Your Touch

Chisato buried her face onto the soft pillows, moving her body closer to the nearest source of heat in front of her, curling her right arm used as a pillow to pull in that warm body before stretching it out as she continued to spoon her.

Crimson eyes lazily stared at that white back, lightly covered by those soft and sweet smelling black hair as she pressed her face on them.

Chisato grabbed the soft white sheets with her left hand slowly pulling it up to cover their naked bodies before lightly trailing her palm on the warm body’s left shoulder.

Her eyes landed on the thin mark running down that shoulder. She gently touched it, trailing her finger up and down the already healed wound before pressing her lips on it.

“Mm… Chisato…?” Takina opened her eyes as she slowly looked at the blonde her on her back.

“This…” Chisato pressed her cheek onto Takina’s back. “…It was from that time, wasn’t it…?”

Takina looked at Chisato’s outstretched arm in front of her and softly played with those fingers with her own. She looked back to that time… If she had made a mistake, if she couldn’t break their fall, then they wouldn’t be here right now. “…Yes.”

“It must have hurt a lot back then… I’m sorry…” Chisato pressed her lips onto Takina’s wound as she closed her eyes and rested her nose onto it. “…Thank you.” She curled up her fight arm across Takina’s shoulders as she hugged her tightly, burying her face onto that black hair. “Does it still hurt?”

Takina shook her head, as she reached for Chisato’s head near her shoulders with her right hand, gently patting her forehead.

“That’s good.” Chisato closed her eyes, as she wrapped her left arm around Takina’s body.

Takina smiled as she gently parted herself from the spoon bear hug and turned around to face her. “What are you thinking about?”

“Hm?” Chisato blinked as she pulled Takina into another tight embrace, their foreheads touching. “…If there’s away to completely heal the wound and the scar.”

“Personally… I don’t mind having it. It’s like a mark that reminds me of finally being able to save you.” Takina closed her eyes as Chisato nuzzled her. “Anything else?”

“…How you’ve grown so much… and how sexy you were last night…?” Chisato gave her a cheeky smile, as Takina pursed her lips pulling her head away. “Takina.”

“If another perverted thing is coming out of your mouth, I’m not listening.” Takina glared at her as she grabbed that exploring hand on her butt.

“…I love you.” Chisato smiled at her softly. “Thank you for looking for me. For… still wanting to be with me.”

Takina’s eyes widened, completely caught off-guard by the straightforward words. She wrapped her arms around Chisato’s body as she nuzzled her face onto the crook of Chisato’s neck and shoulder. “…I thought you were going to say something else, it scared me a little.”

“…Then, I want to apologize for that.” Chisato tightly hugged her body as she kissed her hair. “I’ll be living a long life with you. I won’t say anything like, giving up on life anymore. We already agreed to move forward, yeah?”

Takina nodded onto Chisato’s body.

“So… can’t we really do it once more this morning?”

Takina lifted her head from Chisato’s shoulders as she looked at that cheeky smile before her. “You, really…” She closed her eyes before sighing. “…It’s just for… today…”

Their lips gently connected into a soft kiss, parting slightly to look into each other’s eyes with a smile, before diving in for another, sweeter one.

“Chisato!” Takina stomped towards Chisato who just finished handing out a drink to a customer from the window of their mobile lycoreco truck.

“Eh? Wha? What? What? Why are you looking angry?” Chisato blinked rapidly as she held both her hands in front of her in defense. “Aren’t you gonna put on your usual pony tai–“

“From today on, for two weeks, you cannot kiss, nor hug me, and I’ll be sleeping on a different bed during it!” Takina, fuming, said what she had to say and stomped away.

“Eh? Eh? Takinaaaa! Wait! Whyyyyy?” Chisato chased after her before running into Mizuki who only had her arms on her waist.

Mizuki only raised an eyebrow at her, then pointed at the side of her own neck. Chisato looked there and didn’t find anything. “Not mine. Her’s.” Mizuki pointed at Takina’s direction just outside the truck.

“???????” Chisato only stared at her in confusion until their activities this morning flashed back into her mind. “AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!”

“Imagine having a customer look at you, and then they say, ‘Your lover must be so possessive of you’.” Mizuki sighed. “And then the ‘you’ in that situation is Takina.”

“I forgot! Ahhh! Takinaaaa!” Chisato ran towards Takina’s direction.

“Be quiet! I’m not talking to you today! Hmph!”

“I’m sorrryyyy! I forgot about it! I was too into it! Taaaakinaaaa!”

“I don’t know you anymore!”

“Ahhhhnnnnn! Don’t be like that! I love you!”

“I hate you for two weeks!”

“What’s with that? That’s cute!”

“Ah geez!”

Mika exited the truck and looked at Mizuki. “What’s going on?”

“Something about a bunch of youngsters and a lover’s quarrel.” Mizuki sighed again.

“If you sigh so much, you aren’t gonna find your happiness you know?” Kurumi, the walking order menu just arrived as she stopped and watched Takina and Chisato chasing around the beach side.

“I told you, the menu shouldn’t be walking around!”

Special Bonus

Takina smiled as she carried a tray of two drinks to a table near their mobile truck. “Enjoy!”

“Oh… Intense evening?” One of their now regular customers grinned at Takina who only looked at them in confusion. “There.”

Takina blinked as she touched around the area they were pointing, which was somewhere around the side of her left neck.

“Your lover must be so possessive of you.” The other customer chided with a teasing grin. “Is it Chisato?”

“Chisa–?!” Takina was cut off, as the same customer took out a hand mirror and showed it to her. Around the side of her neck were evidently three kiss marks trailing down to her shoulders and collarbone.

“Ah, young love.” The other customer sighed and took a sip of their drink.

Takina blushed from her ears down as she untied her high ponytail, bowing at the customers before stomping away towards the truck.

“Chisato!”
