The bug chapter 20
"So how are we supposed do now?"Megumi asked, looking around for a futon.
"You can take the bed." Peorth yawned. And started flying around the room.
"Where will you sleep?" Megumi frowned. But Peorth didn't answered.... she was... asleep? Megumi sweat-dropped. 'She can fly *and* sleep?' She walked to Skuld's room and knocked.
"Skuld are you asleep?" She asked.
"No, you can come in." Skuld's voice answered.
Megumi poked her head in. "Skuld..."
"What?" The goddess was eating ice cream.
"How can you eat that at that time of the night?" Megumi blurted.
"Is that why you came?" Skuld questionned, annoyed as she swalowed her last bite.
"No." She smiled, staring at Skuld. "Actually, I was wondering if it was normal that Peorth fell asleep flying."
The young girl beamed. "She did it again??" She got up and practically ran to Peorth's room, a very confused Megumi on her heels. They enterd the room and Peorth was floating around, effectively sleeping. "Hehe!!" Skuld started poking the goddess.
"Ok, what's that about?" Megumi smiled, crossing her arms.
"Somnambulist." Skuld grinned, pointing at Peorth. Megumi made an o wih her mouth and snickered. "Look at that!" Skuld's grin grew wider as she pushed Peorth.
The goddess drifted and bumped in a wall. She turned, mumbeling in her sleep but didn't wake up or fell from her imaginary cloud. Skuld repeated the action and Peorth just let herself be pushed around the room by the younger goddess, who was grinning madly.
"Catch!!!" Skuld laughed as she pushed Peorth toward Megumi.
"Hey! Go easy on her!" 'Megumi laughed herself and caught Peorth. "You should go and sleep Skuld."
"Yea I should." She giggled.
"Hey... is it really ok to let her sleep, flying across the room like that?" She asked, still not letting loose the somnambulist.
Skuld shrugged, smiling. "She does that all the time." With that, she exited.
Megumi observed the goddess sleeping in her arms. "Well then..." She released her and Peorth just floated there. Megumi undressed to get ready to sleep. She kept her shirt and panties on and slipped in the bed. Ready to close the lights, she looked over at Peorth one last time.
The goddess shivered. "....Urd..." She sobbed in her sleep.
"....." Megumi got up.
****
Peorth woke up but didn't opened her eyes. She always gave herself time before waking up for real, plus she knew that it was very early. 'Warm' She smiled. 'Warm?' her eyes shot open. She was effectively in her bed. 'Where did Megumi sleep?' she wondered, looking around for her. Then she heard grumbeling and looked down. 'What the??'
"Awww, Megumi!" Peorth got up. "What are you doing on the floor?"
Megumi cracked her eyes open, grumebeld again and turned around, her back facing Peorth.
Peorth rested her hand on the girl's arm. 'Ack! so cold!' Swiftly, she lifted Megumi and deposed her on the bed. "Why did you do that?" The goddess scolded.
Megumi opened sleepily her eyes. "Do what? You're the one who just lifted me in your arms and lied me on a bed, Miss Prince Charming."
"No!! Well yes, but.... hey! that's not the point!! You slept on the floor and gave me the bed." Peorth sat next to the girl, who snuggeled in the still warm blanket.
"Well, you were cold." Megumi muttered in the pillows before looking up at Peorth.
"And now *you're* cold." Peorth growled. "Why didn't you sleep with me anyway?"
"You want to sleep with me?" Megumi raised an eyebrow.
"That's not what I meant!!" Peorth glared down at the cat smile the girl gave her. "....And you know it very well."
"Hehe. Yes." Megumi closed her eyes the way she always do when smiling that cute smile.
"You twisted that sentence on purpose, didn't you?" Peorth still glared but it was soon traded for a soft smile, no one could resist Megumi's almighty- kawaii-cat-like smile and Peorth was no exception.
"Of course." Megumi answered drowzily.
Peorth sighed. "Then tell me why you slept on the floor."
She yawned. "You don't sleep in bed with someone without their approval."
"Does that rule goes with the 'don't sleep in the room of someone you don't know the name' and the 'don't grope someone you just met' rules?" The goddess asked sarcasticaly.
Megumi nodded, her eyes still closed.
"But you were freezing your ass. What if you caught a cold or something?" Peorth was annoyed and Megumi stayed silent. "Hey, answer me when I'm talking to you!!" She observed the brunette. 'She fell asleep' Peorth sweatdropped.
The goddess rested a hand on the girl's forehead and saw why Megumi had gave up on the bed: she saw herself floatting, curled up in a ball as she shivered and sobbed.
