Title: A Runner's Prize
'There are so many people here. I didn't expect the stadium to be this crowded. I better hurry inside if I want to get a seat.'The creamy skinned girl weaved her way through the flock of young teenagers and walked toward her high school stadium, squeezing her way through the group as quickly as possible to the entrance. Her only objective was to reach her desired row before it was full. She wanted to get the best view for today's competition.
'I hope the front rows aren't taken when I get there.'Fearing it will be too late to get her desired seat before she reached up the ramp of steps, the black haired teenager expedited her pace. The large amount of people, however, made it harder for her to get to her wanted seat on time. The constant shoving slowed her down, steering her away from her track. All the young students were eager to see their school's competition just as much as she was.
“Sayu!”
Sayumi almost didn't hear the call because of the bickering, laughing, and yelling for her high school's team to win around her. She paused at the bottom of the metallic steps, leading to the stands. Sayumi turned around and saw a familiar face between the crowd. She hurried over to greet her friend the second she spot her.
“Ai-chan, hi!” Sayumi greeted, instantly linking her arms to Ai's once she was in close distance with Ai. “I didn't think you would come.”
“Of course, I would be here! Risa and I were only begged to show up until the day of Eri's race. It was kind of hard to ignore.” Ai chuckled. “I see you've decided to show too. I think Eri will be happier that you're here. She misses you a lot you know?”
Sayumi felt her face turn hot at the mention of Eri. It had been a whole week since they were apart. It felt a lot more painful and torturous than Sayumi had thought. She was amazed at how long she could stay away from Eri since she was busy preparing for this race. It was the first time Eri had been chosen to represent her team and she wanted to do all she could to be ready for today's race.
That meant intense training and all her focus had to be dedicated to practice. Sayumi was lonely at first and acted a bit like a spoiled brat in the beginning, but she later knew how important the race and training was to Eri and Sayumi became less angry. When the strict practice was over Sayumi was invited, or more accurately begged to attend Eri's race and Sayumi couldn't deny her beloved girlfriend when she had asked Sayumi in such the cutest way with the most adorable pout on her lips. The pale girl's mind was set on seeing Eri's race as she had promised. She wanted to show her support for Eri.
“I...miss her too.” Sayumi bashfully admitted.
Ai smiled at Sayumi's bashful behavior. “Come on let's get on the stands.” Ai reminded.
Sayumi agreed and together the two teenagers made their way to find empty seats. Sayumi scanned the area for free a free bench that was close to the bottom of the stands. She pouted, seeing that there was barely room to sit and just might have to stand during the entire race.
'So much for the front seats!'“Sayumi! Ai-chan! Over here!”
The pallid younger girl spun around, trying to spot the person who announced her name. In her search, she saw a single girl, waving her arms to catch her attention then motioned for her to come over. Ai led Sayumi to the bench, while Sayumi realized two empty seats were saved for them.
“Gaki-san!” Sayumi greeted, then did a double take back to Risa. “EHHH?! Gaki-san, you cut your hair?!”
Ai let out a small chuckle to Sayumi's shocked expression. Risa, on the other hand, glared at her with puffed out cheeks. Subconsciously, Risa's hands went to the top of her head, patting down her hair for any misplaced strands.
“What's wrong with my new hair cut?!” Risa questioned, slightly offended to Sayumi's outburst.
Sayumi smiled and let out a small giggle. “No, no, it's just...I didn't expect you to cut all your hair off. It's cute Gaki-san!”
Satisfied with her kouhai's response, Risa smiled once again, no longer bothered from Sayumi's response.
“We better take a seat. It looks like the race is going to start.” Ai announced, her eyes fixed to the track.
'I can't wait to see Eri race!!'
The two girls nodded silently to Ai's statement then took their seats, eagerly waiting for the selected girls to step to the track for the race to begin. The distance to the other end of the track was still far, giving Sayu a challenge to see the girls in red and white track outfits. She leaned forward as if it would give her a clearer view.
The screaming and laughing died down when the selected girls for the opening race positioned themselves to the starting line. Sayumi's hand clamped around the edge of the cold stainless steel bench in anticipation.
“I can't see anything!” Ai cried. “Gaki-san, who's lined up? Is Eri there?”
Risa cupped a hand over her eyes to block the sun and squinted. “Eri isn't up yet. She must be sitting on the bench.”
Sayumi sunk forward in her seat.
