A night passed.
"Achoo!", In his sleep, Aoba suddenly felt the tip of his nose very itchy, as if something was scratching it.
He suddenly let out a big sneeze, then slowly opened his eyes.
Outside the sky was still raining. A whole night had passed, and the rain seemed to have gotten even heavier. But it looked like it was already dawn.
He also saw the culprit that caused him to sneeze.
On top of Konan's head, a strand of hair was stubbornly standing upright.
Just like her personality.
It looked like this was the tool that had just woken him up.
But even though the sound of his sneeze was quite loud, Konan didn't show the slightest intention of waking up.
She was sleeping very soundly.
After all, yesterday was quite intense.
He hadn't expected that Konan, after getting drunk, would show such a contrast.
But well, it's just that her skill couldn't match her ambition.
Clearly, she said that even if he screamed till his throat broke, it would be useless. But in the end, the one who screamed till their throat broke wasn't him.
She was indeed very stubborn.
Always wanting to occupy the leading position, even when her waist was too weak to stay upright at the end, she still stubbornly refused to admit defeat.
This part was somewhat a little similar to Yugao.
But this also made her lose even faster.
So much so that it only took a few times and she...
However, Konan's state after getting drunk really gave him a completely different feeling.
Usually she had a rather indifferent, even cold demeanor, but last night she was unexpectedly enthusiastic. Which Aoba truly liked from the bottom of his heart.
Even now, already into the second day, he could still recall and savor the feeling from last night.
Speaking of which, it was a bit of a pity that Konan's codename in Akatsuki was obviously...
But after getting into action, he found out it wasn't the case.
Still, it didn't affect anything. Bluish-purple also had its own charm.
'Hmm… My love range is still very broad.'
Looking at the still-sleeping Konan, even though he didn't know what time it was now, he didn't care at all.
He pressed down that stubborn ahoge on her head, then hugged her and happily fell back asleep.
———
"Mm… What time is it now?", Konan also rubbed her eyes. She had slept too late last night and drank too much. Now her head was still a bit dizzy.
It wasn't just her head, her whole body felt like it was about to fall apart.
Now she finally understood why Yugao and Terumi Mei had to go in together.
If it's just one person, who could endure this?
She even considered last night whether she should think of a way to join Yugao and their team later.
But thinking again, maybe it was better to leave it for now.
After all, they had only just started living together. This kind of thing was still a bit inappropriate.
At worst, let Aoba finish with Yugao and them, then come find her.
In that case, maybe she could win.
Konan subconsciously tried to get up, but found herself tightly hugged by Aoba.
Seeing he still had no intention of waking up.
She simply gave up the idea of getting up, quietly lying in Aoba's arms.
This was Konan's first time sleeping while being held by someone.
Listening to the slightly noisy sound of rain outside the window.
In this not-so-quiet room, Konan could clearly hear both of their heartbeats.
She placed her ear on Aoba's chest, silently feeling the heartbeat from his chest, and the warmth from his body. Konan's eyes became slightly blurry again.
'So this is Aoba's warmth.'
Apparently… the feeling from that and the feeling from that were very different.
'But, Hmm… Still that one… feels more comfortable.'
Konan couldn't help but raise her head again, gently gazing at Aoba's sleeping face.
It was her first time seeing what he looked like while asleep.
Obedient and well-behaved, totally different from his unruly demeanor when awake.
"Still cuter when asleep," Konan reached out and pinched Aoba's cheek, then rubbed her face gently against his, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, softly murmuring:
"Just like a married couple," Thinking of the experience from last night, aside from the pain at the beginning, she was completely immersed in it afterwards.
It was a very beautiful experience. If only she had won at the end, that would have been perfect.
But...
'The future should be even more beautiful than now.'
'We will get married, I will have his children, and the whole family will stay together for a lifetime…'
Konan, feeling the incomparably reassuring warmth from Aoba's body, began to imagine the future in her heart.
'Then…'
"Hmm?", Konan suddenly felt something strange. The next moment, she couldn't help but lift the blanket.
She didn't know when it had happened, but inside the blanket, a beast had slipped in.
"This guy, what kind of monster is he really?", Konan's face flushed red, and an inexplicable fire surged in her heart.
She recalled the life-and-death battle she had with this beast last night. Even though she had used all her skills, she was still no match for him.
So now, she couldn't help but want to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
"Konan-nee, what are you doing?", At this moment, a slightly surprised voice sounded in the room.
Konan subconsciously looked up, and met Aoba's surprised eyes.
Konan's body trembled slightly, forcing a straight face, pretending to be worried, she said, "I was afraid you'd catch a cold, so I was helping you cover the blanket."
Then she silently pulled the blanket up and shrank entirely inside it.
Aoba felt like steam was about to come out of her head.
"Aoba!"
Shrinking inside the blanket like an ostrich, Konan felt her body was once again falling into his control.
Konan shyly placed her hand between the two of them, but didn't resist.
"Konan-nee, you weren't like this last night," Aoba gently embraced Konan's body, speaking with a teasing tone.
Konan's face turned even redder, stammering a bit as she explained.
"I… I was drunk yesterday, I don't remember anything."
"Really? But I wasn't drunk, I remember everything clearly."
Aoba buried his face in her hair, "Want me to help Konan-nee remember again?"
"..."
Seeing Konan stay silent, Aoba's evil hand slid directly to her thigh.
He lifted her thigh slightly. Found a suitable spot and began to knead her thigh, and now and then...
And each time was just a test.
Seeing the shyness and expectation on Konan's face, Aoba still continued.
———
"Konan-nee, next time don't be so stubborn."
Konan's face was full of exhaustion. After hearing his words, she still pursed her lips, "I wasn't being stubborn!"
"And clearly, I'm the older one…"
Looking at the stubborn Konan, Aoba suddenly remembered a saying.
At the fiercest age, he met the fiercest her.
