Chapter 34: Just About Laid

Sun trickled in through the window but that wasn't the only form of warmth Yuzu could feel. A warmness that she hadn't felt in a while was pressed up against her chest, no, her entire body. Upon realising the source of that warmth, Yuzu smiled brightly as she let her eyes open slightly revelling a few strands of silky black hair against the white of Mei's neck.

Flexing her stiff fingers, Yuzu again felt that warmth but it was a much more immediate source, it engulfed her hand. Shifting her fingers slightly Yuzu felt the hand that was intertwined with her own give a gentle squeeze before going still again.

Leaning forward Yuzu pressed a lingering kiss to the back of Mei's neck then pulled her entire form into Mei's. Effectively spooning her to the point that not even air would pass through the two bodies. A grin was plastered over Yuzu's face as she nuzzled into her girlfriends back, god how she had missed waking up like this. A cold bed was something she hated being awoken by, but this, this Yuzu could get used to.

"I love you, you know that. And I'm never going to stop loving you, not even for a second." Yuzu spoke in a little less than a whisper as she kept her grip on the youngers hand, her nose nuzzling lovingly into Mei's neck.

Unaware of the stir of the younger girl Yuzu continued. "Yup, I'm going to love you forever and ever, you're going to be my wife, cuz' I'm going to give you a beautiful ring that is just as amazing as you, and we'll be happier than anyone!" Yuzu's grin grew at the remembrance.

"We'll buy a pretty little house and we'll make it our home, and we can have some little babies too. They would be so cute with your beautiful face on them I just know they would. Let's hope they get more of your genes than mine so they can be little smarty pants like you are." Yuzu stopped when she felt Mei roll her shoulder backwards, and for a moment she thought she had been caught, but after a few seconds the girl stilled and Yuzu let out a shaky breath or relief.

"Yeah, that's the life we're going to have. But first I gotta work real hard so I can buy you a ring that'll take your breath away, but I don't mind cuz' I love you lots and lots." In the end, Yuzu gave Mei a tight squeeze her grip a little too tight as Mei gave a small cough.

Quickly releasing the grip, Yuzu returned to rubbing her nose against Mei's skin, her fingers and thumb working a soothing pattern along the back of Mei's hand.

Giving out a small humm as she continued her actions, Yuzu started picturing what their life would be like. Would they have children? If so how many? The number three popped into her mind and it stuck, it seemed like the perfect number. Three beautiful little munchkins of their own, to chase after and love. A comfortably sized house close to Tokyo so Mei could be near the school and their little babies could be near their grandparents.

Two little girls and a boy, or maybe all boys, perhaps all girls, but in the end, Yuzu shook her head, it didn't matter what they were she would love them regardless. She could picture the family happily and peacefully in her mind.

"Yup, a happy little family, that's what we're going to be Mei," Another kiss but this time Yuzu pulled up a little so she could just reach the edge of Mei's cheek.

"Is that so?"

Yuzu stumbled back as Mei's eyes opened when she kissed her cheek, letting go of her hand and jolting away from the girls face as if she had been committing a crime.

"M-M-Mei! I s-swear I wasn't doing anything!" Yuzu stuttered as she scratched the back of her head, a large blush on her face as she wondered just how much her girlfriend had heard.

Mei only turned in the bed to face the blonde, an amused yet satisfied smile on her face. "I know," Mei said as she waited for the blonde to lie back down.

"S-sorry for being weird and talking to you like that when you were asleep!" Yuzu stuttered anxiously as she lowered her head onto the pillow, taking note of the small smile Mei was giving off.

"It wasn't creepy Yuzu, from what I heard it sounded pretty nice," Mei spoke as she flexed her slightly cramped hand under the covers, while Yuzu only seemed to open her eyes wider in greater shock.

"H-how much did you hear?" Now fretting that Mei would know her plan of buying her an engagement ring, Yuzu waited anxiously for Mei's reply.

"Well, you were mumbling about having a sweet little home and having three children to run around after. Then you said we would be a happy little family," Mei smiled at the blonde, very much liking the picture she was creating.

"S-sorry I thought I was just saying that in my head, I didn't know I was actually still talking!" After getting over that she had been speaking aloud, Mei's words registered in her mind and a big grin grew on her face.

"You liked it? What you heard I mean?" Yuzu asked as she edged closer to Mei on the pillows, her face heating up at their proximity. Mei gave a slight nod,

"That is what I said." Mei gave a soft smile, "...How long have you been awake?" She continued when she saw no traces of slumber in the blonde's eyes.

"Just a little while, so you really wanna start a family with me and get our own house?" Yuzu asked, a smile evident on her face as she edged even closer to Mei.

"I do, and I believe we will one day. Though I can't guarantee we will have three, that does seem like a lot to handle. But I can say for sure that right now I very much like the idea of buying a house with you and starting a family together." Mei gave Yuzu a smile and didn't pull back when Yuzu leaned forward to give her an excited kiss. Her hand coming up to caress Mei's cheek as she showed her passion for the subject through their kiss.

"Hey Mei?..." Yuzu got a small nod as Mei's smile fell at the serious tone the blonde took. "...Last night, what you said at dinner with Mama and Papa... did you mean what you said about me wanting to have children with someone else? I-I know we are better now and what we're talking about is amazing, but was there even the tiniest bit of truth to it?" Yuzu asked nervously as she retracted her hand from Mei's cheek, it coming to lay between the two.

As much as this conversation had Yuzu on the edge of her seat in anticipation, what Mei had said last night obviously came from her images of Yuzu's dream, but surely they didn't just manifest from that alone?

"Yuzu..." Mei took the hand in her own, placing a kiss to the ring that was on the blonde's slim finger. "I know what I said hurt you, but I only said it because I was hurting and I thought you were fantasising about other people. Now I know that all it was was you getting a little... Kinky, I have no reason to believe that you would want a family with anyone one other than me. Besides, when I left the restaurant I even told myself what I said wasn't true, I didn't truly think that you wanted a family with anyone else I was just upset." Mei looked at Yuzu while she spoke, even when she gained a blush at her wording. Yuzu, too, had gotten a blush so big she thought her head might explode, did Mei really just use the word kinky?

"Sorry about that, I knew I shouldn't have put all the details in that," Yuzu said, accepting Mei's answer but gaining embarrassment at remembering what she had written the night before.

Bringing her hand up to the blonde's face, Mei pulled her down for a long, slow kiss. One that had both gasping for air by the end of it.

"You don't need to be sorry Yuzu, everyone has their quirks and I'm glad I know yours," Mei gave a smile to her girlfriend who was blushing furiously at what Mei was saying, and the abrupt intense kiss they had just finished.

Thinking she had to get the upper hand as the sly smile Mei was wearing was a little too cocky for the blonde, Yuzu shifted her weight as she raised onto her elbow as she loomed over Mei.

Raising her hand to Mei's arm, Yuzu traced her fingers over the length of Mei's arm, leaving a gentle tickling sensation as her fingers worked. "And what about you Mei?" Yuzu said as she moved her gaze from Mei's arm to the girls face, that was one of suspicion and curious fear. Yuzu no, don't do that. Mei's mind already knew where the blonde was going to take this from the look on her face, but it was too late to hide her 'quirks' as Yuzu's fingers were already at the base of her neck and working upwards.

"What other kinks do you have?" Her voice was low and husky as she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss to Mei's burning ear, her fingers following as they rimmed her outer ear.

"Hmmm?" Yuzu continued when she heard a moan rip from Mei's throat, Yuzu lifted her head back so she could look at Mei but her fingers remained.

"You know what I've been thinking about so how about you let me in on your little fantasies?" Yuzu said, her eyes glowing with excitement as she watched Mei shift her legs and her blush grow the longer her fingers continued their action. When she didn't answer Yuzu gave a pull on the rim of the ear and Mei's moan echoed throughout the room. Fearing that their parents would hear a not so quiet Mei, Yuzu removed her fingers.

"Y-Yuzu, stop this! Mnngh!" A loud satisfied groan left Mei's mouth as Yuzu gave all caution to the wind as she licked Mei's ear at her words. "You didn't answer me, Mei, what do you really want me to do to you?" Yuzu growled into her ear as she pulled back, her expression changing to one of pride as she watched Mei squeeze her eyes shut and hope that her moan wasn't too loud.

