A lot of people joke about how gay it is that even early on in Noir, Kirika and Mireille slept in the same bed despite there literally being two beds, but it actually perfectly symbolizes the vulnerability between them at that point.
Both of them are taking huge risks in this partnership and displaying huge amounts of vulnerability to each other for the sake of uncovering the mysteries of their past. Mireille is letting a girl who not only knows her identity but is just as adept at killing as she is (if not moreso) live under the same roof. Kirika may have lost her memory, but she stills has her instincts as a trained killer, and she is greatly going against those instincts by allowing herself to sleep under the same roof as a professional hitman who has promised to eventually kill her. But through their partnership, they've placed themselves in each other's care. Of course they sleep in the same bed, then; they're just as vulnerable with each other.
But despite this, they don't want to actually acknowledge that vulnerability. They face away from each other; neither wants to acknowledge that this is the closest they've ever allowed someone to get to them in a long time. They're both placing a huge amount of trust in each other while trying not to actually trust each other, and that scares them. So they turn away. They try not to acknowledge it. And they try and act like things are simply a strictly professional arrangement between them, while they sleep in the same bed.
What I'm trying to say is that it would actually be less gay if they were just fucking
