Ne…huggu shiyo? :3

KananDiaMari

Sleeping Position

"You do it…like this!" Dia flicks her wrist and wills the kendama ball to connect with the wood without falling off…but Kanan witnesses it falls off for the thirty-sixth time. "WHY?!" Dia huffs in frustration as Mari takes it from her.

I usually find Dia's never give up attitude endearing but…

"MY TURN~" Mari sing-songs before she focuses, her tongue sticking out upwards in a cheeky, cute way but she uses too much force in throwing the ball up and it just clanks off the wood. "Buu buu desu wa~!"

I love Mari's enthusiasm but…

"That's not when you use my catchphrase!" Dia scolds as she takes the kendama back for her thirty-seventh try.

Guess I'll go sleep first. It's past midnight already after all.

"Good night, Dia, Mari." Kanan stands to go to Mari's bed; the bluenette happily accepted Mari's suggestion to play Japan's traditional game of kendama and also magnificently got the ball onto the wooden pointed part in one try. She then patiently and encouragingly waited for her girlfriends' turn for success. She did not expect them to be an hour in and still be trying.

"Buu buu desu wa!" Mari pouts in Kanan's direction while the bluenette reminds herself not to turn around to see Mari's or Dia's pout which will no doubt make her return to their sides.

"Kanan-san! You shouldn't be sleeping until you teach us the secret to playing this!" Dia has her hands to her hips; demand in her voice and posture.

Kanan remains adamant as she climbs onto Mari's queen-size bed and lies right in the middle. "I'll be here waiting for you two~ Good night~"

They'll get bored soon enough without me there or perhaps Mari will cheat and put the ball in, declaring hers and Dia's success before joining me… Sleep entices all.

Kanan had it all sort out in her mind, things will settle down in the Ohara house and she will get to have a peaceful, proper sleepover with her girlfriends. Now all she has to do is wait.

"Kanan!"

"Kanan-san!"

Mari and Dia's protests and whines were ineffective.

They exchanged looks with each other and the kendama in Dia's hands before looking back to their girlfriend who retired to bed first. Their gaze stopping at the rise and fall of Kanan's chest (Dia looked for two seconds and Mari stared for a good ten seconds), then to Kanan's muscular arms, out in the open as she wore a sleeveless shirt, lying on the bed just waiting for someone to hold onto it (at least it seemed that way to Mari and Dia).

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Dia?" Mari asks as a grin grew on her face.

Dia sighs to hide her growing blush and puts the kendama away. "I believe I'm thinking what you're thinking, Mari-san…"

Mari's grin explodes into a wide smile. "Then LET'S GO~"

Mari skips and climbs onto her bed swiftly, taking Kanan's left arm into a tight embrace, nuzzling close to her girlfriend's shoulder, making sure Kanan's arm was snugly squeezed in between her breasts – if that woke Kanan and made her blush, it's a win for Mari, else she's just happy to have Kanan as close to her as possible, so it's her win regardless.

..! Mari! Your breasts..! … Ah, fine. I expected this when I exposed my arms anyways.

Dia was right behind Mari, not wanting to be left out, though she made a detour to switch the lights off before getting into bed, claiming Kanan's right arm for herself. Though unlike Mari, Dia slept in a straight posture, so she simply laid her head on Kanan's upper arm.

Cramped arms in the morning is worth it for you two…

Kanan smiles as she moves her right arm so that it pulled and held Dia closer to her just as Mari was wiggling and snuggling closer to her on her left.

"Good night, Kanan…Dia…" Mari murmurs sleepily and blissfully.

Dia lets out an equally blissful breath of air when she felt Kanan hold her closer. "Good night, Mari-san… Kanan-san…"

And so the three of them slept a good night's sleep, Dia and Mari in Kanan's arms and Kanan holding them warm and close.

Author Notes

Yay~ Diananmari~! :D Is how I tend to call this ship. But well, Dia x Kanan x Mari. :D

I was wondering what kind of scene I could write for these three, and when I was looking at some fanart, I realized… It's got to be hugs! *w* And then for some reason the image that popped into mind was Dia, Kanan and Mari sleeping together, each in Kanan's arms~ XD So yep!

Hope you enjoyed the chapter! XD

P.S. Mari tried 47 times on the kendama. ;D Like, she went "Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!" ten times in a row quickly and failing before Dia snatched it over for her turn. XD
