[bg=#000000]"Oh my gooooooooood! I can come home with Mari-chaan?!" Natsumi skipped, laughing and smiling like an idiot as she hugged Mari tightly. "Alright, then let's go, let's gooo!" She beamed as she pulled Mari along with her. It didn't take long with Natsumi's I'm-crazy-happy-right-now speed to get to Mari's house. When they were inside, they spent a good long time fooling around like they usually did, making fools of themselves while cooking their dinners. It was quite late when they were finally relaxed in Mari's bedroom. Natsumi, having not brought anything with her for a sleepover, was in one of Mari's larger t-shirts (after all, she could not fit in anything else of Mari's, given their difference in size), and sitting on Mari's bed, reading the news on her phone when Mari came into the room.
She yawned as she pulled Mari by the wrist onto the bed. Natsumi's hair was braided into a side braid, held by one of the two ribbons she had been wearing earlier, making it easier for her to roll around more freely. She caught hold of the blanket, pulling it over them as she, grinning, hugged Mari close to her body.
"Hey Mari-chaaaan ~ Be my pillowww ~" Mari was probably really shy with her right now, but Natsumi didn't mind as she clung to her best friend - or crush, well, it didn't matter right now. Just getting to do this with Mari was way more than making up for the whole thing. She was happy to just stay close to Mari like this, feeling much like it was going to be a relaxing, gentle night for the both of them.

Natsumi woke together with the first rays of sunlight, to find a mumbling Mari at her side. For a moment, she just propped herself up on her arm, glancing down at the peacefully sleeping girl. They were still cuddled together just like yesterday, and it made her feel happy and calm. Like this, she felt as if she had a very private, nice moment with Mari. She knew that nothing would take this moment away from them. That's when her initial calm was shattered, replaced by some heavy blushing.
"N..nn... Natsumiii..." It ws Mari's voice. Just hearing her saying it like that, and in her sleep, too, was making Natsumi all confused. "Love... love you..." Mari's face seemed to redden; she was still sleeping. Natsumi gulped. It's... just a dream... right? I mean... it's not like she... ahh... oh no... She was so confused, everything was running in circles in her head. She was probably really tired. She really shouldn't be thinking about all of these confusing things. She brushed a lock of hair from her face as she looked at Mari, her whole body screaming at her to stop this nonsense.
"Well.... if it's just this once... maybe it's not... so bad..." She was muttering to herself, knowing that no one would hear her words. She leaned in over Mari's body, still observing her sleeping face, as she moved in a little bit closer. What am I saying, this is bad, bad! I can't just... do this... But she wasn't stopping for one second, simply getting closer and closer to Mari. She was rather surprised that Mari had not woken yet to this. She felt like her heart was making enough noise to wake an elephant.
But Mari kept on sleeping, even as their lips connected for a gentle kiss. The softness through Natsumi off, and when she shot back, surprised, and hit her head against the wall behind the bed, Mari finally seemed to wake up. Natsumi didn't even have the courage or the time to get herself back to normal, simply sitting there on the bed, gaping, with a completely red face.
She composed herself as quick as she could, fumbling on the bedside table for her phone, desperate to change the subject, just to anything else than what she was thinking about right now. She grinned awkwardly as she pointed at her phone.
"A-actually, I've been thinking! Why don't we try calling up vice rep? She's aaalways so uptight, I thought we could take her somewhere and get her to open up a little ~ Besides just look at heeer! She has a petite body, ahh, I bet she's a total tsundere, I wanna dress her up so bad!" When she got into her groove, she completely forgot about any and all embarrassing things. "Heey, Mariiii, let's take her shoppinggg ~"[/bg]