"Yu-zhu..." Mei was breathing heavily now and her breath was hot against Yuzu, who could only grin at her work.

"There is nothing I want, I already have you I don't need anything else," Mei said once she got her breath under control, though the blush never left her cheeks, in fact, it was growing down her neck.

Not prepared for Mei to say that Yuzu was stumped for words as she looked down to a panting Mei, who was meeting her gaze with love. At the blonde's extended silence, Mei continued. "I want you Yuzu, you make me feel all the pleasure in the world and more, although I can say that what you wrote did not disappoint me," Mei turned an even darker shade of red as she took a moment to glance away from Yuzu wishing it would take away some of her embarrassment.

"R-Really!" Yuzu gasped as she watched her cherry-red girlfriend turn darker by the second. Yuzu was sure that Mei wouldn't be into that type of thing but this new news was something she was going to make sure she protected with her life. After Mei nodded Yuzu lacked her shocked expression, it was swapped out for her sweet irresistible smile.

Leaning down from her hovering pose, Yuzu placed a soft kiss to Mei's trembling lips, "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable," Yuzu said as she pulled back from Mei, her hand being sure to stay on the side of Mei's neck and no higher.

"It's fine," Mei said as she turned to the blonde who had retired back to her pillow, her bold moment over. Once she was settled down Yuzu stuffed her pillow under her cheek so she could see Mei properly, a warmer yet seductive smile on her lips. "You really like that sort of thing?" Yuzu asked, her gaze burrowing holes into Mei's as she waited for her reply.

"I don't know if I like it yet we have never tried it, however, I am open to it," Mei answered, her cheeks that were only just starting to cool down when her words brought back her crimson appeal.

"Oh really?" Yuzu's eyebrows perked up at the suggestion, though Mei only smiled amused at the mixture of an offer and suggestiveness in her voice. Yet she still responded in her natural cool voice, but there was a hint of playfulness in it.

"Yuzu I wouldn't sleep with you back then when we lived under Mothers roof and the same still applies now. I won't sleep with you while we are here and besides that, Mother and Father are just down the hall so now is not the time or place to test out your fantasy." Mei said as she recalled their last few months together before they officially moved out, that was a tough time for her to keep her word and not sleep with Yuzu until they got their own place.

Both were late nineteen years old, sex deprived, horny as fuck teenagers and it seemed like anything remotely seductive the other did had them pouncing on the other. It wasn't like Mei didn't want Yuzu because she had wanted her for years, but she had made a statement to the blonde that they wouldn't rush anything and would only sleep together when they got their own house. For Mei sleeping with the blonde while their mother was home was a no-go from the start, but even just doing it in the woman's house she didn't really like.

That, and the fact she couldn't go back on her word or Yuzu would be too proud of herself for making her do it.

"Hey! I remember once I got you so close you almost forgot to stop, you didn't seem to mind too much that night," Yuzu said proudly as she recalled a weekend her mother had left for a business trip and had left Mei in charge while she was gone. And although Yuzu didn't really like it, Mei never really pulled any authoritative crap and they had a pretty good weekend alone. Least to say Yuzu almost managed to get some.

"I remember," Mei said with a smile, she remembered that weekend like it was yesterday, and had it not been her stubborn pride that refused to wave her word she believed they both would have lost something that night.

One and a half years ago

"When are you gonna be back Mama?" Yuzu asked as she waited by the door with her mother. "I'll be home Monday afternoon, so make sure you and Mei eat properly while I'm gone and don't burn the house down." Ume grinned to her daughter and only laughed when she gave an offended scoff.

"Yeah, we won't, by the way, as the older of the two of us am I in charge while you're away?" Yuzu pried as she hoped her mother would agree with her, but Ume only laughed again and greeted Mei who was also coming to wish the woman fare well.

"Have a safe trip Mother," Mei smiled and looked between the mother and daughter, "Thank you, Mei, as for your question Yuzu: I'm leaving Mei in charge while I'm away, I don't want any complaints or back chat, you live under my roof so my rules. Crap I gotta go, right I'll see you two in a couple of days," Ume rushed her final sentence as she glanced to the clock.

Giving both girls a kiss on the cheek and a brief hug goodbye, Ume left with her small suitcase leaving the two standing at the door.

"Hmmph this is so unfair, how come you get left in charge when I'm older than you!?" Yuzu growled as she stomped her feet in dissatisfaction. Mei, however, remained neutral, her tone not wavering as she addressed the blonde.

"Well out of the two of us I would say I am the more responsible one, not to mention my spending habits are none existent in compared to yours, hence why mother left it to me while she was away," Mei said but she saw the hurt look on the blonde's face and began to panic as to how she could make it right. "But, don't worry I won't order you around or anything. It will be just like normal, I promise," Mei said as she managed to make the blonde smile at her with the words.

"So what do you wanna do?" Yuzu asked as she watched Mei begin to retreat down the hall. "We have to get ready for school, just because Mother is away doesn't mean we don't go to school," Mei said as she continued her way down the hall, not pausing when she heard the whining blonde behind her.

"Yeah, yeah I know." Yuzu said as she slumped her way down behind Mei, but her mood greatly increased when it occurred to her that they had a weekend alone. Together. With no one to interrupt them. "Hey Mei?!" Yuzu ran into the bedroom after her dark-haired lover and jumped in front of her.

"What?" Mei said, not enjoying being cut off when they were running low on time. "Don't you think you that since we're alone this weekend we could do something fun?" Yuzu said, a tinge of a blush on her cheeks as she looked up to her stoic girlfriend. "What would you propose?" Not thinking they would get this far in the conversation with Mei being open to the idea, Yuzu was a little stumped for words.

"Can you please start getting ready? We can talk about this on the way to school," Mei said, brushing past the blonde to get dressed.

"Uhh, yeah sure," Yuzu mumbled as she made her way to her wardrobe while trying to think of a way they could have fun this weekend. Though nothing seemed to spring to mind; what could they do that would be fun for both of them and possibly spice things up a little bit more?

"Yuzu, get ready please, I'm not going to be late because of your inability to get dressed," Mei scolded as she made her way to pick up her bag and headed for the door. "Hey! I'm only gonna be two minutes," Yuzu said as she stumbled to quickly put her skirt and shirt on.

After a quick change and a slow morning routine, Yuzu was walking down the road side by side with Mei. "Where's Himeko?" Yuzu asked as she looked around the crossing where they usually met the drill-haired girl, but as unusual as it was for her not to be here Yuzu wasn't surprised when Mei gave an answer.

"We are ten minutes later than normal, she probably didn't want to be late and went on ahead," Mei said and with a final sweeping glance of the road, began to cross leaving the blonde still searching for any sign of the short girl.

"MEI-MEI!" Yuzu spun around at the declaration and Mei did too, they were both shocked to see the spoken of running towards them school bag in hand. When she finally got to them she paned her apology.

"Sorry to make you wait, I was running behind schedule this morning and so I'm late," Bowing fiercely, Himeko wished her dear friend hadn't been waiting too long for her to arrive.

"It's no problem, Yuzu and I were running late ourselves. Let's go," With that said Mei continued her walk to the other side of the road, her partner and friend quickly following after her as she didn't stop for a catch-up.

As the best friend made conversation with the president, Yuzu's mind was still swirling with the idea of what she thought she could do to get Mei's attention this weekend and make her break her rule.

Being brought out of thought as she heard the voice of her own best friend. "Yuzucchi! Why are you so late? I've been waiting out here is this crapy weather for ages!" Shouted the girl as she impatiently tapped her foot against the pavement, Yuzu quickly tried to distinguish her friend's anger as she ran up to her.

"Sorry we're late, Mama was leaving this morning so we started getting ready a little later than normal," A fraction of a bow to her friend and a scratch of her head later, Yuzu was in small chit chat with her friend as they all made their way to school.

Getting there before the bell rang, all four made their way to class and took their respective seats. With Mei paying little to no attention to the blonde as she said goodbye. Slumping down in her seat, Yuzu watched the back of Mei's head intently as she tried to think of something for this weekend, but when she had mentioned it Mei hadn't seemed all that interested. She hadn't spoken to her about it on the way to school and didn't linger in conversation when they went to their allocated seats in the classroom.

