106 Bedtime

The bed that I laid in seemed to had a distinctive smell lingering about on the bedsheets. It was an extremely pleasant smell, one that made my brain quite happy. It was a stimulating smell, one that led to my body take a deep breath in order to sniff more of the scent. However, I made sure to do so silently so as to not be labeled a creep by the two girls laying in the bed next to mine. I then turned to lay on my stomach, allowing my face to be buried in her pillow. Then, I took a deep breath once again, smelling the scent of her shampoo.

"Alevian?" I heard Irina's voice say in the darkness which made my heart skip a beat as I initially thought that she had caught me in the act. "Are you asleep yet?"

"I don't think anyone would fall asleep immediately," Muria said. "And can you not hug me so tightly? It's kinda hard for me to move..."

"Sorry Muria." Irina's voice was extremely affectionate and gentle as she addressed her intimate friend. "But you're just so soft that it makes me want to hug on tighter."

Muria then remained silent, but I believe that must've been from her embarrassment from having that said about her body. Irina's comment actually led to me being curious as to how soft Muria was. Based on her figure, Muria is definitely considered slim. Therefore, the only soft part about her must be... her breasts? Or is it her hips?

"You better not be thinking about anything weird," Muria suddenly said to me.

"O-of course I'm not," I responded, choking slightly after being caught in the act.

"Just because Irina allowed you to sleep on her bed doesn't mean you can do whatever you want on it," Muria sighed. "Irina, you should really be more careful about things like this."

"I am careful," Irina responded. "I trust that Alevian won't do anything weird or think about anything weird. Maybe..."

"Maybe..." Muria sighed. "You never know what guys are capable of even when given our trust."

"I know," Irina then said with a slight giggle. "B-but," her voice then softened. "Alevian's different."

I won't think about anything weird? I'm sorry but it's kinda difficult for a teenage boy to not think about anything weird when sleeping on a girl's bed that also had the lingering fragrance of that girl. I think it's kinda Irina's fault if I do think about something weird because it's her scent that's making my brain race.

Something weird, huh? I asked myself.

"Ah!"

I heard a cute gasp from the other bed.

"Muria..." The same voice then softly whispered. "Your hand is... rubbing against me down there..."

What? I could feel blood beginning to flow in my body towards that body part.

"S-sorry," Muria quickly apologized with a panicking voice. "But if you didn't hug me that tight, I would be able to move my arm more..."

"Then it's also my fault too, hehe," Irina laughed casually as if that earlier incident was not an issue to her.

Although the situation seemed to have calmed down, it did not in my imaginations. I couldn't control the hormones that my body released as the chemical reactions led to the creation of a pretty lewd image of Irina, the girl who had let out that gasp.

I imagined her sitting before me on this exact same bed while turning her head in my direction and look me in the eye while blushing and displaying the timid side of her through her body posture

I imagined her sitting before me on this exact same bed while turning her head in my direction and look me in the eye while blushing and displaying the timid side of her through her body posture.

"D-don't do anything weird," the Irina in my imagination said. Her voice was weak and soft as she remained flustered by whatever we were going to do...

That imagination seemed real... Almost a bit too real. I could even smell the pleasant fragrance of her body, but... maybe that's because I'm laying in the bed that had captivated her body's scent.

Calm down, calm down...

I closed my eyes and began breathing deeply. I inhaled and then exhaled, but with each breath that I took, the beautiful smell of her body entered my body and seemed to cleanse my nostrils and lungs of any filth that they had accumulated.

Oh god...

"Can any of you sleep?" Irina's voice then asked once again.

"Not yet," Muria's voice gently responded.

"Me too," I answered. My mind had recovered from its flustered state, and I laid there on the bed with my arms beneath my head as I stared at the ceiling above. Even though the room was dark, there were a few slivers of moonlight that had entered the room through the small crevice between the curtains and my eyes had adjusted to the darkness.

"Alevian," Irina then continued to say. "What do you boys usually talk about?"

"That's quite sudden," I commented.

Then, I allowed my facial expression to relax as I recounted the stupid topics that we talked about. When I did go through my memories and looked at every single conversation we had, my countenance immediately tensed up. All the topics that involved Noah usually ended up being pretty lewd... Now how do I tell that to a girl?