'I thought she was going to be in the race not watch from the sides. All her practice was for nothing?'Sayumi felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to her right.
“Don't worry Sayu. Eri will have her turn soon.” Ai promised.
Sayumi nodded then went back to watching the first race. The crowd around her started to cheer and horns went off. Sayumi sat back, more relaxed, and enjoyed the lively-ness of the group of fans screaming shouts of support for their team.
***
“Don't be so upset Sayu.” Risa advised.
“Yeah, maybe Eri's coach wanted Eri to know how it feels to be in a competition and observe the other racers first.” Ai explained.
“I'm not mad.” Sayumi lied, crossing her arms over her chest.
'Of course I'll be mad! Eri hasn't done one race! The whole competition is almost over! I don't get why her coach would make Eri sit on the side the whole time. Eri is a great runner!'“I wanted to see Eri race that's why I'm here!” Sayumi grumbled.
“Well...at least this is the last race so we can leave.” Ai remembered. “That way you can see Eri, Sayu.”
“Hey...is that Kame?!” Risa shouted.
'She's finally playing?!“Huh?!” Sayumi yelled, leaping nearly out of her seat.'She could barely make out faces or forms from the large distance between the stadium and starting point of the race. Sayumi frowned and cursed Risa for having such great eyesight Sayumi wish she had at this moment.
“That is! That's Eri! She's going to run the finishing race!” Risa confirmed, in shock.
“Eh?! This is also the race that could make her team win!” Ai bellowed.
Sayumi leaned forward in her seat, about to burst with excitement. Her small hands wrapped around the edges of the bench seat and began to turn paler than usual from the lack of blood circulation. Sayumi was finding it hard to control her urge to stand out of her seat and yell in joy. She was going to finally see her girlfriend be apart of the race and possibly be the one to lead her team to victory. Sayumi followed the small dots of people intently. Her heart began to race and her body felt oddly hot from anticipation.
No one was more than happy to see Eri on the track other than Sayumi. The group of chosen girls to complete the final race lined up to the starting line like the others before them and got into their racing positions. The man at the side of the track lifted his arm and pointed the gun in his hand straight to the air.
“GO ERIRIN!” Sayumi shouted, just before the gun was fired.
Then the group of girls ran off with lightening speed. Sayumi never felt herself become so enthralled during a racing match as this one took place. Her heart pumped as if she were one of the runners out on the track and the blood rushed through to her face as she watched. Sayumi's stomach immediately became hot and she felt the urge to scream again as if it would help Eri pick up her pace to out run her opponents.
As Sayumi watched track memebers, she also felt a sense of beauty as the runners reached their full speed, reaching the end of the track. The finishing line was near. Sayumi can hear the students from her high school shout and blow horns, all egging on the runner representing their school to reach the thin white line for first place. Sayumi had never felt her heart beat this fast before just from watching something like a race before.
Then everything around her seemed to have slowed down and her main focus was on the proximity between Eri and the band of white tape at the end. Her chest felt as if it were about to burst and her whole body seethed with excitement.
“ERI!!!” Risa bellowed.
That seemed to be enough for the young turtle to move and she gave one last burst of energy to pick up her speed and crash right into the finish line with her hands held high in pride. Sayumi found herself springing out of her seat and yelled for joy just like everyone else in the crowd. She of course had a completely different reason to her celebration. Sayumi turned to her two friends and hugged them on impulse once they met eye contact with her.
The crowd eventually settled down, eager to see their school receive the first place championship trophy. While the small ceremony of her school's track coach received the trophy and gave a small speech of thanks still in a slight stage of shock to the team's win. Sayumi couldn't think about anything else other than getting down to the field to meet Eri again.
The large wooden and golden trophy was then accepted and another eruption of cheers followed after. Sayumi found this as her chance to leave and race down to meet her girlfriend yet again. She was the first to get to the stairs and hurry down.
'She won! I have to be the first to congratulate her!'“Sayumi wait up!” Risa called, finding it hard to follow her. “I thought Sayu was bad at running?” Ai shrugged and continued to follow the quick bunny.
It wasn't long before Sayumi was on to the lush green grass and over to the other side of the field with the track team. Most of the girls had already long left and others were packing, getting ready to leave.
Sayumi paused, scanning through the group of girls for the one she had in mind to see, then spotted a slightly tanned teenager, standing in front of a much taller and lean girl. Sayumi figured it was her coach, since she did have the trophy in her hand. Sayumi walked over, interrupting the two girls from their serious conversation.