This wasn't unusual for Mei, she often ignored Yuzu while at school but was she doing it more so than normal today because she didn't want anything to happen on the weekend?

"What's up, you look all depressed?" Harumi said as she leaned over her chair onto the blonde's desk, not missing where her gaze was fixed.

"It's Mei, well not really, but Mama is going to be gone for the whole weekend and I thought we could ya know... do something but she doesn't seem interested at all." Her cheeks tinted pink as she spoke, Yuzu hoped her friend would pitch her some advice.

It wasn't uncommon for the two to discuss their drama or sex lives -not that either of the two had even done it yet- they frequently kept the other updated on their activity, and so Yuzu wasn't afraid to come to the girl with this.

"Hmm, so you wanna get laid and she's not giving you any?" Harumi said in a raised voice before l she cackled at the blonde's cherry red face that turned from a light blush to a ripe tomato in a matter of milliseconds, as many of the students in the room turned to look at the pair. Mei being one of them. Yuzu watched in mortification as Mei raised her eyebrow in a questioning manner, but she had to look away as the stares of their peers loomed over her.

"Harumin be quiet!" After getting over the stares Yuzu managed to scold her friend who was just quieting down.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry. Now about your little problem, have you actually had a proper conversation with her about it or just a stuttering mess of one?" Yuzu grumbled a yes to the latter option and started flicking her pencil off her desk.

"Well, why don't you make it seem more natural then? Plan something that she can't get out of and then bring her back home and bam!" Her story was finished by smacking her fists together for emphasis on how the night would end.

"I can't do that. She said she has studying to do this weekend cuz our finals are coming up soon, she probably won't even let me go out cuz she's in charge while Mama's gone," Grumbling again and shooting down the brunettes idea, Yuzu let out a defeated sigh.

"Alright then, what about just doing something at home? Make her dinner, be all romantic or something, that's bound to get her in the mood." Giving a wink, Harumi rested her head in her palm as she readied herself for the rest of the conversation before class started.

"Maybe, but I doubt she'd go for it. She said she doesn't want to do that until we get our own place, but that's gonna be months away and I know she wants it too. I mean she comes on to me all the time but then just stops and leaves. It's sooo frustrating, we've been going out for ages and she's just being so stubborn because of what she said a year ago." Yuzu wallowed in her self-pity while a grin grew on Harumi's face.

"Well, why don't we make it so she wants to do that and can't stop herself?" There was a mischievous glint to the girl's voice and Yuzu perked up at hearing it. "What do you mean?" Giving the girl a curious look, Yuzu waited for her grinning friend to continue.

"What I mean is, you said Mei's a bit of a lightweight right?"Yuzu nodded as she recalled one of the few times she had seen Mei with alcohol, "Then how about we make a little get together and have a small party? Just like close friends and we can say it's a study session but crack open a few bottles and you can put the moves on Mei?" Harumi was grinning like a Cheshire cat by this point, finding her dubious plan wonderfully amusing.

"Hey, that could work! When should we do it?" Yuzu's head jumped from the desk as she liked the idea, but then it faltered, "But wait, isn't that like, taking advantage of her?" Yuzu asked her smile dropping in concern that it might not be faithful. Harumi only waved her off, "Of course not, you just need to get her tipsy. You said yourself that she wants to get at you as much as you do her, so she just needs a bit of oil to get all the clocks turning right." A wink later and Yuzu's confidence was restored but before she could reply a stern voice filled the room.

"Alright everyone, take your seats and quieten down!" Rattling his knuckles over the hard desk, the teacher waited for his instructions to be followed his eyes pinning anyone who didn't make an immediate attempt to stop whatever they were doing.

Harumi was back at her desk in an instant while Yuzu's gaze landed on Mei who turned back to take a stealing glance at the blonde. Yuzu's blush was met with even more curiosity than before, but Mei was quick to turn away when she heard the teacher clear his throat ready to start the lesson.

The lesson was a daze for Yuzu, thinking about tonight seemed much more interesting than the poem on the board. "Yuzucchi! C'mon we gotta get there before all the good stuff's gone!" Yuzu looked up from the window to her friend who was rapidly tapping her desk and trying to get her to hurry up and pack her things.

"Oh ehh right, I was gonna talk to Mei just now about tonight. You can do tonight right?" Yuzu questioned as she looked up to an antsy Harumi.

"Yeah tonights fine, I'm gonna just meet you down there but try and not be too long I don't want to be sitting for too long alone with Matsuri. I can't be bothered with her attitude today," The girl complained with a sigh, however, Yuzu was quick to interject.

"You know, she is only that annoying cuz she likes you, right? She isn't normally like that I think it's just cuz she like likes you," Yuzu said with a smirk as she watched Harumi brush her off with no thought.

"Haha right, all that girl wants is a few one-night stands and that's it. I swear she has the sex drive of a dozen normal teenagers." Grabbing her bag, Harumi turned, "Right I'm heading down, don't be too long please," And with that, the girl walked towards the door and disappeared into the mass of students that now lined the school halls. Leaving Yuzu to scour over the classroom that was holding fewer and fewer girls by the second. When she spotted the one she wanted to speak with she impulsively let out a shout.

"MEI?!" Yuzu's raised voice caught the attention of many, all watching the mess of a student with scowling stares. "Emm, President could I speak with you for a minute?" Yuzu stuttered her more formal request as she waited for Mei's reply, and she half expected her to just continue her walk out of the room but she didn't. Yuzu watched as Mei gave a sigh before saying something inaudible to her ears to her second in command who gave a grumble but continued on without her superior.

"What is it Yuzu, you and Harumi have had enough outbursts today?" Mei asked as she walked towards the rowdy blonde, really looking like it was more of a chore for her than a luxury.

"S-sorry Mei," Yuzu brushed the back of her neck as she wished Mei would lose the irritated look on her face at being called out in such a way.

"I wanted to ask if you would, emm possibly, maybe wanna have a study group tonight?" Yuzu asked, trying to postpone the actual request by fitting in as many words as she could, not that it made any difference apart from making her look nervous as hell.

Yuzu watched as Mei lowered herself to sit on the side of a desk opposite the blonde, raising her brow and prompting the blonde mess to explain herself.

"Well... you see me and Harumin were talking and since finals are coming up she thought a good study session would do us all some good." Yuzu said, not very confidently though.

"Why don't you just study on your own, as it seems that going off your conversation this morning you have ulterior motives?" Mei said, not falling into the trap that the blonde was trying to set. "W-what?! No of course not! She was just messing about when she said that." Yuzu stuttered again, hoping to steer the conversation away from that point.

"I just think it will be a good change, you can invite whoever you want!" Yuzu said as she tried to appeal to her girlfriend more and more, and it seemed she was doing to as she sat in silence for a moment. "Fine, but if I suspect you aren't even trying to study then I will ask everyone to leave, you said yourself that we have finals in just over a month. Also, I've asked you many times but please stop addressing me so casually whilst we're in school, there are enough rumours going about without you attracting any more attention to us." Mei said as she picked up her bag again and headed for the door, thought Yuzu was quick to cram all her stuff into her bag and follow after her.

"I'm sorry Mei, I am, it's just confusing sometimes and I forget. I mean you can't just make out with me one minute and ignore me the next right?" Yuzu said, but clearly, it was wrong as Mei stopped dead in her tracks and turned back to her.

"Yuzu, if I hear those words leave your mouth when we are in a crowded corridor again so help me god. I asked you to stop that to keep gossiping to a minimum, if you would rather I just ignore you completely I suggest you keep quiet." Mei gave a slight glare to the blonde and without another word made her way down the hall away from the blonde.

Slumping down into the lunch table, Yuzu groaned in frustration catching the attention of all present. "I take it that means she said no?" Harumi asked as she watched Yuzu slowly pick her head off the table.

"No, she said fine so long as we don't have any ulterior motives, but then I said something stupid and now she's angry at me." Yuzu sulked as she explained to the occupants of the table, most of which paid the blonde's suffering little attention.

"Hey if you wanna fuck her just fuck her, what's with all the piss-farting around?" Matsuri scoffed as she watched the blonde, not seeing why she was being so tentative about the whole thing.

"Wellll, Matsuri, sleeping together for the first time isn't something you just force on someone like that. It has to be special and she has to want to do it with me," Yuzu snarled back at the youngers comment. "What?! Does Mei not what to smash you?" Again the smirk grew on the younger girls face and Yuzu only rolled her eyes.

