Chapter 12

A Drink of Water Makes it all Better

A/N: Soooo sorry for the super late update~! Really couldn't think of anything else for this awesome pairing. Well, not as awesome as HonoKoto, but I want to give HonoUmi some love too~! Besides, Umi's my most favorite. Hehe~!

Most of it will now contain some drabbles, unless I put my mind to it and make it a really long one. Depends on the mood. XD

Enjoy~!

Dance practice can be very, very tiring. Especially when Umi is part of it and Eli is directing the choreography. She is next to Honoka, who is working her heart out like her life depends on it. She doesn't know how she does it, nor how she doesn't run out of breath. Well, before she used to be so exhausted during training. And now, looking at her, Honoka is full of energy, ready to take on the world. Umi is getting tired herself, but tries her best to be the tough girl she is, though shy on the inside.

By the time dance practice is over, Umi walks over towards the rails and sits against it. She is indeed exhausted, but tries her best not to show it. However, Honoka does notice and grabs a water bottle. She walks over towards her girlfriend and holds it out towards her.

"Here~" the ginger says with a smile.

"Hm? I didn't ask for water, Honoka."

"Puuuu~! I'm only being nice, Umi-chan!" Honoka pouts adorably. "You don't have to be so mean~"

"I'll be fine. Don't worry," Umi turns her head away.

The ginger hums a little, glances at the bottle and then grins. She takes a sip, not even bothering to swallow the water that's inside her mouth and quickly takes Umi's cheek to face her. Before the shy girl can say anything, Honoka's lips are already connected with hers and can feel the water being transferred inside her mouth. She swallows it by instinct. Honoka pulls away and licks a drop on her cheek.

"You want some more~?" the ginger coos softly.

Umi cannot contain herself as she is a blushing mess. "O-one more time…please…"

"Ehehe~! With pleasure~" Honoka takes another sip and kisses her again, transferring the water from inside her mouth to Umi's mouth. The bluenette swallows the water once again by instinct.

"Does it taste good~?" Honoka asks after pulling her away, gazing into her golden orbs.

"T-tastes just like…you…" Umi stutters. "Ahhhh…why am I saying such s-so sh-shameless things all of a sudden!?"

"Because you love me that's why~" Honoka answers as she hugs the shy girl.

"Idiot…"
