An uneventful return home

The sun was already beginning to set behind the mountains to the west of Aspertia City when you and Rosa finally returned from the woods of Route 19. Walking through the streets of the small city, the two of you yet again received confirmation of the Conversion Ball's power as not a single person around you found Rosa's entirely nude appearance to be anything but normal. You were more than relieved about this fact, however, as neither one of you wanted to deal with the consequences of what would happen had reality not been altered in the slightest. No longer worrying about that particular issue, you and Rosa continued to head towards your house, which fortunately wasn't too much further to walk to. After only a few more minutes, you had reached your destination and went to open the front door.

"I guess I'll be staying with you for now, since I'm most likely not living in my house in this reality," Rosa spoke up, taking a quick glance in the direction of her original home.

"Yeah, I think so too," you nodded in response before heading inside. "We'll just have to make the best of the situation now that things are this way. Come in and make yourself at home."

"You're right, and thanks," she smiled sweetly as she stepped inside, looking around for a moment when she noticed something. "Is your family not home?"

"No, they left earlier today to go on vacation in Hoenn, actually," you explained to her, closing the front door behind you. "They booked their flight to coincide with the start of our journey, just late enough so that they could still say goodbye before they left."

"So we have the entire house to ourselves?" she concluded. "It's kind of like our sleepovers we used to have when we were younger, isn't it?"

"It's a little different now, but you're not wrong," you smiled before putting your bag down on the ground. "How about we make dinner for ourselves now? I'm getting kind of hungry after today."

"Good idea!" Rosa happily agreed. "I'm actually kind of hungry myself."

You and Rosa proceeded to spend the next 30 minutes in the kitchen, putting together your dinner for the evening. While you were preparing a bag of noodles alongside a fitting sauce, Rosa went on to make a berry salad for you to eat on the side. When both of you had finished your share of the preparation, you filled yourselves a plate and a bowl each and sat down at the dinner table to eat. After a while, both the pot of noodles and the bowl of salad had been emptied and you proceeded to clean the dishes. With dinner taken care of, you decided to bring up another topic you needed to discuss.

"It's gotten pretty late by now, it's already dark outside," you said, looking out of the living room window before turning back towards Rosa. "Did you already think about what room you want to sleep in?"

"Well, if it's alright with you, I'd like to sleep in your room," she replied, getting a little flustered.

"That's fine with me, I can just sleep on the couch for tonight," you replied with a friendly smile.

"N-no, that's not what I meant," the blush on her face became more apparent. "I'd like to sleep in the same room as you, if that's okay..."

"I only have my bed though, and nothing else to sleep on," you pointed out, though you thought you already knew what she was about to propose.

"We'll sleep in the same bed then," she had seemingly already decided. "Or do you not want to?"

"That's not it, it's just... Are you sure you want this?" you asked with some worry. "Maybe the ball is influencing you somehow?"

"No, it's not," Rosa shook her head in response. "I had already hoped that we'd grow closer over our journey before we even found that thing. This wish is purely my own."

"Rosa, I..." you were not quite sure how to respond, but eventually gave in and gave her a defeated smile. "Alright, we'll sleep in the same bed tonight."

"Thank you, Nate!" her face brightened up again, although her blush remained.

The exchange left both of you quite flustered, though you still went on to get yourselves ready to head to bed. After performing your routine in the bathroom, you headed over to your room to get dressed for the night. Rosa waited outside of your room while you got changed as, even though she didn't mind her own nudity in the slightest anymore, seeing you completely in the nude was still a step too far for her at the moment. Once you were dressed in your usual outfit for the night, consisting of just a pair of knee-length sweatpants, you opened the door to let Rosa know that she could now come in as well. With both of you now in the room, you closed the door again, switched off the light and climbed under the sheets of your bed, making sure to move far enough to the side so Rosa would have enough space as well. Closing your eyes and with your back towards her, you were unable to see the intense blush that had taken over your friend's face, though you could feel her climbing into the bed and lying down behind you.

You had failed to fall asleep for quite some time now, the soft breathing noises of the already sleeping Rosa constantly reminding you of her presence behind you. It was at this moment that you suddenly felt something soft pressing up against your back, the shape and feeling unmistakably revealing it as Rosa's shapely breasts. Subsequently feeling one of her hands resting on your side, you realized that she had moved closer to you in her sleep in order to cuddle. While the sweetness of the situation brought a light smile to your face, the sensation of her beautiful chest pressing into your back inevitably resulted in you growing a considerable bulge in your pants. This surely wouldn't help you with trying to fall asleep, you thought, but you would be lying if you claimed that you didn't enjoy the position you were currently in. And despite the bulge you were sporting, the pleasant and comforting feeling of having Rosa this closely by your side ended up easing you into a nice, deep sleep.
