Last night, slightly past midnight.
Shuffling under the bedsheets, Kiernan stared silently at the ceiling while feeling Aoi's naked body clinging against his arm.
She was soundly asleep and snuggled up against him as if seeking warmth and comfort in his presence.
Kiernan couldn't sleep.
He'd prefer getting a good night's sleep before the important matches, but once again, his nerves were fighting against him.
He couldn't help but think about tomorrow, knowing that it was an important day, and he didn't want to lose.
"Sigh…"
Kiernan carefully moved Aoi off him, carefully placed her head on the pillow, sat back up, and covered her naked self with the blanket.
She looked like she was frowning as she lost the warmth she loved very much.
Kiernan put his clothes on, caressed the ring on his finger, and then silently left the room so that he wouldn't wake up a certain someone.
…
A few hours later.
