After everything was cleared up about Rokuro hugging Benio, Mayura practiced and left.

Rokuro ended up going to shower while Benio was left playing video games with her panda onesie. Both were acting normal and distant the rest of the day. They only had small conversations like:

"It's your turn to do the dishes, Rokuro"
"Agh, are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Alright."

It was pretty much like this until Benio decided to thank him.

After all, it must have took courage for him do that, thought a pink blushing Benio.

So after they had dinner (leftovers from 2 weeks ago), Benio followed Rokuro to his room.

Of course, Rokuro noticed it and became suspicious.

"Oy, Benio. What's up with you following me? Are you going to hit me or something?"

"No, I-I actually wanted to thank you about this morning. It actually helped... So thank you."

Benio fidgeted while looking down at the floor. Rokuro wasn't surprised because knowing Benio, she will do this. The thing that got him was her bashful face.

Reminds me when I first met her...

"Y-yeah, no problem. Just trying to help you out. I mean we care for each other, right? This is normal. If you ever need another hug you know I'm here for you. Come on let's go to sleep already. Goodnight."

"Again, thanks. And yes, goodnight, Rokuro."

Benio fast walked to her room knowing she'll probably need another hug. After all, too much things have been passing around her. Her brother especially...

"Tch.."

I'll try my hardest to sleep good tonight.

An hour had passed and Benio still hadn't slept.

This is bad. I don't want to bother Rokuro but he did say if I ever needed to be comforted I could go to him.

"Fuck it, I'm going"

Benio slowly got out of her bedroom and before closing the door, she rethought her situation. At last she decided to go, her final decision.

Once Benio arrived to Rokuro's room she opened the door discreetly. She found Rokuro in an akward position. He had one of his arms up and his legs open while snoring heavily.

This guy...

Benio sat on her lap in front of his bed. She breathed in and out and then whispered his name. It took some time but he ended up being half awake.

"Rokuro sorry to bother you again, but I need to be comforted. I can't go to sleep because I feel like I'm going to have another nightmare and I obviously don't want that."

Rokuro really wasn't thinking straight. He didn't know what the heck he was saying. All he knew was he was sleepy and wanted Benio to let him be.

"Benio, so what are you asking me?"

"Comfort me."

Rokuro spread his arms wide open, enough for Benio to fit in.

"Come on. I want to get this over with."

Stay tuned to see what Benio will do next!
