Let's sleep together today

　　In the past, he still found them troublesome, but after Shinichi got used to it, he was able to respond to them one by one in an appropriate way. He is neither cold nor warm, and maintains good interpersonal relationships very carefully.

　　Online chat is a technology with a low threshold but a high upper limit. Fortunately, he has studied it since meeting Nino, and now he has achieved some success.

　　"I've finished showering. Your turn."

　　There was a knock on the door, followed by Rui's voice.

　　Shinichi quickly typed the words "I want to take a shower first, let's talk tomorrow, good night" and sent it to the girl, He put the phone away without reading the reply, put on his clothes and opened the door.

　　Rui's figure was wiping her hair in the living room, and Shinichi didn't pay attention and walked downstairs.

　　In front of the mirror, he flexed his bulging biceps and smiled contentedly.

　　"Perseverance in training really pays off."

　　This summer vacation, Shinichi had progressed in both studying and sports, and he hadn't slacked off on either of them.

　　He did more sets of bodyweight exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, and squats. Without Yotsuba's supervision, he was addicted to the pleasure of becoming stronger.

　　Overall, even though the current Shinichi still looked like a weak, intellectual boy, he looked amazing when he took off his clothes.

　　After a moment of embarrassment, Shinichi put the clothes into the laundry basket.

　　Shinichi took a shower and dried his hair before going up to his room.

　　As soon as he opened the door, he saw Rui in pajamas sitting on his bed, flipping through a book boredly.

　　Shinichi didn't care, he looked at the time and started stretching his body in front of the table.

　　This is a gentle exercise to help him fall asleep, usually he does it for 20 minutes, and falls asleep immediately.

　　However, after a day like this, Shinichi felt tired in every way and just wanted to sleep.

　　After about five minutes, he stopped and looked at Rui, who was still sitting by the bed.

　　"Why don't you talk?"

　　Rui answered without raising her head.

　　"Why are you talking to me now?"

　　"I thought you were going to tell me why you came to see me first."

　　He waited for her to talk while doing light exercises, but he didn't expect Rui to be so patient.

　　Rui raised her gaze to look at him, a sneer on her lips.

　　"Don't let you think like that, let me think like that."

　　"…Are you here specifically to spar with me?" Shinichi waved his hand, "If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. I want to sleep."

　　After saying that, he yawned, and looked at Rui occupying his bed with dissatisfaction.

　　"Okay, let's get straight to the point," Ruyi closed book, sat up straight and looked at him with a serious expression.

　　"Tomorrow is the day to face the quintuplets. Are you ready?"

　　Shinichi was silent: "Don't say as if you are preparing to start the final battle? We just go to someone's house and chat."

　　"Talk? That's true for you, but not for me," Rui was emotionless in her innocent expression.

　　"That's like the current pattern, using fake girlfriend identities to stimulate them, but you have to face three... No, five at once?"

　　"No matter what, I still have to work hard for you," Shinichi lowered his gaze.

　　"Ichika probably already told other people about the fake girlfriend. It's hard to tell Miku, and Nino probably won't give us a good look."

　　"After all, she said to me – 'I'm the one who wants to be his girlfriend!'" Rui glanced at Shinichi and said calmly.

　　"The target girl's boyfriend has been snatched away. I know how dissatisfied she will be. Anyway, I'm mentally prepared for a fight."

　　Hearing the complaint in her words, Shinichi lowered his head and apologized: "Sorry, it's all my fault for being too popular."

　　"If you have the ability, just say this sentence to someone else, and I will remember to get the body for you."

　　Rui snorted displeasedly, turned around, and curled up in the blanket.

　　Shinichi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said a little displeased: "That... Rui-san?"

　　Rui rolled onto the bed next to the wall, then patted the empty space next to her.

　　"Let's sleep together today."

　　"...Hina-san is waiting for you to come back.." Shinichi glanced at the wall, and felt an inexplicable feeling that the other party was eavesdropping on the other side of the wall.

　　Rui said calmly.

　　"I've told her that I won't go back to sleep, and asked her not to eavesdrop on our conversation, but it doesn't seem like she's going to comply. So if you can't hold it in later, remember not to make a lot of noise."

　　Shinichi covered his face and let out a heavy sigh.

　　"It can't be helped... What do you mean?"

　　"Of course you pushed me down," Rui said facing the wall.

　　"If you can bear it, just think of it as an extra pillow and sleep with me."

　　She was curled up in Shinichi's blanket and didn't seem to intend to leave.

　　There was silence in the room for a few seconds. The night outside the window adds silence. Nobody spoke.

　　Just when Rui thought that Shinichi would ignore her and sleep at the table like in the past, then footsteps approached.

　　"It's true, you're 15 years old and you still like to act like a spoiled child."

Shinichi opened the blanket and lay down in it.

　　Rui's face heated up without realizing it, and the scattered hair covered her ears.

　　She didn't dare to turn her head, her body stiffened with nervousness, and she said in disbelief.

"D-do you really want to sleep together?"

　　"Aren't you letting me in?" Shinichi patted his head, and said casually.

　　"Besides, I don't know how to do anything. I just took care of my little sister who ran away from home and used my body to comfort her lonely heart."

　　"Those obscene remarks…" Rui turned around slowly.

　　"...Put your hands down, it stinks."

　　Rui's face was filled with disgust.

　　"Smells better than you. I just took a shower." After protesting, Shinichi put his hands down.

　　"Just lie down, I'm ready to lose an arm tomorrow."

　　"Then you are the same as me?" Rui was still a little surprised. After placing her head on the pillow, she hesitantly placed her injured left hand on her stomach.

　　Then go down a little one inch.

　　"Don't mess around," Shinichi returned his hand to its original position, and whispered in her ear.

　　Rui's heart accelerated, and her legs closed tightly.

　　Then the cold words fell like ice water.

　　"If you keep messing around any more, I will tie you in a sleeping bag and hang you on the door, and let you sleep like a worm."

　　Rui let out a sigh of relief, this was the usual Shinichi.

　　Being so gentle all of a sudden would catch people off guard.

　　After being warned, she felt more relaxed.

　　With a slight smile on her lips, Rui and curled up next to Shinichi

　　"I turned off the lights."

　　"Um."

　　Shinichi raised his other hand and pressed the light switch above his head.

　　Shinichi closed his eyes, not feeling the pleasure of a beautiful 15 year old girl sleeping next to him.

　　Rui pulled his clothes with her fingers, and whispered.

　　"I'm used to sleeping naked."

　　"No." Shinichi immediately answered.

　　"If it doesn't work, it won't work, I still have to do it."

　　Rui felt very happy.

　　She didn't know why, but the reason why her mood became better was so simple that she couldn't think of it.

　　Rui who was already tired, immediately felt sleepy, her eyelids became heavier, and her consciousness began to blur.

　　Closed her eyes and asked in a whisper.

　　"Why... Only this time it's so gentle..."

　　Shinichi smiled bitterly.

　　"Is this the first time... I seem to have abused you..."

　　He turned sideways, touched the back of Rui's head, parted her bangs with his fingers, and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

　　"However, I'd better apologize to you in advance... And thank you for doing so much for me."

　　"Good night, Rui."
