Chapter 6
Wrong Gift…is the Right Gift?
Homura is on her way to Yuyaki's home, holding a perfectly wrapped present with a black ribbon tied on it. She has just enough money to buy her a gift to show her appreciation as her girlfriend. It may have taken weeks to get there, but it was all worth it. She can surprise her with this little present that she worked so hard for. In her mind, she sees an image of a happy Yuyaki, thanking her for the gift and will treasure it forever. Homura squeals happily to herself with that thought in mind.
By the time she reaches Yuyaki's home, she knocks a few times and waits for an answer. The door opens a few seconds later and Yuyaki pops her head out.
"Ah…Homura-san…come in~" The shy tanned girl gestures her hand toward inside and Homura lets herself in.
It is then that Yuyaki notices something in Homura's hand. "Homura-san…what's that?"
The cool tanned girl hands her the wrapped present. "This is for you, Yuyu-chan. You wanted a new nightgown right?"
Yuyaki tilts her head in confusion for a second before it hits her. "Ah…y-you saw…what I was reading…earlier?"
"I couldn't help but notice you were staring at the same page for more than 20 minutes," Homura explains. "I was wondering what page and when I looked, it was a lovely nightgown. I thought to myself, 'Maybe she wants that?' Then, when I went by a shop, I saw the exact same thing. So I worked my ass off to buy that for you."
"Oh, but…it's wasn't…my birthday or anything…" Yuyaki says.
"Why does it need to be anything?" the cool tanned girl chuckles.
"Eh…?"
"You never ask things from me nor want to buy anything for yourself. It's not any special day. Take this as…." Homura puts a hand on her girlfriend's shoulder. "A present from me to my adorable girlfriend…who always does her best with a smile on her face."
There is silence for a couple minutes. Yuyaki clutches the gift close to her chest and looks up at the cool tanned girl.
"Thank you…very much…Homura-san~" Yuyaki says with her gentle, cute smile. "I'm incredibly happy~!"
Homura blushes a bit from her enthusiasm, but smiles and pets her like a puppy. "I'm very glad…you like my gift." She pulls away and pumps a fist. "So…let's see you wear it~!"
"Eh!? R-right now?"
"Yeah! Let's go to your room and let's see what you look like~!" Homura says.
"O-okay..."
Both of the tanned girls walk to Yuyaki's room and the shy girl lets Homura know that she'll be changing in the bathroom now. She takes the gift and closes the door behind her. Homura sits on Yuyaki's bed and looks around the room while waiting patiently. She cannot wait to see the look on her girlfriend's face once she opens that door and reveals her outfit that she herself bought for her.
In the bathroom, Yuyaki has just shed her clothing and unwraps her gift. But then...color starts to disappear from her face as she sees what is in it. It's pretty much...revealing? Is this what Homura bought for her? She clearly remembers it being a "nightgown", but it's far too revealing to be one. However, Yuyaki cannot let her girlfriend down just because it's something else. She'll put it on for her sake.
Meanwhile Homura continues waiting until the door opens just a crack and Yuyaki pops her head out.
"Yuyu-chan?" Homura raises an eyebrow. "Why aren't you coming out?"
"Uhhh...ummm...well, uhhh...j-just to be sure..." Yuyaki stutters. "This IS the one you bought for me right?"
"Of course. So just come out of there and let me see."
"R-right...so..." Yuyaki reluctantly comes out and reveals herself wearing a white negligee with transparent cloth over her exposed stomach, and white panties underneath the cloth. "H-how is it?"
Homura stares blankly at the outfit. She definitely knows that's NOT the one she bought. That negligee is clearly something else. She was meant to buy her a white nightgown instead of that. Yuyaki takes notice of the blank stare and begins nervously fiddling with her fingers. It is then that realization hit Homura.
"Wait a minute..." she says to herself. "I know one person who could've done something like this…"
**Flashback**
"Going on a date with Yuyu-chan, I presume~?" Haruka cooed.
"I'm just going to her home, that's all!" Homura said as she dries up from bathing. "It's none of your business!"
"Ohhhhh, but we're friends, aren't we~?" the honey blonde said. "I won't bite~"
"Yeah...you will..." Homura dead panned. "Anyways, I'm going to change. Don't touch anything!"
Haruka just waved as Homura went out to put on her usual casual outfit. The mad scientist looked around and found a perfectly wrapped present next to her lamp. She rubbed her chin as she grins, looking back at Homura changing and then at the gift. She whipped out a small beaker with white liquid and put a teeny drop inside after carefully opening it just a little. The effects kicked in right away, making it glow faintly and then stopping. She casually walked away as Homura turned and walked over to her room.
**End of Flashback**
"Haruka must have done this!" Homura says. "Though, how the hell would she create a potion that would change clothing?"
"U-ummm...Homura-san...?" Yuyaki reaches a hand out to see if she's okay.
The cool tanned girl sighs and pats on the side, signaling her to sit down.
"Listen...Yuyu-chan, that's NOT the one I bought. Haruka must have done something to it with her usual chemistry and now look at this," Homura explains.
"Eh?" Yuyaki tilts her head in confusion.
"I'm so sorry, Yuyu-chan...if this isn't what you wanted then..."
Yuyaki gently takes Homura's hands in hers with a smile. "Don't be. I'm still…very happy...that you went out of your way...to do something for me. That was very...kind of you. It goes to show...you're the best girlfriend~"
"Yuyu-chan..."
"So tonight...I'm going to wear this~!" Yuyaki says. "And tomorrow night and the next night and the next~"
The cool tanned girl brightens and embraces her girlfriend tightly. "Yes! Thank you so much, Yuyu-chan! That makes me so happy!"
Yuyaki returns the embrace. Both of the tanned girls are happy no matter what, so it's all good. Yuyaki can wear that negligee as much as she wants for Homura's sake...because she put her heart out into buying something for her.