"So who's all coming tonight? I Think Mei will probably drag along Hemiko which might be a problem but we can deal with that later." Harumi asked as she looked around the table. Matsuri instantly volunteered herself and Nene gave a reluctant nod. Even if she knew Yuzu and the president were dating she still had hope for the ultimate power couple of HaruYuzu. Not that both of those girls hadn't told her otherwise many times.

"Okay, well I'll see you all at about six tonight then? Hopefully, Mei will be in a better mood by then." Yuzu shrugged as she pulled her lunch from her bag and began eating, her mood slowly changing into a happier one as she enjoyed small talk with her friends.

Okay, Yuzuzcchi I'll see you later, tell the prez I said 'Hi and not to be in too bad a mood when we come over.'" YUuzu waved goodbye to her friend who was walking away with Matsuri and Nene, normally Yuzu would be part of that group but today she was waiting for Mei. It was normal for Mei to leave slightly later than most students, some days not even coming home until the evening but today Yuzu made it her mission to get the girl home.

Tonight shit was going down and for that to happen Mei had to be home relaxing, not at school working her ass off.

Making her way to the office, Yuzu knocked one for appearance then walked in, greeting the three members she found there. "Hey, Himeko, Kayo-san, Mei. Umm I wanted to go home with you today if you don't mind," Yuzu greeted them all generally but her second sentence was projected only at Mei.

"Aihara, don't you know how to wait for a reply before you come barging into a room?" Himeko snapped as she walked over to Yuzu and pointed to the door. Yuzu's brow twisted in frustration, why even when she was trying to be polite did this girl have to pick fault with her.

"Mei's in here so I should be allowed in here too, besides it's not like she's complaining and she is the boss of you so it doesn't matter." Yuzu snied, her tongue sticking out as she played the girlfriend card on the best friend. Himeko was quicker than ever to retort, feeling pure anger at trying to be outranked by the delinquent, but both were silenced by Mei.

"Enough, both of you. Yuzu what do you need?" Mei said, and Himeko didn't fail to notice how Mei completely bypassed the girls brash actions. Mei always turned a blind eye to the blonde's unruly actions and right now was just another to add to the list, had any other student came into this office without invite or permission Himeko could guarantee Mei would hand out some sort of punishment.

Humphing to herself, Himeko made her way back to Kayo who was watching the little scene unfold.

"Ohh I eh wanted you to finish early so we could walk home together and get something to eat before people start to arrive," Yuzu said wearily as she scratched the back of her head at the needy request. Mei gave a sigh before picking up her bag and after stuffing a few papers inside turned to the two girls watching her.

"Yuzu has decided to plan a study group this evening, you are both welcome to attend," Mei said as she watched Himeko's mouth drop while her more subtle member bowed politely to both sisters. "Thank you, however, I'm afraid I'm unable to attend tonight," Going back to her work, Kayo paid the conversation little more attention.

"If Mei-Mei is going to be there then so will I!" Himeko shouted as she stood strong, failing to let the blonde completely have her way with Mei. Yuzu didn't study a lot -to Himeko's knowledge- and when she did it wasn't with hundreds of distractions. Something didn't feel right about the smile on the blonde's face and Himeko refused to let anything happen tonight. She would protect Mei-Mei with her life.

Mei gave a nod. "Okay, let's go Yuzu," Mei said as she began walking to the door, Yuzu at her heel. "See you!" Yuzu shouted back into the room. Walking down the hall Yuzu kept close to Mei.

"Thanks for sticking up for me, she was getting at nothing," Yuzu said as she opened the door for her girlfriend, while Mei only sighed. "You know I only did that so I wouldn't be in your bad books for the weekend? Himeko was right, you should wait like everyone else when entering a room whether I'm in it or not," Mei frowned as she once again had let the blonde off and gone against the fair school policies. Because she wasn't fair, at least not when it came to the blonde.

"Hmph, fine." Yuzu grumbled a response as the cool breeze hit them. After a few minutes of silent walking Yuzu spoke up again, her voice much sweeter than before.

"I'm sorry about what I said earlier, I know you are just being cautious and I should be more careful," Yuzu said, her head bowing in apology. She watched her feet as she waited for Mei to speak but she only got a little reply. "It's fine,"

Maybe she's still upset with me? Yuzu thought. Sure her and Mei had grown significantly since they started dating for the second time over a half a year ago, but she still sometimes found it hard to see what the other girl was really thinking. She was quiet when she was happy and when she was mad or sad.

"Are you upset with me? If you are I can just cancel this thing tonight and you can study by yourself if you would prefer it?" Yuzu asked, now feeling slightly guilty at thinking maybe her abrupt get together might have caused Mei's mood, that or the girl still suspected Yuzu had ulterior motives.

"I'm not mad Yuzu, you don't have to cancel anything I'm happy you are trying new methods of studying," Mei said, a quick look at the blonde to show her sincerity. Yuzu gave a grateful nod and smiled, feeling much more relaxed at Mei's words. But the small twang of guilt still rested in her heart. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, Yuzu wanted their first time to be great and romantic but this didn't exactly feel like that. Mei thought she was trying to get studying down and here Yuzu was thinking of the possible ways they were going to have sex tonight.

Grrr, why was this such a hard decision for her? But soon they were on and off the train and walking through the front door to the apartment. It was already past four, Yuzu had to get started on dinner before everyone else got here, she didn't have time to think about all the other plans in her head right now.

"Do you have anything specific you want for dinner tonight?" Yuzu asked as she slumped her bag down onto the chair in the living room before making her way to the kitchen.

"No, whatever you want is fine. Just make sure and be quick, I don't want there to be any mess when our friends come over," Mei said as she picked up the blonde's bag and took it through to the room with her own.

And so 'Whatever' is what Yuzu made: A simplistic rice dish, that would be a substantial meal that made little mess and could be made quickly. The two had eaten and cleaned up by five and Yuzu and her stepsister were currently setting up the living room for the guests. Setting chairs and cushions around the small coffee table, Yuzu even set out a few snacks.

"Are you going to stare at me all night?" Mei asked from the kitchen table as she looked back to Yuzu who had unconsciously been staring at her for the past few minutes. Frantically waving her hands in front of her as her cheeks turned red Yuzu stuttered a reply as she turned to the couch. Why was tonight weighing so much on her mind?

The hour passed this was and soon Yuzu was jumping off the couch to the door where she was met with all three of her friends. Matsuri was holding a grocery bag in her hand as pulled the bottle out to show Yuzu the few bottles of alcohol it contained.

"I brought you some courage," Winking Matsuri walked herself into the apartment. "Where did she even get that?" Yuzu asked as she looked to the two standing at the door, Harumi shrugged as she answered,

"She said she asked her dad for some cuz she was going out with her friends, he said 'no' but she guilted him into doing it, saying that she was lonely and just wanted to have some fun." Rolling her eyes at the manipulative girl's story Harumi walked in after Nene who was nervously walking into the house.

"Ahhh I can't believe I'm in Yuzu's house!"The younger girl screeched as she looked at the room, but her face reddened terribly when Matsuri slung her arm around the girl's shoulders and pointed to Mei then the wall they were leaning against.

"Yup the very one, this is even the wall Yuzu got fingered by Mei on," A dubious grin covered her face when the not so innocent girl couldn't even stutter a reply she was so shocked. Her cheeks cherry red but she was always rooting for Harumi, this wasn't something that should have put her in such a state.

"Do not believe a word she tells you. I hope you are planning on actually studying tonight and not just here to wind your peers and upperclassmen up." Mei scolded as she got from her chair to chastise the younger girls, not impressed with how this was starting. Though even at Mei's dismissal the youngest girl couldn't drag her eyes away from the wall, seasons worths of images and scenes playing in her mind.

"Of course not, I'm going to study but I brought along some beverages to help," Jangling the bag in the air, Matsuri grinned when she saw Mei's scowl narrow again, "Why do you have to be like this?" Sighing, Mei nipped the bridge of her nose as she debated whether to even reprimand the action as she knew it would have no effect on her actions.

"Because," Was the answer she got, looking away from the two first years, Mei looked over to the two best friends who were having a hush-hush conversation with one another in the entryway.

