Summary: Nico wakes up alone in bed and goes in search of her wife, seeing her asleep on the couch and with a very interesting piece of paper with lyrics next to her.
Nico/Maki

Nico x Maki - Your song

Nico feels the chilly breeze of the night hitting her bare flesh, making her move restlessly in dreams before she ends waking up due the cool sensation, noticing the spot next to her in bed completely empty and cold.

With a heavy and exasperated sigh, she gets out of bed to go in search of her wife, damning Maki's love for work even if that means to sacrifice her time to sleep and being cuddled up by her lovely and wonderful wife.

She wraps her robe tighter around her tiny body to shield herself from the cold and goes downstairs, seeing the living room bathed in light and no evident signs of Maki's laptop for work as it's usually there whenever Maki choose to work instead of sleep.

Strange…

Nico thinks to herself as she notices the slumped figure of her wife sleeping against the couch with her red hair scattered over its surface, her mouth half-open and her hand over the table, grabbing loosely a pen. Next to her hand lies a piece of paper, written in elegant handwriting and some occasional crossings out that could be seen in it.

Nico can't help but laugh at such sight in front of her and slowly approaches to her wife, feigning to be angry and ready to scold Maki for leaving her cold and alone in the middle of the night, choosing work over her when said piece of paper grabs her attention.

It's not the usual piece of paper written with treatments for her patients, filled with numbers and complex scientific formulas or words that she can't even try to understand and usually sees whenever Maki falls asleep after have worked on them, no, it's a sheet of paper with lyrics for a new song, presumably for her.

Touched by it, Nico starts to read it out of curiosity while carefully, she tries to lean back in between Maki's arms, not wanting to wake her up but just feel her close, feeling a little vulnerable.

Maki wakes up groggily after sensing another body pressed against hers and slips her arms around Nico's waist, bringing her closer to her to feel her warmth while breathing in her sweet aroma, resting her head over Nico's shoulder.

- That's mine, you little sneaky – Maki says sleepily but leaving a sloppy kiss on Nico's shoulder who jumps startled and squeals in surprise, letting the sheet of paper fall.

- Do you want to give me a heart attack idiot? – Nico complains dramatically with a hand placed over her heart, making Maki smile tiredly at her antics and squeeze her tighter against her body.

- Never… So, what do you think of it? – Maki asks her unfazed by her outburst, nuzzling her neck and Nico just sighs, placing a hand over Maki's arms around her waist, caressing it while bringing the sheet of paper back up.

- What were you thinking in when you wrote it? – Nico asks her softly without looking up from the piece of paper in front of her, clearly evading Maki's question.

- In you – Maki says quite calmly and honestly, maybe still a little too sleepy to realize of it and of Nico's red's face.

- Idiot tomato – Nico murmurs completely embarrassed and gives Maki's hands a little squeeze before standing up, hiding her blush from her wife then pulls Maki up – Let's go to bed.

- Mmmh – Maki complains groggily while she lets Nico drag her back to their room and warm bed to snuggle and sleep peacefully with her adored wife.
