Haruka sat in the kitchen, her lower lip sticking out in a pout. Her eyes were glued to the doorway that lead into the living room. She kept staring, even when Setsuna blocked her view.

"What's wrong?" Setsuna asked and started to make some tea for herself. Haruka sat in silence for a moment before answering.

"Michiru isn't paying any attention to me. And she's hogging Hotaru all to herself!"

"What makes you think so?"

"Well, earlier I tried to get a kiss from Michiru, but she said she had to feed Hotaru. Then I tried to get her to watch a movie with me, but then Hotaru woke up from her nap. And later I offered to play with the kid so that Michiru could go and paint or something, but she wouldn't let me!" Haruka complained. She let out a deep sigh that Setsuna knew meant 'I'm lonely and I need my girlfriend'.

"Aw. Are you feeling lonely?" Setsuna teased and got her favorite mug from the cabinet. Haruka nodded, still staring at the doorway.

"Then tell her how you feel. I'm sure she'll understand that you feel sad that you're not getting all of the attention 24/7." Haruka got up from her seat and walked into the living room with a determined look on her face.

Michiru was sitting on the floor with Hotaru lying next to her. The small girl was holding her feet with her tiny hands and laughing at something. Haruka felt something melt in her heart, but that still didn't erase the loneliness.

"Michiru? I want to hug you so bad right now," she said. Michiru kept her attention on Hotaru and leaned down to kiss the girl's nose.

"You can hug me if you want to. You don't need permission," she replied without even glancing at Haruka. The racer stood still. This was unfair. She deserved love and affection. Yet Michiru was only focusing on Hotaru. Haruka almost wanted to be mad at the child, but she couldn't even look at the girl without feeling her heart ache.

"You're being unfair," she pouted. Michiru turned her head to look up at Haruka.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't even pay attention to me anymore. You only care about Hotaru." Michiru looked at Haruka's serious look before she started giggling.

"Come and sit here," she said and patted the spot on the floor next to her. Haruka sat down, the frown still on her face.

"Look at this cute girl. Even though she has stolen my heart, I still love you. That will never change. You'll just have to learn how to share that love," Michiru explained calmly like she was talking to a child. Haruka stared at the baby in front of her. Hotaru was now trying to reach up to her with her tiny fingers. That adorable smile made Haruka break.

"Fine. But you owe me a kiss and a hug," she said and was just about to pick up Hotaru when the child was picked up. Haruka turned her head up and saw Setsuna standing next to her.

"I'll watch the baby so that Michiru can pay her debt," Setsuna said and turned her attention to Hotaru.

"Shall we go to the kitchen so that mama can have some tea? Yeah? Are you hungry? Oh, you're so cute," Setsuna cooed at Hotaru and the two disappeared into the kitchen. Michiru placed her hand on Haruka's cheek.

"Are you still jealous?" she asked and looked straight into Haruka's eyes.

"Yes, but I know how you can make me feel better," Haruka said and pulled Michiru closer, pressing their lips together. Later she would have a little chat with Hotaru about how they would split Michiru's attention. Well, it would most likely end up with Haruka just cooing at Hotaru since the girl was still too young to understand, but still, she needed to set some rules. This was her girlfriend, after all. For now, though, she would focus on kissing Michiru.
