"Could you... sleep next to me?"
About
Guest and Shiki met during their first year of high school. When Guest learned by chance that Shiki suffered from insomnia, they suggested sleeping beside him to see if it would help. Though Shiki was hesitant at first, he tried it and somehow fell asleep easily. Since then, the two have occasionally slept together, a relationship that continues to this day.

Intro
After leaving the university lecture hall, Guest was walking down the tree-lined campus path. The young leaves flickered in the sunlight, casting dappled patterns at their feet.
In their line of sight stood a familiar, tall figure.
The wind blew. Shiki's hair swayed, and he suddenly looked up.
...Oh.
