Jurina continued following Rena until they reached her home. The idol gazed at the house while the other went ahead and started to unlock the door. "So this is where you live.." Jurina spoke loud enough for Rena to hear, earning a shocked gasp and a sudden turn around from Rena. "You were still following me?!" Rena exclaimed. Jurina didn't say anything, but simply nodded. She then felt something weird on her face. She brought her hand up and wiped it off. Water. She started feeling more drop onto her. "Ah, it's raining." She thought. She walked to the door, standing in front of Rena. Rena could feel herself becoming flustered, so she turned around. She grasped the door handle and opened it, coldly giving Jurina a farewell before she went inside.
Just as Rena entered her house and closed the door, it started raining heavily. Rena leaned against the door, closing her eyes and taking deep breaths. "God, Rena. What's gotten into you?" She thought to herself, patting her cheeks. In the middle of calming herself, she heard Jurina speaking to herself on the other side of the door. "Aahh.. It's raining hard. I'm going to have to walk home in this rain. Hopefully I don't get sick." The idol continued to look at the rain, but then finally decided to take a step out of the shelter, feeling the raindrops hit her. Since it was pouring, it was only a matter of seconds that Jurina was drenched by the rain. She started to walk out of Rena's property.
Sure, Rena hated idols, but she wasn't that mean of a person. Within a few seconds of contemplating to open the door or not, she finally made her decision. She opened the door and yelled out to Jurina. "Wait!" The sudden voice caught Jurina's attention and she turned around to face Rena. "Just in time," Rena thought. "What?" Jurina asked. Rena didn't know what to say next. Her mind was a jumble of words, but luckily she spoke before the awkward silence would dictate the both of them. "Um, you can stay over if you'd like. Just until the rain stops." Who would Jurina have to be to refuse that offer? She smiled, walking back to stand in front of Rena, and replying, "Thanks."
Rena opened the door wider, letting Jurina come inside. "God, you're drenched already. Wait here. I'm going to go get you a towel so you can dry up." With that, Rena left Jurina at the door, entering the bathroom and grabbing a towel. Before she went back out there, she looked at herself in the mirror, making sure she looked okay. "Oh, I should probably grab a change of clothes for her too." She said to herself. After that, she went into her room, grabbing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt for the girl. Not wanting to let Jurina wait any longer, she quickly exited her room and went back to Jurina.
"Here," Rena handed Jurina the towel and change of clothes. "And a change of clothes for you to change into. Oh, and you can take a shower if you want to. The bathroom's over there." She pointed in the direction of the bathroom, then walked into the kitchen. "If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen preparing dinner." Jurina nodded, "Thank you." After that, she took off her shoes and made her way to the bathroom to take a shower.
While Jurina was taking a shower, Rena stood in te kitchen, pondering about what to make for dinner. She looked in her rice cooker, and it seems there was no more rice left. She then opened the fridge and looked inside, taking out a few items. "I guess I'll just make some soup." She said to herself. She closed the fridge, opening a cabinet and taking out a pot, filling it up with water and letting it sit on the stove while she prepared the ingredients. When the water started to boil, she put the meat in first, leaving it until the meat was fully cooked. Then she put in all the vegetables, stirring it with a spoon every once in a while.
Just as Jurina came out of the bathroom, Rena finished cooking. Jurina smelled something good coming from the kitchen and followed the scent. "Mm~ What are you cooking?" Rena took a glance at Jurina and turned back around, replying in a cold tone, "Ah, it's you. Just some soup. Hope that's good enough for you."
Jurina nodded in reply, saying, "Yeah, soup is good." After she replied to Rena, she went into the living room, looking at he photos that were hung up.
In truth, Rena didn't know why she was acting cold towards Jurina, when really, she was starting to like her. Perhaps it was her mind that was telling her to throw away the feelings and continue hating idols like she always did, but she shook it off, taking a look outside the window. It was still raining heavily, and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon. Rena stopped looking at the rain, opening a cabinet and grabbing two bowls and two spoons from a drawer. She then filled up the two bowls with soup, taking them into the living room.
"Here," She stated, handing the bowl to Jurina, "And you should sit down." Jurina took the bowl without hesitation, sitting down on one of the couches. After Jurina sat down, Rena sat on the other couch, only paying attention to her bowl of soup. Before eating, Jurina thanked Rena. "Thanks, I was getting very hungry." Without further ado, she took a spoonful and without cooling it down, she put it in her mouth, resulting in accidentally burning her tongue. She instantly dropped her spoon back into her bowl, bringing her hand up to cover her mouth. "Ah! It's hot." Noticing the excessive movement from the other, Rena glanced over to Jurina, saying, "Of course it's hot, it just came out of the pot. You should be more careful."
"Sorry, I'll be more careful~ But you didn't even ask if I was okay. Isn't that the first thing you should ask?" Jurina smirked, waiting for Rena's answer. To that, Rena glared at Jurina, "By the way that you are talking, I would assume that you are fine." "Mou~ Rena-chan! You should be nicer to people who are younger than you!" "And you should use proper honorifics when talking to someone older than you." Rena didn't pay any mind to the idol that was sitting across from her, and instead continued eating. Jurina had also started eating again after burning her tongue, letting the silence overtake the both of them. After a few minutes, Rena finished her soup, getting up to go put her bowl away in the sink. Shortly after, Jurina also finished, following Rena.
