Author's note: The way Riko has to make coffee is the same as Miyako in the anime.
The art of coffee
As soon as Riko enters at home after a long day of work, she's received by a warm and cozy feeling and then, by the sight of Miyako sleeping on the couch with her hand grabbing tightly the tv remote while a tiny drool peeks out her mouth.
Riko giggles quietly at it and gets close to her on tiptoes, trying to not make any sound so she doesn't disturb her in her sleep.
Riko pushes some rebel locks aside from her girlfriend's face and carefully wipes off the drool of Miyako's mouth with the hem of her own shirt, giggling at it the entire time before she stops to contemplate and caress Miyako's cheek, kissing and poking it playfully but still gently.
- Wake up – she whispers softly with a tender smile upon her face that widens as she witnesses Miyako's awakening.
- Uh? Riko? Aaaah, I fell asleep – Miyako says groggily, still yawning and rubbing her eyes under Riko's caring gaze.
- It's okay – Riko tells her tenderly while caressing her cheek more – Hard day at work?
Miyako smiles at her sleepily and holds Riko by the waist, pulling her into her lap to kiss her and rests their foreheads together.
- More like a tiring day – Miyako says chucking, making Riko poke her cheek again in a playful way but not completely amused because she knows how stubborn Miyako can be not wanting to worry her about work, especially in days like this one, full of customers asking for the special beverage she has just created and that is having such well reception.
- Do you want something to drink while you tell me about it? – Riko asks her softly, playing with Miyako's hair, making the latter smile softly at it and pull her in another sweet kiss.
- It's okay, I'll make it, just change into something more comfortable – Miyako says softly as a tired yawn escapes her lips.
Even though Miyako is trying to be gentle with her, Riko dislikes the way she always pushes herself when she's clearly so tired.
- Don't. I'll make it – Riko demands her, pressing a hand against her chest to prevent her from moving.
Miyako just sighs and hugs her waist, kissing her cheek gratefully.
- Fine, fine, all yours then – Miyako says resigned.
With a satisfied smile on her face and a playful peck on Miyako's lips, Riko gets up from her lap to go to the kitchen and grab her girlfriend's favorite type of coffee, all under Miyako's intense and attentive gaze.
She's pouring the coffee beans into the glass coffee jug while the water boils when she feels a pair of arms surrounding her waist, making her sigh lightly.
- Didn't I tell you to stay on the couch? – Riko says with a soft smile on her face while pouring more coffee beans into the coffee jug.
- I have to make sure you don't get burnt, haven't I? – Miyako says with a playful grin on her face that makes Riko roll her eyes.
- I'm perfectly capable of making coffee, thank you eh.
- I didn't say you weren't – Miyako quickly retorts, laughing as Riko huffs in despair.
- Silly – Riko mutters softly under her breath.
Miyako's arms never leave Riko's waist as she places the coffee jug over the boiled water and waits for it to get made, instead, her arms wrap Riko tighter and squeeze her against her body while her mouth starts to leave a trail of kisses down her neck, nuzzling it until she finds Riko's uncovered shoulder and bites it softly.
- Mmmh, Miya stop – Riko says, biting her lip but contradicting herself as she gives Miyako more access to keep peppering her shoulder with more kisses and nibbles.
The hold on her waist tightens and soon, she finds herself pressed against the kitchen's cabinet.
- Mmmh, nope – Miyako whispers huskily in her ear while her hands sneak under Riko's shirt to caress the smooth skin of her stomach and her mouth takes possession of her neck, sucking it hard before ending leaving light marks that will be tedious for Riko to cover up with make-up next day.
Riko turns around with a light scowl on her face, ready to scold Miyako but her scolding is soon forgotten as Miyako crashes her lips into hers, stealing a hungry kiss from her.
Soon, a battle of tongues and hands roaming over each other's bodies' unleashes, yet before it develops into something further, a strange smell starts to fill the air, obliging them to stop while panting hard.
- Looks like the coffee is finally done – Miyako says teasingly, gaining a light groan and shove from Riko and immediately pours some coffee into mugs.
Miyako is the first one tasting it and grimacing at its flavor.
- Ew, it's bitter, way bitter and it's… burnt. I knew I couldn't leave you by yourself making it – she says in feigned disapproval while sticking out her tongue at Riko in a playful way, not caring at all about her favorite type of coffee being wasted like that.
- Oh my god, it's totally your fault! – Riko exclaims exasperated which only makes Miyako laugh harder before she puts the mug back at the countertop to grab Riko by her waist, pulling her closer to peck her lips.
- You should make it up to me, you know? – she says with a smug smirk on her face which infuriates and makes Riko equally blush.
- Sorry, okay? I'll buy you a new one – Riko sighs, shutting her eyes for a brief moment before caressing her girlfriend's collarbone while Miyako pulls her closer, making her avert her eyes embarrassed, nervous even.
Miyako grins at Riko's shyness and nervousness even after being together for so many years, still finding it inevitably cute and endearing and gets closer to her face, grabbing softly her chin to oblige her to look at her in the eyes.
- I didn't meant it in that way – Miyako purrs lowly against her lips, loving the hard blush that takes over Riko's features.
- Then how? – Riko purrs back at her in a flirty way, closing more the distance between them with a playful smile on her face, one she knows Miyako absolutely loves and is crazy about, making her smile grow into a grin at remembering its effect.
Soon, the distance between them disappears as Miyako captures Riko's lips with hers, allowing her to taste the bitter taste of the coffee she just made. Miyako gets carried away, letting her hands roam freely over Riko's sides while Riko places her hands over Miyako's chest, slightly pushing her away to catch her breath.
- I think I know of a better way to make it up to you then – Riko purrs seductively against her girlfriend's lips, gripping her shirt in between her fists while a knowing and mischievous grin appears on their faces and she ends dragging Miyako to their bedroom, closing the door behind them to make it up for her properly.
