«Perhaps it's still too early to wake up», I thought while curling up more in my inflatable mattress.

Because this world had no electrical light, I was following a healthy life rhythm to sleep immediately as soon as it got dark. I was a five-year-old child, I couldn't allow my body to stay awake late and needed to quickly fly into the dream world.

In any case, I was still sleepy. And I didn't want to leave the futon because it was cold.

«Why does winter make the inflatable bed so irresistible and attractive?», I mentally questioned myself.

No matter how many times I trained my magical power, I didn't believe I could ever beat the magical power of the bed.

—Aaah, bed. I won't let you go. Absolutely —I whispered, words of love to my warm refuge.

«How happy!» I enjoyed the feeling of being in a warm and sunny climate, holding the futon tightly.

Aaah... it felt like my body was floating in the air.

I was truly happy. Once a person falls completely asleep, they cannot feel the pleasant sensation of lying on an inflatable bed. But in this current state, I was able to fall asleep while feeling the comfortable futon and pillow.

«If I go out now, suddenly a cold and dry air that can be said to be freezing will hit me. Should I defend this comfortable place or discard this pleasant sensation?», I reflected.

...No, it's not right, I need to go to the bathroom.

I was not even able to enjoy going back to sleep with these urges. In other words: it's more comfortable to go back to sleep as soon as possible after going to the bathroom. Even if there is a danger of being completely awake at that moment, I still had to do it.

But I just exchanged promises of love with my bed. Will I be able to break it somehow immediately after?

In my opinion, this conflicting feeling was clashing with itself.

—I've decided, I'm going to move forward —I muttered with determination.

Although it was annoying, I opened my heavy eyelids.

The dawn light is burning my eyes without mercy!

The sunlight hurt me directly.

I simply opened my eyes and this happened. The path to the bathroom was quite steep. Still, I was going to move forward.

Slowly I pulled my foot out of the blankets.

—¡Aaaaaaaahh! —I screamed when the cold air stabbed my foot like a needle!

I wanted to put my foot back under the blankets immediately. If I did it now, there was still time.

The need to go to the bathroom was constantly increasing, soon it would reach the limit and eventually explode. I had pride to protect. If this pride took a hit, people would point and ridicule me.

As a man, those things could not be forgiven.

I moved instantly and jumped out of the futon. I felt my charming and beloved bed wrapping around me as if to stop me.

—I'm sorry —I told it.

By exposing my entire body, the force of nature with the name 'Midwinter' entered furiously. I immediately adjusted the blankets so that the heat would not escape.

Then, I made a clear image in my head of where the bathroom was located and went.

—Ja! A dream, eh? It was tremendously realistic —I muttered upon waking.

The season right now is autumn. Of course, there is no such thing as a cold wind that would stab my body, and nature is not raging either.

Besides, I'm not on an inflatable bed, it's just a bed, I reflected.

The morning air could feel a bit cold upon waking, but if the body moved, it would have an ideal temperature.

«Ja! There's no way I'm wetting the bed, right?!»

I hastily confirmed the state of my crotch. After having that kind of dream, there was a possibility that it had happened.

—Sure, no problem —I told myself.

There was nothing that could hurt my pride.

«Well, should I go back to sleep this time?», I asked myself.

After all, I had not been able to go back to sleep in my dream.

My body sank into the bed while I felt very comfortable, enjoying the sensation of the blanket enveloping me. My consciousness was gradually sinking into darkness.

TOC TOC.

—Ars, are you awake? —it was my older sister's voice calling from the hallway.

—I'm sleeping —I responded.

—Hi... —she began.

—No —I cut her intervention.

—Even though I haven't said anything yet? —she asked.

—No! I don't want to hear it, go away —I urged, without interest.

—I'm coming in —she announced.

«What a quick decision!»

With a «kiii~» sound, the door opened mercilessly.

Why didn't I close the door correctly yesterday? Even if I regret it now, I couldn't do it, I told myself.

—Wake up, Ars —Anastasia called me.

I put on an innocent face and breathed as if I were sleeping.

«Regardless of the angle you look from, I'm a cute little brother», I thought with satisfaction.

My older sister caressed the bangs of my white-colored hair.

Then she suddenly stopped the movement of her hand and put force in her arm.

—Hey, wait! It hurts, it hurts! My skull! —I screamed when she used brute force on me.

—Did you think you could fool me by putting on that face? —she asked me.

—Yes, I have done something stupid —I admitted.

After that, Anastasia relaxed her grip on me. Although her hand still didn't leave my head.

—Can you please remove your hands from me? —I asked her.

—Not yet —she responded.

I'm glad, I thought she was going to say something like "A pet needs a collar, right?", I reflected.

«A bossy and flat-chested person, I wonder who's to blame», I thought sarcastically.

—Does it hurt?! I didn't say anything now, right? —I asked.

—My woman's intuition told me to hit you —she explained.

«Is this person an example of an oracle? And when revelations arrive without reservations like that, people will take it for granted. I want you to please restrain yourself a bit»

—In any case, let's have breakfast —she announced.

—Is the food ready? —I asked.

—That's right. You know, mom is the best! —she responded.

—That's right! —I exclaimed with a wide smile.