Rena didn't know that Jurina was behind her, so when she turned around quickly, she was shocked to have her face so close to Jurina's. Their faces were only a couple inches apart, and Rena could feel her body heat rising. She tried to move, but her body wouldn't move. It's as if her body wanted her to stay like that. The both of them stared into each other's eyes for a moment, until Jurina spoke up. "You're so close~ Could it be... You want a kiss?" The younger girl smirked, leaning in closer. Rena gasped, moving out of the way before their lips could meet. There was a distinct shade of pink across Rena's face as she moved out of the way, walking back to the living room before Jurina could notice it.
After setting her bowl in the sink, Jurina went back into the living room, taking a seat on the couch that she was on before. With nothing to do, she started humming to herself, looking around the house. Noticing the humming, Rena glanced over to Jurina. Every few moments, Rena would steal glances at the idol, trying not to get caught. Unbeknownst to Rena, Jurina was also doing the same thing, taking glances. They sat in an awkward silence for some time, making both of them feel awkward. Breaking the silence, Rena spoke. "It seems the rain won't let up until tomorrow. Would you like to spend the night?" Before she could process it in her mind, it slipped out of her. Rena blinked in surprise. "Oh gosh, Rena. What did you just do?!" She mentally slapped her forehead, putting on a smile. To her surprise, Jurina accepted the offer to stay the night. Before it could get awkward again, Rena quickly spoke up. "You can use those," she said pointing to the neatly folded blanket with the pillow resting on top. "And I have an extra toothbrush that you can use. The toothbrushes are in the first drawer. You can use the bathroom first."
"Okay." Jurina nodded, standing up and heading to the bathroom. When she got in there, she opened the first drawer, finding the toothbrushes and taking one. Just when Jurina entered the bathroom, Rena remembered that she didn't replace the empty toothpaste with a new tube. She stood up quickly, going into the closet next to the bathroom to grab a new tube. Jurina looked at the empty toothpaste, taking it and opening the door. "Rena-chan, you―-" Rena turned too quickly, and with no distance between them, the two's lips met for the first time. The both of them were shocked and stayed in that position for a few seconds, until Rena pulled away, blushing. "I- I'm sorry about that." She bowed in an apologeic sense, exending her arm to give Jurina the toothpaste. "Here's the new bottle of toothpaste." After handing Jurina the new tube of toothpaste, Rena instantly turned around and went back into the living room.
She sat down on the couch, trying to calm herself down from the even that had just happened. She brought her hand up, her finger running along her lips. She couldn't believe that that had just happened. Her first kiss, gone like that. Flustered and with nothing to calm herself down, she picked up her pillow and blanket from last night and brought them into her room. She set it on her bed and lay sprawled out on her bed until she heard Jurina come out of the bathroom. She then stood up from her bed, taking her towel and a change of clothes, entering the bathroom.
Jurina sat down on the couch, leaning back on it. She couldn't believe that she and Rena had kissed, even though it was accidental. All Jurina could think about was Rena's lips. She could only think about how soft they were, how very kissable they were. If she had a chance, she would kiss them again and again. Oh, how they perfectly fit with her own. Just a little touch wasn't enough. She had to have more, wanted to taste more of Rena's lips. In the midst of thinking, Rena's voice broke her from her thoughts.
"I'll be in my room, so if you need anything, you know where to find me."
Rena didn't dare go out there, due to the event that just happened. She hid behind the wall, trying not to stutter. "You can turn off the lights whenever you want to, but no later than midnight." After stating that, she made her way to her bedroom, closing the door halfway and laying down on her bed. She was still flustered about the kiss, even though it was accidental. Her first kiss, taken in an accident that she didn't even mean to make. If she waited a bit longer, she could've avoided it. With so much thinking, Rena was even more embarassed now. So with having nothing to do, she closed her eyes.
Jurina had not changed her position even once, still sitting and thinking. Somehow, something felt wrong. It felt empty. That's when she decided that all she needed right now was a night's sleep. She stood up, going over to the lightswitch and flipping it off, then went back to the couch. She put the pillow in place and unfolded the blanket to cover her. That's when she knew what was wrong. Usually, when she slept, she'd sleep with her teddy bear, but she didn't have that now, and it was dark. Unusually dark. There was no light in the living room. All the windows were covered with the curtains, blocking any rays of moonlight. Jurina started getting scared, covering her face with the blanket. It was also quiet, too quiet for Jurina. She uncovered her face, and then she found hope. She saw a small streak of light, and so, she stood up, grabbed her pillow, and walked towards it.
When she arrived, she felt relieved. "This must be Rena's room." She hesitated a bit, before knocking lightly of the door.
Rena did not mean to fall asleep, she only wanted to close her eyes for a bit. When she heard knocking at her door, her eyes fluttered open. While still half asleep, Rena went towards the door, opening it a bit wider. In a sleepy voice, she asked, "Hm? What do you need?" "How cute," Jurina thought, but she shook her head, replying to the question. "Rena.. Can I sleep with you? I usually have my teddy bear with me, but right now I don't, so can I sleep with you?" Being half asleep, Rena nodded. "Yeah, go ahead." All she needed right now was sleep, and so, she moved aside, letting Jurina in. After Jurina got in the bed, she turned off the light and got back into the bed. Luckily she had a queen sized bed, so each of them were on their own side, backs facing each other.
The older girl knocked out right after getting in bed, while the younger one tried to sleep. Being this close to each other was a miracle by itself, but what happened to Jurina next was beyond a miracle. Rena had turned around, moving closer to Jurina and wrapping her arms around Jurina. Feeling the warmth radiate from Rena, Jurina smiled, closing her eyes as she finally drift off into dream land.
