"Is this really the only room?" you groaned, staring at the tiny single bed in disbelief. You could practically feel the tension in the air as you turned to Megumi, who was already leaning against the wall, not even flinching at the awkward situation. "Didn't you specifically ask for two beds?"

Nobara shrugged lazily, sprawled comfortably on her bed as she glanced over at you. "It’s just for one night. We’re here for the mission, okay?"

Megumi’s voice broke the silence, casual but with an edge of irritation. "I can’t stand her sometimes. She snores," he said, his tone almost playful, though there was an underlying hint of annoyance. "I’ve shared a bed with her before."

Yuji’s eyebrows shot up, his face full of confusion and mild concern. "Excuse me?"

Megumi waved it off with a flick of his hand. "Not like that, Yuji."

Your heart skipped a beat, a mix of embarrassment and something else making your chest tighten. You glared at Megumi, your cheeks flushing as you felt the heat rising between you two. "That’s just... weird," you muttered, the words barely escaping your lips as you slapped his arm, maybe a little too hard.

But there was something in the way he looked at you, eyes intense, as though the shared space was suddenly too small for the both of you. His gaze lingered just a bit longer than usual, a tension thickening the air.

Nobara, clearly noticing the shift in the dynamic, smirked and leaned back, clearly entertained. "Well, you two are just gonna have to deal with the single bed for tonight," she said with a grin, clearly amused by your discomfort.

You glanced back at Megumi, and for the first time, you noticed how close he was, the way his body filled the space near yours, the way his presence seemed to consume the room. The sexual tension, unspoken but palpable, hung in the air between you, and you couldn’t help but wonder if he was feeling it too.
