Shizuku looks around for Eris at school that afternoon. She hasn't seen her for a good chunk of the day. Eris has even avoided her. What in the world is going on? She wants to get to the bottom of this once and for all.

She has searched around the campus until she comes to the courtyard. There, she finally finds her beloved girlfriend on the bench…with another girl she doesn't know. They are…holding hands? And…smooching? But why? Why is Eris with some other girl without even saying anything to her? It's just like that time when she didn't tell her about Eris leaving for home to take care of her family.

"E-Eris….?" Shizuku manages to get out. She trembles with both fists on her chest. "Wh-who is that girl…?"

"Oh, her~?" Eris says. "Can't you tell~?" She hugs the twin braided brunette close to her. "She's my girlfriend~"

"But I'M your girlfriend!" Shizuku gestures toward herself. "We've been going out for weeks! Maybe even a month! And now all of a sudden you had your eyes on this girl!?"

"Pretty much~" Eris turns to the girl and nuzzles her head against the cutie. "She's my biggest fan~! Isn't it nice~?"

This doesn't make any sense. Eris has been head over heels with Shizuku ever since they met. She even turned down fan girls from confessing to her. But she went with this kind of girl?

"I'm so happy~!" The girl says. "Hey, Eris-sama! Let's go somewhere where we can be truly alone~!"

"Gladly~!" Eris replies and takes the girl's hand. "Well…nice seeing you, Kirishima-san~! I must be going~!"

Shizuku gasps, feeling her heart break in two. Eris did not call her by her given name. What madness is this?

"Eris…!" Shizuku reaches a hand out but the blonde is already too far to be able to hear her. "Eris….no…." Her legs feel like jello after that, so she drops down to her knees, clutches her chest and sobs her heart out.

Reality*

Eris is awoken by the sound of quiet sobbing and sniffling. She sees her beautiful beloved talking in her sleep.

"No…Eris…please don't leave me…." Shizuku whispers.

Eris lets out a soft gasp. Her beloved is having a nightmare and it's not looking too good. She decides to wake her up to have her escape from this horrible place.

"Shizuku..?" Eris gently tries to shake her girlfriend. "Shizuku!"

The black haired Yamato Nadeshiko wakes up and jolts up, looking around in a panic while panting heavily. She then looks over to see the beautiful blonde looking at her with worry.

"E-Eris…" Shizuku says as her beloved sits up as well.

"Shizuku…were you having a nightmare…?" Eris's usual soft spoken voice is heard.

Shizuku doesn't want to admit it, but since it's her beloved, she cannot help but nod and clench the sheets. Eris scoots closer and gently wrap her arms around her girlfriend. Shizuku turns and rests her head on Eris's large chest. Both of them are wearing yutakas to sleep in.

"Shizuku…" Eris whispers as she gently strokes Shizuku's beautiful dark mane. "Would you mind…telling me what happened in your dream…?"

Shizuku pulls away and explains everything. But the more she tells the story, the more sad she becomes and heavy tears fall from Shizuku's eyes. It absolutely makes Eris' heart ache just from seeing her beloved cry like this. In an instant, Eris wraps her arms around Shizuku tightly and it makes the dark haired maiden sob her heart out. Eris can tell that this nightmare has frightened her. What made her think Eris would outright cheat on her? However, as many would say, it's just a dream.

"Shizuku…" Eris whispers and pulls away to cup both hands to her girlfriend's cheeks and wipe the tears with her thumb.

"E-Eris…I'm so sorry…" Shizuku sniffles. "I know you would never cheat on me but…but the dream told me-"

"You're right," Eris says. "I would never, ever do anything so rash. You are the person I fell in love with the day we first met. I confessed my love to only YOU. I even asked myself why I had such funny feelings for you and no one else. There is absolutely no way for me to cheat on you like this."

"Eris…" Shizuku sniffles again and hiccups.

"So you see…" Eris wipes the last remaining tear and kisses her beloved's forehead. "I'm never leaving you. Not ever…"

"Eris….!" Shizuku cannot help but dive in, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend and kiss her right in the lips.

Eris eagerly returns the favor, embracing her back and they kiss to their heart's content. There are no words to be said at this moment. They can only feel bliss. Just eternal bliss from a single kiss. Shizuku wraps her arms around Eris's neck and deepens the kiss to the point where she dominates Eris' tongue with her own. Eris fully accepts it. They kiss and kiss until they pull away in need to catch their breath. Even though it's dark, they can still see a little bit. They gaze into each other's eyes lovingly. Eris smiles and caresses Shizuku's cheek.

"What do you want to do, Shizuku…?" Eris whispers. "Do you want to go back to sleep~?"

Shizuku shakes her head and removes her yutaka to show her humble breasts.

"I-if you want to…of course…." Shizuku turns away, blushing. "I mean….I need more comfort from you than….anything…"

Eris chuckles and strips herself as well. "Very well. I shall comfort you as much as I can~"

And it is at this moment that the two kiss and soft, sexy moans can be heard through the sliding door of Shizuku's room.
