① Youki & Cecilia

“Don’t you feel that it’s hard getting yourself excited before going to bed?” [Youki]

“I wouldn’t be able to go to sleep if that wasn’t the case.” [Cecilia]

“If you’re sharing a room with several people, you’ll somehow end up staying up late.” [Youki]

“After drinking hot milk or herbal tea, I’ll go to bed after a short while, so…” [Cecilia]

“The next time we go on an outing and stay at an inn, let’s try making a racket in the room. It’s surprisingly fun, you know?” [Youki]

“That’s true… But only a little, okay?” [Cecilia]

② Raven & Happiness

“…Sleepy?” [Happiness]

“…Hm? Ah, sorry. I spent a long time sorting the doc.u.ments yesterday. I didn’t want to lose my day off today.” [Raven]

“I’ll lend you, my lap.” [Happiness]

“No, it’s fine, Happiness.” [Raven]

“…Shoulder?” [Happiness]

“No, that’s not what I meant.” [Raven]

“…Arm?” [Happiness]

“…Then, I’ll be borrowing your arm.” [Raven]

“…Kay, just link arms.” [Happiness]

“I appreciate your kindness, Happiness. I’ll take a seat on the bench for a moment and relax myself.” [Raven]

“…Agreed.” [Happiness]

③ Sophia & Clayman

“Well then, it’s time for bed. Dear, don’t sleep on the couch. Let’s go to the bedroom.” [Sophia]

“Hm? Did I fell asleep? …Have Quinn and Fiora fallen asleep as well? Those guys probably don’t even need anyone to put them to bed.” [Clayman]

“Quinn’s capable of managing things himself. Fiora, on the other hand, resembles you… She loves sleeping so she can fall asleep instantly.” [Sophia]

“Alright. Let’s head to bed then, …No, wait. Could we go to sleep only after a little while?” [Clayman]

“I don’t mind… Compared to the kids, you’re much more difficult to put to sleep.” [Sophia]

“Even knowing that you still married me, right?” [Clayman]

“…That, is true.” [Sophia]

④ Yuuga & Mikana

“Mikana, let’s go to sleep.” [Yuuga]

“H-Hah!? What are you talking about all of a sudden? G-Go to sl… sleep together?” [Mikana]

“Yup. Don’t you remember? When we were still kids, we threw ourselves on the straw in the stable and laid there before, right? So, when I pa.s.sed by the stable the other day, it reminded me of it and I felt nostalgic.” [Yuuga]

“A-Ah, t-that’s right. It wasn’t a nostalgic memory. We were just messing around there. …I got too carried away.” [Mikana]

“Then, shall we go?” [Yuuga]

“Yeah, it’s fine with me.” [Mikana]

“Ah, but we’re no longer kids anymore, so Mikana must be feeling embarra.s.sed, right? We could go to an inn instead that has a bed, big enough for both of us to get…” [Yuuga]

“I’m not going, you idiot Yuuga!” [Mikana]

“Wait, why?!” [Yuuga]

Author’s note: That’s all. If you go deeper into the theme, you might find it interesting. It’ll be useful for my future writing.

Potato notes: Ironic… this story is about going to bed and yet I’m here at 2am editing it.
