(Also the bed is legit the only clear spot in the mousynest until Shion starts makin' a dent in the hoard o' books. Probably sleeping on hardcovers is super shitty and neither of them wanted to be THAT gracious about it haha.)
I think I just always assumed the couch existed in the novels--did it not? That would certainly explain things in the novel, but not in the manga then! Since the couch exists there but they still sleep together (as evidenced by Shion complaining that Nezumi keeps kicking him out of the bed and how he 'gives up' the couch in the scene after Nezumi gets attacked). Consistency across canons, what are you?
But hmm, then in the anime--the night before Shion leaves after he kisses Nezumi...he wanders out of the room entirely IIRC. Where the heck was he going? For some reason I can't even remember if they showed him sleeping on the couch at that point. It makes sense in the novels where the couch doesn't exist that he gives up the bed and goes to sleep behind the bookcases (yay for an excuse to not have to sleep with Nezumi and be more easily caught trying to sneak out), but in the manga he ALSO gives up the bed and goes to sleep behind the bookcases...despite there being a perfectly comfortable couch. IDGI.

Agreed on the last note though :3