“Sayu?! You came!”
“Eririn~!!!” Sayumi called back, pulling her lover into a tight hug.
Eri chuckled and leaned into Sayumi's warm embrace. They held hands when the hug was over and couldn't stop smiling at one another.
“I missed you, Eri.” Sayumi pouts. “A week has been such a long time!”
Eri let out a small laugh and smiled. “Ah, Sayu, I wasn't gone that long! I'm glad to see you here. Did Gaki-san and Ai-chan come too?”
“They should be here soon.” Sayumi replies, leaning her head against Eri's shoulder affectionately. “Eri you were amazing! I had no idea you could run that fast. Was that race why you were training so hard last week?”
'She's so committed to her team.'“Yeah, Iida-san wanted me to finish the last race. We wanted to win this year.” Eri explained.
“I always knew you were one of our top runners Eri. I had confidence in you.” Kaori interjects. She looked back to Sayumi who clung on to Eri as if she could disappear any moment. “You must be Sayu?”
Sayumi looked up from Eri's shoulder to Eri's track coach. She stood up straight and bowed to give a proper introduction.
“Yes, I'm Michishige Sayumi.” she confirmed.
“Eri kept mentioning you during training. She really did miss you.” Kaori states. “You two must be deeply in love.”
The two girls glanced at each other and blushed, Sayumi's face was a lot more visible due to her light skin. Kaori laughed and put a hand on her kouhai's arms in a assuring touch.
“Don't worry. I won't say anything. I think it's cute.” she promised. “You chose the right person Sayu.”
“Thank you.” Sayumi meekly replied, her face still burning hot from her flushed face.
“Well, I better get going. Eri you should go home too and get some rest. You've been working too hard lately.” Kaori advised, before walking off with her team's trophy.
'That...was a little embarrassing.'“Sayu, there you are!” Ai yelled, joining her friends, with Risa behind her. “You just suddenly went off. Were you that eager to see Eri again?”
Sayumi felt her face turn hot with embarrassment again. Ai finished complaining to Sayumi and gave her full attention to the player who gave their high school the championship trophy. Eri gave Ai a small wave in return.
“Eri that was amazing! I didn't know you can run that fast.” Ai complimented. “You must be so happy that you've won.”
“I'm just relieved it's over. I was so nervous when I lined up!” Eri admitted. “I've never felt my heart beat that face before!”
Sayumi looked at Eri as she spoke with a love struck smile in place then giggled. “Eririn you're so cute~!” she commented, making Eri blush this time.
Sayumi clung on to Eri's arm and smiled. Eri was surprised that Sayumi had shown any affection towards her in public. She was used to it in front of her friends, but outside where plenty of other people can see made Eri a little embarrassed. Seeing that Eri was a little uncomfortable with the public affection, decided to interrupt and help Eri from feeling bashful.
“For someone who's 'my pace' you sure run fast.” Risa joked.
“Eri, would you like me to drive you home?” Ai asked.
“Yes please. I'm way too tired to walk home.” Eri replied.
“Eri are you okay? Maybe you should drink water! Did you bring your water bottle with you?” Sayumi questioned, grabbing Eri's gym bag for the water.
“Sayu! I'm fine. You don't have to worry so much. I just want to go home and take a bath. My legs ache.” Eri assured.
Ai and Risa laughed at Sayumi overreaction to Eri's weariness. Eri smiled at her girlfriend as a way of thank Sayumi for being so thoughtful then tied their hands together in a firm lock. Sayumi felt her heart swell with joy at the small action. Eri was becoming more comfortable with their relationship and with affection.
It made Sayumi beyond happy to see Eri breaking through her shell even if it were a little. Sayumi glanced at Eri with a loving smile in place then look back to her friends. Risa motioned for the couple to follow her and Ai to the parking lot, noticing that they probably wanted some alone time now that they're finally together.
“Oh, Sayu would you like me to drive you home also?” Ai asked.
“No, I'll come with Eri. It's fine Ai-chan.” Sayumi hastily replied.
Ai opened the back seat door and walked her way to the driver seat. Risa settled in the passenger seat in the front, while Eri and Sayumi took the back. When Eri was inside the car, Sayumi scooted over to Eri to lean against her girlfriend. Sayumi rested her head on Eri's shoulder.
