Title: Behind These Eyes
Note: I blame Yuuyami for this one… again. AU… established relationship, let’s go! May be expanded...?
“What the hell?!” a woman screeched out when she looked into the mirror. She fled the bathroom when she heard a scream from the kitchen. Two long strides out of the bathroom and she found herself on the floor with a heavy weight on top of her.
“Ow…” another woman muttered. She moved her head and was about to raise it until she realized she was resting on something soft. Instead, pressed her face into the softness and released a content sigh.
“Excuse me, can you get off?”
No reply.
“M-Maki-chan, if that’s you, can you get off?”
The resting woman sat up and pouted after being forced to move. Her pout lasted for a few seconds before she was hit with the reason why they ran into each other to begin with.
“You’re in my body!” the two women cried out, pointing at each other.
Maki and Ai hesitantly reached out to each other, touching each other’s face unable to fathom what happened. Somehow, the two had switched bodies throughout the night (a night that was only a couple hours long for particular reasons).
“This is so weird,” Ai whispered. She stared at her “self” and wondered how the entire thing ever happened. She was about to ask a question, but the moment she opened her mouth a squeak left her mouth instead.
“Whoa, they really are soft,” Maki muttered as she fondled her body’s chest. Out of her intrigue, she didn’t notice the effect her actions had on the other woman. That was until she heard a moan. “Eh?”
The younger woman snapped out of her stupor and blushed profusely as she smacked the interested hands away. “Stop that!”
A devilish grin suddenly appeared on Maki’s—Ai’s?—face. Ai frowned at the sight. She didn’t know she was capable of such an expression. Without another beat she stood up and inwardly grimaced when Maki stood up as well.
What a different view.
“Wow, you’re a lot shorter than I thought.”
Was that an insult?
“Are you making fun of me?” Ai asked, peeved at the random statement.
“No, but it answers my question about why you always like to hug me.” Somehow the devilish grin widened.
Ai was ready to bolt out of the scene. Who in the world would trust that kind of expression even if the other person who wore it was a significant other?
Her attempt to flee was thrown out the window when the other woman flung herself onto her. Arms were wound tight around her waist and a face was happily resting against her chest.
“You get a really soft pillow!” Maki exclaimed far too excitedly. She nuzzled the “pillow”-like softness and sighed once again in contentment.
The only thing that went through Ai’s mind was how crazy her girlfriend was. She knew there was a different side to Maki, but this was really strange albeit cute.
“You’re so naughty. This is why you like—love hugging me.”
Ai was more than ready to retort at the accusation, but all of her words died on the tip of her tongue when she saw Maki looking up at her with a gentle smile. She turned her head away and cleared her throat.
A thought appeared in her mind.
“So, that’s why you let me get away with everything!”
Maki raised an eyebrow at the statement. “Eh?”
“My smile; you let me get away with everything whenever I smile like that at you!”
Oops, busted.
“Hey, it can’t be helped! You look way too adorable whenever you smile like… this? That?” Maki pulled away and frowned. “How will this work? Do you think we’ll be able to return to our own bodies?”
“What, you don’t like my body? Last time I checked you were more than happy to touch—“
“Well,” Maki interjected, “it feels really weird looking at me so can you blame me? Don’t you want to go back to your own body?”
A sharp smirk was on Ai’s—Maki’s?—face. The older woman thought that it was strange way to differentiate… people.
“No, I quite like this view,” Ai replied back as coolly as possible, or as possible as Takahashi Ai could in Goto Maki’s body.
“Hey, I like being able to hold you when we stand,” Maki retorted back disliking where the conversation was headed. She saw that the other woman wasn’t planning on budging.
“Now, it’ll be my turn to hold you.”
Maki blankly stared at her “taller” girlfriend and groaned. “This is cool and all, but it’s so weird looking at myself.”
Ai rolled her eyes and tugged the other woman back to bed.
“Whoa, what are you—No! This is really weird!” Maki shouted as she saw clothes being shed off of the other body and dropped to the floor.
“Wouldn’t it be cool even for one time?”
The bewildered woman furiously shook her head. Behind these eyes, it would be far too awkward!
Another sharp smirk was on Ai’s face and this time it terrified Maki.
“W-We should s-stop!” The words fell on deaf ears and Maki found herself shoved onto their bed. She shut her eyes and whimpered when she felt a hand move underneath her shirt. That wandering hand moved underneath the band of her pants and out of shock she shoved her girlfriend away.
“Ow! Maki-chan!”
Maki reluctantly opened her eyes and saw her said girlfriend in a heap on the floor by their bed. She furrowed her brow when she saw that Ai was… Ai. Her eyes travelled down and she noticed that they were back into their own bodies.
It was just a dream.
“Ya could help me up, ya know,” Ai grumbled out.
The older woman released a deep breath and extended her hand. Ai climbed back into bed and lied on top of her. She pursed her lips when she saw how comfortably nestled the Ai’s head was on her chest.
“They're really soft, aren't they?”
“Huh?” Ai lifted her head and tilted it to the side.
Maki chuckled and shook her head. “Nothing, I just had a weird dream.”
