Habits are hard to drop. Even if they makes you look bad.

Rean grimaced at the looks directed his way. He know he shouldn't encourager her behavior but, well… He really couldn't say no when it comes to Altina. It didn't help matter that his OTHER bedmates had, for some reasons, decided to switch to her human form.

"Look, I know it looks bad, but we were just sleeping. Honest!"

"Uh huh" Crow nodded, his face set in that shit eating grin Rean knows from their academy days "Then why is it that you had both your arms around them, hmm?

"Or why does your shirt looks like that, hmmm?" Alisa glared, her eyes seemingly on fire.

"Or why does it seems like it's a common occurrence, hmmmm?" This time, it was Elise. Though there was a hint of something else other than anger in your eyes. Rean prays that it is not what he think it is.

Rean sighed. He tried to explain to them that Altina rolls around in her sleep, and that Celine, despite looking like a human, still have some of her feline habit, like clinging onto his shirt and unconsciously scratching it.

While it somewhat placated Alisa and Elise – and by extensions, the female half of the party – Rean can just feel the amuse rolling down the male half of the party – even JUSIS of all people.

And all the while, the two culprits stand to the side, calmly drinking milk as if nothing happened.

Another sigh escaped his lips as he listen to Alisa ordering a new reinforced door. He just knew those two would find a way to sneak into bed with him again.

Sighing in resignation – both to the incoming lecture and the shenanigans to come, Rean only has one thought in his mind.

"… At least I didn't let them know I didn't dislike it at all"

Or in which Altina and Celine like to sneak into Rean's bed and Rean couldn't find it in himself to say no, leading to his reputation plummeting. AGAIN.