Eri smiled, enjoying Sayumi's warmth. Eri looked down at Sayumi and her smile grew. Even if Sayumi would probably agree with Eri instead of thanking her for the compliment, Eri admitted Sayumi was cuter when she laid against the shy turtle like this. Eri squeezed Sayumi's hand that was still tangled around the track runner's hand and looked out the open window.
***
“Thank you for driving us home Ai-chan and thank you again for attending my game.” Eri smiled, waving goodbye to her two friends.
“It's the least I can do since you've done one long run today.” Ai replied.
Risa leaned over Ai to get a better view of Eri from the driver window. “Please take a warm bath to rest your sore muscles Eri.” The motherly bean asked.
Sayumi wrapped her arms around Eri's bicep and laughed. “She'll be fine Gaki-san! I'll take good care of her.” she promised.
The two older girls looked at each other with small smirks in place then chuckled. “I'm sure you will Sayu.” Ai laughed, before starting the car again. “I'll see you both on Monday, bye!”
'Can Ai-chan makes it anymore obvious?!'The car in front of the two younger girls drove off, leaving them alone in front of Eri's large three floor house. Sayumi leaned her head against Eri while the little turtle on the other hand was staring into space, blinking subconsciously, trying to figure out what her two senpais meant before driving off in a fit of laughter.
“Sayumi...” Eri mumbled, slowly coming back to earth.
“Yeah?” Sayumi questioned.
Eri turned to her girlfriend with a confused expression in place. “What did they mean?”
Sayumi felt her face turn hot to Eri's innocent question. “It's nothing Eririn let's just get inside so you can relax.” she suggested.
Eri nodded, not really that curious to the answer of her question. The need to sleep and sooth the aching in her body was much stronger than needing to find the hint behind Ai's words. Sayumi lead her tired girlfriend through the front gates of Eri's house and quickly made it to the front door. She spun around to retrieve the key to open the top lock of the entrance door.
“Eri, don't you have a key?” Sayumi reminded, seeing Eri staring into space again. “Eri?”
Eri let out a heavy sigh and blinked. She rubbed her droopy eyes and smile, bashfully. Eri put on a goofy smile, feeling embarrassed to be caught 'communicating'.
“I'm sorry Sayu. I'm really tired.” Eri apologized, digging into her pockets to pull out the house key. She didn't notice Sayumi frown to her exclamation. “Here it is!” The tired track member held out the key in front of Sayumi's face proud that she didn't lose something this important for once.
Sayumi took the copper item and wasted no time to unlock the door and walk inside. The two high school students stood in the foyer, scanning for anyone else in the house.
“Mom! Dad! I'm home.” Eri announced, hearing her voice echo in her huge spacious house.
A loud bark ripped through the echo, followed by the sound of scratching against the floor and a sharp bark. Sayumi jumped and let out a loud scream when Eri's dog, Aru came racing towards his owner and visitor.
“Aru stop!!” Eri shouted, glaring at her on coming dog. “Rina!!”
Eri put her hands up to protect herself from the oversized dog that is about to jump up and tackle his small owner. There isn't anything else Eri can do. She let out a high pitched yell with Sayumi, bracing herself to be knocked down.
“Eri?” Another girl called. There was footsteps from the stairs in the foyer. “Eri, you're home. Aru stop it!”
Aru was pulled away from his collar and a loud sigh was let out from both frightened girls. The girl that had pulled Aru into the living room and came back to properly greet her sister.
“Welcome home Eri.” she greeted, giving Sayumi a warm smile as well. “Hello Michishige-san. Are you going to spend the night again?”
“She's just staying here for a few hours, Rina.” Eri informed. “Is mom home?”
“She'll be back soon. Mom went out to buy some ingredients for tonight's dinner. Dad is still at work.” Rina replied. “How did the race go?”
“My team won.” Eri smiled, still filled with pride to her victory.
“Congratulations! I knew you were a good runner.” Rina congratulated. “Oh, do you want anything to eat or drink? You must be thirsty after your run.”
“I'm fine. I'm just going to take a bath and probably rest before dinner.” Eri declined.
“Okay, I'll tell you when dinner is ready.” Rina said, walking towards the living room to flick on the TV.
“You're sister is very nice.” Sayumi complimented. “Why is that she never calls you Onee-chan?”
Eri lead the bunny up the stairs quietly, eager to get to her room to get ready for her bath.
