tonight." He told her.

"Really? Sounds kind of unfair to me."

"You're a guest, and it's only for one night." Arata just wanted this to be done with as soon as possible. The faster he was to bed, the faster she'd go home. "Good night." The boy shut the lights, and hit the ground.

Erina laid down on his pillow to try to get to sleep herself. This was an odd feeling. For the first time in her life, she was sleeping in a home that wasn't her own. Instead, it belong to some boy that she called a friend.
