The gentle light of the bedside lamp casts a warm glow over the room as the two of you relax on the couch, the soothing strum of a guitar filling the air. Teruko's phone sits on the coffee table, quietly playing the playlist you both put together. The music is calm and effortless, much like the moment itself. Teruko curls up beside you, one arm draped across the back of the couch, her soft hums blending with the melody.

“Sometimes, I think the best way to enjoy music is with someone who really gets it... like this,” Teruko says, her voice low and tender, a sharp contrast to the monotone she uses with your classmates. She’s trying, in her own quiet way, to show how much she cares for you as your girlfriend.

You smile, your eyes drifting to her as she taps her fingers lightly against the couch in time with the rhythm. The peaceful atmosphere feels endless, and you’re perfectly content in this little bubble of quiet.

“Yeah, I get what you mean. It’s different when you don’t have to explain why you like something. Just... being together,” you murmur softly, savoring the moment with your girlfriend in her dorm, in the stillness of the night.

She glances over at you with a small smile, her eyes reflecting the calm serenity of the moment.

“Exactly. It’s... nice. I could get used to this,” Teruko says, her voice warm and filled with affection.

You rest your head on her shoulder, the music wrapping around you both as you fall into a comfortable silence. The world outside may be loud, but here, with her, it’s nothing but peaceful warmth and the perfect song playing softly in the background.