"What are you two doing?" Mei asked, her voice only slightly raised, this already felt like it was going to be an exceedingly long night and they had only been here for three minutes.

"EHH NOTHING!" Yuzu shouted from the hall as she and Harumi walking into the house, the former had a distinguishable blush on her cheeks. Not daring to ask Mei only walked to the living room in preparation for the night of hell to come.

Before the rest could follow the door went again and this time Yuzu opened it to reveal Himeko in... Normal clothes?

"What are you wearing?" Yuzu almost laughed but managed to disguise it within a cough. "What do you mean 'what am I wearing?', I've dressed appropriately for a study session, a dress that I would normally wear out would be slightly too uncomfortable and inconvenient for this. Now, are you going to invite me in or not?" The small woman barked at the blonde who only managed a nod before stepping aside and letting the shorter inside.

"Good evening Himeko," Mei said as relief washed over her that someone serious had joined them.

All six were soon sitting around the small coffee table with Mei and Yuzu on the larger couch, while Himeko took one of the armchairs and the rest had convened around the table on the floor. Mei suspected for conversation more than anything else.

A little over an hour had passed and even if the members of the student council were still studying the other present were not.

"Well I say its about time we crack open some of the fizzy stuff!" Matsuri exclaimed as she jumped to her feet. She got a nod from Harumi, a nervous glance to Mei from the blonde and a shake of the head from Himeko.

"We are underage, drinking is against the law!" However, even at her belief that it was wrong, Mei put her hand up to silence her friend.

"There's really no point in even trying to stop her Himeko, they are going to drink no matter what we say so just ignore them... Yuzu?" Mei after calming her friend, turned to her girlfriend to see what her verdict was, as well as her plans.

A nervous look to Matsuri who was walking back with her bag and several glasses, Yuzu gave a wavering smile. "Emm maybe just one?" Coughing to hide her embarrassment of needing Mei's approval, Yuzu waited for her reply.

"Fine, however, I am responsible for you this weekend so please be considerate of that." With that Mei turned back to her book, completely bypassing the complaints of the shorter girl.

Soon four of six had a glass of wine, which Yuzu thought tasted more like a juice than anything else. One that Nene seemed to be drinking like a fruit shoot.

"Hey don't you think you should slow down a little?" Harumi asked as she watched the small girl drain the glass, her cheeks already slightly rosy.

Though the comment went unnoticed by the girl as Matsuri was quick to refill and continue the conversation.

"Her Yuzu, nows the time. Offer her a taste and then pore her a glass." Nudging the blonde's leg, Harumi pointed to Mei who was scanning through pages of her book. A firm nod from Yuzu and she leaned over and tapped Mei on the shoulder.

"Hey, Mei do you maybe wanna try this? It tastes really nice, I think you will like it." Offering the glass to her sister who was eying her, "I think I'll pass, this is supposed to be a study group and not a lot is going to get done if we are all intoxicated." Mei said, refusing the wine glass.

"Oh come on, one glass isn't going to make you drunk c'mon just a taste?" Giving her best puppy dog eyes, Yuzu batted her eyelids and hoped Mei would give in. She did.

With a sigh, Mei took the glass from the blushing blonde and took a small sip.

Slightly surprised by the fruity, fuzziness Mei took another small sip.

"It's not bad," Taking a final sip before offering the glass back to Yuzu, Mei questioned if she should just have one. Though the decision was made once again as Matsuri already had one full and reached out to her.

After a moment's hesitation, probably influenced by the blonde that was staring hopefully at her, Mei took the glass and thanked the girl for it.

"Mei-Mei?" Hemiko exclaimed in utter disbelief. Infuriated that Mei had once again picked the blonde over her Himeko ordered a glass of her own, surprised by the flavour as well and found it hard to believe something so fruity without any bitterness could be wine.

"One glass is fine Himeko, but you should be careful you know you don't have a high alcohol tolerance," Mei said, worried her friend would try and match everyone else when she knew her tolerance levels were shockingly low, even for a girl of her physique.

After another nudge to the knee from a grinning Harumi, Yuzu shuffled closer to Mei, their shoulders now rubbing against one another.

A look from Mei told Yuzu that she was being watched and questioned by her girlfriend at her unusually close proximity.

Yuzu didn't move from her position, instead moved her spare hand from her thigh onto the side of Mei's. Hidden from the view of their friends, Yuzu risked gently rubbing her hand over Mei's leg.

Mei waited a few moments for Yuzu to stop her actions, and when she continued even when she gave her several more glances she moved herself.

"Do you need to be so close?" Mei asked and she crossed her legs away from Yuzu, the action removing the blonde's hand from her legs.

Blushing furiously at the comment Yuzu scrambled together an excuse, not wanting to be found out by Himeko or Mei. Well the later probably already knew something was going on, but Yuzu didn't want things getting complicated because of Himeko's overprotective tendencies.

"I-I was just looking at your textbook," Stuttering as she leaned an arm over and scraped her finger over the pages of the book, not having a clue what Mei was actually reading.

An 'mmhhmn' came from Mei but she remained with her legs crossed and in view of the others. She has a sneaking suspicion that her girlfriend was being a little too friendly tonight. She knew the rules and they applied whether their mother was home or not, and especially when their friends were here with them. Yuzu was being a little too bold tonight and sly touching of the legs and rubbing of the back was not something Mei failed to notice.

The evening was going as planned so far the blonde. They were all drinking even if she was watching her own consumption along with Mei's, Yuzu was more than happy to let the others get wasted so she could sneak away with a special someone. Nene was already seeing start as she lay nearly perched up against the stump of the coffee table, only three glasses in along with Himeko who was although more presentable totally out of it. If she stood from the chair Yuzu was sure she would get no further than a few steps at best.

Matsuri and Harumi were engrossed in casual conversation with one another. The pair had moved away from Nene and were sharing the armchair, very much brushing thighs and bumping shoulders. This Yuzu had expected from Matsuri, she was very aware that the girl had some sort of feelings for her best friend but what shocked her was that Harumi, who had shown no previous interest in the girl in such ways, was reacting normally to the advances and Yuzu thought she even saw her responding to them by making similar advances to the pinkette.

Dragging her eyes over to Mei who was still trying to read and study, Yuzu swivelled her eyes to the glass on the table. The empty glass on the table. Then to the stack of bottles on the floor, counting three glasses per bottle Yuzu tried to add up how many each of the girls had had. But with everyone doing different things that evening Yuzu lost track, turning to Matsuri Yuzu moved over to her.

"How many glasses did you give Mei?" Yuzu whispered. Matsuri had been the makeshift bartender throughout the night, making sure that no one was ever left with a dry glass, meaning she would be the only one to know how much Mei had actually drunk.

"Emmmmm, four maybe five. Why? You gonna make your move now?" A devilish grin made it's way onto her face as she waited for the blonde to reply, though she got one from Harumi instead.

"If that's the case then our job here is done, I'll text my sister to come and pick us all up and give you two some privacy." Even while she was saying this the auburn-haired girl already had her phone out and was finished typing the message by the time she had finished talking. She had a swift reply that made Yuzu think the girl had planned this getaway car before they had even arrived.

"Yuzu, come here." Mei's voice came from the other side of the room as she lazily slogged her textbook onto the side of the chair, her hand gesturing to the space beside her.

It was gaining ten when Yuzu actually stopped and looked at Mei's glass, she hadn't even noticed it being refilled or that Mei was drunk. It was very obvious that she was drunk to Yuzu, and probably anyone else in the room that was still coherent enough to know what the word meant, only now she had the problem of Mei being too drunk.

Sure if she was just a little tipsy but still had her wits about her that would have been fine, but this wasn't that. Any decisions Mei made tonight Yuzu couldn't hold her too, she wasn't herself and that was showing from the way she was purring into the blonde's ear at the minute. If Yuzu slept with Mei tonight, it wouldn't be one hundred per cent consensual and without using the word, she knew what that was, and refused for it to happen.

After sitting down next to her intoxicated girlfriend, Yuzu tried to keep herself from falling into her own trap but Mei was making it a little hard. She had made up for the space between the two that Yuzu had tried to leave, and taking the blonde's lead from earlier, began rubbing her upper leg. The sensation sending tingles through Yuzu's body, residing in her lower abdomen.

