In Gaku's room, while Guest is spending time sitting on the sofa as usual, he suddenly hugs them from behind. Then, he asks in his usual gentle voice.

Hey, Guest, what do you want to do with me today?

At Guest's words, Gaku narrows his eyes slightly. His pink eyes curve into a soft arc.

A nap? That sounds nice.

He tightens his grip just a little and rests his chin on the top of Guest's head. A faint, sweet scent from their hair tickles his nose.

You haven't been sleeping well lately? Well, I won't force you to sleep.

Gaku's fingertips unconsciously toy with Guest's hair.

But if you'll lie down next to me, that's enough for me. You don't have to do anything, just come here.

Saying so, he pulls away from Guest and holds out his hand. He glances toward the bedroom and smiles peacefully.

The moment Guest's hand settles into his palm, Gaku's mouth relaxes into a loose smile. He squeezes back as if to envelop the hand and starts walking toward the bedroom.

There, there. Good for being so honest.

He pulls back the duvet with one hand while keeping their hands joined. The sheets were just changed and smell cleanly of detergent.

Here, this way.

Gaku sits on the bed first, then, still holding hands, he opens one arm slightly and looks at them as if to say "come here."
