It's a cold morning out in the Kirishima household. Not that it's super cold, but on the chilly side since it's the middle of summer. The sun is partly shining through the clouds covering the blue sky and light winds were being lightly blown in the east. Many people of Tokyo were busy in the streets, either shopping or walking with their friends or family.
But one morning, 24-year-old Eris Shitogi, who is sleeping soundly in her lover's room, awoke with the sun shining brightly upon her. She then looks over to another girl who is sleeping next to her, also sleeping soundly. Lying next to her is her fiancé, Shizuku Kirishima, the girl she fell in love with back in third year when they were in St. Michael's Girl's Academy. And after 4 years of attending St. Michael's Junior College, they finally graduated and continue to date for the next few months.
Eris smiles at her lover, watching her sleep peacefully. "Shizuku," she whispers.
"Mm . . . Erisu . . ." The raven-haired girl mumbles as she shuffles for a bit. She then turns over to notice her girlfriend watching over her with lovestruck eyes.
"Good morning, Shizuku." She greets.
"G-good morning to you, too, Erisu."
"How did you sleep?"
"I slept fine, thanks. How about you, Erisu?"
Eris closes her eyes. "Well, I had a wonderful dream. It's about us, Shizuku. We were having a great life together, got married and possibly, had children of our own."
The raven-haired girl is at a loss for words as she is moved by this story. "Erisu . . ."
"Oh, what a good life we had in my dream. I wish we could make it happen, though."
"Well, it takes some time, Erisu. And someday . . . I would like to have a family, too."
"You think so?" Eris is surprised by Shizuku's words.
"Y-yes."
"SHIZUKUUUUUUUU~" Eris suddenly plunges onto her lover's chest, happy to hear such things from her.
"E-Erisu!" Taken aback by this sudden action, Shizuku backs away a little while blushing like crazy. "D-don't you know the meaning of personal space?"
"Hehe . . . I can't help it," Eris teases as she wraps her arms around Shizuku once more. "Mmmmmm . . . How nice and warm you are."
"S-stop it, Erisu! I mean it!"
"I'm not letting you go, Shizuku. Hugging you like this makes me very happy."
Shizuku continues to blush while trying to hide it. How could she resist her? Looking down at her lover, she could tell that Eris is enjoying her moment in her chest.
"Hey, Shizuku?" Eris whispers.
"Yes, Erisu?"
"Do you love me?"
"Wh-what?" Shizuku is caught off guard by that question and began blushing again.
This time Eris sits up and caresses Shizuku's soft cheek. "I said do you love me?"
The black haired girl slightly turns her head away. " I-I do."
"Then, can you please say 'I love you'?"
"Uh . . ." This makes Shizuku blush even more and finds it much more difficult to express her true feelings.
"Please, Shizuku? For me?" Eris pleads.
"O-okay, I got it. Uh . . . I . . . I love you . . . Erisu."
"I can't hear you~!" Eris teases.
Shizuku lets out a heavy sigh. "Gosh, alright already! I love you, Erisu! Will that do!?"
"Hehe," Eris giggles. "I knew you had it in you somewhere." She lightly kisses her girlfriend on the cheek, "I love you, too, Shizuku." She then pulls away and decides to change the subject. "Say, do you still have the ring I gave you?"
Shizuku holds up her hand to show her as proof. "Yep. And it's still on my finger."
A few years ago Eris proposed to Shizuku when Shizuku 's parents were coming home. They didn't know about it until Eris greeted and told them about it. Soon after, they gladly accepted relationship and everything was okay. After the proposal, they decided to wait a few years or so to get married. Right now, they are just having fun being girlfriends.
"Hey, Shizuku," Eris whispers.
As Shizuku is about to say something, she gets interrupted with Eris planting her lips against hers. It is surprising at first, but Shizuku finally returns the warming kiss. It only lasted a few minutes before they parted lips to catch their breath and stare at each other.
"Shizuku . . ."
"Erisu . . ."
They continue to stare lovingly at each other until Eris speaks up.
"Shizuku?"
"Yes, Erisu?"
"Can you promise me something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
At that moment, Eris takes Shizuku's hands in her own, wearing serious expression. "Let's promise to stay together forever, now that we're engaged. Can you promise that?"
Shizuku smiles. "Of course, Erisu. We will definitely be together forever."
Eris caresses her cheek. "That's good. Because I only have eyes for you, you know?"
"Same here."
And so, the two share a warm, yet soothing kiss once again.