Her lips brushing the outer of Yuzu's ear, Mei spoke, "I have a confession to make: I've wanted to do this with you for so long and I don't think I can hold myself back tonight," The words hit Yuzu like a thousand-ton bus. Did she really just say that? Fuck that feel good, Yuzu thought as Mei's hand slipped behind her neck and began lightly massaging it as her lips made contact with the blonde's burning hot neck.

Though Yuzu was saved as the doorbell went, bringing her out of her daze and made her jump from the couch and rush to the door. Abruptly leaving Mei and disappointing her all the same. Opening she found a not so impressed Mizuki, frowning at the blonde and the fresh saliva covered hickey on her neck.

"Aihara, I'm here to pick up the other girls and take them home." Realising what her senior was looking at Yuzu slapped a hand to her nack and with bright red cheeks invited the woman into the house to get the other girls ready to leave.

"Ehh yes, please come in. Harumin your sisters her!" Yuzu bellowed into the house as she walked back in, suddenly wishing she had drunk more and didn't look like the sober responsible one.

Harumi was at the door swiftly with Masuri not far behind her, and soon both of the past walking girls were down in the car and Yuzu was saying her last goodbyes before closing the door behind them and making her way over to the couch, which Mei had still to remover herself from.

As soon as she was sitting down on the couch Mei was already on top of Yuzu, pushing her back into the armrest as she straddled her thighs. Yuzu was painfully aware of Mei watching her walk over to the couch and was only half surprised when she was lunged on and taken in a deep kiss. One that had her cheeks pink and her face flushed, but one she accepted all the same. It wasn't too often she found herself pinned under her girlfriend, loving the way she was grinding her pelvis against her thighs.

The kiss was hot, Mei took all control as she delved her tongue deep into her partner's mouth, desperate to feel and taste her tonight. But everything had to stop, they had to breathe, Mei seemed to forget this and as soon as the kiss was broken latched onto the blonde's neck.

Moan after moan was ripped from Yuzu as she lived for this feeling, the feeling of Mei up against her, but then she did something that reminded Yuzu this wasn't right:

Pulling back from the blonde, Mei pried her shirt over her head before claiming Yuzu's fresh lips again, her hand trailing under the plain shirt to find a perky bra-covered breast that she took in her grasp.

Breaking the kiss as fast as it was initiated, Yuzu pulled Mei's hand from her chest and moved her back off her legs, all the while keeping her eyes away from two bouncing mounds in front of her face. Those two very tempting mounds that she wanted to feel inside her mouth, roll along her teeth, squeeze between her fingers.

No.

"M-Mei I think we should just go to sleep tonight." Yuzu stuttered as she managed to get from the couch and after taking Mei's hand and arm managed to lead her through to the bedroom, giving time for stumbling and stuttering for the girl's drunkenness.

Upon entering Yuzu felt a hand snake around her waist and pull her backwards. Lips were felt pressed against the back of her neck and she almost gave in to the burning desire in between her legs. Mei's almost naked chest was rubbing against Yuzu's back as her lover's torso moved against her. The feeling of having Mei's body grinding against her from behind had Yuzu almost pushing her ass back into Mei's pelvis, but a stronger sense of righteousness kept her from doing so.

"Mei no! Go to bed, now, I mean it I don't want to do that with you," Yuzu said in a rushed attempt to get Mei off her, and it worked as she instantly let go and Yuzu realised what she had said. Turning around so she could face the girl, Yuzu took in a sharp breath as she watched a tear roll down the girl's cheek. It was quickly wiped away and replaced with a cold stoic expression.

"Fine, I don't care I didn't want to do it with someone like you either." The cold remark earned Yuzu a knife to the heart while Mei stormed past her and stuffed herself under the covers.

Having only seen Mei drunk less than a few times, Yuzu wasn't sure how best to deal with the girl. So instead of reacting and making the situation worse, Yuzu left the room and set up a blanket on the couch. Hoping that keeping away from the girl was the best solution. Flicking off all the lights, and setting the used wine glasses and bottles in the kitchen, Yuzu slumped herself onto the couch and cursed herself for letting the evening turn this way.

She should have been getting layed for the first time right now not sitting here wishing she had watched Mei's consumption a little better. That was this weekend ruined and if she was lucky maybe Mei wouldn't remember the harsh words she had just spoken when she got up the next morning.

She awoke the next morning to a light shaking of her shoulder and the quiet voice that was straining to say her name. Blinking a few times, Yuzu opened her eyes and upon seeing Mei's drowsy face remembered why she was in the living room again. Sitting up she popped her stiff back a few times before looking to Mei who looked confused as ever, not to mention hungover.

"Why are you sleeping on the couch and how much did you let me drink last night, my head is splitting?" Mei asked the questions simultaneously as she queried as to why her girlfriend had been put in the dog house and she couldn't remember why?

"M-Mei?" Yuzu asked, she cleared the sleep from her eyes, as she swivelled her legs out from under the blanket and stood to match Mei's hight.

"Why are you sleeping on the couch?" Mei asked, her voice a little more serious as she asked again, looking for an answer from the still half asleep blonde.

"Ohh ehh, you got a little too drunk last night and you were... coming on to me quite seriously... I didn't want to take advantage of you and do it cuz you couldn't exactly say 'yes', so I said something to get you to stop and you got mad. So I decided just to sleep on the couch and let you be..." Yuzu said drowsily as she wiped the last of the sleep from her eyes, trying to hide the blush on her cheeks at explaining just what Mei had done.

She didn't get a reply for a little while and Yuzu thought she was going to get scolded for persuading her to drink in the first place, instead, she got something softer.

"Thank you for that, I can be a handful when I drink too much when it comes to you. I appreciate you had the self-restraint to keep yourself from giving in to my advances." Mei gave a nod of acknowledgement to Yuzu. She was grateful that Yuzu had managed to stop her impulses last night, drunk and unable to remember was not how Mei wanted their first time to be, and knowing that Yuzu didn't want it either comforted Mei.

Yet Mei watched as Yuzu didn't seem to accept her apology graciously, her eyes flicked with indecisiveness and she tapped her fingers rapidly against her thighs. Mei had seen her do this several times and was beginning to wonder if the girl had some sort of twitch she was unaware of. Though not having time to bring it up as Yuzu bowed a full ninety degrees and apologised.

"I'm sorry! It was my fault!" Yuzu practically shouted as she kept her position facing the floor. This truly was a strange morning for Mei, she had woken up alone, shirtless, a banging sore head and Yuzu was apologising for her inappropriate actions?

Resting a hand on the blonde's shoulder, Mei gently incouraged Yuzu to stand up. "Yuzu, why are you apologising?" Mei asked as she finally revealed Yuzu's tearing eyes. Now she was very confused, why was she crying? Mei swore that Yuzu was too emotional and found anything worth crying over, but that was one of the reasons why she loved her.

"I-I it was my fault you got drunk. Harumin brought up that you were a light-weight and that if I wanted to get you to sleep with me then all I had to do was get you tipsy. She said then you would still be you know, stable enough to say 'yes' but relaxed enough that you wouldn't say no because we are in Mama's house. I'm sorry I listened and even thought about trying to make you do that with me! I feel terrible and I promise that I'll never try and get you drunk again!" Yuzu said, bowing again as she felt the guilt overwhelm her.

It took Mei a moment to grasp what the blonde was saying to her. So you got me drunk to try and sleep with me, got halfway through by the looks of your neck, but didn't? "You said I was the one trying to get you to sleep with me, not the other way around?" Mei said and she watched Yuzu's head shoot up at the comment.

"No no it was like that. Everyone left and you said you wanted to have s-sex so we did start making out, b-but after like five minutes I felt super bad about it because I knew you wouldn't remember any of it and that it wasn't really you. So I pushed you off me and took you through to the bedroom which is where you got mad at me." Yuzu defended to Mei who could only listen and believe what she was saying was the truth, and in all honesty, she did.

"Okay. Well, whatever happened doesn't matter now so let's forget about it and I won't tell mother. Thank you for not sleeping with me, but I would appreciate it if in the future you refrained from doing anything like this again." Mei said, turning and making her way to the kitchen where she was quick to find some paracetamol and a cup of tea.

Shocked that she had gotten over it so lightly Yuzu ran behind her into the kitchen. "Really, that's all you are going to say?" She got a raised eyebrow from her girlfriend as she sat down at the table.

