Chapter 38 - Assisted

The pouring rain outside the windows set a reminder of what we could have experienced: cold, rain, and everything else awful…

We got back at about 1 in the morning… Now I'm waiting for Nil to finish her shower so I can get warmed up.

To be honest, I don't really know how to describe the walk; it was fun, it was nice, and it was comfortable up to the last 10 minutes. I would definitely do it again… But at the same time, my social battery is gone, completely used up.

The sound of the ticking clock was soothing, the room w quite dark with only the sound of running water to break that silence. The couch felt as though I were sinking into it, the soft texture melting away my subconscious worry.

*Tick*

In a moment, I opened my eyes again, but found myself in my bed as if last night had never happened.

I got up, pulling off my sheets, revealing that I was still fully clothed in yesterday's outfit, 'so it wasn't a dream, eh?'

I looked at my phone; 9 In the morning? I slept in today…

I stepped out of my room, the lights already on and the apartment already warmed up.

"Oh, hello, Kea! Did you sleep well?" Nil asked as she emerged from the living room.

"I guess it was good. How about you?"

She smirked. "Well… It took me a while to fall asleep, but it was fine!"

I looked at where I had fallen asleep, and the couch was just as it was before I fell asleep. That would mean…

A sudden feeling of confusion and wonder struck me. So embarrassing… I almost don't want to believe it, but… I was carried to my bed…

This… was not how I wanted to start out a new friendship.
