Maki was not an emotional person, Hanayo was very aware of this. Maki was awkward when it came to telling Hanayo things about herself, which Hanayo respected the girls boundaries. Hanayo was aware Maki was awkward with emotions, but she still loved the redhead. Hence her confusion when her lover came knocking on her door, the one night they didn't choose to sleep in Maki's bed. Hanayo was confused when she saw Maki's eyes red and puffy, confused when she saw Maki's face red like she had been crying, confused when Maki hugged her tightly like she would disappear if Maki dare let go.
"Hanayo," Maki sobbed, Hanayo rubbing Maki's back awkwardly. It was weird for her to see the red head so exposed, it was strange, Maki was a tuff person after all.
"W-What's wrong, Maki-chan?" Hanayo asked quietly, whispering in Maki's ear.
"I-I had a dream," The seventeen year old stated, causing Hanayo to let out a small giggle.
"Don we all?" Hanayo asked curiously.
"You d-d-d-d-d, y-you were k-k-killed Hanayo," Hanayo paused, oh. Oh. Maki had a nightmare. Not just any nightmare though, Hanayo had died. Her love had died, which to Maki, was like killing her too. Maki Nishikino loved Hanayo Koizomi for certain, even if she didn't say it too much.
"M-Maki-chan, i-i-its fine, I'm right here see?" Hanayo smiled.
"Yeah," Maki snuggled into Hanayo, who was taken aback at how childish her girlfriend was.
"I love you Maki-chan," Hanayo told Maki, drawing shapes on the taller girl's back for comfort.
"I love you too Hanayo," Maki kissed Hanayo lightly, yawning after. Hanayo had never seen Maki act so childishly.
"Let's get some rest, we have school tomorrow," Hanayo told her love, Maki hmming and a response.
"Sure," But Maki never let go of Hanayo. Maki didn't want Hanayo to ever leave, she wanted to propose and marry Hanayo, she wanted to have a child with Hanayo, she was wanted it all. But if Hanayo wasn't going to stay, Maki didn't know how she would take it, she loved Hanayo too much.
"Hanayo, you're not going anywhere," Maki told the sandy haired girl.
"I won't, you have my word," Hanayo smiled and kissed Maki's cheek.
"Good, I love you Hanayo," Maki repeated, Hanayo giggling again at seeing this new side to her love.
"I love you too Maki-chan," Hanayo smiled as she felt two arms wrap around her waist to deepen the hug.
"I love you Hanayo," Maki smiled.
"Where's you tsudere side Maki-chan?" Hanayo teased. Ever since dating Maki, Hanayo had gotten more outgoing, which was good.
"I don't care, stupid, I just love you, and I'm tired," Maki pouted, but quickly got rid of her pout and kissed Hanayo again.
"I love you too Maki-chan, I won't leave you," Hanayo put her hand on Maki's cheek.
"Say it again," Maki demanded.
"I love you Maki-chan, I won't ever leave you alone," Hanayo smiled as she felt Maki press her lips to her.
"I love you too Hanayo, I will never leave you, ever," Maki smiled and yawned.
"Let's get to bed Maki-chan," Hanayo led Maki back to the bed, lying down and then waiting for Maki to wrap her arms around her.
"I love you, night Hanayo," Maki kissed Hanayo's temple.
"Night Maki-chan, I love you too," Hanayo fell into a dreamful sleep, happy when she heard Maki happily talking in her sleep, which Hanayo pieced together to be a story a out the two of them as a married couple. Hanayo kissed Maki's cheek.
"I really love you Maki-chan."
