Haruka groaned when she felt Hotaru leap onto her back, faking pain as she fell over face down onto the bed.
"You broke me." She groaned, not wanting to burst into laughter though it was hard to keep a straight face when she could hear the girl's laughter.
"Sorry!"
Hotaru giggled, climbing off of Haruka who rolled over on her back, faking a moan.
"I am not getting up." The blonde stated with a smile before grabbing Hotaru and playfully pulling her down onto the bed with her before adding playfully "and I won't let you!"
The two continued to playfully banter for some time, their laughter causing Setsuna to check in on them though she just grinned and walked past the room.
Those kids aren't even old enough to fill that role but yet that little girl is thriving thanks to them.
She thought as she heard a muffled curse come from a room nearby.
It had been a week since Haruka had been back in school and—after much unneeded nervousness—Michiru had asked Setsuna to move in to help with Hotaru.
This worked out for the most part since neither of the younger girls had to quit any of the clubs they were involved in and Setsuna not only got a chance to rest while they were at school but she still worked on nights at the clinic.
"Need help?" she asked, making Michiru jolt slightly since she seemed to try to avoid Setsuna as much as possible.
"No…It's fine."
Setsuna could tell that was a lie, especially since Michiru seemed to be in pain.
"No offense but stop lying to me and tell me what's hurting you?" Setsuna replied in a concerned yet soft tone.
"Just my stomach…It's nothing major."
The blush on the aqua haired girl's face told Setsuna all she needed to know.
"Go lie down…I can clean up here you just worry 'bout yourself." Setsuna stated, understanding why Haruka had been staying mostly out of Michiru's way today.
Michiru nodded, still blushing a bit as she left the room.
Setsuna chuckled as she started to get to work on putting down the base coat of paint in what would be Michiru's new studio.
Michiru was kind of glad that they were starting to feel like a family, even if she wasn't use to someone being as open minded as Setsuna seemed to be.
She walked into the bedroom that she and Haruka shared only to find her daughter and wife horse playing.
The scene brought a smile to her face as she watched them though soon Haruka's attention was on Michiru.
"You okay?" She asked, concerned for her girlfriend who just smiled.
"I'm fine…" Michiru answered with a grin before adding "do you two think I could lie down without you two attacking me?"
This earned a laugh from them both.
Setsuna didn't hear a sound coming from anywhere in the large house, causing her to worry however as she walked past the room that Haruka shared with Michiru her concern turned into a grin because there on the bed was all three of the younger girls, sleeping.
Michiru's hair was sprawled out as an arm was draped over Hotaru's sleeping form while Hotaru lay on one of Haruka's arms, though both teenagers where holding hands in their sleep.
Setsuna silently went to her room and quickly found her camera before returning to the room and snapping a picture.
They'll kill me but that was just too cute to pass up. I think Michiru would like to see that though.