“I don't like when she calls me that. I just told her to call me Eri instead.” Eri replied, pushing open her room door and switched on the lights. “I shouldn't take long bathing, but if you get hungry or thirsty you can go downstairs and help yourself.”
Sayumi took a seat to Eri's bed, nervously placing her hands to her thighs.
“I'll be fine.” Sayumi assured.
Eri excused herself out of her room to take her much needed bath and Sayumi was left alone in Eri's room in silence. Sayumi took this moment to scan Eri's room out of curiosity to see if anything had changed. She concluded that it was the same extremely messy room with a couple of incompletely collections that Eri had grew out of and a desk that is covered with mountains of paper that Sayumi couldn't tell it wasn't a desk if it weren't for the small lamp that peeked out behind the stacked sheets and a computer chair next to the white sheets.
'Some things still haven't changed, huh, Eririn?' Sayumi smiled to herself, seeing that Eri's disorganized behavior had not changed along with some of her weird tendencies such has standing in corners when nervous. It was something that Sayumi in some sort of odd way, enjoyed, it made Sayumi only love her shy turtle even more. Sayumi sighed and stood up from her spot, having enough sight seeing of Eri's mess.
'I might as well make myself useful. Her room could use some tidying.'With her mind set on her chosen task, Sayumi began to pick up heaps of wrinkled clothing and sorted them into neat piles by article of clothing. Shirts were in one pile to her right, shorts were to her left, and small clothing such as socks and underwear in the middle. The black haired teenager made sure to fold every piece of clothing neatly and set them to Eri's bed when completed.
Normally, a mess this huge would upset any parent, but picking up after Eri didn't bother the quiet working bunny at all. Silently, Sayumi continued to sort out crumbled clothes and put them into well-kept hoards of clothing. She kept this steady pace, losing track of how long she's been preoccupied with cleaning, forgetting that Eri hadn't returned yet. There was then a knock to her door and carefully the door began to open.
“Eri, can I borrow...oh...Michishige-san. I didn't know you were here, sorry.” Rina mumbled, looking at the underwear that was still in Sayumi's hands. “W-what are you doing?”
Sayumi noticed Rina's gaze and quickly dropped the underwear on to the floor. She felt her whole face turn hot, realizing how odd it must have seen from Rina's point of view. The flustered rabbit let out a timid laugh.
'This is awkward!!!' “I was cleaning Eri's mess!” Sayumi bellowed, pointing to the group of clothes next to her.
Rina looked over the pile then faced Sayumi not wanting to search deeper into Sayumi's claim. She had something more important to do, like finish her math homework. Sayumi put on a small smile.
“If you're here then where is Eri?” Rina asked.
“She's taking a bath.” Sayumi retorted.
“I better go check on her to see if she hasn't fallen asleep in the tub again. The last time she almost drowned.” Rina announced, facing back to the door. “I don't get how she can sleep anywhere.”
Rina left the door, allowing Sayumi to let out a much needed sigh. Rina chose one of the worse times to come in. Sayumi sat down to take a break from cleaning.
'Rina-chan probably thinks I'm a pervert now!' The door to Eri's room opened again, but this time instead of Rina entering it was Eri, tiredly rubbing her eyes with a towel clutched in the other. Eri groggily went scurrying through her cluttered room, for needed clothes to slip into a more comfortable outfit.
'She did fall asleep in the tub.' Sayumi laughed silently to herself from her observation. She heard Eri give out a loud yawn and gather pieces to complete her outfit. Sayumi watched her quietly, realizing that Eri is still dripping wet and spotted a drop of water at the back of Eri's neck. The middle-aged teenager inventively watched the drop slide down Eri's neck to the small section of her bare back then disappear behind Eri's fluffy white towel.
Sayumi felt her face run warm then rapidly turn hot as if she were running a fever. Her heart started to pump uncontrollably, fueled by her deepest desire, Eri. The younger girl wanted more than anything to race up to Eri and remove the teasing towel to have her way with the older girl, but Sayumi used every fiber in her body to subside her needs. Deciding that watching was a much better option, Sayumi looked on, while Eri was unaware of her girlfriend's lust filled eyes. She probably had forgotten Sayumi was here.
'Does she have any idea what she's doing to me?!' Sayumi gulped, placing a hand to her beating chest. Her heart was so loud she wondered why Eri didn't hear it either. The sound was similar to a constant bongo drum. Worried that her face could be as red as a strawberry, Sayumi put both her hands to her cheeks and felt how hot her skin had turned just from her thoughts alone.
