Chapter 2, Part 2
THE SLEEPOVER, PART 1
"A.. Sleepover!? Natsuki, would your dad even let you do that!?" Sayori asks.
"I'm sure I can manage something... Don't worry about it, dummy!" Natsuki replies.
"Yuri, you'd even agree to this?"
"O-of course. Anything for a friend."
"Guys! Thank you so much!" Sayori says, with tears forming in her eyes.
"I'll leave you guys to plan this all out. I'll head home." I say to the girls.
"What are you talking about, dummy? You're staying too." Natsuki tells me.
"I... am?..." I question her.
I just got invited- no- told I'm staying at an all-girl's sleepover... Usually, I'm told to leave them, not stay.
"I mean... If you guys are fine with that, then I guess I can stay."
"Would you excuse us for a moment, Shin?" Yuri asks me.
"Of course." I reply to her, and leave the room.
After about 5 minutes of discussion, they call for me to come back in the room.
"Natsuki got a bit ahead of herself by inviting you without the rest of us consenting."
"Oh, so I'm not staying then?"
"N-no, you are... We decided that it would be nice to have you stay with us."
"I see. In that case, I'll go get some stuff from my house. I'll be back in a few minutes."
"We should probably do that too, can't sleep in this." Natsuki says, pointing at her skirt.
"We'll meet back here then!" Sayori says, stating the obvious. I'm sure everyone wanted to say something, but we all kept quiet.
I make the short walk back to my house, and grab a change of clothes. Should I change clothes here though? I'm not sure it would be entirely appropriate to change clothes in a girl's house...
"This is completely new to me, what do I do?..." I murmur to myself.
I'll just change clothes here, I don't want to risk an awkward situation.
After I change clothes and grab my pillows and blanket, I head over to Sayori's house, where Sayori is alone. I didn't expect the others to be back yet, so I knock and head inside.
"Sayori, I'm back." I say as I enter.
"Don't look upstairs, I'm still changing!" I hear Sayori yell from her room.
"I'll just get my stuff setup in the living room then!" I yell back to her.
I get my blanket rolled out on the floor, and move the furniture out of the way. I put the pillows down too, and as I lay back, I hear a door close.
"What do you think?"
I open my eyes, and turn to Sayori. I immediately cover up my eyes.
"SAYORI! GO PUT ON SOME ACTUAL CLOTHES!" I scream at her, trying to keep my eyes averted.
She's wearing lingerie.
"What? Don't you like it, Shin?"
"I-! N-!"
I don't even know what to say. I'm struggling to even deny what she's asking.
"Go put on some clothes, damnit! The others will be here soon!"
"Hehehe~" Sayori turns and goes back up the stairs, I assume- and hope- to change into some actual sleepwear.
While Sayori is up in her room, I hear a knock on the door.
"I'm back, dummies!" I immediately recognize Natsuki's voice. I get up to go let her in.
"Welcome back to the party!" I open the door and gesture her inside.
"W-wait for me!" I see Yuri running in her slippers. I can already see what's about to happen.
"Oh no..." It seems Natsuki even realizes it, too.
Then it happens.
Yuri trips on one of her slippers, and almost faceplants on the sidewalk. I rush over to help her up.
"Yuri, are you alright?" I help her up.
"Y-yes, I'm f-fine..."
I can hear Natsuki laughing in the doorway.
"Natsuki, you could help you know."
"No I couldn't have." Natsuki holds a straight face while replying to me.
"Why not?" I ask her.
"Because it was too funny!" She bursts out laughing again.
"Come on, Yuri, let's get you inside, make sure you're not scraped."
"R-really, I'm fine. Thank you, t-though."
We get inside, and get everyone's blankets set out on the floor. Sayori came out of her room, finally dressed in proper clothes. I choose not to tell the others about her little "adventure in new clothing." I guess that must be what she bought the other day. Yuri pops a disc into the DVD player, and the night begins.
