Peni stirred to something shuffling on her torso. Looking down, she saw an adorably Gwen Stacy sleeping whilst shifting and nuzzling deeper into her friend's chest, getting more comfortable. Peni was glad that Gwen felt finally at peace compared to earlier when she was worried sick and cried her eyes out. Peni remembered being shot and seeing the look on her face. She also remembered the look on her face when they were in the RV parked outside this summer home. Gwen looked like she was about to break down. The smaller girl wished the blonde never had to experience that again, and unfortunately she did yesterday. But it didn't stop her from wishing she never had to experience it again.

She wants to be Gwen's safety net that the other girl can fall into anytime she feels down. And like how a net wraps around its target, she would wrap her arms and legs around Gwen, squeezing her tightly and tangling their limbs, not letting go until she squeezed out all the bad feelings and filled her to the brim with good ones. And even then, she likely still wouldn't want to let go afterwards.

"…Gwen?" she called out ever so softly, wanting to make sure the other girl was sleeping comfortably and not struggling to do so. There was no response from her. "…Gwe~n?"

…

The only response Peni got was the other girl breathing, which means she was deep asleep. Peni was glad. She leaned down to bury her face into her best friend's soft light hair, breathing in its natural scent that worked like pheromones, making her feel attracted; weak; relaxed; drowsy. Meanwhile, the other girl was letting out very warm breaths into her chest, warming it in more ways than one. Still tired and just feeling way too comfortable and warm everywhere, Peni felt like she couldn't stay awake for much longer.

In the end, she didn't.

Benjamin gave the door a gentle knock. Hearing no response or even a sound for a while, he invited himself in quietly and confirmed the girls were still sleeping. As much as he didn't want to disturb them, it was about time they woke up, otherwise they'll get hungry and mess up their sleeping schedule. He walked to Peni's side and admired the cute cuddle display. It reminded him of when the two were cuddling on the bench. His eyes rested on Peni's console behind her, and he had an idea.

Gently rubbing the little girl's shoulder, he tried waking the little girl. Peni murmured a moan and turned to look at him. Her unfocused half-lidded eyes suggest her mind didn't fully wake up yet, and what she muttered pretty much confirmed it.

"Hmm… Dad?"

That didn't fail to shock him or put a smile on his face. He remembered back when they hadn't met the other Spider-People yet, when it was just the two of them living in this dimension they got dragged into. When seeing him was the first thing she did after waking up, sometimes she would call him Dad while her mind was still hazy and experiencing jet lag after having returned from her dreams. He thought maybe she saw her dad in him, or maybe she saw him as a dad. Not that it bothered him. He thought it was very precious every time that word slipped out of her mouth. But it reminded him of someone whom he missed. And he feared it reminded her of her dad whom she missed just as much.

After Peni woke up more and realised what she said, she got flustered and backtracked like she usually did. "H-Hi, Benjy…"

He thought it was cute as he stroked her hair and whispered. "Hey, there. How're you doing?"

"…Did Aunt May tell you what happened?" she asked back just as quietly, silently purring at the affection.

"Yep, the whole story."

"Then I'm feeling much better. I feel relaxed. It's like I never even had PTSD."

"Well, that's what we're aiming for. You've no idea how glad we are that you're okay. How's Gwen?"

"She's also doing better. She's calm now."

"That's a relief. I can't begin to describe how worried sick she was about you."

Peni frowned. "How was she?"

"Well… on the bus back, she was holding onto your backpack, and then she looked at photos of you two on her phone. And, well… I guess when it all became too much for her, she broke her phone and cried into the backpack. I managed to get her to calm down afterwards."

The image of Gwen doing all those things made Peni feel awful, and she couldn't even be there to hold her. "You said she broke her phone? You mean the smartphone, or the old-fashioned phone May gave us?"

"The smartphone, I'm afraid." He then pointed at the aforementioned old-fashioned phone on Gwen's nightstand. "She left the other one behind."

"…Oh." She felt even worse that Gwen would destroy her own valuable possessions as a way to deal with grief. Peni used that smartphone herself, and she knew it was a perfectly good one. "How did she break it?"