'I've never felt my heart beat this fast before. There's something that makes me more attracted to her.'“Sayu. Sayu!” Eri yelled, ripping Sayumi of her thoughts.
“Huh?!” Sayumi chirped, clearing her throat once hearing how scratchy it became. “Yes?”
Eri raised her brow to Sayumi's odd voice. “I was saying that is it okay I change here?”
Sayumi felt her stomach swirl at the question. Now was not the best of time to ask, but she couldn't say no. A part of her even wondered why Eri even asked since this is her room. Pushing her thoughts aside, Sayumi spoke again.
“It's fine! I'll just close the curtains and turn around.” Sayumi agreed, dashing to the window and pulling the curtains together.
Sayumi stood at the window, studying the curtains intensely, while trying to keep her mind off the fact that Eri was a few steps away from her, getting dressed. Knowing that Eri is naked, Sayumi stared even harder at the curtain and gripped on to the soft material.
'I never noticed that they have a turtle pattern on them. Eri is so cute.' Feeling that her desire had lowered slightly, Sayumi felt more comfortable staying in the same room as her girlfriend and focused on the things that Sayumi found so cute about Eri. This made her lustful urges eventually shrink down to nothing. The paled-skinned teenager's body became less tense.
“I'm done!” Eri announced, allowing Sayumi to turn around again. “Sayu, are you hungry? Rina told me dinner is done.”
“Yeah I'm starving!” Sayumi quickly answered.
“Come on, let's eat!” Eri enthusiastically agreed, grabbing on to Sayumi's hand to direct her out of her room and to the kitchen.
'She's so cute when she's eager for food too. Everything Eri does is so cute!' ***
“Ah I'm so full~!” Sayumi cried, plopping herself on Eri's bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
A small hand placed on to the bunny's soft stomach, rubbing lazily in a circular motion. Sayumi held a content smile to her full belly.
“Your mom's cooking is so good.”
From the corner of her eye, Sayumi watched Eri walk around the room, gathering what she needed to get ready for Sayumi's stay, alarmed to Sayumi's actions. As the Eri steadily went around her room she paused at her dressers and looked around her with a puzzled expression.
“Sayumi, did you clean up in here?” Eri asked, casually, unfaltering to the fact that Sayumi had went through her personal belongings to try and tidy up the turtle's messy room. The drowsy rabbit nodded. Eri let out a small sigh of frustration and went back to zipping back and forth through the room. Sayumi sat up on the bed.
“What's wrong?” Sayumi asked.
“I can't find anything now!” Eri complained.
Sayumi gave her girlfriend the strangest look. Sometimes even after knowing Eri for a good amount of years, Sayumi still couldn't understand the strange turtle. The taller girl was sure that Eri's unpredictable behavior was what she liked about the older girl.
'How can she have an easier time finding something in huge piles of dirty clothes?!'“Okay, I found it!” Eri declared, holding out a cluster of clothes in her closed fist into the air. She looked back at Sayumi and held out the bundle of crumpled clothes to her. “I found your pajamas.”
Sayumi held out a hand hesitatingly. “Is it...even clean?” Sayumi questioned.
Eri pulled her hand back to her chest, unsure to Sayumi's faint question and scratched the back of her head while looking the articles of clothing over. Eri began to pout, stumped to her lack of information. Sayumi couldn't help, but smile. Eri always had the cutest pouts when she was either unsure of something or thinking too hard.
“I...I think so.” Eri muttered.
“Eri this is why you need to clean your room and have everything neat!” Sayumi protested.
Eri frowned. “Alright, don't worry Sayu! I'm sure my mom has a clean pile of my clothes in the dryer. I'll be right back.” Eri promised, then hurried out the room.
'Eri, you're always so unorganized. I don't know how you can live in a room like this!' Rolling on to her side, Sayumi scooted closer to the head of the bed and placed her head onto a soft pillow. On instincts, Sayumi pressed her face into the gentle cushion and took in a deep breath to the sweet scent clinging to the fabric. She let out a deep sigh and smiled.
'Strawberries. I always liked that shampoo on her the most.' Sayumi rubbed her cheek against the fluffy pillow, washed away from the soft fruity smell. That smell always relaxed her. She often told Eri to use that shampoo the most, but like always Eri forgot, but Sayumi never made a big deal about it.
