=========================

I yawned.

What a satisfying day it was.

I managed to complete all the work that I had set out to do, and I had spare time to relax after that. Safe to say that I'm quite proud of my hard work. For the first time in a while, I finally had some time for myself.

I spent the rest of my evening lazing around. But, it seems that I had forgotten to keep track of the time. I decided to check the time, since my eyes couldn't stay open any longer. Looking at the clock, I realised that it was way past my usual bedtime. That's not good... 

After a few minutes of me doing my nightly routine, I climbed onto bed. I grabbed my Shōji body pillow, before proceeding to pull up the covers. Closing my eyes, I drifted off into deep, deep sleep. (no, the body pillow isn't inappropriate. it is as kid-friendly as it could possibly be.)

in what i assumed to be my dreamland, i felt that i was lying on something so warm. whatever it was, hugging it made me feel so happy. it also seemed slightly bright at the moment, so i guess my dream was set in the morning. eyes still closed, i wrapped my arms around the thing tighter. i felt a pulse.

"probably mine, right?" i wondered. then, i felt someone's breathe on my neck. my eyes shot open. because of the way my head was tilted towards there right, i came face to face with a stark white wall. it looked so familiar.

i sat myself up on whatever i was laid on, only to come face to face with a sleeping shōji. no, i don't mean my body pillow, i meant the actual 187cm/6'2" character. this was like a dream come true, except that it no longer felt like a dream.

i looked around, piecing the puzzle together. just as my groggy self was trying to work things out, his alarm rang. i couldn't get off of him fast enough. when he opened his eyes, i looked at him, smiling sheepishly. words couldn't describe how confused he looked.

i jumped off from him quickly, just as he propped himself up to switch the alarm off.

"y/.../n?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

i could only answer awkwardly, "hi...?"

the next few minutes was just us making sure this wasn't a dream. afterwards, though i'm not sure how it led up to that moment, but we both admitted to having body pillows of each other. yeah, so we exist in their universe too.

awkward silence ensued, as we didn't know what i'd be doing in this universe, nor how i'd be able to get back. i felt kind of bad for making him lose his merch of me, though i cant really wrap my head around the idea of me being on pillows. it's not like he could understand why i had one of him too.

with no other solution, the six-armed male suggested seeking help from the pro-heroes.

i sighed. and i thought this was just a dream come true.

it's going to be a long day ahead.
