Sunlight crept through the window blinds, and into the darkened bedroom. Two feminine bodies laid in a peaceful slumber as the day came into full-swing. The light that was cast on the bed tip-toed over the covers as time passed, finally crawling over the face of the smaller, blonde-haired maiden.
As the light disturbed the girl, she awoke with lazy hesitation, holding up her hand to keep from going blind. With open eyes, she observed her surroundings, until a realization hit her. She quickly sat up with a look of worry on her face.
"'Talya, wake up! What day is it?" she asked, almost panicking.
"Calm down, Lili. It's Sunday." Natalya stated with a hint of grog in her voice. She didn't exactly hate mornings, she just disliked them.
"Oh." Lili guiltily sighed. Vash was always concerned with Lili's grades, and Lili never wanted to disappoint her brother by being late for school. Lili laid back down next to her lover, cuddling close for warmth.
"Sorry for disturbing you." she apologized.
Natalya gave a reassuring kiss to Lili's forehead. "It's okay."
The two laid in a content embrace, sneaking a few kisses and toying with each other's hair, as Natalya thought of the question she so desperately needed to ask.
"Have you told Vash about us yet?"
Lili let out a heavy sigh before she answered with a worried "No."
"How come?
"I..." Lili began. "I'm afraid, because I don't know what he would think. How he would feel about us. And...I just, I love you, but I don't wanna lose my brother."
Lili looked as if she was on the verge of tears, making Natalya pull her girlfriend into a comforting embrace.
Natalya knew precisely what Lili was going through. Similar thoughts weighed on her mind when she came out to her own brother. Though fortunately for her, Ivan was more relieved with the news than anything else.
"I should tell him today." Lili said.
"If you think you're ready." Natalya said, reassuring the younger girl.
"Um, 'Talya?" she asked, looking up to her elder lover. "Could you be there with me...when I tell Vash?"
"Of course."
While Lili was happy with Natalya's answer, she still felt a little guilty for being so morose in the morning. She wanted to say something, anything to lighten the the mood.
"Last night was wonderful."
Natalya smiled. It was rare, even for her own family, to see her smile. It seemed as if Lili was the only person in the world who could put a smile on Natalya's face.
"It was." she responded, bringing Lili in for another kiss.
Since they didn't need to worry about being anywhere else, they stayed in bed, resting and cuddling, for the rest of their peaceful morning.
