Chapter 4

Sit on my Lap!

Like any other normal day, Yachiyo and Suzu walk together hand in hand with Aki walking right beside them. But the problem is that it's on a hot summer day. Yachiyo is waving a paper book, used as a fan, to cool herself off with Suzu doing the same. The pony-tailed girl looks over at her lover, who seems to be slowing down a bit due to all this heat.

"Are you okay, Suzu-chan?" Yachiyo asks. "Do you want to rest somewhere?"

"I'm fine," Suzu replies, but Yachiyo isn't too convinced.

Taking her hand, she gently pulls Suzu to a nearby tree as they sit in the shade with Aki following.

"So, you two are just going to rest here for now?" Aki asks.

"Look at Suzu-chan," Yachiyo says. "She looks like she's suffering from the intense heat."

"Suffering?" Aki raises an eyebrow in confusion.

Turning to her girlfriend, Yachiyo puts her hand on Suzu's shoulder and says, "Suzu-chan, why don't we rest here and you can rest on my lap!"

"H-huh!?" Suzu is not expecting Yachiyo to say that, but at the same time, is happy that the dog-like girl is offering something like that.

"And . . . why did you say that out of the blue?" Aki asks with an annoyed look on her face.

"Think about it!" Yachiyo says as she puts her hands on her cheeks with her pony-tail wagging. "Me and Suzu-chan in the shade and her sleeping on my lap will be the most adorable thing ever!" She even pictures her lover actually sleeping on her lap.

"That might be just your imagination, Inugami," Aki says. "Nekoyama wouldn't actually sleep on your-"

As if on cue, when the dark-haired girl turns her head, she noticed the dog like girl, beckoning the cat-like girl to come over and sleep on her lap in the shade.

"Come on, Suzu-chan!" Yachiyo encourages. "It won't hurt to sleep here even for a minute!"

Suzu blushes furiously as she looks down at the ground, fiddling with her fingers. "W-well, I, um . . ."

"Suzu-chan~!"

The cute giggle makes Suzu blush even more and takes a step closer to her lover. Aki's eyes widen as Suzu slowly gets on her knees, lays her head on Yachiyo's lap and closes her eyes while still having a blush on her face.

"Wow," Aki says to herself. "I didn't think this 'dog' would actually convince this 'cat' into sleeping next to her."

Yachiyo giggles again as Suzu looks up at her, eyes now facing the dog-like girl.

"Suzu-chan . . ."

"Yachiyo . . ."

The pony-tailed girl gently lifts up Suzu's head so that she can kiss her gently on the lips. Suzu quickly returns the favor and lies back down on Yachiyo's lap.

"Yachiyo," the cat-like girl whispers. "Pet me."

"Eh?"

"Pet me . . . please." There is a slight blush on Suzu's face, but is smiling at the same time.

Yachiyo smiles back as she gently strokes her lover's hair. "Of course, Suzu-chan. Is this place good?"

Suzu's cute purring tells Yachiyo that it's the perfect place to pet. She smiles as she continues to stroke Suzu's hair and the loud, yet gentle purring continues. Aki's surprised expression slowly turns into a smile and sits next to Yachiyo to join her.

"You know . . . you two can be a handful sometimes," Aki says. "But . . . both of you are also cute when you are affectionate with each other like that."

Yachiyo giggles as she looks up at her best friend. "I'm glad you see us like that, Aki-chan."

The dark-haired girl nods as she takes her turn to gently pet Suzu, in which she purrs at the gentle touch.

"And it seems that Suzu-chan likes your petting, too~!" Yachiyo says, cheerfully.

A/N: Ah, so sorry for not updating quickly! To make it up to all of you, I'm going to publish two chapters all at once. Sound good? The next one will be better. I promise. It's very, very hard to come up with different scenarios for this one shot series.
