27. Poolside ft YukAmo

**Fireworks are over already. Time to bust out the dranks. Happy 4th, y'all!**

**I don't own anything. **

"You're not getting in the pool, Nyamo?"

The woman shook her head, "I just wanna put my feet in." She said as she sat down on the poolside. The warm water came up to the middle of her calves.

Yukari shrugged, jumped in with the pool floaty she had found. Making lazy laps around the pool, she couldn't believe how relaxing this vacation was.

Chilling in the pool didn't last long though. The quiet was unnerving. She watched her partner, who was silent with her shoulders hunched and had her hands in her lap. Yukari wondered what her problem was. They were on a paid vacation; the woman should be just a little more cheerful!

Yukari made one last lap, eyes focused on the PE teacher. Minamo splashed her legs in a slow rhythm, her eyes were closed.

The eccentric teacher sighed and threw the floaty out of the pool in the general direction of where she found it. Then she swam over to Minamo. Her lover perked up slightly when she heard Yukari splashing closer. Their eyes met.

As Yukari tread water by Minamo's feet, she rested her arms on the edge of the pool and asked "What's up, Nyamo?"

The athletic woman smiled and shrugged, "Nothing really."

"Tired?" She nuzzled her head against Minamo's legs.

"I love it here. It reminds me of the city my grandparent's live in."

Oooh. Yukari frowned. Minamo hadn't spoken to her grandparents in years. While she never came out to them, they suspected. It made visiting just a little awkward.

The English teacher knew that she wanted to talk. So she heaved herself up to the poolside, making sure to splash Minamo.

"Yukari!"

"I didn't meanta!" She splashed one last time, clearly on purpose.

Minamo laughed and got up to go fetch Yukari a towel. She tried to rub the water off of her from her partner's attack, shaking her head in amusement as she did.

Yukari shivered in the cold air before a big, fluffy towel was draped over her shoulders. Despite the water dripping off of her, Minamo took a seat directly beside Yukari. The side of her clothing soaked up whatever water the towel didn't catch.

"Would my grandparents hate me?"

She hummed in thought. "I don't think so."

Minamo sighed and leaned heavily on her partner, "You met them… They're just like my mother."

Yeah, it was pretty obvious that ran in the family. There seemed to be a mentality passed down from generation to generation, marriage is the number one goal in life. It seemed a little silly to Yukari, who had grown up with a relaxed family. Some things couldn't be helped though.

"But you know, we're married in every sense besides legally."

"Japan and my family don't recognize that."

Yukari chuckled at the pouty sound in her voice. "Your other option is to run off and get married with some random dude your mom sets you up with."

Minamo made a face.

"Of course, I'd be your mistress." That made her partner burst out laughing, "But no threesomes, alright?"

Through a giggle, Minamo said "I'll just stick with you for now."

They held hands as they watched the pool glimmer in the night lights. They talked and planned.