"Y-you wouldn't want to know," I forced out.

"Tell me," Irina then whined. "I want to know."

"It's probably something that's inappropriate," Muria sighed.

It definitely is.

I remained silent for a bit and then turned my head to look over to the other bed. There, I saw that Irina was laying there with her eyes open and staring at me while having her body hugging onto Muria underneath the bed covers. From that gaze she directed at me, I could tell that she genuinely wanted to know about what we usually talk about.

"S-sex..." I said softly as it wasn't a topic that I was particularly proud of for being part of. Don't get me wrong. I don't take part in those conversations by will. I'm usually forced into them by Noah.

"O-oh..." She looked away and back at Muria as her face became red. "G-guys like to talk about that stuff."

"It's to be expected," Muria said. "Boys are creatures driven by lust."

"A-are you like that, Alevian?" Irina's voice then softly inquired.

"..." I remain silent as that question hit close to my heart. It was something that is difficult to answer because if I said no, then that would be taken as a lie. But if I answered with a yes, then that would make me seem as if I'm a lust driven monster. Both options seem bad.

"All boys are driven by lust to a certain point," Muria sighed and answered. "It's their natural tendency."

"So Alevian," Irina then whispered. I looked over at her and discovered that she had let go of Muria and was now using both hands to pull the bed covers up until her face was concealed and only her eyes and up was visible. "Do you fantasize about stuff like that?"

"S-sometimes," I responded, looking away to avoid eye contact and to conceal that flustered blush on my face.

"A-are you doing it now?" she then continued to ask. "Fantasizing about me and Muria..."

"O-of course not," I responded, feeling my heart pounding in my chest as my face became extremely hot as well as the rest of my body as blood circulated my body at a faster pace.

"Why did you stutter?" Her voice was so gentle yet so destructive in nature. With that simple question, she seemed to pull away at my armor, targeting for the soft and exposed flesh underneath.

"I-I..." I stuttered once again as I tried to come up with an excuse for this inquisition.

"Of course he sometimes does," Muria then answered with that same calm and cold voice of her's. "Have you not realized how perverted his gaze was when looking at you and I?"

"S-sometimes..." Irina whispered.

"So he definitely does fantasize about the two of us," Muria then concluded. "But his fantasies are what he has to be satisfied with because there's no way he'll have us physically."

"That was pretty harsh..." I muttered.

"Then did you ever think you could have your fantasies be realized?" Muria then asked in a mocking manner.

"Why not?" I responded calmly, knowing that this was merely a way to counter Muria. "Both of you are pretty and cute. Why wouldn't I ever want to do that to you in real life."

"Is that a crime warning from you?" Muria said in a worried tone of voice that she faked. "Are you going to sexually assault us at night while we sleep?"

"Why not?" I jokingly played along with her. "That's the sole reason why I'm here, isn't it?"

"R-really?" I heard a soft gasp escape Irina as she hugged onto Muria once again.

"Don't worry, Irina," Muria chuckled and alleviated her worries with that calming voice of her's. "Alevian doesn't have it in him to really do it."

"Now what makes you think that?" I asked in my usual voice.

"Would you do it?" She responded in an amused manner.

"No," I responded.

"There we go," she chuckled. "I think that's enough talk for the night. Goodnight."

"Goodnight," I said, turning on my side so that my back was facing their direction.

I kept my eyes opened for a bit longer that night, thinking back on that brief conversation I had shared with the two girls. It was quite mysterious how I was actually entertained by that conversation and it was weird that I felt quite happy afterwards. Maybe it's just the fact that I actually had someone to talk to instead of falling asleep in the silence of the darkness.

After about twenty minutes, I heard two sets of soft breathing from the behind next to mine. That led me to believe that the two girls had finally fallen into their slumber. I smiled as I realized that I was being trusted by them to such a great degree that they would fall asleep with me in their vicinity and trust me to not do any harm to them.

I slowly closed my eyes as I awaited my turn to fall into slumber. Their soft and gentle breathing acted as if a lullaby, slowly and easily easing me into a state of drowsiness. Then, in the dark hotel room, in the silence of night and the ambiance sound of their gentle breathing, I slowly slipped away from reality and into a state of tranquil slumber. Before I fell asleep, my facial expression was at the most relaxed they had been for a few days as I smiled.