"She just crushed it with her bare hands. Saw the screen shatter and turn off, and then she just tucked it away in her pocket like it was nothing.

Peni hummed. She'll restore it for Gwen. She just hoped the data on the phone was salvageable.

"Thanks for cheering her up. We'll all be by your side during the treatment."

"Thanks, Benjy. By the way, I can tell you were very worried yourself."

"…I was, but it sounds like you're trying to get at something."

"I can smell your breath. You smoked."

"…Oh."

"When?"

"On the bus."

"Seriously? Have some consideration for others."

"I did. I was on top of the bus."

"Oh." Peni giggled as she pictured it. "Well, I'll let it slide since I worried you guys a lot." She looked at the window to see the sun hadn't risen yet. "Anyway, why'd you wake me up so early in the morning?"

To her confusion, the man chuckled. "It's not a new day yet. You and Gwen slept as soon as we got back this noon. It's evening now."

"…Oh." In other words, the sun didn't rise yet because it had just set. "Hehe…"

"I came to let you know dinner will be ready soon."

"What're we having?"

"Rice mixed with pieces of chicken and vegetables."

Peni mentally drooled at the image of the food in her mind. She then turned to Gwen in her arms and gently stroked her hair to wake her up.

Gwen slowly opened her eyes to the girl's chest right in her face. Taking the hair stroking as a sign of affection, she gladly accepted it and was on her way back to sleep. It wasn't until she heard her name when she finally turned up to see Peni smiling at her. "Finally awake, sleepyhead?"

Gwen, very much wanting to sleep more, moaned an unintelligible reply and then smothered her face back into the chest.

"Huh?"

She gathered more energy to get her head out and repeat herself more coherently, "Shut up, you're the sleepyhead." before shoving her face back where it belonged.

Peni giggled. "Come on, we're gonna have dinner soon."

Gwen's reply came out muffled as she wasn't bothered to take her face out again. "Not hungry."

"How about you have your dinner here?" Benjamin offered, knowing the girls wanted to stay where they were.

Peni did feel too comfortable to get out as well, so she accepted. "Sounds great."

For a while, the taller girl looked like she was still in deep sleep, though she eventually yawned and spoke. "…Isn't it too hot in here? I'm sweating."

"That's probably because you're still in your hoodie and sweatpants."

"Oh… Forgot about that." reluctantly getting out of Peni's comforting grasp, Gwen stood up and went to lock the door before taking off her hoodie in front of the bed.

Peni felt excitement swelling up and her heart beginning to race like earlier this morning when she watched her change in front of the camera. This time, Gwen was doing right in front of her, so now there will be more to see than through a compressed live video. Gwen still felt nervous just like last time, but she felt like she was beginning to get used to it. It didn't stop the heat growing on her face though. To Peni's surprise, when the hoodie and sweatpants came off, the spider suit was shown underneath. "You were still wearing that, too? You must've been boiling…"

"Yeah. Couldn't be bothered to take it off on the way back." Unzipping and pulling down the spider suit, the unrevealing sports bra came into view again, as well as her skin glistening with sweat. But the real treat was when the lower half of the suit came off, showing off her full buns that were drenched in sweat and tightly-hugged by panties that couldn't cover enough for its purpose, accompanied by very plump thighs that also dripped with sweat. Gwen heard the other girl make an audible gasp when the lower half was exposed, and a smile crept on her face from the compliment. She wanted to see how cute and flustered the other girl was being, but when she turned to face her, her blood ran cold at the unexpected sight. "What's wrong?!"

"Huh?" Peni was confused at the other girl suddenly rushing over to her with newfound fear seemingly out of nowhere.

"Your nose is bleeding!"

The flushed girl wiped below her nose to see a bit of blood on her hand, and she got even more flushed at the implication. "Oh."

"Oh?!" Gwen was beginning to get overwhelmed with worry. "Is it PTSD?! Wait there!"

