“It’s cramped.”
Kasumi is lying with her back against the wall. Her favorite spot is the middle, because it’s the warmest and being squished between two people is always much better than being pushed against the wall, but Rina fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow and Kasumi had to squeeze herself into bed somewhere .
“The bed wasn’t really made for three people,” Shizuku says from the opposite side of the bed. She’s at the edge, where she always is. “Especially not when one of us likes to sleep sprawled out. And diagonally.”
Kasumi doesn’t think it’s fair that Shizuku always gets the edge. Sometimes Kasumi wants the edge too. If she got hungry in the middle of the night, it would be a lot easier to sneak out of the bedroom to get a snack without waking anyone (Shizuku) up and getting judged.
“I sleep in the shape of a star because I am a star,” Kasumi says. Rina wiggles an inch away from her. Kasumi wiggles an inch away from the wall. Better, but still a bit stuffy.
The room is silent.
“I’m going to sleep.” Kasumi can hear Shizuku shifting in bed, rolling to her side. “Good night.”
Kasumi pouts. When she realizes it’s too dark to see and that Shizuku has her back facing her, she pouts again- this time, there’s a whine to go with it.
Rina grumbles a bit and rolls onto her back. She stretches her arms up in the air before bringing them down on top of both Kasumi and Shizuku. “I’m sleeping.”
“Not anymore,” Kasumi says with a grin. She wraps her arms and legs around Rina, who only grumbles again before nuzzling against her. “Switchy.”
“She can’t when you’re on her like that,” Shizuku says. She says it in a tone Kasumi recognizes and Kasumi knows that she’s rolling her eyes.
Rina nods but, instead of letting go, Kasumi uses all the strength she has in her small body to lift Rina. She only makes it on top of Kasumi before her arms give out. Kasumi whines and wiggles out from under Rina. Rina isn’t heavy at all but Kasumi can’t handle more than a feather filled pillow on top of her.
Once in the middle, Kasumi immediately rolls onto her side, grabs Rina’s wrist, and moves it over her waist. Rina moves closer to her and Kasumi sighs happily when she can feel Rina’s body against her back and her arm wrapped snug around her waist. She moves her own arm around Shizuku and pulls her body against her own.
“I’m trying to sleep,” Shizuku mumbles. She puts a hand on Kasumi’s, which only makes Kasumi squeeze harder. “Leave me alone.”
“Teddy bear,” Rina says, nuzzling her cheek against Kasumi’s shoulder.
Kasumi nods, matter of factly, and presses kisses to the back of Shizuku’s neck. “I sleep better when I’m squished.”
Shizuku rolls her eyes again. Kasumi can’t see it, but she knows. She rolls over to her other side to face Kasumi. It’s dark, but Kasumi can at least make out the details in Shizuku’s face now. “You were just complaining about being cramped. Isn’t this worse?”
“It’s better!” Kasumi moves her hands up and cups Shizuku’s face. She squeezes it, squishes her cheeks together, and smiles wide.
“It’s comfy.” Rina props herself up on her elbow to peek over Kasumi’s shoulder. “Comfy and warm.”
“I suppose.” Shizuku puffs out her cheeks and Kasumi squishes them back together. She blows a puff of air into Kasumi’s face. “Now go to sleep.”
“How am I supposed to sleep when you’re bullying me!?” Kasumi whines and kicks her legs about.
Rina moves her own leg around them to stop her. “You asked for it.”
“Hmph.” Kasumi whimpers and rolls onto her back. “I can’t sleep without a good night kiss.”
“Yes you can.” Shizuku starts to shift in her spot. She’s getting ready to move back to her other side, but she stops when Kasumi grabs her hand. “Good night.”
Kasumi closes her eyes and puckers her lips, bouncing their interlocked hands on the space between them.
Long hair tickles her cheeks and the scent of bubble gum surrounds her. She feels a pair of lips graze against her own and goes in for a few pecks. She knows it’s Rina because her kisses are soft and light.
“Good night, Kasumi.” Rina yawns and nuzzles her nose against Kasumi’s cheek. Her head is back on the pillow she shares with Kasumi.
“Night night, Rinako~” Kasumi puts her free hand on Rina’s arm. Her tone shifts. “Good night, Shizuku. I guess.” She closes her eyes again. They’re getting heavy.
She’s awoken by lavender only a few seconds later. She doesn’t open her eyes when she feels kisses against her cheek and turns her head to face the culprit, who cups her cheek and leans in for one more kiss. It’s a bit more forceful than Rina’s, but it’s still soft. Instead of a collection of pecks, it’s just one slow kiss. It’s nice.
“Good night, Shizuko~” Kasumi sings and goes in for one more kiss.
Shizuku doesn’t say anything for a while. She just snuggles closer to Kasumi and wraps her arm around her, right below where Rina has her arm. Her other hand is still between the two of them, fingers interlaced.
“Good night, Kasumi.”
