“hey hey enanan!” mizuki said as soon as their girlfriend opened the door. they were holding a bag along with a backpack on their back. “i’m here for our sleepover, remember???” they walked in uninvited as ena stood still, possibly in shock.
“w-w-what sleepover???” she stammered. “i never agreed to that!” she gripped mizuki’s wrist, turning them around forcibly.
“yeah, you did! remember? yesterday i asked you if i could come over for the weekend, and you agreed instantly!” they explained, but then their face turned into a teasing one. “i mean, it was 4 am when we were chatting, so you were probably drowsy that you couldn’t comprehend what i said.”
ena’s face turned scarlet red, and she turned away, clearly embarrassed. “um, y-yeah probably,” she murmured. “but, i’m still happy you’re here! c’mon, let’s go to my room!” the artist held mizuki’s hand as she dragged them to her room down the hall. they went past akito’s room, who was chatting with his friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, or whoever.
ena opened her door and pushed mizuki inside, shutting and locking the door “woah! why did you lock the door????” mizuki questioned, staring at ena with confusion.
“i’m not gonna do anything to you so don’t worry!” she said, walking over to her desk. she took some cups off from it and tossed them into the garbage bag. “i’m sorry, i was clearing before you arrived.”
“for me???”
“no! it’s been too hot in my room so i just decided to clean.”
“it’s gonna get even hotter now that i’m here~”
“your jokes are so cringe!” ena grumbled. she would never admit that she loves her partner's jokes.
“you love them, though!”
ena didn’t say anything at that. she just picked up the garbage bag and tied it up. “i’ll be back, make yourself at home.”
mizuki took that literally.
when ena came back, she saw mizuki making a pillow fort on her own bed. she saw that they set up a nail polish set with a towel underneath it so nothing would get on the sheets. they also had their clothes for the weekend hung up in ena’s closet.
wow, they really took “make yourself at home” seriously…
“mizuki? are those your clothes in my closet?” ena asked, sitting on the side of the bed.
“yup! i’m making myself at home! by the way, your bed’s comfy. i don’t understand why you don’t like sleeping at night.”
“because i don’t like the sun, so i do everything at night while i sleep during the day.”
mizuki focused all their attention on the pillow fort, making sure all the pillows were put into place before turning their attention to ena again. “come on! these pillows can’t…uh—fort…themselves?”
“that was the worst thing i’ve ever heard.”
“just c’mon!”
ena started giggling as she started to get on the bed. she looked at the nail polish kit, her eyes settling on a nice color. “what color is that, mizuki?” she pointed to a certain one.
“hm? oh, i don’t really know. you want to try it?” ena nodded and mizuki grinned. “mkay!!” they picked up the color their girlfriend was interested in and opened it. “it looks…yellow? like a sunflower yellow, but more saturated.”
“can you paint my nails? i’ll paint yours!” mizuki giggled.
“you don’t have to do that for me. just sit pretty and i’ll have your nails painted in no time!” they took ena’s hands gently and started to paint.
it was about half an hour later and mizuki finished painting ena’s nails. it matched her very well. mizuki also added some designs to them. ena discovered that mizuki brought a speaker, and akito texted her saying he’ll be going out and won't be back until around 12. it’s 9 pm right now so they got time, and since they’re home alone no one would come knocking on her door beseeching to turn that awful music off.
ena plugged in the speaker and her partner connected their phone to it, going to their music playlist and choosing a song. they wanted to be romantic, kind of. so they chose a duet between them and ena. cellphone love story.
once mizuki pressed on the song, ena’s breathing hitched for a second and her cheeks turned a deep red. mizuki smiled at her being embarrassed by hearing herself sing, or, that was what they thought. the animator called ena’s name, breaking her trance of thought to look at them. they held out their hand, signaling her to dance with them.
“would you care to dance with me?”
jeez, ena was such a sucker for romance sometimes. and so was mizuki.
she took their hand and they pulled her to them, her hands landing on their chest to hold herself up. “ you’re so precious ,” was what they muttered in her ear before twirling her around and lowering her to the ground, their hand resting on her back to hold her up. they gently kissed her, pulling away as soon as the kiss started.
they danced for 10 more minutes. the song ended a long time ago. they weren’t in this for the music, they were in this for the pleasure of feeling each other. holding each other in their arms, dancing with the other.
finally, one stopped dancing. the other still holding her. “u-um, i’m sweaty, so we should go take a shower, yeah?”
“sure."
they both started playfully arguing about who would take a shower first. it ended with mizuki winning because of their cute puppy dog eyes.
when ena came out of the shower, they walked into her room with fresh clothes and sightly wet hair. she used a towel to dry her short, brown hair, then she saw mizuki sitting on the bed, clearly tired, but they were in their phone typing something. maybe they were texting an. who knows. ena threw her towel on her chair and walked over to the bed. “mizukiiii, it’s only 11 pm, are you really going to sleep now???” ena groaned which made her get side-eyed by her partner.
“yes, enanannnnn,” they mocked her. “niigo agreed not to call tonight for reasons, so why can’t i sleep? you’re going to stay up, right? just don’t wake me,” they placed their phone under the bed, clearly intending to go to sleep now.
“but, mizuuuu~” ena muttered.
“what?”
the artist started laughing, which cause mizuki to be even more confused. then suddenly, ena grabbed their wrists and pulled them up, twirling both of them around. “the night is still young! plus, it’s only saturday, tomorrow is the last day you’re here so we gotta make it worth it!!”
“ena—nan!” mizuki said, their voice sounded weird because they were being thrown around the room in a circle. but, they couldn’t be mad. ena was cute like this, and that made them happy.
after a few minutes, ena stopped, and mizuki started feeling woozy. “woah—i-i feel—“ they got cut off by ena pushing them on the bed, completely destroying the pillow fort they spent so hard making and fixing after their little dance session. ”ena! you ruined the pillow fort!”
ena got on top of them, crawling to meet their face. once their eyes met, they couldn’t stop looking at one another. ena’s gorgeous brown eyes lit up in the light. and mizuki’s gorgeous pink eyes shined.
it was silent for a few minutes. just them staring into each other eyes. it was romantic—if ena could say. mizuki softly smiled up at her. which ena wish she could do something to protect that smile forever and ever. protect them from bullies, high school, everything.
mizuki wrapped their arms around ena’s neck, pulling her closer. “i love you, enanan.”
they placed a kiss on ena’s cheek, which made her giggle cutely to herself. one of her hands settled on their cheek. “love you too, mizuki.”
their lips met, and it felt like bliss.
“alright alright! enough of being sappy, i’m tiredddd,” mizuki whined, making ena annoyed at them for ruining a special moment between them.
“oh, shut up,” she rolled off of them, stealing some pillows from the now ruined pillow fort which were originally hers in the first place. “come to bed,” she patted the empty space next to her and mizuki grinned, slowly crawling over to the space. they settled in under the covers and felt ena’s arm resting on their waist. they loved little moments like this, it really made their heart flutter.
ena didn’t realize, but mizuki had their hair down. they looked even more beautiful like this. so pretty as their hair framed their face.
ena wrapped their arms around mizuki’s whole body, pulling them closer to her. “you won’t leave me, right?” mizuki gasped lightly.
“of course not, i love you so much.”
ena giggled. “i love you too.”
they eventually fell asleep. mizuki had turned around and hugged ena back. she was too warm for her own good, but that made hugging her amazing for mizuki.
they awoke with each other in their arms. and they didn’t get out of bed until 12 pm.
