Mei opened the door to her room with an exhausted sigh. Being the president of the student council was becoming more draining as the year progressed. Although the job was gratifying, deep in Mei there was a reluctance to exert any effort toward work. She'd been staying at the school for longer hours than ever before. Aside from that being completely inconvenient for her study schedule, Mei was also missing something else.
Yuzu lay sprawled across the bed. Her limbs were flung in careless directions. They strategically blocked Mei from resting fully onto the mattress. Mei sat warily on a miniscule patch surrounded by an arm and leg of the snoring elder sister. She suddenly turned in her slumber, swinging her arm toward Mei's butt. Did Mei imagine a ghost of a smile flit across Yuzu's face? Gritting her teeth, Mei took the liberty of moving the appendage to one side of the bed. She fell back into the bed with a small pomf. It quivered slightly from the force. Mei glanced at Yuzu, worried that she'd awakened her sister. The blonde's lips had taken a definite curl.
Pausing, Mei pondered on the many ways there were to force Yuzu off of her side of the bed. She didn't particularly mind the warmth from her. It was quite comforting. Mei lightly rested one of her arms on Yuzu's chest and leaned her face into Yuzu's shoulder. She smiled contentedly. This was home for her. Mei whispered something quietly.
Yuzu turned toward Mei, almost squishing her under herself. She pulled Mei closer to her in a loose embrace.
"Can you say that a little louder?" she asked, meeting Mei's eyes.
Mei brushed a strand of hair out of Yuzu's face with a content look on her own. She placed a light kiss on her lips.
"I love you."
Yuzu giggled against Mei's lips, adding a murmur of her own. Mei blushed profusely and Yuzu leaned into the kiss. She intertwined her fingers with Mei's, pausing her mouth's work to kiss the back of Mei's hand. Mei rested her face against Yuzu's with a content sigh, occasionally running her thumb across the blonde's.
Mei was totally addicted to citrus.
