"W-wha?!"
Turning around, Eri looked towards the sudden sound. Though when she looked there was no one behind her, getting confused Eri looked to the floor, raising an eyebrow once she spotted her red-headed junior on the ground. walking over to the pianist, extending her hand to help her younger friend up "You okay?" she asked.
Maki blushed, quickly standing up. Eri recoiled her hand and gave her red-headed friend a smile this girl can be so clumsy shaking her head, Eri simply shrugged off and enjoyed the little rare scene where Maki's stoic exposure would crumble and she would show a moment of weakness.
Neither girl said a word, making the room thick with tension. Eri rubbed the back of her head awkwardly, while Maki simply twirled a strand of red hear between her fingers. "So, good work today" Eri said, giving her friend a smile.
"Of course" Maki simply stated, earning a deadpanned expression from the blonde. "Though.." the red-head started, stretching her arm "Umi definitely knows how to tire someone out" Maki said, sighing when her arm relaxed after the stretch.
Eri grinned taking the words Maki had just said and turning the meaning into something else entirely. "Well, of course she does" Eri stated, crossing her arms over her chest.
Maki raised her eye brow at the tone from the blonde. Shrugging it off, she went back to paying attention to her red hair.
Eri pouted at having been completely shrugged off. Walking over to the younger girl, Eri poked the girl in the cheek, grinning when the pianists skin turned crimson.
"E-E-Eri!" the younger girl whined, covering her cheeks with both her hands and pouting. Eri grinned and continued to poke the adorable first year.
Wrapping her arms around the red heads neck, Eri nuzzled against the slightly irritated girls cheeks "Gah! your just so damn cute" the blonde yelled, making steam arise from the younger girls head.
Trying to push against the older girls tight embrace, Maki squirmed uncomfortably under the sudden closeness. "Eri! get oooooff" the red-head yelled, pushing against the older girls face.
Eri finally released the younger girl. "Alright, alright" she said, chuckling. Maki continued to pout, her eyebrow twitching from annoyance.
Eri smirked and instead, wrapped her arms around the younger girls waist, bringing her into an embrace she knew Maki loved. Everyone knew that Eri was one of the best people to go to for a comforting hug and she would always be there to give you one.
Maki smiled into the blondes shoulder, closing her eyes as she allowed Eri's gentle aura to calm her senses.
Breaking apart, Eri smiled as she leaned in to kiss the top of Maki's head, bringing along the blush with it. The blonde couldn't help but laugh at the adorable expression from the younger girl.
Just when the two were going to return to the little squabble, the door opened making the two girls look at it before any words escaped.
Walking through the door was in fact Umi. She still had her school uniform on and was cradling her chest, shivering from the cold weather outside.
"Umi?" the other two girls said in unison, looking at each other afterwards. Umi gave the pair a small smile, though ended up sneezing after wards.
"Excuse me" she said to herself after the loud sneeze. Eri sighed and walked over to the younger girl, taking off the girls coat since Umi still had her hands wrapped around her chest.
Once the coat was off, Eri noticed that something was moving within the blue haired girls blazer. Taking a step back, Eri's eyes widened slightly. Just when she was about to say something, a little fuzzy head poked its way atop of the archers blazer, nuzzling against Umi's neck.
Maki moved closer to inspect the small object, leaning in close. After a few more sniffles, Umi explained the situation "I found it in a cardboard box" she said, slowly unraveling her arms and showing the tiny bundle of fur.
"A puppy?" Maki asked, reaching in out and touching its head gently. In response a tiny pink tongue made contact with the pianists hand.
Umi smiled at the scene, walking into the bathroom to fetch a towel. Eri and Maki looked at each other before looking back towards the bathroom.
Walking back out, Umi had managed to wrap the small grey furred pup in a white fluffy towel. "Was it on its own?" Eri asked, walking over to the archer and looking at the pup.
Umi nodded, looking at the blonde like a small child that has just found the most mesmerizing thing in the world, no not Eri even though Umi definitely thinks the blonde is mesmerizing. Eri sighed, she knew that she wouldn't be able to say no to Umi.
Maki walked over to the other two and stared at the small puppy "what's his name?" she asked, not breaking her gaze of the small fuzz ball.
Umi shrugged "I was thinking that you two decide that" she said, gently handing the puppy over to Eri and walking into the kitchen. The two girls carried on to stare at the tiny pup, Eri smiled as she started to slowly and gently bounce the puppy up and down like you would do with a baby.
Walking back from the kitchen, Umi raised the cup to her lips. Her cold nimble fingers warming up to the touch. Looking at the other two girls, a warm smile spread against her lips.
Sitting down on the sofa, Umi snuggled into the warm cushion. Eri and Maki followed shortly, Eri placing the puppy onto her lap. Umi opened an eye and smiled once again "so have you thought of any names?" she asked, leaning all the way back.
Maki leaned in closer, resting her head against the archer. The small puppy tried to walk around between the three girls, tripping and stumbling with every tiny step. "Hmm I wonder what we could call him?" Eri said out loud.
Maki also gave it some thought, her nose crinkling with thought. "How about Arashi (storm)?" Maki wondered. The thought came to her because of the pups fur color.
Eri smiled and nodded, looking at Umi who smiled thoughtfully at the name. Picking the small pup up, Eri raised it up to her face "hear that little guy your name will be Arashi" she said in a baby voice. In response the little pup gave a little squeak and licked the tip of the blondes nose.
Umi smiled and closed her eyes in relaxation, after all she had just slowly made her way through a blizzard she deserved a rest at least.
While Umi was dozing off, both Eri and Maki continued to play with the pup. "What are we going to feed it?" Maki asked.
"Him" Eri corrected and then gave some thought at the younger girls question. "Hmm well we can't feed him ordinary milk, so...hopefully he will be alright for the night and we will take him to the vets first thing in the morning" she responded maturely.
Maki nodded and continued to stroke the now sleeping pup. Looking back to the other girl, who had remained quite through the whole conversation. Maki smiled when she saw Umi, asleep on the couch. Reaching over, Maki grabbed a nearby blanket and draped it over the sleeping archer.
Looking at the time, Eri decided that all three...or well four of them should go to bed. Handing the puppy over to Maki, Eri started to gently shake the sleeping girl But when she made no sign of awakening, the blonde decided to turn it up a notch.
Grinning, Eri leaned down and gave a quick peck on the blue haired girls lips. Her grin widening when Umi's eyes opened and she started to stir. "Hello sleepy head" Eri called calmly, gently cupping the archers head.
Umi sleepily wiped the sleep from her eyes, makingEri gape at the cute scene. Reaching out, the blonde took Umi's hand within hers and steadily helped the girl up.
Eri gently dragged the archer into the bedroom, only to find Maki already under the covers with Arashi. Eri smiled as she got into her own change of pajamas and followed Maki under the covers. The pup between both their bodies.
Umi, still half asleep didn't bother to change and instead took her skirt and blazer off and crawled under the covers.
Both Eri and Maki smiling at each other before dozing off themselves.
Well here goes some new adventures with little Arashi.
