Pretty 55: Homura x Hikage

The night was young and calm. The sound of waves gently crashing against the shore was heard outside and despite the gentleness of night, there was commotion downstairs the building a certain renegade ninja group was residing in and their leader – a long-haired brunette – groaned as she tried to drown the noise out.
How come her teammates had so much energy that lasted them well into the night? Their victory during the day's battle in the Peach Beach Splash tournament had certainly been cause enough to renew their spirits, but at least Homura had the decency to go to bed and regain energy for tomorrow.
Ugh.
Well, if they wanted wake up drained with headaches, then let them. At least she would be in top shape tomorrow and carry the whole damn team if she had to!
…Assuming she could fall asleep.
Fuck.
´Good for them for being able to enjoy themselves, I guess,´ she thought to herself with a groan. Perhaps she ought to give up and join them downstairs—
A sharp knocking on the door had the brunette's train of thought come to a screeching halt and she shifted, annoyed. "Who is it?"
"Hikage." Homura immediately bolted upright, her pulse spiking. "Let me in already."
"R-Right!" the brunette replied. Unlocking the door and gazing into yellow eyes, the team-leader's heart nearly leapt out of her chest. Hikage still had her hair braided into short pigtails, which was—
´Cute…´
"Cute nightwear," the verdant-haired girl commented with a slight smirk.
Homura scoffed. What was wrong with a black t-shirt and spats shorts? "Just get inside already, Hikage."
"You missed out on some fun," Hikage stated as Homura locked the door behind her. "Ever heard of lamps, by the way?"
"I wasn't expecting company at this hour," the brunette replied with a scowl. "I was supposed to be asleep."
"You're better off being awake anyhow."
"Hm?" A hand gently caressed the brunette's cheek and she shivered. "Oh."
"This tournament has kept us occupied. I don't like it," Hikage coldly stated. "I barely get any alone-time with you, and it infuriates me."
A sigh. "It has been rather hectic, hasn't it?" Homura offered her teammate an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that, Hikage."
"It was your idea that we participated, you know." Even in the dark, the brunette knew those yellow pools were glaring at her. "But if you want to apologize, then you can do so without words."
"Huh?" The hot breath of her teammate caressed her face before soft lips crashed against hers. The heat of Hikage's body pressed against her own and Homura embraced the girl, pulling her closer. Staying like this in the dark, forgotten by the others and simply enjoying the taste, touch, and scent of each other was a guilty pleasure – a secret the two had kept for a long time.
Homura was shoved backwards and stumbled into the bed with Hikage straddling her, reclaiming the brunette's lips. Tongues slide past each other, exploring oral caverns in a wet, wild tango. Hands caressed slim, strong form—
A series of sharp knocks had the two cease whatever they were doing and remained silent. The knocking continued and the verdant-haired girl quietly growled with annoyance.
"I guess she's asleep," someone said – sounded like Mirai – and the sound of several footsteps followed shortly after. "I guess we'll ask tomorrow."
Another minute passed before Hikage let out a sigh. "Must it be so difficult to even spend time with your lover?"
"Since we're supposed to keep them in the dark, yes, I suppose so," Homura replied. She reached up to cup her lover's cheek. "They're gone now, at least."
"Mm…"
"You know, Hikage, I'm still not used to see you so…affectionate, I guess."
"It's your fault," she plainly said. "You're a woman of my own heart. It's difficult not to like you. And no-one can sate me like you." A chuckle. "You're catnip to someone like me, and it makes my blood pump faster."
"You're crazy." The brunette smirked. "I love it."
"Good, because this stalling is driving me insane." She leant down, her lips hovering barely an inch away from Homura's. "…Hey, Homura."
"Yeah…?"
"…I love you. You won't hear me say it often, so I'm just letting you know."
Heh. "And I love you, you crazy bitch."
Hikage grinned and reclaimed the brunette's lips. Their team-leader would definitely not get any sleep tonight.
