Sei woke up the next morning due to the rays of light coming in through her window. She tried to stretch her limbs, but she didn't get very far when she felt something weighing her down. She turned to her right, looked down and saw Yumi sleeping peacefully next to her, with her head lying slightly on the blonde's shoulder. The way the light was shining in through the window, she would have thought that Yumi looked like an angel.
The former Rose Gigantea gently moved herself so that Yumi's head was now resting on her pillow, without waking the younger girl. The mischievous blonde then had a thought on how to wake her little sleeping beauty, and laid back on her bed, pretending to be asleep.
Yumi woke up feeling something shifting next to her. She looked over and saw that Sei shifting back and forth, Yumi was about to ask her if she was alright, when she heard Sei mumbling something in her sleep.
"Yumi… not right now, it's too early."
Yumi froze from her spot on the bed and stared at the blonde sleeping next to her with a blush creeping on her face. 'What is Sei dreaming about?' Yumi thought mentally, not wanting to disturb her, the brunette tried to slide out of bed, but was stopped when an arm grabbed her and pulled her back to the bed.
Yumi looked down to see Sei snuggling between her breasts. "Sei!" Yumi screamed trying to move away, but Sei had her arms around her waist holding her still. When the brunette finally stopped squirming around, she could hear chuckling. The former rose looked down again, this time seeing the sly grin she has seen many times before.
"Gotcha Yumi." Sei said while grinning devilishly. Yumi's face flushed deep red. She wanted to scream at Sei for tricking her like that, but instead of doing the obvious Yumi decided to try something different. When she calmed herself down, the brunette moved Sei from on top of her, and silently walked out of the room. 'Let's see what she thinks of this' Yumi smiled to herself. The younger girl had never given the older of the two the silent treatment before, and she eager to see how it would work.
Sei was a little confused by Yumi's choice of action. 'She didn't even yell at me, like she usually does.' The blonde thought. "Is she really that mad at me this time?" She whispered to the empty room. Getting up from the bed, Sei made her way out of the room, to see where her friend had gone. She saw that Yumi was in the kitchen going through the fridge and cabinets.
"Yumi..." The former rose Gigantea said standing next to the counter, watching as the younger girl continued to work in front of her. 'I really messed up this time.' Sei thought. 'I should do something to make it up to her, but what? I got it!' Sei walked over to Yumi and took the food Yumi got from the fridge out of her hands. "I'm sorry if I made you mad Yumi, how about I cook us breakfast this morning, will that make up for it?" Sei said apologetically.
Yumi wanted to tell her that she wasn't that upset when she saw the sad look on Sei's face, but she was having a little too much fun at the moment. Instead, she walked out of the kitchen and sat down in the living room and pretended to read her book.
Sei took that as a good sign, and turned her attention to the task at hand. She didn't know what she was going to cook; she only knew how to make one kind of decent breakfast, so she decided to go with what she knew. She went over to the fridge and grabbed some eggs, and bacon. Yumi already had bread out on the counter, so Sei didn't have to look very hard for it. She turned out the stove and proceeded to cook their breakfast.
Yumi was about halfway through her book, when she smelled something good from the kitchen. She put her book down on the table and walked towards the source. When she walked in, she saw something she didn't expect to see. The food that her roommate and friend made was spread on the table, and it looked delicious. Yumi didn't know that Sei could cook, let alone make it look edible.
"Well… am I forgiven?" Sei asked hopefully, almost hopping up and down with anticipation. The brunette looked at her friend, trying to hold back the laughter that she wanted to release. "Yes Sei, you're forgiven. " Yumi smiled at her roommate and sat down in front of her plate. Sei grinned and sat down in the chair next to Yumi's, and both started to eat their food.
"Wow." Yumi said when she took her first bite. "This is really good Sei, I didn't know you cook like this." She teased the blonde.
"Yeah I had to learn a few new things when I was gone; one was how to cook decent meals." Sei smiled at her friend. "Is it really that good?" She asked tilting her head to the side.
"It's really good Sei, I mean it. Maybe I should give you the silent treatment more often, if I'm going to get meals like this." Yumi laughed.
"Maybe… wait you wasn't really mad me were you?!" Sei accused pointing at the Yumi.
"No, I wasn't, I was going to tell you before you started cooking, but I figured if you really wanted to cook for me, then I wouldn't stop you. " Yumi said innocently. "I'm sorry for tricking you like that Sei."
"Humph, maybe I should give you the silent treatment for making me slave over a hot stove like that." The blonde suggested folding her arms across her chest. She waited for some kind of reaction from the younger woman.
"But I said that I was sorry, I really didn't want to trick you like that, I just thought it would be funny at the time." Yumi said trying to get Sei to not give her the silent treatment. "I don't know…" Sei started, but was cut off. "I'll do anything you want to make it up to you." Yumi said leaning closer to the blonde.
Sei smirked at that comment. "Anything?" Sei asked thinking about what she could have her friend do to make up for teasing her earlier.
Yumi didn't like the look Sei had on her face; she was starting to have second thoughts on what she said about what she said. "Well, maybe not everything Sei." Yumi said sitting back down in her chair.
"Too late for that now Yumi, I already know what I want. " The former rose Gigantea said smiling at the former rose Chinensis. "W-What is that?" Yumi asked shakily.
"I want you go out with me on a date tonight." Sei smiled brightly.
"What, that's it?" Yumi asked with relief in her voice. Sei smiled more at her. "Well, if you want more I could always ask for a little more. "NO that's okay; I'll go on a date with you tonight." The brunette said waving her hands frantically.
"Great then it's settled, tonight we'll have the night for ourselves." The blonde grinned.
"Hai." Yumi agreed.
A/N: There's the third chapter guys and girls. I hope you all enjoyed it. Sorry for the cliff hanger, I've started chapter four. It might take me some time to finish it; I'm not sure yet even though it's the holidays. I have a lot of little kids here, and I don't feel comfortable writing with them around me haha.
