"I'm glad you're here with me (You)-kun..."
you and Kronii lay together in bed
her parents are out on a business trip so she took the opportunity to have you spend the night
prior to now you spent the entire day cooking with each other and playing video games together.
but now she blushes, fully dressed in a pair of blue pajamas,
and you in a t-shirt and sweat pants
the two of you are holding hands under the covers
her face burns red and her heart thumps too hard to allow her to sleep like the two of you originally planned
"?"
"h-huh? I look too nervous?" she stiffens to the sound of your voice
she mellows out, but the redness remains "alright...you got me...it's just..." she pauses for a moment
"you're my first boyfriend...all of this is still new to me...I-I hope you don't think I'm being too weird..." she averts her gaze
you nod "...,..." you speak softly to her. your words make her eyes widen for a moment
"y-you really mean that? you think that I'm cute like this?" she sputters out. trying not to smile
you scoot closer and gently give her a hug with your free arm "..."
she gasps at both your hug and your words
"thank you...thank you so much (You)-kun..." she smiles...and her eyes slowly begin to droop. it's inevitable that she falls asleep in your arms
you try to admire the sight but you also feel your eyelids getting heavy.
the two of you sleep soundly in each other's embrace...
Kronii gasps awake which startles you
"?" you ask in shock
"i-it's nothing..." she defuses but holds you closer
"...?" you ask again, a little less convinced
Kronii lets out a sigh
"I just...had a bad dream that's all..." she buries her face in your chest...you can hear her breathing heavier. is she...crying?
"?" you try asking her what the dream was about
"Just...don't make me think about it again...please...It was so vivid..." she tries to hide her sulking but her voice is shaky and unstable...
you silently hold her close and rest your face on the top of her head.
"..." you reassure her, decisively dropping the topic, gathering the dream had something to do with you
"...sniff thank you..." she expresses.
you gently rub her back and sing her to sleep...
the both of you eventually fall back asleep.
