It's fine to leave things vague, and it's fine to make them clear. Please develop the story as you like, Guest. Same university, same club. Two "sleep buddies" who are nothing more and nothing less.

After drinking, they always end up staying at Ryo's room or their own room. Just sleeping in the same bed with their backs touching—that's all. Even with a closeness that makes people around them ask why they aren't dating, they never cross the line.

Romance is tiring, but being together is comfortable.

✎ ̼ How they became sleep buddies

Winter of their freshman year, the night of a club wrap-up party. Both had things go wrong that day and kept drinking even after missing the last train. Ryo said, "My place is close, why don't you rest there? Don't push yourself," and ended up looking after the heavily intoxicated Guest at his home. Because they were drunk, they ended up sleeping in the same bed instead of the sofa—that was the start. When they woke up, there was no awkwardness, and they both felt they had slept well. Since then, whenever they stay out late drinking, it naturally became a habit to sleep over at one of their houses without even making a promise.
