Timeline: During the time Edo & Ryou are researching Haou and such. This was sparked by an ask on my tumblr concerning bed sharing, so that will happen. No sex, however. But give me time and the bed will be shared.
Summary: Living of any kind requires effort, cleanliness, and food. Living in Dark World isn't any exception at all.
Ryou couldn't do the heavy lifting involved in putting their new temporary home together. Edo took care of that, dragging the debris out and scrubbing the moss up from their chosen bedroom, then hauling up their traded for mattress. Ryou carried the sheets and blankets – none of which matched and all of which had to be piled high to make sure they stayed warm – and made the bed.
He did need help; he hadn't made his own bed until moving into his apartment after graduation. Edo, as always, knew how to do any number of actions, and soon enough it was all taken care of.
We're sharing a bed. Ryou wasn't innocent enough to not know the usual meaning of the phrase. It wasn't one he'd considered in regards to Edo, at least not until it actually happened. Neither of them seemed to give it a second thought during their trip either.
Ryou knew he was. He gave it many more thoughts, especially since they'd shared that bed at the inn, and he'd learned how pleasant it could be.
Getting the kitchen taken care of would wait for another time. They gathered what food they could from the nearby trees and called that good.
One point they learned quickly was that without battles to fight, information to gather, or places to clean, there wasn't much else they could do here. The mansion had a library at one point, but no more. So all that remained was to go to bed.

Notes: So one chapter left. Ryou and Edo are sleeping together!
