Zooming down the streets of Tokyo, Masuki Satou was on her way to her girlfriends to pick her up for band practice. Despite it only being early spring, it was surprisingly nice outside. The sky was very bright and clear, and you could even wear shorts if desired. She eventually got to Rokka’s family's bathhouse, and saw a sight that confused her. Rokka standing there wearing a heavy sweatshirt and pants, without her guitar on her back and looking as if she was ready to collapse at any moment. Her cheeks were flush, her nose and eyes red.
“Hey Masuki! Are you ready to go?” Rokka says quietly with a hoarse voice when she realizes that Masuki has arrived to pick her up
“You ok?” Masuki asks Rokka, with genuine concern hearing and seeing her girlfriend like that
“Yeah I’m fine it” sneeze “it’s just allergies or a cold, I’m fine.” She replies, horribly convincing Masuki that she is in fact, ok.
“No come on let me feel your forehead,” Masuki says while shoving her hand near her girlfriend's face, already feeling heat coming off of it despite not touching her yet. When she finally places her hand on Rokka’s forehead, she notices how it feels like she just stuck her hand over a fire.
“You're burning up! I’m not letting you go to practice.” Masuki begins to bring her motorcycle to her usual parking spot when Rokka begins her small protests.
“I’m fine! I” cough “can go!”
“Hmmm. Well if you won’t willingly not go,” Masuki starts while walking back to where Rokka is “I’ll just have to make you!” She finishes with a grin while leaning down to pick up Rokka bridal style, hearing a small noise of distress coming out of her
“Wait! I’m gonna need to get the door up to get us inside. I’m gonna have to put you down, I’m sorry” Masuki tells Rokka, seeming genuinely saddened by this.
“Hehe, funny story. The door is still up cause I felt too tired to pull it back down.” Rokka says, her voice slowly going out the more she says
“Ah, you’re so cute.” Masuki leans down to kiss Rokka’s cheek, her eyes going wide but then normal and snuggling into Masuki’s arms.
They walk inside the building and back to where Rokka’s room is, with her seemingly enjoying being held by her love in this way the longer it has gone on. Masuki gently places Rokka on her bed when they get back to Rokka’s room and turns right back around to leave the room.
“I’m gonna close the door and tell Chu2 we won’t be there today. Be right back.” Masuki gently closes Rokka’s door and leaves Rokka alone in her room. She slightly hears the door hitting the floor, and hears Masuki’s voice a couple moments after.
“We’re not gonna be there today. Rokka’s sick. No, I'm not leaving her here alone. What, you’re not gonna tell PAREO? Choo Ch- oh she hung up”
Moment’s after, Masuki opens the door to Rokka’s room and gently closes the door again. She plops down next to Rokka on her bed
“So, you need anything?”
“No. Can we just,” Rokka pauses for a brief moment before speaking again “can we cuddle?”
Masuki looks confused for a moment before she starts speaking. “We’ve been dating for over a year. You know you don’t need to ask for these things.”
Before Masuki can finish her sentence, Rokka shoves her body next to Masuki, curling her arms around Masuki’s torso, and placing her head in the crook of her neck.
“Yeah but you look really cute when I ask!” Trying to hide her cheeks that are now pink, Masuki places her arm around Rokka to hold her closer. They sit there for a while, taking comfort from being close to each other. Eventually Rokka’s body starts becoming more heavy and limp, and her hold on Masuki goes down.
“Masuki?” Rokka quietly says, moving her head up to look at her face.
“Yeah?”
“I love you!”
“I love you too.” Rokka places her head back into the crook of Masuki’s neck, and soon soft snores start leaving her mouth.
Masuki silently wishes either of them would be sick more often.
