PART 2
And since that particular lifestyle would lead to severe sleep deprivation in the long run, there was a certain compromise that he developed together with Liliana: in order to not cause Tatsuya’s health to deteriorate, they would always have one day of the week when they would go without sex for the entire day.
But even so, if the two of them went into the same bed together, their night of rest and relaxation would most certainly turn into a very hot and steamy night of passion, and so they decided to sleep separately so that wouldn’t end up happening.
And it just so happened that today was that exact day.
「Oh man, what should I do now? Should I just go to Liliana-san’s room?」
But no matter how scared he was right now, there was no way for a grown-up man like himself to just go to someone else’s room and say “I want us to sleep together because I’m afraid of ghosts!”. Not at this age.
And since Liliana was his lover, he did not want to look any more pathetic in her eyes. So in the end, he had no choice but to look at the ceiling and try to endure it, at least until the moment when his eventual exhaustion would overcome his sense of fear.
「Sheep…… Just how many sheep did I already count? Oh well, I might as well start over from the very begi –––––– Hyiiih!?」
–––––– ♪ –––––– ♪
All of a sudden, just when Tatsuya managed to come to the conclusion that he simply had to wait patiently until he could fall asleep, a light ringtone rang from his smartphone that he had placed at his bedside, and Tatsuya, who was unnecessarily alert by that ringtone, jumped up while screaming unreasonably loud……
At this moment, he actually thanked God in his heart that Liliana wasn’t right next to him to witness this.
「J-Just who could this be at this hour……?」
Since one of the horror stories in that program was related to the cursed phone, at the current moment Tatsuya was actually scared to pick up his smartphone and check its display –––––– However, no matter how scared he was, there was no way that he could just leave it like that and ignore it. So he just picked his smartphone up and pressed the button without even looking at the screen.
「U-Umm……Hello? H-Hm? F-For you to call me at this hour, did something happened, Dad?」
「Oi, oi! Is that really the way in which the son greets his father after hearing from him for the first time in a while?
The one to suddenly call Tatsuya at this hour was none other than his father, who was currently living away from him.
「–––––– Umm, Liliana-san, I…… I know that today is the day when we are not supposed to be sleeping together, but…… do you think that we could, you know…… actually sleep together? Just this once?」
After finishing the conversation he had with his father after a prolonged period of not even staying in contact, Tatsuya visited Liliana’s room and bowed down his head and pleaded that right from the get go.
The reason as to why his father called him was actually nothing all that special.
All he wanted to ask was a simple: “How are you doing?”, “What happened recently in your life?”, and “How is your life in general?”
Tatsuya was grateful that his parents were actually worried about him and that he was interested in his life, but this time around his timing couldn’t possibly be worse. Of all the time for his father to care, and right now Tatsuya was more than sure that this conversation would keep him well awake and unable to sleep for the rest of the night.
But even so, for someone who was so scared from watching a simple horror show on the TV, the casual chat with the member of his family was something that Tatsuya would surely appreciate greatly.
After a good while that he spent on this bizarre father-child phone conference, Tatsuya was returned to reality, which was a dark room filled with nothing more but uncomfortable silence.
But even so, that has always been the norm, so there should be nothing weird about it.
However, because this situation made Tatsuya remember the warmth of his family even a little bit, it made his current predicament even scarier and influential on his mind.
If it was not for this phone call, Tatsuya might have been able to spend this night all on his own somehow, but now –––––– Yeah.
Tatsuya’s hair was all standing up on its ends when he was trying to imagine that sort of situation.
By the time he even noticed it, he had already left his room and had moved right in front of the door leading to Liliana’s room.
「Fufufu, seeing that that you are begging me so desperately for it, Tatsuya-san, how could I possibly refuse you now?」
Looking at her face right now, Tatsuya could clearly see that Liliana was doing her very best in order to try and hold back her laughter and a smile creeping on her lips, especially in front of Tatsuya, who asked her for it so urgently.
「B-But you know, the thing is that….. Umm, the thing is……」
「To be completely honest with you, Tatsuya-san, I thought that you might come to me sooner than you actually did.」
「…… Huh?」
「Fufufu, Tatsuya-san, you are actually that kind of person who can’t hide anything from others, did you know? …… But that being said, everyone in this life has a thing or two with which they are good, as well as the things that we can’t handle all that well, so it’s nothing to be feeling ashamed about.」
「S-So…… you knew? That I’m not actually all that good and comfortable with ghost stories and ––––––」
「No, it’s not like I knew about it, but if you are holding onto someone’s hand so strongly every time something scary is happening on screen, it’s only natural that someone is going to figure out what’s going on sooner or later……」
Liliana then remembers Tatsuya’s reactions and her shoulders shake a little bit from all the laughter she was trying so desperately to contain.
And the fact that his secret was out of the box so openly managed to leave Tatsuya quite speechless.
As he was becoming furiously embarrassed with every passing second, at the same time he was cursing the fact that he was so sure and confident about being able to keep up appearances all this time with a poker face.
「I just want to crawl into a hole and just stay there for the rest of my life.」
「Well then, what would you like to do, Tatsuya-san? Do you wish to sleep separately? Or maybe……?」
「Uuuhh…… I would like for us to…… sleep together…… if you’d be so kind? And you wouldn’t mind?
Even the shame and embarrassment that Tatsuya was feeling right now, the one that wanted to cause him to writhe on the ground and crawl under a rock, was a hundred times better than him having to be all alone in a dark room right now. So Tatsuya chose to cast his pride aside and become completely honest with his feelings and not worry about it.
「It’s alright, Tatsuya-san. There is nothing for you to feel ashamed of here. I told you, didn’t I? Every one of us has a thing or two with which we are not all that good to begin with…… and I am right here with you, Tatsuya-san, so there is no need for you to be afraid. And I will always be right here by your side, whenever you will need me. So if there is always a time when you are feeling lonely or scared, Tatsuya-san, don’t worry about it and just rely on me during those times.」
With that being said, Liliana reached out towards Tatsuya, and then she gently enclosed her arms around his head and hugged him tightly. The warmth of her ample and soft chest managed to melt the feeling of loneliness that was growing inside of Tatsuya and chased it away completely. Right now, Tatsuya felt that he could melt away in this hot embrace of hers.
「Thank you so much, Liliana-san!」
It was in those moments that Tatsuya actually managed to realize just how much he has come to rely on Liliana in his everyday life.
「You have given me so many precious memories and irreplaceable things that I don’t think I will ever be able to pay you back for all of that kindness of yours, Tatsuya-san.」
「Huh? Have I really done anything of the sort?」
Tatsuya tilted his head slightly in puzzlement, but Liliana did not elaborate on her previous words any further.
「But anyways, I will stay by your side until you actually fall asleep, Tatsuya-san.」
