Connections
Chapter 2
"So...uhmm...w-which side of the bed do you want Miyuki-sama?" Tamao stuttered nervously fidgeting with the hem of her tiny satin night dress.
"Oh, it doesn't matter to me. Either is fine..." The short haired bluenette was just as nervous as the younger girl. Even though neither of them had reason to be. There was an undeniable tension in the room between the two girls. Both stared at the floor and refused to look each other in the eye. Tamao had known President Miyuki since grade school and had a plainly obvious crush on the slender, sophisticated, short haired girl. Okay...Im just going to go for it. Screw boundaries. If Im going to be sleeping with her for the next three days, Im going to have to have some action out of it.
Tamao was slightly more "out there" than some of the others. So she wasted no time in inching closer to the quiet Miyuki. Just as she was doing this, the entire room went black. They could hear the shrill, high pitched shriek or Tsubomi down the hall. They ran out into the hallway and crashed right into Amane and Hikari. Apparently no one had noticed the massive torrential downpour happening right outside their windows. The four raced down the hall to Yaya and Tsubomi's room.
After everyone managed to make their way down the stairs to the spacious and comfortable living room, everyone claimed their spaces on couches, chairs, and the floor. Amane had Hikari curled up in her lap in a massive armchair, a very tired Shizuma had her head resting in an equally sleepy Nagisa's lap, while Miyuki and Tamao sat avoiding eye contact, once again, on a long leather couch. In the corner of the big oddly shaped room, by the window, Yaya stood watching the rain.
Tsubomi, realizing her opportunity, slipped over to where the noir haired girl stood in silence. Standing a few feet away, she looked up at Yaya quickly, then her eyes darted away when she noticed the older girl staring at her. Yaya smirked and stepped over to Tsubomi, who shivered when Yaya's warm hands gripped her from behind. But it wasn't in her usual aggressive way. This was sweet and gentle, like she was afraid she was going to break her.
"Y-Yaya-sempai...?" Tsubomi was dumbfounded. In the time she had known Yaya, she had always been teasing, aggressive, and playful. But never real. Never serious. Never so...careful. She felt a small pang of hope somewhere deep in her. Even though she knew it wouldn't last long.
"Shhhh...It's okay.." And that's all Yaya said. She gently rested her chin on Tsubomi's shoulder. The younger girl began to relax a bit and even moved her hands up to Yaya's arms and held them there. The two remained like that for a while.
Shizuma sat up from her position on the floor. "Come on Nagisa. It's far too late for you to be out here. Besides...we need our sleep." She gave a suggestive wink to her yawning, uncaring, red head. She grasped her wrist and helped her to her feet, and led her to their room down the hall.
Hikari had long since fallen asleep in Amane's arms. Spica's prince was already on her way upstairs carrying her beloved princess who was happily snoozing in her arms. She had her petite arms wrapped tenderly around the tall girl's neck and her head resting against her chest. They were, indeed, a fairytale pair.
Miyuki and Tamao had decided to go up to bed as well. The two blunettes headed upstairs together, the awkward silence still lingering. Once they made it to their room, both reached for the doorknob at once, causing their fingers to graze each other. The redness immediately leapt to their faces as they snatched their hands back.
The two awkward teenagers were finally able to make it into the bedroom and into bed. They stayed as far away from each other as they possibly could without falling off the edge. All of the sudden both girls jumped ten feet in the air and scrambled together as an extremely obnoxious crack of thunder filled the house. Once again, they heard the scream of a certain pinkette downstairs.
The two realized the position they were in all at once. Tamao had her head ducked underneath the Miator Student Council President's chin and her arms wrapped tightly around the older girl's shoulder's. Miyuki had the trembling girl cradled awkwardly and somewhat protectively within her own arms.
They began to separate when another, even louder thunder crack made the bed shake. Again, they clung to each other, unknowingly. But this time, they were closer. Each held the other tighter, whether on purpose or not. The two decided to stay like this, due to the continuous booms of thunder echoing in their ears, and fell asleep together.
Yaya walked the shaking Tsubomi up the stairs to their room with one arm resting around her neck and the pinkette's head nestled deep in her shoulder. Heh...If Tsubomi-chan wasn't so scared she would be mortified at this sight...
The two made it to their door just as another loud boom shook the foundation. Tsubomi whimpered slightly and threw her arms around Yaya's ribs and squeezed as tight as she could. The noir haired girl effortlessly lifted the shivering girl off the ground and into their room, kicking the door shut as she passed through. She then carried her across the room to the inviting double bed in the corner. Yaya adjusted the two of them under the thick blankets Shizuma had sent to the room.
Suddenly, the room was lit up by a blinding flash of lightening. Knowing what was coming next, Tsubomi squirmed to get impossibly closer to Yaya, wrapping her right leg around the girl and slamming her head against her generous chest.
At this, Yaya chuckled softly. "Tsubomi-chan. It's just a little rain. It cant hurt you. I wont let it, I promise. Im right here." Tsubomi squeaked in response and the older girl sighed. She kissed the top of the pinkette's head and wrapped her arms protectively around her waist.
Tsubomi was happy to be where she was, even if she was scared of the storm. The all too familiar blush leapt back to her cheeks as she felt Yaya's warm fingers (which happened to be under her night shirt) sliding over the side of her stomach, giving her chills. The hand stopped at the small of her back where it pulled her closer, nearly on top of her bedmate. But it didn't escalate past that. The soft fingers simply resulted to stroking up and down Tsubomi's spine, lulling her to sleep. She enjoyed the feeling of Yaya's fingers on her skin. The sensation of her breathing, causing Tsubomi's head to rise and fall along with Yaya's chest with every breath.
But Tsubomi wasn't the only one getting something out of this. Yaya could barely contain herself every time the little pinkette's cool breath hit the skin on her neck. She loved the tickle of Tsubomi's fingers fidgeting with the lace of her black, silk night dress.
The two Spicans were content. Even though Tsubomi flinched at every thunder crack...
Miyuki woke up with a weight on her chest. She groggily opened her eyes to see a sleeping, and quite adorable, Tamao. She felt unusual about the sight but brushed it off. Tamao whimpered a bit in her sleep, causing Miyuki to crack a half smile. She did notice that it was slightly darker than a usual morning. The short haired Student Council President gently shifted the sleeping girl off of herself and crept over to the window. And what she saw frightened her, in the least. The only audible sound was the quiet intake of breath from the girl at the window.
