Sakurai was asleep when Morioka finished nursing, so after she put the baby down she climbed into bed next to him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and tucking her face against his neck.
Sakurai stirred, and Morioka nuzzled against him, smiling and pressing sleepy kisses against his skin.
"Were you nursing?" he asked. She nodded against his neck.
"I was. I just finished."
"You should wake me next time so you can get some sleep," he said.
"I will, thank you," she said, and she hugged him. He smiled and pulled the blanket over both of them.
It was comfortable sleeping next to him. No matter how much she rolled around, he always seemed to find away to curl his body around her, like a big warm pillow that could move when she moved. It didn't matter if she was on her back with her arms and legs splayed out like a starfish, or if randomly found herself sleeping diagonally across the width of the bed - no matter what position she was in, she'd wake up with Sakurai cupped against her back, his face burrowed into her shoulder or neck and sleeping soundly.
"Ne, Yuta," she asked, when they first started dating, "My tossing and turning doesn't wake you?"
He smiled and shook his head. "I sleep better when I'm beside you," he said, blushing happily.
Truth be told, Morioka felt the same way. His body was warm and firm with just enough give in all the right places, and she liked how she could feel his heart beating if she lay her head against his chest. She liked how sometimes he'd lightly scratch her scalp while she lay on top of him, or sometimes let his hand rest comfortably against the back of her head. Kissing him was nice too, because no matter how long they've been together, he'd always be blushing and smiling. He really is cute like Lily, Morioka thought, and she settled against him, hugging him warmly.