"What else do you want me to say? It is not your responsibility to watch how much I drink, it was my fault for being careless. In regards to you 'plan' I can't say I approve of it but I think we both know you don't have the guts to go through with something like that; from what you've said happened last night is evidence." Mei said as she nursed her tea, wishing Yuzu would just stop talking and let her rest in peace.

It took Yuzu a few moments to figure out how she was going to respond to Mei's nonchalance. She didn't want to be scolded for her actions the night before and would rather they had a pleasant weekend together alone, but part of her felt like she was getting off too easy with this. Yuzy instead of asking to get in trouble accepted Mei decision to forget and instead placed her hands on her hips and gave her signature bright smile.

"Ok Mei, then what would you like for breakfast?"

The day continued relatively quietly for the pair, soon it was night and the two were washing up for bed following their usual nightly routine. Mei seemed to be in much better spirits now and Yuzu was grateful, maybe she would get a goodnight cuddle as well as their custom kiss.

"I'm gonna jump in the bath, kay?" Yuzu smiled as she gathered some clothes and headed to the bedroom door and continued when she got no reply from the younger girl. Not that she should have expected one, the statement didn't need a response so it solemnly happened that Mei would give one if it was unnecessary.

Yuzu was in the bath no more than ten minutes when the door slid open, letting some of the steam escape the enclosed room.

Instinctively Yuzu's hand flew to cover herself and duck under the water, "Mei?! I'm still in here," Yet the footsteps grew closer and soon Yuzu was greeted with Mei's naked form standing above her. It took all her will not to let her eyes rest at head hight and let them rise to meet Mei's gaze. Though it seemed that Mei couldn't muster her courage to look Yuzu in the eye as her eyes were locked on the bath water instead of the blonde. Without a word Mei stepped into the water beside the blonde and sat down, her shoulder mere millimetres from Yuzus.

"I thought we could bath together," Her cheeks as bright as the sun, Mei hugged her knees as she sat unmoving next to the blonde, who still had her eyes glued to her girlfriend.

Yuzu watched in disbelief as she looked upon Mei's slender form sitting next to her. The curve of her neck and round shoulder, the way her hair just covered the side of her face and flowed down the perfectly constructed back, and most of all was the furious blush on her cheeks, proving that she was feeling just as, maybe more, embarrassed as Yuzu was at the moment.

There was an awkward silence in the room as both sat unsure of what to do. Mei had been feeling a little extra when she entered the bathroom. She could feel herself wanting to spend more time with Yuzu tonight, joining her girlfriend in the bath didn't seem like that big of a deal at the time when she was collecting clothes for herself, but now she was stunned for what she should be saying. She didn't want it to be this awkward between them, so raising her head, Mei managed to look at the blonde who was still yet to look away from her.

She was first caught in the bright emeralds that locked onto her amethyst orbs the moment she looked up, then her eyes trailed down, down to the lips she had been seeking for the better part of an hour since Yuzu had made her favourite for dinner. The gesture although not uncommon gave Mei butterflies when Yuzu presented it to her, since then she had this nagging feeling to be closer to the blonde. So here she was, her lips getting frightfully close to the pair in front of her.

No words were spoken from either party, Yuzu sat motionless as her throat constricted as she tried to swallow the built up saliva in her throat at Mei advances. It also wasn't uncommon for Mei to spontaneously kiss her, but Yuzu was never prepared and they usually ended before she could even try and take the upper hand or try and prolong it.

Soon Mei had brought up her hand to rest against Yuzu's cheek, but the touch was almost nonexistent it was so featherlike. Almost as if Mei was scared to break her or ruin the moment between the two. Lips were connected and Mei felt herself melt against the soft skin of the blonde, who had uncharacteristically brought her own hand to the side of Mei's head, her fingers tangling in the locks of silky hair as her fingers massaged her scalp.

Letting her tongue brush up against her partner's lips, Mei waited mere seconds before she was granted permission to proceed further in the blonde's vortex. Mei felt her entire being relax into the embrace, her body turned in the tub to face the blonde properly, her head tilting and her fingers grasping at the blonde's cheek for security.

A moan slipped from Yuzu as she felt Mei's tongue in her mouth. One of her favourite feelings in the world. She didn't have the brain space to question where this sudden impulse had come from, all her focus was on the feelings she was currently experiencing, and the growing butterflies in the pit of her stomach as Mei's chest slowly began to press against her own as they moved closer.

Shit, that's her nipple! Yuzu screamed internally as she felt a rather hard small nub rub just above her own pink tips; they too were growing solid.

"T-Too... hot!" Yuzu panted as the kiss was broken, her breath heavy in her chest and fell even heavier against Mei's lips that were still close enough to brush with her breath.

The air was thick and musky in the bathroom, Mei's plump lips and naked form in front of her along with her erratic heart-rate all combined together to make Yuzu a sweating, crumbling mess.

It was stifling hot in the bathroom and Yuzu, most probably Mei as well, needed the fresh air they had been deprived of.

At the blonde's words, Mei seemed to regain her usual composure; moving away from Yuzu to give the girl some space in the tub.

"Sorry," was all Mei said as she moved away, letting the water wash up her skin and push against the blonde.

At the apology, Yuzu's head flew around to meet Mei, "Don't apologise for that!" Her rushed words of encouragement helped Yuzu to build up a small amount of courage, even if she was seeing stars she was so hot.

Even with Mei having moved from Yuzu, her eyes continued to flick back to the blonde, seemingly impossible to keep her gaze from her girlfriend. This not so subtle action forced Yuzu to do something. If Mei wanted to do something tonight Yuzu was more than for it, but she couldn't have Mei thinking she wasn't allowed to do stuff like this to her.

Making up the distance between them, Yuzu took Mei's cheek in the palm of her hand and brought her into a slower kiss. One that inticed Mei to face the blonde again, if only to feel the full extent of the embrace.

It lasted a while and Yuzu treasured every moment of it, and it was clear that Mei was enjoying it too. She showed that by manoeuvring her head to fit the blonde's lips better, the strong blush on her cheeks that's spread to her ears and the few quiet moans Yuzu heard.

"We should get out of the bathroom, you are getting too hot." Mei pulled away when her hand landed on the blonde's cheek and she felt the burning sensation from it. And although severally disappointed at the loss of contact, Yuzu was grateful she would get out of the swelteringly hot room.

Standing, Mei removed herself from the bath and after quickly rapping a towel around her truest form, held a hand out to help her girlfriend. Yuzu took the hand eagerly, no longer caring for the relaxing bath, but the possibility that Mei wanted this night to continue on.

"Mei, what are we doing?" Yuzu tentatively asked as she struggled to wrap her towel around herself while picking up her clothes as she tried to follow Mei out of the room.

Getting to the room, Mei spent a few moments collecting her thoughts on the side of the bed; What was she doing? She had a burning desire inside her to take the blonde. It was true they were alone this entire weekend and no one would be here to disturb them, nor was there the risk that their mother would find them in the act. Yuzu had treated her like a queen the whole day, showing her love and apologies all for her 'plan' the previous night, when really she had proved herself as the loyal, respectful, caring girlfriend she was. And Mei wanted to take their relationship to the next level. Yuzu had proven herself and was clearly eager as ever to indulge in the deed, and Mei had fantasised more times than she would admit about what it would be like to finally sleep with Yuzu, so was tonight the night they went further?

Looking up from her hands, Mei was met with the sight of Yuzu drying her semi-wet tussles of hair. Unlike herself, who had placed her hair in a bun, Yuzu's hair was soaked and if things were going to progress, Yuzu refused to have dripping wet hair. But Mei thought the sight was endearing as ever, the slightly dripping locks falling over the peachy shoulders as she shook her hair with her hands.

Having no other thoughts in her mind, Mei was up from the bed and next to Yuzu in a matter of moments. Pushed back against the bedroom wall while her tongue re-entered the blonde's mouth. The feeling almost pushing Mei over the edge.

Bodies pressed together and moans slipped from both occupants as their tongues danced and twirled around the others. Mei brought a hand to Yuzu's shoulder, the white bath towel being held up just centimetres from where her fingers were lingering.

