Work Text:
Nikki’s eyes squinted to keep the light out of them. She must have forgotten to close the curtains last night. Nikki moved her hand over her eyes to keep the sun out of them. It was so bright out too. Nikki looked over at the bedside clock.
7:40
So I woke up early for nothing?
Nikki turned on her back when she felt a weight on her abdomen. Nikki turned her head to look at what was next to her. Nikki turned and came face to face with dirty blonde hair. It took Nikki a second before she remembered her girlfriend just moved in a few days previously. Minami had her arm around Nikki’s waist as she slept. Nikki turned her head back to the window and saw the boxes all over the room.
Ahh right. Mina just moved in.
Nikki whipped her eyes to try to wake up.
“Hmmgg,” Minami groaned.
Nikki turned to her side to face Minami. Minami's features looked so soft as she slept. Even with a messy bedhead, she was still beautiful. Nikki pushed back Minami’s hair out of her face and tucked it behind Minami’s ear. Nikki bent down a little and kissed the crown of Minami’s head. Nikki just wanted to study Minami’s face a bit longer. The background noise of cars going by and people starting their day didn’t seem as loud either. Nikki ran her pointer and middle finger along Minami’s cheek. Was she being hella sappy and a bit cringy but she couldn’t help herself.
“Hmmhh,” Minami furrowed her brow as she stirred awake.
“Sorry, did I wake you?” Nikki asked.
“Hmh maybe,” Minami stretched. “What time is it?”
Nikki looked over at the time again. “7:45,”
“Oh that’s so early,” Minami hummed. “Wait… what day is it?”
“Monday…?” Nikki tried to remember.
“Oh shoot!” Minami sat up super fast. “My interview! Ahh, I must have forgotten the alarm last night! Ahh,”
“You mean the one about the Nanami corp?!” Nikki started to panic as well.
“Yes! The big wigs were exposed for their shady dealing by the CEO’s own son. I know Ryusui so I was able to get a once in a lifetime interview. Oh shoot oh shoot,” Minami got out of the bed and rested on the unpacked boxes for her clothes. “Nikki!”
“Third box next to the window,” Nikki got out of the bed to get ready.
“I love you so much,” Minami sighed in relief. “Oh and my-,”
“The box to the right,” Nikki responded. “I got breakfast,”
“Thank you so much! I can’t believe I forgot. I had it down on all my calendars and everything! Ugh stupid stupid stupid,” Minami ranted from the bedroom. “And ugh it’s going to be filmed too!”
“Filmed?” Nikki asked.
“It’s for some kind of documentary that has been following Ryusui,”
“So he’s not just doing this out of the goodness of his heart,” Nikki laughed.
“Knowing him he probably is but he probably “desires” people to hear about it,” Minami explained. “He’s a good guy once you get past… all of it,”
“Right right,” Nikki measured the water in the rice cooker.
“Makeup?”
“Check under the sink,”
“Right, I used it yesterday,” Nikki swore she could hear the eye roll.
Nikki threw some shock microwaveable Miso in and got the plates as that cooked.
“I swear if I hear anything about how I looked rushed I’ll hit them with my heel,” Minami huffed.
“Relax Mina, you always look good,” Nikki reassured her girlfriend.
“Thanks, Nikki, but you wouldn’t believe the pigs that work above me,” Minami complained. “I want to see the look on their faces when I take their job,”
“Shove it in their faces while you’re at it,”
Beep beep
Nikki flipped open the rice cooker's lid and took a spoonful and put it in two bowls.
Beep beer
“Miso’s ready,” Nikki called.
“My heels are by the door right?” Minami asked.
“The black ones?” Nikki peaked her head down the hallway.
“Yeah,”
“Yeah, they’re there,” Nikki answered.
“I’m just going to put my hair up. Should be fine,” Minami came out of the bedroom, getting all her hair in one hand to tie it up.
“Miso is in the microwave,” Nikki put the rice bowl down.
“Got it takes Nikki,” Minami pulled her hair through her hair tie.
Minami rushed to eat the rice with her chopsticks. She didn’t even sit down in her chair. She just put her notepad down on the table and scarfed down the rice. Minami got her rice down and put the bowl back on the table.
Minami looked at her watch. “Ahh shoot! I’ll have to pick up something at the train station. Sorry
Nikki!” Minami rushed to get her heels on.
Nikki noticed Minami’s notepad still on the table “Oh Minami you forgot something!”
“Oh right duh!” Minami hit her palm on her forehead. “I can’t believe I almost forgot,”
“Yeah here-,” Nikki started when Minami cut her off with a kiss.
“A goodbye kiss of course. Anyway-,” Minami started
“Mina I meant your notepad,” Nikki blushed, putting out the notepad.
