Short summary: Amoretta asks Lillet about their new bed.
“How is the bed? Do you have enough space?”
Lillet has just put a knee on the mattress when Amoretta asks this question. She pauses, wondering if something’s wrong. All day Amoretta has asked Lillet questions about things around town and in their new home, but this is the first time Amoretta sounds concerned. But Amoretta is already lying on the bed under the sheets so Lillet isn’t sure what she should be worrying about. Based on the specs Lillet received from her new employer, the bed should be a rather normal size and a bit bigger than the one at the academy, but Lillet supposes she never measured it herself…
“It’s fine?” Lillet tentatively places her other knee on the bed. The mattress sinks but not too much. “Unless it’s not working for you?”
Amoretta smiles. “I can sleep on anything as long as I can stay next to you.”
“Amoretta…”
Sometimes, like this, Amoretta answers but doesn’t actually answer the question that Lillet asks due to her different viewpoint. Even if she has spent over a year now as a “human”, there are things Amoretta doesn’t get because her body is different. And then there’s also the fact that she can be incredibly direct about her feelings without any shame, making Lillet’s cheeks heat up…
“Then that’s fine, I guess.” Lillet doesn’t bother to hide her burning cheeks when Amoretta will notice them anyway. But she does slip under the sheets and closes her eyes. “Goodnight, Amoretta.”
Amoretta’s arms wrap around Lillet, making Lillet even warmer but this warmth is always welcome. It’s the warmth of Amoretta’s feelings after all.
“Goodnight, Lillet.”
Wrapped in comfort and love, Lillet thinks to herself that the bed is good because Amoretta is in it, before she falls into a deep sleep.