Before the blonde could sprint out to call the rest of the gang over in just her underwear, Peni stopped her. "No, don't go! It has nothing to do with the PTSD, don't worry! And it's only a bit of blood. This is just a reaction."

That managed to get most of the worry out of Gwen. "Do you have an allergy?"

Being already shy from watching the girl undress, Peni covered her face at the thought of explaining. "It's not that! It's… It's embarrassing."

As adorable as Gwen found Peni being all flustered, she didn't want to make her uncomfortable. So, she sat beside her smaller friend and wrapped an arm around her, caressing her at the shoulder. "It's okay, buddy. You can tell me. I won't laugh at you or anything."

"…Um… Uh…" The tender look Gwen gave comforted Peni. But as she tried looking back, she could get distracted as her eyes would frequently lower to the naked body. She could feel the warmth from Gwen's bare side as it was pressed against her clothed side. She wished no clothing was in the way at all so she could feel the skin directly. She bet it would feel much better, warmer, softer, smoother.

Gwen noticed her being distracted. "Would it help if I put something on?"

"N-No, you don't need to. Um… so, about the nosebleed… It's just a thing we sometimes have in my dimension, when we find something…" she covered her face that glowed pink, though its brightness practically radiated through her hands, "…really sexy."

Gwen was surprised and very flattered. Playing with her hair, she flashed a rosy grin. "Oh! Wow, dude. Thanks for the big compliment."

"…You're welcome…"

They remained silent for a bit until the blonde spoke. "So, you don't have a headache or anything like that?"

Peni reassured while still beet red and shy. "No, this isn't that kind of nosebleed. It's just a harmless expression."

"Okay. Good." She crawled over the girl to get the tissue box on the nightstand. This turned Peni on even more when she had a closeup view of Gwen's body in her sports bra, making more blood spurt from her nose. She hoped the girl above would just drop her whole weight onto her and stuff her boobs in her face. Unfortunately, Gwen moved back with the tissue box, and she tried to wipe off the blood on her friend's face. But as long as she was still naked, the bleeding wouldn't cease. "I guess I should put something on before you bleed out."

Peni giggled before the other girl stood up and went to the wardrobe to retrieve a towel to dry herself with. Her eyes were glued to her ass as the taller girl walked away, and she was awed by the sight of the butt jiggling. "Woah…" she let out another gasp before shutting her mouth with her hands with a squeak, not used to openly expressing her attraction. Gwen heard that, and she turned to look at her. The blonde was also beet red, but she gave a smile. Peni returned the smile. She found this closeup view to be very stimulating for comfort. The smaller girl rubbed her legs together as she could feel her loins getting worked up from the voyeurism. Besides the blood leaking from her nose, she could feel herself leaking from elsewhere, and by familiarity, she was sure that area was leaking a different substance…

After drying off her sweaty body with the towel, Gwen put on her oversized hand-me-downs from May, unintentionally covering a majority of her figure. "God, this is so much better." she commented aloud, appreciating the breeze and softness of the baggy clothing gently wrapping her.

She then returned to the bed to finish cleaning the blood off her companion's face, soaking some of the tissues in water for the more stubborn stains as well as for her nostrils. "Thanks," Peni said, her voice hyponasal due to her nose being stuffed with wet tissues.

Gwen chuckled at the change in her voice. "No problem." Once there was no more blood in sight, she then got up close and personal with her companion, resting her head on her shoulder and holding her hand a little tighter than usual. "So, uh… How're you feeling, buddy? You alright?"

"Yeah, I'm feeling great. Are you feeling better?"

"Totally." Gwen answered calmly before deeply sighing. "That sleep earlier was the best I've had in forever."

"Same. I bet it'll feel a whole lot better when my waist gets better. That way we can, you know, cuddle properly."

"I bet. I'm probably never gonna let go of you even when we're not sleeping."

Peni giggled. "Is that a warning or a promise?" She was happy to see Gwen smiling at that, though she finally questioned the tighter than usual handhold from her. "You're on edge, aren't you? What's on your mind?"

Gwen looked at her in the eyes for a moment. "Sorry. To be honest, I'm still a little shaken up about all the crazy shit that's happened today. It's just still a lot to take in, you know?"

