I carefully open the wooden door of my room and drag myself out wearily. It is already dark outside and the cold of winter is trying to penetrate through the gaps in the windows. I look up and see Benimaru sitting on the sofa and talking to someone. There are a few candles on the table that light up the room and make everything seem a little cozier.

I quickly scurry into the kitchen to take a drink and then go back to my warm bed. The blanket wraps around my body and my eyes carefully close.

Just as I was about to fall asleep again, I hear the door and carefully look behind me. The black-haired man looks at me with a cold, slightly tired face and closes the door behind him.

By opening the door briefly, not only did a bit of cold sneak in. The smell of the candles that had just been put out spreads through the room.

I yawn slightly and gently turn over onto my other side. I notice Beni sitting down on the edge of the bed. He carefully places his hand on my head, it is colder than usual and his fingers carefully run through my hair, he gently leans his upper body against my back and gently kisses my cheek.

then, without me noticing, he pushes my body to the side and carefully lays himself down under the warm, cozy blanket.

With his hand still on my head, he pulls my upper body towards him and places his head in the crook of my neck. He doesn't have to say much. His presence alone is enough to make my body completely relax.