The younger girl was happy enough to lay in Eri's arms when they came home from school to cuddle before doing homework. The warmth the aho gave off made Sayumi feel relaxed after a hard day of lecturing. Sayumi let out another sigh and felt herself start to slip into a peaceful sleep.
“You're such a pervert!!” Eri shouted, startling her girlfriend. “Geez, what if I was Rina?!”
Sayumi laid flat on her back again and blushed. “She...already might think I am a pervert.” Sayumi muttered. “While I was cleaning she...came in and I had one of your underwear in my hands at the time.”
Eri's eyes opened wide in surprise. “You had one of my underwear in your hand?! You're an even bigger pervert than I thought!” Eri complained.
“No! I-It isn't w-what you think!” Sayumi cried.
'Isn't that the oldest line in the book!?'Eri's face slowly turned from angry to happy and she started to laugh. Sayumi sat still lost at her sudden eruption of laughter. Eri held on a goofy smile and took several deep breaths to calm herself.
“Sayumi you're too funny! I know you were cleaning my room.” Eri giggled. “I just wanted to see you blush.”
Sayumi frowned and turned away from Eri with her arms folded over her chest. “Hmm! That wasn't funny, Eri!” she scolded. “You idiot!”
Eri stopped laughing and crawled over to the furious bunny in the middle of her bed. Sayumi glared down at her feet, completely ignoring Eri's pout for forgiveness. She knew that if she did look, she would easily cave. Sayumi didn't want to lose that quickly.
'I'm not falling for the puppy eyes!'“Aw...Sayumi~!!” Eri refuted, sitting in front of Sayumi. “I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you.” There was still silence. “Sayumin~!!”
'I'm not falling for the cutesy voice either!!'Eri took a piece of black hair between her fingers and pushed it behind Sayumi's ear. The airhead sat there, looking over Sayumi's hunched over form, waiting for the pallid-skinned girl to respond. Seeing that Eri wasn't going to win, she only had one option left and if that didn't work then she had no idea what would. Eri leaned closer to Sayumi and ran her fingers through long jet-black locks. Eri saw Sayumi stiffen at the feeling of Eri's fingers through Sayumi's hair.
“You looked so cute when you blushed.” Eri whispered, nuzzling her nose to the tip of Sayumi's ear. She turned around, finally noticing how close their faces were. Eri put on another smile that she knew will claim Sayumi's heart all over again.
'Why does she always win?! It isn't fair that she's so cute!'“Really?” Sayumi asked.
Eri nodded. “Sayumi is always cute! It's why I like you.” Eri confirmed.
Sayumi eyed her girlfriend wearily. “That's it?” she complained.
“Yeah. Why else?” Eri responded, as if such a question was stupid to ask.
'She only agreed to date me because of my looks?!'Sayumi frowned again and flicked Eri's forehead before sitting on the edge. Eri yelped out in pain and put a hand to her forehead. Then once again began to laugh and sit behind her girlfriend. The athletic girl put her arms around Sayumi's small waist and rested her chin to Sayumi's shoulder.
“I'm just kidding~” Eri giggled. “Can't you just take a joke, Sayumi?”
Sayumi pouted, ignoring Eri. “I was serious when I asked that Eri!” Sayumi clarified.
Realizing the seriousness to the question, Eri became more stern. The last thing she wanted to do is upset her lover and possibly hurt her feelings, or worse, make Sayumi second guess their relationship. So to put the bunny back at ease, Eri decided to apologize.
“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings Sayumi. Of course I like you for other reasons.” Eri answered, solemnly.
'How do I know she's not telling me that as a joke?'Sayumi shifted between Eri's legs to get a better view of the track runner's face. She needed to make direct eye contact with Eri to see she meant these meaningful words. It was the only why Sayumi felt that she could know Eri's speaking the truth. The second Sayumi turned around the two teenagers locked eyes as if they were under a spell.
Sayumi put her hand over Eri's. The sudden contact made Eri smile remembering that they had been apart for an entire weak. The turtle felt her body awaken with desire, reminding her just how much she missed having Sayumi's presence near her.
“What other reasons?” Sayumi whispered, curiously.
“Well...I like that you're reliable, trustworthy,...and beautiful both inside and out.” Eri said, with a dreamy smile in place. “I love you, Sayumin.”
