"Goodnight" Suletta whispered as she stood up and went inside the bedroom.
"Why are you...just standing there...?" Miorine asked sitting at her side of the bed as she looked at the other girl, eyes all ready to doze off until she noticed Suletta was not moving, still standing at the corner of the room.
"W-where am I s-supposed to sleep??" Suletta asked nervously.
"Beside me of course, where else?" Miorine said nonchalantly. Not really wanting to argue any further with how tired she is, she got up from the bed and approached Suletta.
"Come on now, let's sleep." She took Suletta's arm and led her to bed.
"A-a-are you s-sure??" Suletta, even more nervous now that they're beside the bed.
"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm only doing this because I thought it wouldn't be fair for someone to let their fiancé sleep on the floor." Miorine huffs as she laid on the bed, her back facing the red-haired girl, Suletta just sighs as she laid beside her.
Probably because of her sleepiness, she totally didn't notice that she completely forgot to let go of the other girl's arm, as she places it on her waist.
Thoroughly flustered Suletta is, "M-M-Miorine my-"
"Hug me." Miorine murmured while Suletta's arms freeze in place.
The Mercurian girl sounded a short "E-Eh??" before her arms get tugged lightly.
"Like..I..said...don't get...the wrong idea........" Miorine dozed off before she even get to finish her sentence.
Suletta smiled tenderly at the other girl's stubbornness as she moved closer and finally embraced the already sleeping girl.
=•=
Miorine woke up first, feeling arms wrapped around her waist as she unconsciously drew herself closer to whoever's hugging her.
Her face got red by embarassment as the realization hits her. She quickly sat up, the sudden movement waking up the girl beside her. Suletta let out a small hum as she looked at Miorine with half-lidded eyes, arms still loosely clinging onto Miorine's waist.
"G-good morning." Miorine gushed as she put her face in her hands, still embarrassed from the position they were in.
Suletta quickly caught on and also sat up. "Good morning Miorine." she said, stretching her arms.
"I'm sorry, did your arms get numb?" Miorine asked as she faced Suletta and held a hand to caress the other girl's left arm.
"N-no, I mean y-yes but it's fine, really!!" Suletta finally fully waking up, lightly jolting upon the touch and going back to her nervous self.
"Are you sure?" the white-haired girl asked as she got off the bed. "You have a test today right? You should probably start getting ready." she added as she went out of the bedroom to check her plants.
Suletta also got up from the bed and organized it before following Miorine.
"There's a bathroom inside the bedroom, you can take a shower there. I'm going out to pick up breakfast." Suletta nodded as Miorine leaves the room.
=•=
Their day went on as usual. As Suletta failed her test over and over again crying in the middle of it all.
"I want to go home!!" she sobbed as Miorine pushed her "Don't you want to build a school?!!! You chose this for yourself so go back to the starting point Suletta!"
Suletta then got involved in a fight with the people who sabotaged her mobile suit.
"You can join our house." said Nika. "R-really?!??" Suletta chimed.
They went on and Chuchu finally agreed to let Suletta join, "Even though I'm a first-year, I'm still higher than you, in house terms, you got that??" Chuchu exclaimed, still vexed at the situation as she walks away.
"I look forward to working with you Chuchu-senpai". Suletta murmured. Chuchu looked back one last time as she huffed, "Speak up."
=•=
Suletta walked Miorine home. "Congrats." Miorine spoke up as the walk was rather silent.
"T-thanks." Suletta replied as they arrived at the front door of Miorine's home.
"You should get goi-" "C-c-can I s-sleep w-w-with you again t-tonight??" they said at the same time.
"Hah?!??" Miorine yelled, confused and slightly annoyed.
"S-sorry!!!! It's f-fine if you don't w-want to....!!!" Suletta apologized just as loud as Miorine's yell.
Miorine stared at her for far too long so she started nervously rambling "I-I really had a g-good sleep yesterday, a-and I really l-liked being w-with y-you M-M-Miorine so I just w-wanted to ask if I-"
"Fine." Miorine sighs as she opened the door.
"W-wait really??" Suletta exclaimed, "Don't get the wrong ide-" Miorine whispered but she stopped as she realized that she ran out of excuses.
"What was that?" Suletta asked, thoroughly confused.
"Nothing! I said I was going out to pick up dinner!!" Miorine replied, louder than usual.
"Oh o-okay" Suletta, still confused, just nodded her head. Miorine quickly got up and went outside, nearly tripping over nothing as she quietly slammed the door behind her.
=•=
Soon, they were laying beside each other again. Changed into their fluffy pajamas. Miorine's back facing Suletta.
"Suletta, what's Mercury like?" Miorine asked as she turned to face the other girl.
"Hm? It's fine, although the land and resources are a bit scarce, everyone is trying to help each other in some way. Oh and me and Aerial too! We were always helping people." Suletta beamed excitedly as she tells Miorine her adventures in Mercury.
"How about Earth? What do you think Earth's like?" Suletta soon asked.
"I don't know, the people I met said Earth is beautiful, it has vast oceans, breathtaking sceneries, a lot of trees and plants and also the people are nice." Miorine replied smiling lovingly as she imagines how it would be like to step a foot on Earth.
"Wow, I'd really love to visit Earth someday!!" Suletta exclaimed, very much interested in the stories Miorine is willing to tell.
They talked more and more, sleepiness soon taking over both of them.
As they were about to sleep, Miorine silently murmured one last time, only enough for both of them to hear. "Hug..me..."
Suletta gazed at her fondly as she gently took the other girl in her arms. "Good night, Miorine."