[bg=#000000]Avery had known exhaustion before, and the recently passed night was no different. She was sighing to herself now, as she lay there in her bed, tossing around at god-knows-what-o'clock. She groaned as she rolled out of bed. Her apartment was nothing special, some pictures here, a bit of personal effects there, she also had some decoration... but otherwise, she didn't really care what her house looked like. Practical, useful. That was all that really mattered. She wasn't rather attached to the place, as the hideout was starting to feel more and more like the real home she should be in right now. She groaned as she ruffled up in her hair, feeling much like she was carrying a heavy burden on her.
She really was god damn tired. But she also really couldn't sleep any longer... so she decided to go to the hideout, even if it was still early. She got up from her bed begrudgingly, going for a hot morning shower. There was no better feeling than that of waking up with a good shower. When she was dressed and ready, she left the house. A stray cat was sitting outside on the railing, looking expectantly at her. She gave just the slightest of smiles as she reached her hand out, offering the cat a treat. Surprisingly, it ate straight from her hand, calmly, without even hissing at her once. She nuzzled it behind the ears before she took off to the hideout.
When she got there, it was eerily quiet. She honestly wasn't expecting anyone to be there. She locked the door and headed straight for the office. She was surprised to actually find that the place wasn't completely occupied. Slumped over the desk, sleeping like she hadn't done so for months, was Natsume. Seeing their leader sleeping was something quite different for most, but Avery was used to it. She smiled as she walked over to the couch, taking a blanket with her to drape around Natsume's shoulders.
"You'll get sick like this, Boss..." She muttered, hoping that she didn't wake the other girl. As she was walking downstairs to cook, she suddenly felt her phone buzz in her pocket. When she saw the contents, she blushed, grumbled, and then groaned.
"There's no helping it, then..." She called the number of the person who had sent the text, all the while writing a note for Natsume. [/bg]

[bg=#000000]"Oh will you SHUT UP!!" Luca yelled, slamming his hand on the table. No, he wasn't yelling at his boyfriend (surprisingly) but at the alarm clock that he had just nearly broken. He stared down at the monstrous thing for a moment before looking over at Cas, who was looking at him with that smug, way too attractive "good morning there, sexy" face that Luca just couldn't stand, but also couldn't resist. He grumbled as he hit his boyfriend over the head, for no particular reason. He just needed to do that right now. He pouted slightly.
"You're the biggest idiot! Urgh, setting an alarm, are you fucking Satan..." He fell down against Cas again, feeling kinda cold. He was only in his underpants, after all... well, Cas was too anyway, but Cas was warm, Luca wasn't. He snuggled against his boyfriend, hugging him close as they moved under the blankets again. Yeah, he was just going to stay like this for a little while. He sighed as Cas patted his head.
"Hey can we just stay here forever? I don't want to get up..." He complained. It was too cold. Fuck that, fuck putting on clothes. He just wanted to stay like this forever. It was always like this with Luca in the mornings, and Cas had to practically drag him (even if Cas also wanted to sleep himself) to even get him to get out of bed. Eventually, Cas had just gotten used to it and made a game out of trying to find embarrassing ways to get Luca out of bed.
Today it was the bride-style carry. Again. "C-Caaas! You just did this last night, can you please not?!" But Cas wasn't listening, and Luca was struggling, and it looked incredibly weird for the two guys to stand there, Luca in Cas' arms, while he struggled, both of them in their underwear. They looked incredibly hilarious. Eventually Luca complied, and they emigrated to the living room, where Cas cooked them up some breakfast, and they sat hurdled together under blankets on the couch while watching TV. Mornings for the two of them were surprisingly calm, as opposed to all other aspects of their relationship.
Really, what a roller coaster it was to mix someone like Cas with someone like Luca. It was an explosive combo, but not only in the negative way. Another thing blown out of measure was their love for each other. Just sitting like this was making Luca feel like the most privileged guy in the world, and he sighed happily, this sound not escaping Cas. If he could just jump Cas right now...
But all he got was a kiss, which just made him pout and blush in anticipation. Well, no time for lying around doing nothing... he sighed as he finally managed to get up, shivering all the way to the shower. While he was in there, he realized he had forgotten his clothes, but as usual, Cas just waltzed right in and put it on the counter. When Luca was out, severely flustered that Cas had interrupted his bath time again again again, he cleaned up in Cas' room, making the bed and whatnot. What the heck am I doing? I feel strangely like a housewife right now... urgh, Cas!! Putting weird thoughts in my head!!![/bg]
