Chapter Text
Unpacking is hell. Especially when you've just move into a different living space.
And right now, that is the problem that Gigi and Cecilia's biggest problem. But there seems to be another problem to add on top of that.
"Ceci..."
"But I don't wanna clean upppppp."
"Yeah but we can't leave these boxes just laying around here."
Gigi had a sudden déjà vu after saying that, it felt like she said that yesterday already to Cecilia.
"Uuuugghhhhhh."
"Also can you get off me pleaseeee."
"I don't wannaaaaa!!"
Cecilia was again, stuck to her beloved. She was tightly clinging onto her waist, begging her not to get up off the couch and to just lounge around and cuddling the whole day.
"Ceci, you promised yesterday that we'd unpack today."
"I know... but-"
"No buts."
"Fiiiiiiine..."
Cecilia finally agrees—reluctantly.
"Good girl." Gigi praises her and gives her a pat on the head.
The couple moved to the piles of boxes in one of the corners in the room.
"We should organize this."
"Yeah, good thing I labeled the boxes, huh."
"Mhm, I have such a diligent girlfriend."
"Hehe, praise me more!"
Gigi moves up and gives her lover some love for her hard work
"Good girl, Ceci."
"Hehehe, I am I am!!"
Gigi smiles fondly at her lover—of course she does, she loves seeing her lover's reaction when Gigi praises her. To her, Cecilia's smile is the best view, after all.
"Alright alright, that's enough, if we can finish this up quick, we can probably just chill on the couch or something."
Hearing those words, Cecilia instantly received a huge amount of motivation.
"Alright! Let's finish this!"
"Ain't you fired up, Ceci."
"Well of course I'm fired up! anything to be able to snuggle up to you quicker."
Gigi grins at her lover's reasoning. "Cute" she thought to herself
"Okay, first, we should organize the boxes and figure out which would go to which rooms."
"Wow you're really fired up."
"Hehe, praise me more!"
"Okay okay, if I keep doing that we won't finish up any time soon."
"Okaaaay."
"Right, organize the boxes... shouldn't be too hard since you labeled everything."
The two then worked their ass off and organized each boxes and which rooms it should go to, and as expected—the two finished that quite quickly. Heavy boxes were also not much of a problem since they're practically a retired soldier.
"Hmm?"
At the corner of Gigi's eyes, she sees an unfamiliar box.
"What's this box here?"
"OH! that's- would you like to see?"
Cecilia seemed shy when she said that and it intrigued Gigi.
"Is it your stuff? I don't want to just look into your stuff."
"No- well, you can just open it up..."
"Alright, if you say so."
Gigi opens the box and was surprised to see what was inside.
"Ceci... This is-"
"It's us..."
Cecilia's shoulder leans into Gigi's.
"It's everything we went through... our first encounter, our first fight, our first date, and even our first night together..."
Gigi can't help but be astounded as she looked through the piles upon piles of pictures and old mementos.
The two had gone through a lot, after all. but she didn't expect Cecilia to have so many of these physical memories of them together.
She looks at each picture, and each memento that was in the box. she felt... glad, relieved, even.
But as she looked through the pictures, she was suddenly taken aback. Cecilia noticed the change in Gigi and when she saw what Gigi was holding, she was surprised and flustered.
What Gigi had found was... pictures of her... sleeping? and there's like a dozen of them too.
"Cecilia?"
Cecilia looks away, avoiding all eye contact.
"Y-yeah...?"
"What're these?"
"Th-that's- um-"
"Pfft-"
"Wha- DON'T LAUGH AT MY COLLECTION!"
"COLLECTION?? HAHAHAHA, THIS IS TOO MUCH, CECI!"
Watching this, Cecilia can't help but to laugh together with Gigi. Cecilia really loves moments like these where they just laughs at absurd things. (a dozen pictures of sleeping Gigi didn't seem to be absurd to her though)
"Hey so uhh... you're not gonna throw it away right?"
"No? Why?"
"You don't think it's weird?"
"Meh, I've seen weirder things from you."
"Huh?"
"Yeah, what, did you not notice me looking at you sniffing my clothes?"
"WHAT- You- saw...?"
"Uh huh, took a pic too."
"WHAT! PLEASE DELETE THAT!"
"Nuh nuh."
"P-please...?"
"Nope, since you have all these pictures of me, I'll have this one all of myself. Call it an equivalent exchange."
Gigi winks at Cecilia and she shrunk in defeat.
"I- I guess that's fair..."
"Hehehe, of course it is. I'm very fair, after all."
"It's still hella embarrassing though..."
"You'll live. Anyways, we should continue with this."
"Yeah, we're almost done with organizing everything too."
"Mhm, So where do you want this box to go to?"
"The bedroom should be fine."
"The bedroom?"
"Just put it there. please."
"Okay okay."
Gigi can't help but to laugh at the reaction. What reason could it be for her to want this in the bedroom I wonder? Gigi picks up the box after thinking for a while and putting it in the bedroom.
The two swiftly worked through the boxes and unpacked their things after a few hours. Gigi went for a drink after all the work but was stopped when she sees an empty room close to their bedroom.
"Hey, Ceci."
"Yeah?"
"What do you want this room to be?"
Cecilia quickly moves to the noise, Gigi was in front of an empty room—probably big enough for another bedroom.
"We already have our work rooms and our game room. what should we use this for?"
"Well I have an idea..."
Cecilia looked away and Gigi knows that look on her face. she thinks of every possible thing Cecilia could be thinking. Then it hit her.
A baby room.
Gigi's eyes instantly widen at the thought. She knows her lover and she also knows what Cecilia is thinking almost all the time.
"Oh."
"Y-yeah..."
A potential child.
"Alright, yeah. I guess we can just keep this room like this. maybe get a bed too just in case."
"Yeah."
Cecilia leans into her girlfriend and Gigi wraps her left hand on Cecilia's waist.
"Hey, Ceci?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you happy?"
"Being here with you like this has been the happiest I've ever been."
"Glad to hear that."
The couple looked at each other fondly—they move their faces closer to each other and their lips met for a soft kiss.
