Softer to me
The house is dark and in silence when she enters.
She should have expected it and yet she doesn't, sighing heavily as she drops her bag somewhere at the entrance and takes her shoes off to then leave her coat hanging loosely on the coat stand, almost at the verge of falling off it.
She lets out another heavy sigh and wanders through the dark corridors of the apartment, barely turning the dim light on as she reaches the living room and flops dead on the couch.
Her sigh turns into a groan as she buries her face into the pillow, inhaling the sweet Sakura scent of her girlfriend that still lingers on it and in the air.
Yoshiko misses Riko, and the fact that her day at work was shitty doesn't help at all.
First of all, she tripped over some cables and spilled her coffee all over her desk, staining the paperwork she had and ruining her beloved keyboard, resulting in an angry reprimand about it from her boss.
Then she had to stay until late to finish the work she had to get done for the next day all because her mishap, and lastly, when she finally got to go home, she missed the last bus and had to go walking a good part of the way back home until she could get another different bus.
Yoshiko just sighs for what it feels the nth time in the few minutes she has been at home and buries her face more into the pillow, groaning and closing her eyes to rest, feeling completely drained off all energy while accidently falling asleep.
She wakes up half-asleep with the jingle of keys in the lock of the front door, before she hears a light movement and footsteps making their way to the living room.
She hears a quiet giggle, making her smile against the pillow meanwhile she pretends to still be asleep. Then, she feels a light weight on her back, followed suit by a kiss being pressed against her cheek.
- Yocchaaaaan – Riko whispers her nickname gently.
- Hmmh? – she breathes out, enjoying the soothing Sakura scent enveloping her.
- Are you okay?
Another kiss is pressed against her neck before Riko nuzzles it, slightly tickling her.
- Yeah.
- Are you sure? – Riko asks her softly, intertwining their hands and Yoshiko can only sigh again, this time contentedly.
- I'm just tired, it's been a shitty and long day – she says distressed, feeling Riko squeezing her hand.
- It's okay, it's over now. Do you want to talk about it though?
Yoshiko smiles against the pillow before she turns around on the couch so Riko ends up resting on her chest, wrapping her tightly in her arms.
- Nope.
Riko just giggles and nuzzles her nose cutely.
- Maybe a kiss will make it better – the burgundy haired girl says giddily, making Yoshiko's smile widen yet feign a pout.
- Just one?
Riko giggles more and captures Yoshiko's lips in a gentle and deep kiss. She barely has time to pull away when Yoshiko kisses her again, eliciting more giggles from her.
- Yocchan! – Riko exclaims between giggles, hitting her shoulder playfully.
Yoshiko can't help but giggle too and squeezes her more in her arms, sharing another sweet kiss.
She doesn't care any longer if her life is hard or her days are shitty as long as she can come back home and be pampered with kisses and love from her lovely girlfriend.