"Yuzu, I want to." Mei gasped as she pulled back for air, her lungs wheezing as she deprived them of what they wanted. Her lips were still close enough that she placed a few pecks to the quivering lips she had just released as she looked into the wild emeralds. Seemingly shocked that Mei would actually want to go that far tonight and not just a heated make-out session.

Yuzu's eyes were filled with a new resolve. She had planned this moment for the better part of half a year and as the older one, it was her job to take control and lead Mei. Taking her role, Yuzu removed Mei's hand and slowly let her towel drop to the floor, content with the gasp she heard from Mei's lips when her body was revealed just for her.

Mei didn't have too much time to drink in the sight as she was captured in another kiss, this time although not truly being dominated, Yuzu took the leading role. Coaxing Mei's tongue with her own, gripping her lip with her teeth and letting her hands wander over Mei covered back.

Kisses were fast and between panting breathing, Yuzu let out adequate moans as she felt Mei's tentative hands come to rest against her sides, slowly beginning to move them up and down.

Loving the sensation of rubbing her hands over her lover's body, Mei's breath was just as erratic as Yuzu's was, only Mei felt she was confined within the walls of her bath towel. The fabric stopping her from taking in the air she needed.

Turning their positions, Yuzu had Mei up against the wall and left a barrage of kisses up and along her neck. Nipping and dragging her teeth along the hot skin. The excitement in Yuzu's stomach was something she had never felt before; she was about to have sex! Her mind was a scrambled mess, she had no idea how she was managing to do this, her brain certainly wasn't functioning enough to tell her to drag her hands down Mei's sides. But she did. And loved it.

"Mei," Yuzu moaned as she pulled her hands up Mei's sides and dragged them over her waist. Effectively pushing her back into the wall and pinning her in place.

Heart pounding and her cheeks roasting, Mei felt the butterflies in her stomach take control over all her senses as she felt the tongue glide up and down her neck.

A series of uncoordinated kisses and wobbly knees led the late-teens to the bed where Yuzu landed under Mei, her hands still gripping the fabric of the towel that covered the beautiful skin beneath it.

The sudden position change caused a pause in Mei's actions. She had the blonde writhing beneath her if she moved down now she could have the blonde and every piece of her. Satisfy the burning in her core. Give in to the desires that were eating away at her.

Tangled hair sprayed against the pillows, the plump lips waiting for her next move, the hot hands still on her sides.

Mei didn't care.

Reaching a hand to her chest, Mei slowly loosened the material. Her chest soon being as exposed as her girlfriends as she let the towel slide off her back onto the bed.

-gasp-

Yuzu sucked in a breath as she took in the sight of Mei offering herself to her. Unlike before, Mei waited a few moments before she dipped her head down to capture the blonde in an embrace that would soon leave the two gasping for breath.

Their chest and torsos moulded together for the first time, their legs brushed against each other and their tongues danced.

Moving on, Mei ignored the small amount of embarrassment she felt and moved to pamper the blonde's neck with her lips. Leaving soft touches and fleeting strokes of her tongue, her hands now coming to caress the hot flesh of the Blonde's sides.

This was it, she was finally giving in to Yuzu. They would go further tonight.

-Ring...Ring... Ring... Ring...-

The sound of Yuzu's phone rung out through the bedroom, momentarily distracting them, but the ringing stopped and their concentration was immediately given back to the other.

-Ring...Ring... Ring... Ring...-

Again, the phone went off and Yuzu groaned in disappointment when she felt Mei shift off her to see who was calling Yuzu this late. Yuzu watched as Mei's eyes widened at the caller.

Trying manically to get her breathing under control, Mei swiped to answer and still gave raspy breaths down the speaker.

"Good- Good evening Mother,"

"Mei? Is everything alright, you seem pretty out of breath? Where's Yuzu?" Ume's concerned voice came down the phone, and Mei lectured herself on not presenting herself properly.

"Yes, thank you. I was just doing some exercise. Yuzu is right here I was just closer to her phone, if you are calling to check up on us we are completely fine." Mei said, her breath finally coming to a normal rate.

She flicked her eyes to Yuzu who seemed annoyed with the interruption but also had gone shy. Slipping her naked body under the covers as Mei held her back to her.

"Oh that's great, I was just calling to make sure you were both okay. I'll speak to you two tomorrow then, good night, love you." Ume smiled as she spoke, and smiled brighter when she got the mumbled reply of Mei repeating her words.

Silence took over the room as Mei hung up the phone and placed it back down on the dresser.

Feeling suddenly exposed, Mei reached for the towel on the bed and brought it up to cover her chest and pelvis. Now turning around to face Yuzu, Mei after speaking with their mother had been reminded of the promise she had made to herself.

The neverending desire had ended, and Mei felt the pent up energy dwindle away after having a conversation with their mother. She had calmed down, she had returned to her rational thinking.

Doing this would be letting Yuzu win, they only had a few months left until Mei could do this guilt-free. She couldn't let this happen, she couldn't let her have this satisfaction.

The tingling feeling in her stomach was still there, no doubt about it, but she didn't have the burning desire to have Yuzu's fingers rubbing her clit anymore.

"I think we should go to bed." Getting from the bed, Mei made her way to the wardrobe and picked out some nightwear. Quickly changing into them, Mei felt slightly uncomfortable with Yuzu's strong gaze but didn't let it stop get from getting under the covers on her side of the bed.

"Huh? That's it?" Yuzu squeaked as she rose from the bed to look at Mei, finding it completely unfathomable that minutes ago they were naked on one another, now they were going to sleep.

A nod from Mei prompted Yuzu to grab some clothes of her own and slump into bed. Feeling more than extremely disheartened at the lack of activities.

Crawling into bed, the night sadly continued just like any other from then on.

...

"So, what's stopping you now?" Yuzu gave an impish grin as she came to her knees and after rolling Mei onto her back, straddled her upper thighs.

Mei cocked her eyebrow in challenge. Pushing back to see if Yuzu would go through with anything.

Yuzu accepted the offer without hesitation, her hands finding and interlocking with Mei's as she brought them to either side of the girls head.

A blush from Mei told Yuzu to continue.

Leaning down as blonde hair formed a curtain around them, Yuzu brought her lips to plant a kiss to Mei's.

"GOOD MORNING GIR- Ahhh, ehh s-sorry!" The bedroom door flung open and in walked a cheery Ume, ready to wish the two girls a good morning and tell them breakfast was ready.

But the sight before her had her flushed with embarrassment as she saw Yuzu, her sweet innocent little girl, pinning Mei down into the mattress.

Stumbling over a reply as she quickly shut the door.

The two were frozen in place; Yuzu felt mortified, her cheeks stained red, her heart thumping in her chest. Her mother had just walked in on her.

"That's what's stopping me," Mei said cooly, her voice bringing Yuzu out of her trance as she looked down to Mei with disbelief. Was that really all she had to say.

Giving a gentle tap to Yuzu's legs after freeing her arms, Mei waited for her girlfriend to slip off her so she could get dressed.

Being first to leave the bedroom as Mei had left Yuzu still scrambled on the bed, Mei greeted her mother and father in the kitchen.

"Good morning Mother, Father." Turning solely to Ume, Mei continued.

"I am sorry you had to see that, it won't happen again," Mei bowed, her cheeks with more than a minor flush as she apologized.

"Nonsense, you are both fully grown women that sort of thing is normal. I should have knocked. I was just too excited having you two back for breakfast, so you don't have to apologise." Ume waved her hand to Mei, dismissing the matter.

Before Shou could even question what the two were discussing, his wife shot him a look that clearly told him 'It's none of your business', leaving him silent at the table.

"M-Mama?" Yuzu mumbled as she followed behind Mei into the room, a blush bigger than Russia spread over her cheeks, going as far as her neck.

"W-We weren't doing anything, I-I promise," Bowing a little before she tried to meet her mother's gaze and her eyes widened when she saw that Ume was only smiling softly to her.

"Don't worry about it dear, forget I saw anything at all. I've made pancakes for breakfast, so let's all sit down and enjoy them while they are still hot. Okay?" Ume said warmly as she tried to comfort her daughter, letting her know that although she had just seen something she had never wanted to, she knew it was normal and it was her fault for just walking in.

Yuzu seemed to perk up at the comment and smiled brightly before taking her seat at the table, being sure to pull Mei's chair out first.
