Author's Note: This is another one of my favorites, and the second-to-last one I've got. Have a good day!
Setsuko x Mitsuko
Prompt: Your character falls asleep on mine.
"Setsuko?"
There was no reply. "Setsuko," Mitsuko prompted again, using the gentle voice that few people other than her roommate even knew existed. She was met with only silence.
Setsuko's head was on Mitsuko's lap. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing slowly. Mitsuko wondered how long ago the girl had drifted off — she hadn't even noticed. They'd spent the past couple of hours in comfortable silence, flipping through magazines and taking small sips of sparkling juice. It had been a long week, and both girls felt that they had earned a relaxing afternoon.
Mitsuko had her feet up on the coffee table, and Setsuko was stretched out across the couch. They'd shifted around the room a few times, but this position was cozy and natural for both of them. Mitsuko was grateful for that, since it looked as though she might be stuck there for a while.
She reached for her juice, wishing they hadn't sworn off alcohol. Granted, it was probably a smart move given their past experiences, but it still would've been nice to have something to take the edge off. Even after spending the day just killing time with Setusko, she was a little tense.
A sudden jolt of movement and a sharp pain in her arm made Mitsuko wince, and she turned her head to see the apartment's newest resident staring back at her unblinkingly. She scowled, wondering why Setusko kept bringing these things home. The cat leaped forward, jostling the girls again, and settled on Mitsuko's knees.
"Can you not do that?" Mitsuko protested feebly. The cat just stared back at her. "Fine," she grumbled, resigned. Maybe she'd just go to sleep, too.
