Kumiko wakes up with a start. A beautiful one, if you will.
Before her was a sleeping Reina and, oh god, it's definitely been way too long since they've done thisㅡ because she doesn't remember the last time her heartbeat picked up this erratically, and she definitely doesn't remember the last time she's had the palm of her hands sweating hard at the sight before her.
Craaap. This isn't good for my poor heart...
Kumiko closes her eyes tight, as if the act will scare her thoughts and feelings away. Get it together, Kumiko!
But her body betrays her instead, and she finds herself staring back at Reina again, from the way her lips were slightly parted adorably, to the way the early sun's rays fall perfectly on her sleeping face... Kumiko's heart pounds louder by the minute.
Kumiko instinctively inches closer, so close that she could probably count off Reina's eyelashes. Her eyes trail down to Reina's supple lips andㅡ god, how are they so perfect?!
She was close enough to steal a kiss...
But I really shouldn't… Kumiko bit her bottom lip. As much as how tempting it is at this moment, the last thing she'd want to do is to ruin the friendship she's tried so hard to maintain despite her… confusing feelings. Well… Maybe a quick one wouldn't hurt… Right?
She slowly leans in, closes her eyes…
… Only to hesitate mere centimetres away from Reina. Kumiko's face burns in embarrassment as she begins to realize her actions. Wait. What the hell am I doing?! I should stop beforeㅡ
Kumiko's train of thoughts suddenly derails, and she almost chokes on the spot. Reina's eyes are wide open, purple eyes peering up at her with an unclear expression settling on her face.
Kumiko makes a strange gwah! noise as her whole body jolts up in shock. "R-Reina! Iㅡ"
"If you won't do it, then I will."
"Wait, whㅡ"
Reina reaches out her arms and, in a flash, any excuses threatening to leave Kumiko's mouth was silenced by the feeling of Reina's soft lips pressing against hers.
Her eyes widen and she stiffens for a split second, (Because 'Oh my god, Reina’s kissing me?!' ) before she soon closes her eyes once their lips begin to move in their own synchronized dance.
Kumiko’s heart flutters at the little kisses they leave on each other’s lips - gentle, yet cautious. Kumiko slides her arms around Reina's waist, who was too busy to even notice the touch as she gingerly wraps her arms around Kumiko’s neck.
Kumiko leaves a few more kisses before she parts away, and instead hastily begins to trail her lips over Reina’s jawline. The latter lets out small gasps, her face heatening the more the euphonium player's lips pressed itself onto her skin. “K-Kumiko…”
Reina's clutches the auburn locks in her hand, eyes shut tight as she feels an electrical wave of heat surge through her body as Kumiko's delicate kisses descend lower and lower, from her neck to her collarbone...
... before Kumiko sees fit that she's drawn a line, and firmly places her lips atop Reina's once again. It definitely feels more heated nowㅡ with the way Kumiko hungrily tugs at Reina's bottom lip. She gasps as she opens her mouth, only to feel Kumiko's tongue push into it.
Before their kisses could get any deeper, Reina begins to panic, silently squirming away from Kumiko's grasp before finally resorting to her last option of escapeㅡ suddenly biting on Kumiko's tongue.
" Ow! " Kumiko pulls away in pain, as if the action was the equivalent of being burnt. Which, in all honesty, felt very much like it. "Reinㅡ"
What silenced Kumiko almost immediately was a sight she didn't expect to see in the slightest; a very , very flushed Reina, panting heavily and covering her increasingly reddening face with her free hand.
She averts her gaze elsewhere while keeping a hand on Kumiko’s arm to steady herself. "Let’s… Let’s get breakfast first, okay?"
Kumiko tries to let out her words while in a daze, but what leaves her mouth is a convoluted mess in itself. "Uh, yeah! Breakfast first! Haha..."
Reina hops off the bed in a hurry, and makes a beeline for the door, leaving Kumiko to backtrack everything by herself.
Ooooh my god. She silently screams as she covers her burning face with her hands. That was so hot.
“Kumiko.”
Kumiko jolts up from the bed, slightly surprised to see Reina by the door, not leaving the euphonium player just yet. “Yeah?”
“Come here.” Reina says with a gentle yet firm tone, urging the euphonium player to follow her orders. Of course, the auburn-haired girl complies with haste.
By the time she reaches the trumpet player, the latter tugs her by the wrist, softly places her hand on the euphonist's cheek, and leaves her a gentle peck on the lips.
"You're terrible for doing that, you know?" Reina mutters under her breath as she pulls away from the euphonist, her cheeks slightly tinged with a soft hue of red.
It takes a while for Kumiko to snap out of her dumbfounded state, before she gently laughs at the way Reina's lips curve to form a small pout. "Sorry… You're just... so addicting."
Reina snorts at the comment, Kumiko turning beet-red in realization. "You made that sound corny, Kumiko."
"Y-You're so mean…"
"But," Reina leaves a small peck on the euphonist's lips, leaving her in yet another dazeㅡ an effect the trumpet player always seemed to have on Kumiko, "That's what I love about you."
“Then… are we...” Kumiko breathes out as she locks her hazy eyes with Reina’s. The latter hums in contentment as she delicately places her forehead against Kumiko’s, still unwilling to move her hand away.
“I suppose we are.” Reina whispers as she shuts her eyes, a small smile playing on her lips. "This is a confession of love, after all."
Kumiko lets out a small laugh as she slowly places her hand over Reina's, heart fluttering at the trumpet player's honesty as she delicately traces intricate patterns on her soft skin. “That’s such a Reina thing to say.”
Reina opens her eyes, the smile plastered on her face remains unwavering. They stay like that for a moment longer, not wanting to break away just yet.
Unfortunately, moments like these must always come to an endㅡ especially due to a loud growling coming from the stomach of a certain trumpet player.
Kumiko tries to hold back her laughter as Reina's face explodes in different shades of red.
"Pfft," Kumiko's voice shakes from the struggle of holding in her laughter as she trails behind a very embarrassed Reina. "You really meant it when you said we needed breakfast, huh."
"Why else would I stop halfway through that?"
"I don't know, maybe you didn't like it or something…"
"Geez, Kumiko. Not only is your personality terrible, but your way of thinking is too."
" Hey! What is that supposed to mean?! "
