a/n: Honestly, how late is this? So sorry. I have been too absorbed in my other stories. But now it's time to give another chapter for my favourite pairing in the universe. Enjoy~
Wiping a little bit of sweat off her forehead, Sora sighed, a sound that turned into a yawn as she stretched her arms out and closed her eyes.
Layla snuffed in good humour as she slowly crept up behind the girl and outstretched her arms to Sora's sides. May looked on with an expression that sort of read 'what the heck is she doing'. Layla glanced at May, soundlessly sushing her before she turned her head back to Sora.
In one quick motion, Layla attacked the poor girl's sides with a quick jab, meant to tickle her. Sora flinched upon contact and rapidly flung her body around to face Layla and glare at her, clutching her sides defensively. Her glare softened when she saw the sparkling amusement in Layla's eyes, but hardened again and snapped to May as she heard the black haired woman's cackling laughter.
"Haha! Sora, your face!" May laughed as she pointed a finger in Sora's direction.
"Not funny" Sora grumbled as she pouted at May.
Layla stopped choking back her laughter long enough to gently hug Sora, who clenched her sides even tighter in self defence, and said with no small amount of amusement "Oh, I don't know... I think it was rather funny"
Sora stuck her tongue out at her and Layla almost growled "Do that again if you feel like having your tongue bitten off"
Sora immediately slipped her tongue back in her mouth and gave a bashful expression.
May rolled her eyes at them.
"This is so weird... Can you two, like, not be lovey dovey around me? Thanks"
Layla turned around, still wearing a teasing expression "I wouldn't call that lovey dovey" she turned around and gave Sora Eskimo kisses and a peck on the lips, earning a huge blush from the Japanese woman, who hid her face at the public display.
"That, that lovey dovey" she said smugly, turning back to May "Now, although I appreciate your help, it's late and I would like to go to bed... So I think it is time you were on your way"
May still had her half disgusted half shocked expression from the romantic display she had just witnessed, but that left when she registered What Layla had just said.
"Oh. R-Right"
Sora perked up then, previous embarrassment forgotten, and said softly "Aww, you said yourself it's getting late. Don't make her go home at this time... Can't May stay the night? There IS a room not in use" she slightly cleared her throat and looked away shyly, realizing that she had just admitted to May that she and Layla were sleeping together.
Layla looked back at her and blinked, seeming to think about it.
"Hmmm... I suppose you're right... May, would you like to stay the night?"
May perked up a little and nodded once... Layla may be taken in other ways, but she was still her idol, and it would be nice to spend the night even in the same household as her.
"Yes please" May said politely.
"Alright then... The bed is unmade, I'll go get some sheets and a blanket... Follow me"
May skipped after Layla and passed Sora with a smile, mouthing a small 'thank you' to which Sora smiled and tilted her head cutely in return to.
Upstairs in the extra room that was supposed to be Sora's before certain events, Layla dropped a pile of sheets and a blanket onto the bed.
"Sorry it's not much to look at at the moment" Layla apologized "I still haven't had a chance to redecorate"
May shook her head "It's fine. Thank you for letting me stay the night"
Layla smiled softly at her "Of course... If you need anything me and Sora are just down the hall, first door at the top of the stairs" with that she turned around and nearly ran into Sora on her way out the door.
"Gomenasai!" Sora apologized quickly in Japanese, Layla raised an eyebrow before leaning over and whispering coyly in her ear.
"I still don't understand"
Sora rolled her eyes in good nature and whispered back "It means I'm sorry... As in I'm sorry you have a hard time learning"
Oh, that did it. Layla straightened up, and with a gleam in her eyes and a smirk on her face, she walked sternly out the door. The blonde turned around and called over her shoulder as she entered the bedroom.
"Prepare yourself Sora. Snide comments won't sit well with me" And she entered the bedroom.
Sora almost gulped and shook her head to clear it... She was definitely in trouble. It was clear Layla wasn't mad, but she certainly wasn't going to let it slide. Sora would be 'paying for' her comment tonight.
She shook off the thought again and walked up to May with a smile "Heh, Sorry about the awkwardness... You can borrow my panamas if you like"
May the the pile of clothes Sora had held out to he gratefully "Thanks... And it's alright. I guess I just have to get used to it... Besides, not like either of us can control how Layla acts. It's not you being romantic in front of people"
Sora giggled "Layla will be Layla. I've learned it and you will too... Spend time with her and you'll see" with that, Sora turned on her heel and bounced out of the room.
Her pace slowed as she neared their bedroom. Her hand reached for the doorknob. Cautiously she opened the door and peeked her head in.
Layla was laying on the bed, head propped up by her elbow and laying on her side. The position accentuated her curves and made for a rather arousing appearance. Her light silk nightdress fell perfectly around her, and was just thin enough to reveal a slight amount of the skin underneath.
"Come in" Layla said in a low tone.
This time Sora did gulp. She came in and quietly shut the door behind her before leaning on it. After a few more moments of admiring Layla she made her way over to the bed.
Layla followed Sora with her eyes as she came towards her. Slowly she leaned up, and when Sora was close enough, she grabbed her by the collar and dragged her down onto the bed. Now she had her pinned beneath herself, enjoying the deer in headlights look she got from the girl.
Layla bent down, kissing and sucking Sora's neck before growling against the skin "You're going to pay for your comment"
Sora whimpered a little, trying to be quiet "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Layla. I meant nothing by it... Please don't do this with May in the next room"
Layla seemed to consider her words, and debate whether or not continuing would be a good idea.
Apparently she had decided not, for she unpinned Sora and laid on her side again. Though she didn't stop her affections. She continued to place multiple kisses on Sora's cheek. The girl sighed in contentment from the action and turned her face to catch Layla's lips.
"Fine" Layla grumbled after sweetly breaking the kiss "I suppose you're right... But just know, that you won't get away with it"
"I'm well aware" Sora smirked. She yawned again and Layla chuckled at her. Sora sleepily got up and made her way over to a box of clothes to put on her favourite polkadot pyjamas. Layla admired her as she put them on and made her way back to bed, apparently not noticing the blue eyes scanning her entire figure the entire time.
Once snuggled down by Layla's side, Sora began to drift off. Layla smirked at her, she was still in a teasing mood. Was it right to bother her though when she looked so serene? She supposed it wouldn't hurt.
"Oh Sooooora" Layla called quietly in a sing song voice, to which Sora gave a sleepy 'Hmm?' In reply.
Layla got close to her ear and purposely took a moment before whispering "Who's gonna turn off the lights?"
Sora frowned and made a grumpy sound. Apparently she was going to be stubborn. Layla didn't blame her of course. She had figured the joke would be pushing it a little too far.
"I'm only joking. Don't be mad with me" Layla mumbled as she kissed her on the cheek and got up to turn the light off. Once she returned Sora immediately snuggled into her side. The blonde so much loved the way it felt when Sora was pressed firm against her. She hoped it would never end.
"Oh, Layla?" Sora questioned quietly before she would completely fall asleep.
"Yes, My Love?"
Oh Lord, how Sora loved being called that.
"Tomorrow, remind me that I need to let Haley know about the open room"
Layla laughed a little bit and hugged Sora even tighter before bursting her bubble, so that she wouldn't pull away from her.
"Won't Sarah do that? She probably already has"
Sora pouted "Well I'll do it anyway... So remind me"
"Okay Grumpy. Go to sleep now then"
"I will" with that last grumpy response, Sora fell asleep.
It took Layla a little while. She had stayed up to consciously enjoy the presence of the small woman in her arms. But Layla eventually fell asleep as well.
