Twenty-four
Touko yawned as she opened her eyes slowly letting out a scream as she saw Bianca's large eyes waiting as she backed up sliding off the bed. Bianca laughed bouncing a bit as Ro did she huffed and moved to push herself up.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Sorry I told the other's I'd wake you up and that used to work when we were little, then all of sudden it's like you could tell when I was near." she giggled as Touko cocked her head wondering if that had to do with the testing.
Bianca watched her as she turned to grab her clothes moving to throw a pillow at her, she grinned and stuck her tongue out at her she looked down as she called out of the door that their dear friends were jerks for sending her up.
Only met with what laughter she could hear she moved to get dressed. Bianca blushed she had settled on underwear and a tanktop that showed her light curves. No matter how many dates she went on even when she briefly dated Gary it was always the same, a waste of time. She only mentioned that she didn't want to talk about her recent break up she had left Touko only to come back and see her on the phone.
It left her feeling a little abandoned.
She only wanted one person and it just had to be like this, she bit her lip before she jumped out of bed to hug Touko from behind.
She glanced over her shoulder at her.
"Don't pout, I'm not mad at you..."
"Do you really like this guy Touko? Are we never going to see you again when you can leave."
Touko smiled at her.
"Yes I like him...we're close."
She looked up resting her chin on her shoulder.
"Closer than you and me?"
"I don't know about that, I don't pick favorites."
"Touko don't marry him."
Her gaze widened, Ro cocked his head paws on his cheeks he was as confused as she was.
"I won't disappear just because I marry him."
"But you did before hand...where have you been?"
"Just..bonding I guess, look you'll see me okay?"
"Touko please..."
Touko shook her head as she shifted away to hold her at arms length Bianca still pouted face red, she smiled at her a bit wider as she pinched her cheek.
"Come on smile you're the sunny one remember?"
Bianca sniffed.
"Hey we can hang out another time when the snow doesn't keep us locked in just you and me okay? So cheer up?"
Bianca smiled.
"It's cute how out of the loop you can be...too bad I can't make it look cute too huh?"
Touko cocked her head as she poked her nose before turning to walk out of the door.
"Hurry up we have waffles."
She closed the door behind her and leaned against the door pouting at the floor.
"Stupid...it's the only time you ever are." she pushed away from the door and went down the hall, Touko sighed having not heard her whispered frustrations.
"Am I missing something Ro?"
He bounced until he fell on the pillow before moving to get up patting his stomach excitedly of course breakfast was all it seemed she was missing. She grinned and hurried to get dressed she opened her arms so he could waddle over to jump into her waiting hold.
"Let's go eat huh buddy?"
"Teddiursa!"
She wondered if Dawn or Cheren would know what was wrong with Bianca.
…...
Ghetsis shifted he couldn't concentrate the Triad looked in for him he saw how she put her arms around her. He cringed at the thought of her being near her, it didn't seem like Touko really understood what her friend wanted, but it wouldn't be too hard for her to just relax and explain. He wasn't sure if Touko would remember how she felt about him, when it would happen. The way she was now maybe it would be easier to give Bianca a chance.
She had known her much longer.
Would just want her to feel comfortable while she didn't completely know who he was.
He stopped as his head ached, he felt more than a stab of insecurity he needed to be there he stood slowly snow or not he was going to see them. They didn't know his face he could cover his tracks with the Triad and leave with them without a trace if he wanted to.
Which he would, mostly.