Seeing Gwen still vulnerable and in need of comfort made Peni feel for her. "Hey, don't be sorry. It's okay." she cooed, signalling at her chest for Gwen to sink into again, and she did, relaxing in the closeness, softness, warmth, and the soothing heartbeat. "It's okay." Peni repeated, stroking the blonde hair with her free hand, "Everything that happened today is over. Things are back to normal now. Tomorrow will be like any other day, and we'll spend it together like always. Same for after tomorrow, and so on. Everything's gonna be okay. Just keep focusing on my heartbeat."

Gwen let out a sigh, feeling more at peace with the girl she really likes. "Thanks."

"Anytime. I'm always here for you."

Gwen turned her face up to look at her, and they both gazed at one another in silence, indulging in each other's comforting presence.

They both felt it; that similar feeling to the one they had before they slept, when they figured out they had a psychic link. While Gwen shared her feeling of comfort and happiness with Peni that time, this time was a little different: both girls, already feeling content, shared those feelings with each other at the same time and, as a result, amplified each other's feelings of contentment. It surprised them, but they pretty much know about it at this point, so they said nothing of it and just enjoyed the amplified contentment together.

They could stay like this until they would fall back asleep, and they would have if it weren't for the knocking on the door. "Come in." Peni said. Benjamin entered with dinner on a bed tray and placed it above Peni's lap. Both girls were surprised at the portion size as it looked like it was enough to fill two people. "That's a lot."

"Well, it should make up for you missing brunch. You were practically fasting all day. Give a shout if you want dinner as well, Gwen."

The taller girl hummed hoarsely before he left. Peni ate a spoonful of the rice that was still steaming and beamed in satisfaction. Her taste buds were tingling. "Yummy."

"Can I try?" Gwen asked in curiosity. She was fed a spoonful, and then hummed in pleasure at the taste. "The salt makes it so good."

"Mm-hmm." She took another bite and then held another spoonful to Gwen who gladly ate it and seemed satisfied. That made Peni happy. "Hey, wanna continue that anime with me?"

"Yeah."

Standing her console on the bed tray in front of the plate, Peni resumed an anime they started recently. During the screening, she alternated between eating and spoon-feeding her friend. They were glad they had water, because the salt was starting to make them thirsty.

Eventually, the plate was empty, but Peni was a bit disappointed. "I'm still kinda hungry…"

"I'll bring my own plate and share it with you. I did have like half of yours."

Peni smiled at that. "Sounds good."

Sitting up from her friend's shoulder, Gwen stretched her arms and back. With how calm and relaxed she looked doing it, Peni smiled at the peaceful sight. After Gwen sighed from a satisfying stretch, she suggested, "You know, it's been a while since we stretched together. Wanna do it after dinner?"

"Yeah."

"Awesome. Be right back."

"Kay." Being left alone for a bit, Peni went to do her own thing on her console until she heard from Bitsy who was still somewhere in the room.

≈Benjamin left a surprise for you in your camera roll!≈

Being intrigued, Peni went to open the camera roll on her console, and what she saw made her blush and giggle. It was a photo of her and Gwen sleeping from earlier, with the latter snuggled into the other girl's chest. I'm gonna make this one of my wallpapers.

Gwen entered the dining room where everybody else was, save for Benjamin, lounging around the dining table. "Morning, Gwen." May greeted jokingly, "Slept well?"

"Yeah, I did." Gwen grinned.

"You came for dinner?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Right this way." May led her to the kitchen where Benjamin was, doing the dishes. While May prepared the girl's dinner, she asked, "How're you and Peni doing?"

"We're doing good."

"Good. I'm glad things are back to normal."

"Yeah…"

"You don't sound too happy."

"I'm just tired. A lot happened today."

May frowned and went to hug the girl. "Aw, come here." Gwen hugged back tightly and felt a lot better. Hugs are just one of her most favourite things.

She went to squeeze Benjamin as well. "Thanks for making me feel better on the bus…"

Taking off the wet gloves, he squeezed her back. "No problem. Told you things would work out."

