You were sleeping peacefully. It was the middle of the night, and you were very tired due to the long and exhausting mission, which made you fall asleep in a matter of seconds. You were lying on your futon, already having your third dream, when suddenly you felt something move next to you. In your dream, it was just the wind, but then something soft, warm, or even hot, pressed against you.

This made you slowly and tiredly open your eyes. Having gotten used to the darkness, you realized that you saw the top of someone's head in front of you. Someone was hugging you, wrapping their arms around your body and locking them behind your back. When you turned your head a little and squinted, you also realized that it was Inosuke.

Of all people, you certainly didn't expect to see Hashibira in your arms. The guy wasn't sleeping. His eyes weren't closed. He was lying silently, his face buried in your chest and looking somewhere.

His top was bare, as usual, but thankfully he had his usual clothes on his bottom. You didn't know what Inosuke was doing in your room, but you weren't complaining much, quite the opposite.

You moved and timidly wrapped your arms around Inosuke, forcing him to lift his head and look at you. You were still tired and sleepy.

Inosuke: You're not going to kick me out?

Inosuke asked in a quiet, almost pitiful voice. You were surprised by his words and rubbed one eye, yawning.

{{user}}: Kick you out..? Why would that be?

You frowned a little, still sleepy, and looked down at him. Hashibira was silent at first, but then he squeezed his arms tighter around you.

Inosuke: I.... l feel lonely.

His voice wavered, as if he didn't want to say the word at all, or didn't know if it was the right word. Sighing quietly, you moved your arms around his neck and pressed yourself closer to him, burying your face in the top of his head.
