7:30 a.m.
The alarm rang loudly throughout the entire bedroom; the figures moved annoyingly trying their best to muffle out any sound related to the alarm. A hand shot out from beneath the covers and patted her surroundings to shut the obnoxious ringing. Her hand manages to blindly slam the button down before retracting back into the blankets.
"Why do you have an alarm set during Sunday, Kumiko?" The other sleeping figure rolled her closer for warmth, snuggling close to Kumiko, entangled their legs together whiling wrapping both of them in layers of blanket.
"I don't know." Kumiko groaned, emerging herself under the covers and sat up, rubbing her eyes tiredly and gave her arms a stretch to ease out her muscles. Why was the alarm even on? Staring blankly ahead at her wall then at her alarm she gave a tired yawn. Until a hand pulled her back from the cool outside air and back into the blankets warmth.
"It's still early." The voice croaked in the mist of being dragged from her dreams with a rude awakening. "Stay in bed longer." The person wrapped her arms around Kumiko's neck, locking her in place. Her soft breathing hit Kumiko's neck unconsciously. At that point Kumiko was already out of her sleepy state, but her bedmate was quick to slip back into her peaceful dreams.
Kumiko ran her hand through the messy locks of hair and grinned at her sleepy neighbor. Running down the silky locks then back, repeating the process several times. Her gazed dropped to the luscious lips presented before her and gave it a small peck, resulting a smile from the other girl but nothing more; her eyes then shifted to her alarm reading 7:41. "We should get up before my sister walks in on us." The grip tightened. "Reina…"
"Hmm…" Reina tiredly peek one eye open, "It's still early, Kumiko. Let me sleep for a while longer." Kumiko sighed unable to do anything about Reina's sleepy voice, she never could, but she didn't really mind either.
"Fine, 10 more minutes." Kumiko pulled Reina closer, wrapping her arms around her back with a light squeeze. Even without looking, Kumiko could tell Reina was secretly grinning; she always won in the end.
Reina turned grip faltered and turned a little away from Kumiko. Her breathing slowed and soon drifted back in slumber. In awe, Kumiko stared at the sleeping figure once more, before closing her eyes from another few minutes of sleep. It couldn't hurt.
7:45 a.m.
There was a loud, heavy knock against the opposite side of her door followed with a voice. "Kumiko, are you awake yet?" The voice stirred Reina in her sleep, but not enough to awake her. Kumiko, on the other hand separated her body from Reina's and side out the bed in record speed, upon hearing the knock.
Her sister's head peeked in while Kumiko stood awkwardly there at the side of her bed busying herself with smoothing out her messy bed hair. "I'm leaving now; mom made breakfast and left it on the table before leaving. Remember to clean up after yourself."
"O-okay."
The door closed with a light click and Kumiko waited until the footsteps trailed further away from her room until it reached the front door. Kumiko sighed in relief, another second later she would have to suffer another interrogating from her sister. Her mind drifted back to the unpleasant memory. Her sister questioned her for three whole days straight after catching her with Reina, snuggling closely together. She was going to have to tell her family one day, but now was defiantly not the time.
Kumiko's eyes shifted back to the sleeping beauty in bed. Reina was a heavy sleeper, she was getting used to it every time they had a sleepover but it was essentially really a difficult task to wake the girl up. And the girl wasn't quite a morning person.
Kumiko moved closer to the edge of her bed and lean in close till her lips were just centimeters away from Reina's ears. "Reina…" She whispered first, amused at how Reina shivered slightly but didn't move away. Waiting several seconds she continued, only this time in a louder voice. "How long do you plan on sleeping?"
Reina tossed and turned for a bit, trying her best to stretch out her sleepy hangover, with a groan she sat up. Her hair messily falling down her shoulders, bringing her palms to her eyes, she gently rubbed on them. She dropped her hands to her side and Kumiko quickly moved in giving her lips a peck.
Reina's face flushed lightly, fingers bringing themselves back up to touch her lips. Kumiko grinned at the sight. The morning was always her hated yet most favorite part of their sleepover. The night was always better but she was always rewarded with such a pleasant sight every morning.
"You're cheating…" Reina's voice came out quietly; Kumiko gave a confused raise of her eyebrows. Her arms wrapped around Kumiko's neck pulling her in, burying her face into Kumiko's neck. Reina whispered against Kumiko's ears, "Can you hear my heartbeat?"
Kumiko closed her eyes and focused on the thumping of each beat. The rhythm was defiantly quicker and a smile played at her lips, because it was only for her and because of her alone. Reina pulled away only for her to tilt her head and close the distance between their lips once more. This time their kiss lasted longer than a peck. Her hands ran up and down Kumiko's back, hugging her close. They lasted till, Kumiko's lungs burned for air and she reluctantly pulled away, panting.
"W-ho's cheating now?" Kumiko's breath ragged, trying to regain some oxygen. Reina gave a playful smile then dropped her body tiredly onto Kumiko's bed once more.
"You can't call that cheating." Reina gave a small yawn. "I can never get enough sleep at your place."
"Maybe we should stay at your place next time."
"Then I guess we're never leaving the bed."
Kumiko shook her head the smile never leaving her face. She observed the futon beneath her feet then back at Reina. It was always laid there for show. "Remind me why we constantly lay out the futon but no one ever sleeps on it?"
Reina sat up and shrugs; her lifts her body up from the bed and starts organizing Kumiko's sheets and blanket. "You're the one sleeping on it last night," She pauses to soothe out the sheets and place the blanket over it. "Did you have trouble sleeping without me?"
"Says the one who insist I sleep next to her." Kumiko laughs, stepping off the futon; she got on her knees to fold it up. Reina followed her after she completed making the bed. Kumiko pushes the now folded futon to the side and got on her feet with her hands on her hips.
"Do you have anything plan for today?" Reina sat back onto the bed, careful trying not to ruin the perfectly smoothed out bed. Kumiko placed a finger under her chin and hummed thoughtfully.
"Not really, but…" Kumiko's hand reached for her stomach, "Let's have breakfast first." Her hands reached out and grabbed ahold of Reina's before dragging her to the bathroom to freshen up.
"Wait Kumiko…" Reina stopped suddenly making Kumiko turn to question her actions. Her breath was stolen away with a light heart fluttering kiss. After a few seconds Reina pulled away with a smile. "Good morning.
Kumiko returned the smile and pulled Reina into a tight hug, partly to hide her flustered expression, but also out of unable to contain her emotions. Quietly she whispered, "Morning."
