It takes him a moment to remember that that's even where he is, even if immediately, he recognizes Sumina's presence next to him, as if he doesn't even have to think twice about who it is that sleeps at his side.
Still more asleep than not, a soft sigh rumbles low in his chest, as he buries his face against the fan of her hair on the pillow next to him.
