Macaroni
It was a quiet night out as Ai and Risa walked side by side in the still cool air. The two were lounging around the elder girls apartment when the bean came up with an idea to head to the nearest convince store to stock up on some snacks the two were craving on. Knowing that there wasn’t really any rush to the small store, they decided to take their time and take in the sights and sounds that were around them. Risa’s eyes scanned over the nearby buildings and cars as her arms swung back and forth like a child. When she got tired of that, she directed her sights to the night sky, sighing when she noticed there were no clouds.
“The sky looks higher than usual tonight…”
“Is that so?”
She nodded and then softly pouted as she looked over to Ai who was giving her a playful smirk. Ai continued on smiling to herself and brought her hands into her hoodie’s pockets while her girlfriend lazily rubbed her hands together to make them warm. Risa was wearing one of their old concert tour shirts along with loose sweatpants and sandals along with her purse. Ai also had a concert shirt on but also an oversized men’s hoodie and the straps of her backpack resting on her small shoulders. She also had jeans with a pair of sneakers and her dark black hair was up in a loose bun.
“You, know Risa-chan…you should’ve brought a sweater with you…”
“If I did then I’d be too hot…”
“But now your cold, aren’t you?”
“…”
Risa said nothing and looked down at the sidewalk for a while as they continued walking. Ai chucked and glanced ahead, making sure to watch the bean from the corner of her eyes as she waited for a reply. She knew when the bean was quiet like this; it meant that her irresponsible side was out in the open.
“How cold are you?”
“I told you I’m not…cold…”
Ai stopped walking, and took her hands out of her pocket, causing Risa to halt and look over to her girlfriend. The older girl tilted her head to the bean and extended her free hand. Risa glanced down at Ai’s small hand and then back up to meet Ai smiling at her. A few seconds later, she took the older girls hand and started to walk again.
“Your hand’s freezing
Sacchan…you should’ve really brought that sweater~”
“Leave me alone
Takapon…”
The monkey’s smile grew wider as Risa looked ahead trying hard to keep down the blush that was coming on her cheeks. It wasn’t unusual of them to use those nicknames but it was usually said in private in their bedrooms, never out in the open like this. Ai giggled to herself and held Risa’s hand a little tighter as they finally reached their destination. The couple picked up a basket and walked along the isles still hand in hand as they debated over what kind of snacks and drinks to get. After paying and heading back out into the cool air, the two quickly rushed back to Ai’s apartment to relax and eat the remaining night away.

“Here try some of this one…”
“Yada~ Pass me the cider.”
“Not until you try this~!”
Risa brought a piece of candy in front of the older girls face, trying desperately for Ai to take a bite out of it. The monkey shook her head and gave another shout of protest until the bean was sitting on her lap facing her. Ai frowned as she watched Risa playfully waved the treat in between them for a few more seconds before shrugging and eating it herself, and eventually handed the carbonated drink to her girlfriend. They stayed in that position for a while on the older girl’s bed, just taking in each other’s warmth, enjoying the soft atmosphere between them. Ai wrapped her arms around Risa’s slim waist, grinning when she felt the younger girl snuggle into the embrace.
Times like this made her think how much time the two of them had spent cuddling like this before, and how many more times after this moment would it happen again? Hoping that it’d be forever, Ai knew that it this very moment it was just right. She also knew that deep down that Risa still wasn’t fully used to being separated from her for long periods of time. As mature as the younger girl was, she still was pretty immature when it came to certain things like affection, or of being alone. She knew Risa didn’t like it when she was by herself, and of course Ai had her own moments of loneliness when the bean wasn’t close by to her like this. They knew that talking on the phone to each other or texting one another was helpful but it wasn’t the same unless they were face to face. It was something Ai couldn’t fully understand, and as odd as it was she knew at this very moment she could feel easy knowing that Risa was right here next to her.
“Nee…Risa…”
“Hm?”
She looked down to meet the top of the beans dark brown hair that was currently covering her small round face.
“Want to share some macaroni soup with me?”
“Sure…”
Risa slowly got off of Ai’s lap and lay on her stomach as she watched Ai get off the bed and softly trotted out of the room. She closed her eyes as she waited; only opening them when the sounds of Ai’s footsteps came closer to the room. The older girl gave a soft smile as her girlfriend lazily sat up and yawned out the tiredness that was slowly creeping up on her. Sitting back down carefully as to not spill the soup, Ai looked over at Risa.
“If you’re sleepy, lie back down, I can eat some and save some for you later.”
Risa shook her head as she took one of the two spoons from Ai’s hand.
“No, I want to share it with you know…”
“Alright then Sacchan~”
The older girl playfully stuck out her tongue as Risa looked up at her with pink cheeks. They began their late night meal in silence, only making a sound or slight deep breath when it was slurping up a loose noodle or astray of broth that was left on their spoons. When they were done, both let out a sigh of content, silently deciding with one another that the next time they went out they’d get that same brand of macaroni again.
Feeling full and happy, the couple snuggled close to one another. They both closed their eyes and held one another’s hand as they took in the soft loving atmosphere surrounding them yet again. It was easy to fall into that deep warm slumber when the one you love was nearby. With the warmth of the macaroni in their bellies, they both breathed and rested easily until the sun rose the next morning.