'She really loves me that much?'Sayumi looked into the turtle's eyes, for any traces of lies, but there was nothing. Eri was being honest and meant all her words. Sayumi had on a huge smile then turned around and kissed Eri on the lips. The kiss was brief and completely unexpected. Sayumi smirked when Eri let out a groan of disappointment when it quickly ended.
However, the distance between both girls from kissing again wasn't far, but Sayumi didn't want to kiss the luscious lips before her just yet. To make sure Eri stood back, Sayumi put a hand to Eri's cheek and placed a finger to Eri's bottom lip. The contact of soft skin only excited Eri even more. Her blood began to rush through body, fueling Eri's fervor. Sayumi stared at the parted lips and ran a finger along Eri's mouth.
“Eririn...” Sayumi heaved, finding it harder to control herself anymore. Eri let out a small whimper, but remained seated, waiting for Sayumi to close the distance to kiss again. “I love you too. Eri...tell me you love me again.”
Sluggishly, Eri's tongue slipped out and licked her parched lips, accidentally brushing the tip against Sayumi's finger in the process. The flushed rabbit let out a small gasp and licked her own lips, hungrily.
“...I love you. Sayumi, I love you!” Eri breathlessly shouted.
Sayumi slipped further into Eri's lap and tied her arms around Eri's curvy body before diving in to kiss her again with a fiery passion. Eri's hands automatically linked around Sayumi's back and slipped under her shirt, for better contact to her skin. Wildly, their tongues met together, trying to over power the other into submission. Sayumi's hips began to grind against Eri's lap and received a sharp cry in return.
One of Eri's hand pulled out from Sayumi's shirt and curled around the taller teenager's slender neck, tangling with thick black hair again. Eri flinched when she felt small fingers slip into her pants and rub against her underwear undetected. The lovers' pent up needs of physical contact for one another finally reached its limit. Neither girl could contain it any longer especially now since they were alone.
Eri grabbed on to Sayumi's waist and lifted her so that she was now placed in the center of the bed. Eri positioned both her hands beside Sayumi's head and glanced down to her girlfriend with a lovestruck gaze. Sayumi closed her eyes and gulped to try and control her rush of emotions. She can barely breathe from the burst of excitement.
'Eri...I love you. I don't ever want to lose you! You're my world.'Eri placed a kiss to Sayumi's forehead and moved her hands down to Sayumi's light pink skirt. She saw Sayumi jump when Eri's fingers touched the bunny's thighs and smirked. With her devilish smile still in place, Eri pushed the frilly thin skirt up to Sayumi's stomach and slipped her fingers into the inner side of Sayumi's thighs.

Sayumi stared down adoringly to her girlfriend as she began to slowly recover. A light smile came to Sayumi's face as she watched Eri.
'She's beautiful. I can never love her enough.'Gaining her strength again, Eri slowly opened her eyes and blushed when she saw Sayumi staring intensely down at her. A goof smile came across her face.
“Wha~t?” Eri bashfully asked.
Sayumi giggled and laid down against Eri. Comfortably, her head settled under Eri's chin. Eri slid a hand down Sayumi's arm to find her hand and closed their hands together. Eri's left arm was placed around Sayumi's slim waist.
“Eririn...I love you so much.” Sayumi mumbled, playing with Eri's fingers. “Sometimes...it scares me how much I do.”
“Scare you?” Eri repeated. “Why?”
“Because, what will happen if I can't stop?” Sayumi questioned. “What if you get taken away from me? It isn't long before we leave high school and go to different colleges.”
“Sayumi, you'll never stop loving me just how I'll never stop loving you. And even if we go to different colleges...I'll always be with you because it's where my heart says I belong, by your side.” Eri confirmed. “Besides, we're supposed to be celebrating. I won the race! We don't want to ruin the celebration do we?”
Sayumi lifted her head up from Eri's chest and shook her head. Eri smiled and ran a hand through thick messy tresses.
'She's always so good to me. I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend. Eri is meant for me.' “Aren't you glad you won that race?” Sayumi grinned.
Eri held on a similar smile. “I should win more often.”
The two teenagers laughed shortly after before letting out big yawns as sleep finally came over them. Rubbing her eyes, Sayumi cuddled against Eri's chest again.
“Good night Eri.” Sayumi yawned.
A slow breath escaped from Eri's mouth. She too agreed sleep was something much needed. With a lazy hand, Eri pulled the sheets around the two of them and began to close her eyes. Peacefully, the two girls fell into a light slumber, linked together as one.
