Something About A Book
"Rei?" The girl in question was propped up with her legs crossed and Mina's head on her lap. She laid on her bed enjoying a new manga that was just released yesterday disregarding any distractions currently ruining her peace. Mina had shown up uninvited as usual and made herself comfortable on Rei's bed and in turn, on Rei. She had been asking the poor girl questions since are arrived. Always receiving the same answer in the same exasperated tone.
"Yes Mina." Rei kept reading. Mina had asked Rei a question just a few seconds ago however the girl hadn't responded as promptly as Mina would have liked so she had to prompt Rei again.
"Do you think plants have feelings?"
"Yes Mina." Rei kept reading. Mina knew it was a stupid question but she had to start somewhere. She couldn't afford for Rei to lose even more interest in the game she was playing
"Do you think things only exist when we see them?"
"Yes, Mina." Rei kept reading. Any other day Rei would have loved to continue that conversation. Mina was glad today was not any other day.
"Is the probability I pass my exam high?"
"Yes Mina." Re kept reading. Mina was surprised Rei knew she had actually been studying hard. Or Rei was truly just completely zoned out.
"Do you think Usagi and Mamoru will always be together?"
"Yes Mina." Rei kept reading. The answer to that question was obvious. It was time to stop holding back and get down to business.
"Did you think I could ever be with Mamo?"
"Yes Mina." Rei kept reading. But, Mina knew she was getting close. She and Mamoru would never work out.
"Can I stay over tonight?"
"Yes Mina." Rei kept reading. Mina allowed a small smile to grace her features knowing Rei couldn't see it. She finally had Rei exactly where she wanted her. Rei would never just give in to giving up her peaceful night that easily.
"Do you think that we'll be friends forever?"
"Yes Mina." Rei kept reading. She didn't notice Mina's voice deepen.
"Say it, I want to know you're listening."
"We'll be friends forever Mina." Rei kept reading. The smile on Mina's face doubled in size.
"Is it possible we'll ever stop being friends?"
"Yes Mina." Rei kept reading. She didn't notice Mina sit up and take in every inch of her perfect features of her face.
"I thought that too but, lovers can be friends too right? Do you love me Rei?"
"Yes Mina." Rei kept reading. Mina silently congratulated herself on her tactful effort. However she wasn't done quite yet.
"Say it."
"I love you Mi-" Rei stopped reading. She dropped her book onto her lap losing the page. She looked up to meet Mina's eye hovering just above her. She looked down to watch her hands attempt to wring each other out. She blushed until her face felt hotter than fire. But most importantly, she melted into Mina's touch and responded to the kiss with equal passion until she pulled away gasping for breath.
"I love you too Rei."
Rei did not continue reading for the rest of the night.