"So," May asked, "did Peni like the food?"

"Yeah, we shared it." Gwen answered before ending the hug, "It was really nice."

"Oh, well I'm glad to hear that. …So, I had a chat earlier with a therapist who used to have my late Peter as his client."

"Did he know Peter was also Spider-Man?"

"Sure did. He used to be one of the only people who knew that, and he kept it confidential."

"That's so cool. So what did you talk about?"

"Oh, only about how there are now several more Spider-people who got dragged into here. And mainly about Peni and her PTSD."

Gwen felt hopeful. "You mean he's gonna help her?"

"That's right. She's already gone through too much, so we decided he'll come soon, maybe after tomorrow. He's also a doctor, so he'll check on her injury as well. What she needs right now is to unwind and take time off. You don't mind if she stops working on your gun till she gets better, do you, Benjamin?"

"Of course not." the man smiled, "She comes first any day."

May smiled back and turned to Gwen. "Maybe if she wants, you could take her down to town tomorrow and let her have fun?"

The taller girl nodded. "Sure. I'll ask."

"Before you do that," Benjamin inputted, "Keep in mind that before Peni and I met the rest of you and it was just us two, she rarely wanted to leave the hotel room. She seems to be an indoor person, so don't expect her to willingly agree to a trip to town."

"Okay."

May handed her the food with a smile. "Now get going. And save some space for dessert. I've been baking a cake."

Gwen eventually made her way back to the bedroom with the tray and another portion of the food, placing it above Peni's lap. "Here you go. We're gonna have cake for dessert, so don't get too full."

As expected of the girl with the sweet tooth, Peni got excited. "I wanna skip straight to the cake."

"You mean you don't want any more of this rice?"

"Yep. What about you?"

"Well, I don't mind going straight to dessert." she said before taking the tray back, "Okay, be right back."

"Kay!"

A minute or so later, Gwen returned with a generous slice of sponge cake, placing it on the other girl's lap again. After Gwen laid back and rested her head against the smaller girl, she noticed Peni looking nervous and smiling with a blush. Gwen couldn't help the heat getting to her face as well at the thought of what could be on the other girl's mind. "So, uh, what's got you all red?"

"Ehehe… I've been thinking. I fed you last time, so… it's only fair if you feed me, right?"

The blonde reflected the rosy smile as she took the spoon. "Sure." Holding out a spoon, she watched the cute display of Peni eating from it.

"It's good!" the little girl said with her mouth full. Gwen took a spoon herself and had to agree.

When Peni was offered another spoonful, she took it while maintaining eye contact. Being spoon-fed by Gwen whose face was only about six inches apart from her own seemed so intimate that the little girl couldn't help blush, yet she didn't want to look at anything else. The flushed blonde gazed back at the girl chewing the food. Cute…

She then noticed a small crumb of cake that managed to get stuck on the smaller girl's cheek. "Got cake on my face?" Peni asked, noticing where the eyes were looking.

"Yeah, just a bit." Using her fingers, Gwen picked off the crumb and ate it. She noted how soft and smooth the cheek felt, and how it somehow made the cake taste better.

"Hehe, thanks."

"Sure thing. So… wanna go to town tomorrow?"

"We're going back? Is May's house fixed?" Peni hoped that wasn't the case. She really liked this holiday home.

"It's not that. To be honest, I don't even know what's up with that place right now. I was thinking about just the two of us going around town, for fun."

"Oh, okay. Sure. What do you wanna do there?"

Gwen shrugged. "Whatever you want. My treat. Thought it would do you good after what you've been through. You deserve a break, you know?"

Peni hummed and, after a surprisingly quick consideration, made up her mind. "I wanna stay here."

"Okay."

"I'm kind of a homebody, you know?"

"Homebody?"

"It means I prefer being cooped up at home than being outside. So, I think I'll enjoy my break better here. There is a movie I'm interested in, but it won't be in cinemas for a few days. But if you want to, we can still go."