Peorth smiled and chuckled to herself. 'She's just like her brother. Looking out for the others before themselves.' She caressed Megumi's cold cheek.
"Poor dear..." She looked around, like if to make sure no one would see her. 'the two other rules weren't respected, were they?' She justified herself as she slid in the bed.
"I'll warm you up." She whispered to the sleeping girl as she drew her close. "...That wasn't supposed to sound as dirty as it did sound." She added, laughing quietly.

"Good morning." Mara whispered in Urd's ear as she woke up.
"Hey...." Urd smiled contently, snuggling close to her lover. "It's like a dream, waking up with you lying by my side."
"It is for me too." Mara smiled softly. They stayed silent for a moment before the demon spoke again. "What'll happen from now on, Urd?"
"What do you mean?" the goddess raised her head from where it was resting on Mara's chest and looked up at her.
"I mean with you being a goddess and me being a demon." Mara fixed Urd's eyes seriously.
"I really don't know. "She rested her head back on the pale skin and closed her eyes. "I can't live without you anymore."
Mara answered by deposing a kiss on Urd's head.
"I think that for now we should get dressed and tell my sisters and Peorth about our situation. Maybe they'll be able to help us." Urd thought aloud.
"Are you sure about telling them that soon?" Mara stroked gently the platinum hair.
"Yes." She opened her eyes. "I love you and I have no reason to keep that a secret." She embrassed her tighter.
"Ok then." Mara agreed softly.

Belldandy had almost finished preparing the breakfeast. She strolled down the corridor and knocked on Urd's door. "Time to wake up Urd!"
"We're up!" Came her sister's muffled reply.
Belldandy moved on to the second room. "Skuld?" She knocked against the second door.
"I'm coming." Skuld yawned and came out, still in sleepwear.
"Good. I'll finish the breakfeast, could you go and get Peorth and Megumi?" She smiled sweetly.
"Sorry sis, but I'm done with surprises. I'm not taking any more chances." Skuld held back another yawn and began to walk towards the kitchen. "Get them yourself." She added as she turned the corner.
"Whatever she meant...." Belldandy wondered aloud as she got to the last room. She knocked. "Peorth? Megumi?" No answer. She tried again "Are you awake?" Still no response. Belldandy opened the door. "Oh my." She blushed, finally understanding part of what Skuld meant. Peorth and Megumi were sleeping in a sweet embrace, their foreheads touching, less than an inch seperating their lips.
Megumi stirred and sat up, rubbing her eyes lazily. "Oh. Hey there, Bell." The goddess waved, obviously uncomfortable. "What's the matter?" Megumi looked around and saw that Peorth was sleeping, no had been sleeping (she was now awake) a little too close for comfort. "Oh."
"Hi Belldandy." Peorth innocently smiled. "Something's wrong?"
Poor Belldandy shook her head no, blushing. "Um, breakfeast is ready." She managed to say before heading back to the kitchen.
"What's with her?" Peorth asked.
"Hyne..." Megumi muttered and got up, following the same path as Belldandy. "Bell, wait!!"
"Ok, what did I do now?" Peorth muttered to herself as she too got up.
****
Belldandy entered the kitchen, her cheeks flushed.
"Is something wrong?"Keiichi asked as she hurriedly walked back to her pots.
"Come on Bell, hear me out!" Megumi followed, wearing only a tight white shirt and panties.
"Let me guess. It wasn't what it looked like." Skuld snorted, smiling to herself.
"Yes! No! I mean yes!" Megumi scratched her head. "Help me out!" She cried as Peorth entered too.
"About?" Peorth obviously had missed something. Yes, she had been sleeping in the same bed as Megumi but that was it, right?
"Megumi, put something on!" Keiichi blushed as he finally noticed that she had been running around in underwear.
"Why? Flying woman's always wearing nothing else but that black swimsuit of hers." Megumi scoffed.
"That's my goddess uniform, you moron!" Peorth slapped Megumi behind the head.
"Oww! That hurt!" Megumi glared at Peorth, rubbing the sore spot. "Now tell them nothing happened, O great bitchy goddess!" Megumi pointed to the trio.
"How dare you, you retarded mortal!" The goddess threatened her.
Fortunately, (or unfortunately, Skuld was begining to find their little show very amusing) Urd opened the door, silencing everyone. They all remembed how the two left the table right after they had finished eating, the day before. They stayed silent as Urd and Mara entered... holding hands?
"Hi!" Peorth beamed, understanding immediately their situation.
"Urd?" Belldandy asked, a little unsure.
Urd glanced at Mara, who nodded, squeazing gently the goddess' hand.
