You shook your head as you took a seat on the other side of the sofa and turned your head to her. As much as you didn’t want Aqua staying over your house, you didn’t see any alternative. It’s not that like you hated her or anything or that your apartment was unclean, it just seemed… inappropriate to have an idol staying over your house. When you finally agreed, her eyes went wide and a huge smile formed on her lips.
“Thank you! I really owe you for this…” said the girl sheepishly as she started going through her various bags. Aqua had brought over a wide assortment of clothes, personal hygiene items and a blanket among other things. You told her that you could sleep on the couch and she could have your bed for the time being, but she refused, saying that you had done enough by letting her stay here. You sighed and let her be, knowing how hard it could be to change her mind when she had it set on something. After she had everything unpacked, you both enjoyed the remaining pizza and played a few games of APEX Legends, while discussing a few things related to work at Hololive.
When you realized it was starting to get late, you decided to get your night routine over with. But before that, you decided to give Aqua a quick apartment tour and show her where all the important places were, like the bathroom and where your bedroom was in case something came up. After you were promoted to being a manager at Hololive, you had a lot more money and were able to move into a much nicer apartment, which gave you a nice moment of pride to show it off to the one who allowed for it. After finishing the tour, she parted ways with you as she headed back towards the living room while you went to take a quick shower. When you finished washing yourself and brushing your teeth you got dressed in your night clothes and left the bathroom, yelling to Aqua as you walked to your room that it was free for her to use. She yelled back in confirmation and said goodnight, which you reciprocated just as you entered your room and closed the door.
You laid down in the middle of the bed and pulled up your phone to browse Youtube videos till you felt sleepy. With another person in the house, let alone a cute girl, you felt you weren’t going to get a lot of sleep tonight. Eventually your fatigue had overpowered your uncertainty, however, and soon you drifted to sleep. Despite this, after a few hours of sleep, the sound of your room door opening awoke you. The sound of someone's small footsteps entered and approached your bed from behind you, as you were facing away from the door. Was it Aqua? What was she doing? Since she hadn’t said anything, she was obviously trying to be sneaky. You decided to play along for the moment being to see what she could be up to.