"Oh, don't worry about me. All I want is to just be with you, so I'm cool with whatever you wanna do." I guess she is an indoor person like Benjamin said.

Peni smiled. "Well, I want us to be cooped up together tomorrow."

"Awesome."

"Let's continue the anime."

Some time later whilst watching, Gwen had been keeping her arm wrapped around Peni's and their fingers intertwined at the end. She eventually commented about it. "Hey, Peni?"

"Hmm?"

"I can feel your heartbeat through your fingers."

"…I can feel yours too. It's not distracting, is it?"

She shook her head. "I could get used to this. It feels really nice."

"It does." Peni said with a hum.

A while later, when they got into the more casual moments in the anime, as Gwen was about to eat the cake, Peni grabbed onto the spoon and shoved it into her mouth. Gwen chuckled. "That was mine."

Peni giggled with her cheeks full. "You started it. You ate cake from my cheek earlier, remember?"

"Dude, that was like a crumb."

"It was still from my spoon, so that means you ate my food."

"…Fair enough." Gwen seemingly indeed the light-hearted dispute for now. If that's how you wanna play it…

Gwen held a generous spoonful to Peni. Seeing the smaller girl innocently anticipating the bite made her feel a little bad for what she was about to do, but it was all in good fun. Before Peni could close her mouth around the spoon, the blonde pulled it away just in time and tried to act casual while watching the anime. Peni chalked it off as unintentional, but when she tried to lean in towards the spoon, Gwen moved it away and put it in her own mouth.

Peni knew that was on purpose, and she tried reaching for the spoon. "You better spit that out!"

Holding the spoon away and carefully laughing to avoid choking, Gwen then taunted with her mouth full. "It's already in my mouth! What're you gonna do about it?"

Well, I'll kiss you! I'll use my tongue and take all the cake! That was the first idea to come to Peni's mind, and naturally, she hesitated into a blush as she thought about whether she'd go along with it. While she wasn't at all opposed to it, she thought that would be moving things too fast. So, she snatched the spoon off Gwen instead. "You've lost your privileges as the spoon-feeder, and I'll make sure you get teeny tiny portions!"

"Alright, how about I let you have the next few bites and then we call it even?"

She hummed before handing the spoon back. "Alright."

The feeding remained fair between the two for the rest of the dessert.

When the plate was empty, Peni sighed. "That was good."

Gwen smiled at the sight of her. The peaceful look on her made it seem as if nothing bad had happened at all today.

Peni was about to opt for a cuddle again when the thought of it reminded her of something. "Oh, Gwen, check this out." Grabbing her console, Peni visited her camera roll again and showed her friend the photo Benjamin took of them two earlier.

Gwen took the console in her hands for a better look, and felt just as happy looking at it as she was when she saw the photo of them cuddling on the bench. She loved it so much that she was about to hug the console to her chest. She should tell Peni to send a copy to her phone like she did with all the other photos.

…Oh. Right. She forgot it's broken.

Peni noticed a troubled look that replaced the joyful look that Gwen had a few seconds ago. She sort of figured it out. "Don't worry. I'll take a look at it."

"Huh?" Gwen looked at the other girl who held her reassuring smile.

"Your phone. I'll take a look at it for you."

"…You know?"

"Did you think I wouldn't find out?"

"I guess not."

"Just give it to me tomorrow and I'll restore it back to good as new."

"What? No, not tomorrow. That's supposed to be your day off; you know, to relax, and stay cooped up."

Peni scratched her head. "I thought you'd want it asap."

"It's okay. I can wait. So can Benjamin, so you don't have to work on his gun tomorrow."

"Okay. …Well, you can use my console whenever you want."

Gwen smiled softly before giving a hug. "Thanks. It… really means a lot that you'd fix my phone."

Peni simply smiled and melted into the cuddle. "Anytime."

"You still up for stretching?"

"I'm kinda tired."

"That's okay. You wanna sleep now?"

"Hmm. Let's do stretches tomorrow, okay? And we'll stay in bed all day."

"Yeah. It'll be like when you had a cold."

"Hehe, yeah."

