Act 7

Lonely, But Cute Little Bunny

"Umi-chan, Umi-chan!" Honoka says as she and Umi are at Honoka's room, studying. Kotori has her shift at the maid cafe and it turned out that one of the employees called in sick, so she has to fill in until late at night. "Guess what I got while I was out shopping the other day?"

"Hm? What is it, Honoka?" Umi asks as she puts down her pencil.

The ginger stands up, takes a small pink bag from under her desk and brings it over towards the small table. She takes out a pair of bunny ears and puts it on Umi's head.

"Ta-da~!" Honoka says. "You're now a cute bunny, Umi-chan~!"

The blunette takes them off and tosses them away.

"Awwww! Don't approve already!?"

"I'd look ridiculous in them, Honoka," Umi says as she crosses her arms, slightly turning her head away.

"But you're adorable, regardless! Come on. Put them back on, Umi-chaaaaan!"

"No thank you. Now, go and study." Umi says, pointing at Honoka's text book.

"Ehhhhhh? I don't wanna!"

"Do your studies now."

"Fine…"

The ginger tries her hardest to concentrate on her work, but the image of Umi wearing her bunny ears, plus a sexy bunny suit that women wear during casinos appears in her mind for some reason. Honoka just can't help herself but think about this stuff. She writes a couple things down, but then stop to have that image in her head again. Every part of Umi's body is now flashing in the ginger's mind while wearing her playboy bunny suit. If Kotori would ever design that kind of stuff, Honoka knows she would be dying of cuteness right about now, just how Umi would look at the moment.

"Are you concentrating?" Umi asks, snapping Honoka out of her thoughts.

"Ahhhh…y-yeah. Yes, I am! Can't you see that I'm thinking right now?" Honoka laughs nervously.

"You just wrote a couple things down and then stopped," Umi says. "You're thinking about something, aren't you?" She leans in, staring at her suspiciously. "Come on, spill it."

The ginger blushes and slightly turns away. "U-Umi-chan…I can't help but think about you with those bunny ears on your head. It's just that…you look so cute in that."

Umi deadpans as she puts her hands on her hips. "You really want to see me wear those? I seriously don't want your head exploding. From the cuteness overload, I mean."

"Hehehe~! You're so funny, Umi-chan~! Of course my head won't explode because of that."

"As far as I can see, I think it will."

"Umi-chan!"

"Trust me, I am not putting that on for you."

There is silence for a minute when Umi turns her head towards her girlfriend when she notices small tears on the ginger's eyes.

"No, I'm not falling for that one," Umi says, crossing her arms and turning her head away.

The ginger gives small little cute whimpers like a sad puppy, crawling closer to the blunette.

"Not falling for it."

Honoka whimpers a little louder and cuter at the same time, crawling a bit closer to her, just a few inches away. She puts her hand on Umi's shoulder, sniffling a little as the small tears fall.

"Come on, Honoka," Umi gives a slight chuckle, still refusing to make eye contact. "Your tricks can't…fool…me…" She starts to blush bright red when she can feel Honoka's face get real close to hers.

"Umi-chwaaaaaan~!" Honoka whines. "You're soooooo meaaaaann! All I wanted was for you to look cute for meeeeee~!"

Finally, Umi jumps up, putting her hands on her head and shaking it roughly. "Alright, alright! Enough already! I'll….I'll do it!"

Honoka goes back to her cheerful self, as if her whining never happened. "Yay~! Umi-chan loves me again~!"

The blunette sighs as she sits on the bed and takes the bunny ears. "Goodness, you and Kotori outnumber me with your tricks now."

"Get used to it, Umi-chan~!"

Umi reluctantly puts on the bunny ears and lowers her hand on her lap. "So? How do I look?"

Honoka stares at the shy girl up and down. Though she's still in her school uniform, Umi looks ten times cuter than before. As if possessed, quick as a flash, Honoka plunges towards her girlfriend and tackles her on the bed.

"I knew it…" Umi mutters.

"Umi-chan, Umi-chan, Umi-chaaaaan~!" Honoka squeals, rubbing her face against her chest. "Ohhhhh, you're just too cute! I can't take it~!"

"Yup. Her head just exploded…mmmph!" Umi is silenced by Honoka crashing her lips against hers while cupping her cheeks.

The kiss quickly deepens as their tongues caress each other and Umi starts to feel a bit weak.

"H-Honoka…mm…haaah…y-you're being…t-too rough…mmm…chu…"

"Mmm…hehe~…I don't care…Umi-chan…mm….chu…oh, Umi-chan~! Haaah…mmm…chu~"

They pull away briefly to catch their breath and Honoka goes in for another. Over and over, they kiss each other for about a minute. Umi wishes it could last forever. She doesn't want this blissful feeling to stop right now. Eventually, they pull away once again to catch their breath. Panting, they gaze into each other's eyes, however, Honoka notices small tears on Umi's eyes.

"Eh? What's the matter, Umi-chan?" the ginger tilts her head in confusion.

Umi bites her lip as she just hugs her girlfriend tightly, shutting her eyes tightly as well. "Y-you idiot! It's your fault I'm feeling this way!"

"Hehe! What do you mean?"

"D-don't ever leave me…o-okay?" Umi says. "Stay with me."

The ginger giggles as she strokes her hair. "Oh, Umi-chan. You really are a lonely, but cute little bunny~"

"Shut up!"

The two remain lying in each other's arms for however long they wanted it to be. Umi feels happy and safe in her girlfriend's arms and the ginger feels the same.
