Ina hummed a joyful tune, only somewhat concentrating on the carrots she was chopping for tonight's stew. She had to make sure to cut them finely so they would be soft enough for Gura's liking. Amelia on the other hand, didn't really mind, so there was that.
Ina felt herself smiling as a warm blush crept upon her at the thought her her two amazing girlfriends. The two were in the gaming den in the room above the kitchen, finishing a stream. Every now and then, she'd either hear Gura scream in the recorder like way she did (Amelia often joked she could compete with Calli's own recorder skills), or Amelia bang on the desk in a failure fuelled fury, only to be laughed at by Gura. Just listening to them made Ina's heart ache and swell with love and jealousy. One the one hand, she loved both of them with all her heart, but on the other hand she wanted nothing more than to be up there with them, cracking jokes and laughing.
Ina shook her head, ridding herself of theses thoughts, smiling as she heard Gura scream out of pure frustration for the 11th time that night. Moments like that made Ina realise she didn't really care about being left out every now and then. Of course she couldn't spend every minute of every day with the two of them and everyone needed some alone time. Just as long as they were happy, she was happy (as cliché as it sounded).
It was just as Ina put everything in the sink to be cleaned did her two lovable gremlins appear in the homey kitchen. Gura happily barrelled into Ina, giving the priestess as tight hug, her tail wagging back and forth and she rubbed her face on her like a cat. Amelia just smiled, manoeuvring around the shark to give Ina a kiss on the cheek, threading her fingers through Ina's hair while the other moved Ina's hand away from the dishes.
"Here love, you can leave the cleaning to us tonight" Amelia mumbled affectionately into Ina's ear. Behind her, Gura placed a quick kiss to the back of the priestess' neck, nodding along to Amelia's statement. Ina just chuckled with their antics. Sure there were times she felt a little left out, especially on those rough days when AO-Chan got a little too loud, but Amelia and Gura always made it up to her.
"It's fine. If you really insist on helping you can put away the leftover food. Also put the scraps in the compost bin this time" Ina raised her eyebrow playfully at Gura who just casually brushed it off with a nervous wave of her hand. Amelia just laughed.
The three worked in comfortable silence, with the only sounds being words of affection that they exchanged.
While cleaning, Ina winced feeling the sensation of a knife blade against her skin. She flicked the excess water off of her hand so she could examine the small cut better. It wasn't too bad, just a minor cut that wouldn't even be visible in a few days.
"Hey Ina, watcha looking at?" Amelia playfully looked over Ina's shoulder, grasping the hand Ina was examining. Ina flicked her ear flaps, her ear tips turning red at the touch.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing. I just accidentally cut my finger tip. Should be fine" Ina leaned back into Amelia's embrace. Gura on the other hand, gasped loudly and dramatically at Ina's statement. The two of them looked over to see Gura pull out a wrap bandage from the cupboard filled with various first-aid treatments.
"Step aside Watson and leave this injury to the medical professionals" Gura proclaimed, gently nudging Amelia to the side. Amelia just scoffed, hugging Ina tighter. Ina just stood there, caught in the crossfire of her girlfriends shenanigans.
"Leave it to you? Please! Unlike you, I actually have a PhP in medical science" Amelia playfully reached out to take the bandage out of Gura's hand, only to have it snatched away by the shark.
"Isn't it a PhD?" Gura raised her eyebrow in confusion. Ina hid a chuckled behind her hand while Amelia looked like she had to reboot quickly.
"Whatever" Amelia just shrugged it off. Gura shrugged too and immediately resumed trying to make her out of the way so she could wrap Ina's barely scratched pointer finger.
"Gura, I think I'm fine. Look, it's not even bleeding" Ina ruffled Gura's hair joyfully, prompting a few laughs out of the shark. Gura quickly pouted, pushing Ina's hand away in a fake offended way.
"Are you super sure? I can't in good consciousness let a patient walk away without treatment" Gura looked away and crossed her arms in a very tsundere manner. Ina smirked, a bright idea coming to mind.
"Well, if you insist, I suppose I could use a kiss or two from my two favourite people in the world" She gave Amelia and Gura an innocent look, only to be cut off as Gura jumped on to her, pressing their lips together.
Ina laughed at the shark's enthusiasm, returning the kiss with just as much vigour. Behind them, Amelia looked insulted that she wasn't being involved in this situation.
"Gura, I meant you could kiss the cut better, but this if fine too" Ina mumbled against Gura's lips. Gura felt her face heat up and flush in embarrassment. Gura pulled away hesitantly, gently lacing her fingers with Ina's, bringing the cut finger tip to her and giving it a quick kiss.
"Stop hogging Ina all to yourself fish breath" Amelia chided. Gura just stuck out her tongue at Amelia, hugging Ina a little tighter to mock the detective.
"C'mon Gura~ At least let me have my arms back so I can give Ame some affection" Gura grumbled, but released Ina's arms from her death grip. Amelia shook her head fondly and gave Gura and quick kiss on the forehead. The shark let a small smile slip through her angry façade, but quickly changed it. Ina and Amelia both laughed softly.
Amelia took Ina's hand in her own, gently placing a kiss to the tip of the cut finger. It was a lot more gentle than Gura's and the overall touch made Ina flush to the base of her neck and her heart flutter. Honestly, she though this was a whole overreaction on Gura and Amelia's half, but Ina let them indulge on being sweet.
Amelia caught Ina's eyes, the detective's own twinkling mischievously. Ame leaned up and quickly caught Ina's lips, much like Gura did before. Ina giggled as Amelia gently cupped the priestess' cheeks.
"Hey! I am still here you know?" Gura waved her arms around like a child, obviously not happy with being left out.
"Hey Ina, do you hear anything?" Amelia smirked, practically feeling the glare Gura was sending her way.
"I think it's just the stew cooking" Ina responded. The stew... Wait. WAIT SHE HAD LEFT THE STEW COOKING ON A HOT TEMPERATURE.
"THE STEW" Ina cried out, pulling away from Amelia to salvage what she could of the boiling broth.