Tomorrow would be their chance for that talk they've been waiting for, to learn more about each other, their own dimensions, and how they handled living here before meeting.

"So," Gwen suggested, heat growing on her face, "I've cuddled my head into your chest. Um… Wanna try the other way around?"

Thinking about the implications, Peni's eyes were glued to the other girl's chest, and she got red too. "Like, with my head in your chest?"

"Yeah. It's only fair, right?" She took Peni staring at her chest as a compliment, but it didn't stop her from feeling shy and heated on her face.

Gwen's chest, clothed by the oversized shirt, looked warm and cosy. The fabric was draped over her chest and showed the shape of her bigger breasts, which looked so soft. And here she was inviting Peni into that area. Peni had to gulp as she would accept that invitation. "Yeah. Okay."

Gwen helped her friend lay on her side before doing it herself, and she made sure to move Peni's pillow lower so that the smaller girl's head was at level with her chest. Gwen then wrapped her arm around the other girl and shifted herself closer until Peni found herself muffled up in warmth, comfort, softness and boobage.

That area quickly became the warmest and softest thing she could feel. But another thing she felt was Gwen's heartbeat. Rapid yet gentle pulses originated from the chest, and expanded into even softer pulses from within the breasts. The longer she remained in there, the slower the heart rate went until it was slow enough to suggest relaxation. She could understand the comfort Gwen felt from being in her chest last time. It was therapeutic, and she eventually found herself free of any fear. It served as a constant reminder that Gwen is here for her, and as long as that was the case, then all is well. All Peni could focus on was the girl in front of her, her heartbeat, and her bosom. She felt turned on, but also tranquil.

A while of silence had passed, save for gentle breathing, with Gwen looking down the entire time. Wrapping her arm around Peni's head and holding her against her chest felt a lot more comfortable than she thought. And it felt really nice when the smaller girl's arms snaked around her torso from under her arms and hugged. She thought the sight of Peni down there suited her. It made her look smaller and cute. She could feel her chest being warmed from Peni's breaths, and it felt very nice. Gwen felt Peni sharing her feelings of tranquillity through their psychic link, and it made her feel even more relaxed. She eventually spoke. "You doing alright down there?"

Peni turned her face up to look at Gwen from her chest, and even though she looked rosy, she still looked very relaxed. Even her voice came out soft. "…Mm-hmm… How about you?"

"Yeah, it feels really nice."

"…You know… I was scared of what would happen in the future. Having to go through the treatment. Going up against and seeing… Kingpin again someday."

"I can imagine."

"…But being here in your chest, I don't feel nearly as scared. Maybe not at all. I feel so safe. Was this how you felt in my chest?"

"Pretty much, yeah. Feeling you were safe made me feel safe too. Can you feel my heartbeat?"

"Yeah. It feels super nice. Also… Your boobs feel amazing." She felt Gwen's heart beat faster at that. She liked having that effect on her.

Gwen broke into a chuckle and blushed. "Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying them. Try not to suffocate, okay?"

"Suffocating in Gwen boobs? I wouldn't mind going out like that."

"Wow." Gwen responded after chuckling again.

Humming, Peni turned her face back down towards the chest and rubbed her face from side to side like she was very slowly motorboating. Gwen simply watched with a rosy grin and stroked the smaller girl's messy hair.

Eventually, Peni looked back up. "Um… You still up for watching a few more episodes before we sleep? While we stay like this?"

"Sure. Sounds good."

They remained cuddled in the same position and resumed their anime, though Peni found it hard to remain focused with the soft, warm, beating chest pressed against her, lulling her bit by bit.

It wasn't until they got to the anime eyecatch when Gwen noticed Peni hadn't reacted to any of the recent scenes like she usually does. Taking a look down, she smiled at Peni who was adorably and peacefully sleeping. Leaning her head lower, she pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. Night, Peni.

Taking the console in her hand, she decided to end the episode there. They can repeat it tomorrow. She'll just do some browsing until she'd fall asleep herself. First though, she wanted to take a photo of her and Peni sleeping like this.
