The first thing Airi feels when she stirs awake is an unexpected warmth. Sure, usually her room wasn’t cold, but this was a different kind of warmth from the one her heater and mound of stuffed animals could provide. Slowly fluttering her eyes open, she took in the sights before her. The warm sunlight seeping through the window, the white walls lighting up around her, and after a bit more blinking, she noticed the two people next to her.
Airi herself was clinging onto Mizuki, hands around their waist as they hugged her close. It made Airi blush slightly at the super close contact between the two, and the pure blissful expression on Mizuki’s face. On Mizuki’s stomach lay Airi’s hand, intertwined with that of Nene, sleeping on the other side of Mizuki. Nene was also sleeping soundly, although Airi could tell she was stirring a bit. Airi smiled at the sight before her. The two had decided to crash at Mizuki’s place the night prior, probably just didn’t want to go home, which was usual for their hangouts.
Airi let her eyes close again and nestled into Mizuki’s side, squeezing Nene’s hand softly. The idol knew that she had wanted to be with someone eventually, but to have not one, but two loving girlfriends was a miracle. As she got comfortable again, she felt the hand she held by her own begin to tremble. Opening her eyes and peering over her partner, she saw Nene begin to rub her eyes with her free hand, before gazing over at Airi with the absolute cutest sleepy eyes.
“Morning, Nene.” Airi whispered, giving Nene’s hand another squeeze. Nene gave a sigh in response as she reciprocated the gesture, a small grumble escaping her lips. It wasn’t always the easiest task to get Nene up and running in the mornings, Airi could sympathize, but still, it wouldn't hurt to give her a little push. Airi leaned up on her elbow, brought Nene’s hand up and gave a soft, gentle kiss to the back of it.
Airi expected some sort of blush or flustered reaction from her girlfriend, but Nene either forgot to be flustered, or was simply too tired to care, cause after a small jolt and sigh, Nene herself propped herself up as well, and without warning, eased forward til her lips met with Airi’s in a similarly soft embrace. Airi could feel the heat rise to her face, but something about Nene’s sleepy cuteness and her own fatigue made her worries melt away. The kiss didn’t last long, but felt like just enough as the two separated with a soft smile. As they stared at each other, Airi felt she could get lost in Nene’s beautiful emerald eyes, but a sigh from underneath her stole her attention, along with Nene’s.
Mizuki laid there, still seemingly fast asleep, even if the bodies they had their arms around were no longer there. The serene expression on Mizuki’s face couldn’t help but force a smile out of Airi. It was rare to see them so worry free, especially around their girlfriends, so to see them so relieved of their own stress and fears even if only for a moment made a wave of affection course through the idol. Peering over at Nene, it seemed similar thoughts were going through her head as well, mirroring Airi’s smile at Mizuki’s sleeping form.
The two locked eyes, before Airi gave a nod. Nene didn’t seem to understand what that meant for a moment, before Nene could see Airi wiggling her fingers. That expression of confusion soon turned to one of guilt, but Nene gave a shrug regardless. Mizuki was the hardest to wake of the three of them, and while Airi would love to sleep in with them, her routine as an idol doesn’t exactly agree with that. The two silently counted to three, the anticipation beginning to grate on both of them.
Once the third nod was given, the two began their attack, swiping their fingernails across Mizuki’s sides as the tickling commenced. Mizuki had simply squirmed a bit at first, before slowly opening their eyes, beginning to realize what was happening as their body reacted accordingly.
“Hey, what’s the big idea?!” Mizuki giggled, the veil of tiredness in their voice despite the beginning of their struggle against the assault, but her two girlfriends wouldn’t let up, continuing to tickle their beloved.
“Time to wake up, Mizu!” Airi said with a smirk, as Nene gave an affectionate eye roll. After some more kicking and jolting from Mizuki, and plenty of giggles from the three of them, Mizuki waved their hands in front of the two in surrender.
“Ok, ok, I’m up, mercy!” Mizuki pleaded, still giggling even as Nene and Airi relieved Mizuki of the tickling. It took a few deep breaths to calm down, but it seemed like Airi and Nene had succeeded in their mission of getting Mizuki to wake up, but as Mizuki opened their eyes again, the sly grin on their face immediately raised alarms.
Before they could react though, the next thing they feel is Mizuki quickly wrapping their arms around their girlfriends and pulling them back down into the bed. Airi tried to resist, but Mizuki had a shockingly strong grip on them.
“C’mon, Mizuki! We need to wake up!” Airi complained, Nene electing to remain silent, seemingly ok with the ordeal. Mizuki simply hugged them closer.
“Well, this is revenge for ganging up on me!” Mizuki said proudly, Nene giving a nod in response.
“We should sleep in, Airi…” Nene mumbled, slowly letting her eyes close. “We had a long day…” Against every urge in Airi’s mind to get up, she also felt the nagging fatigue, and relaxing warmth of her partners snuggling with her. With a sigh, she nuzzled into Mizuki’s neck, finding Nene’s hand once again to give it a gentle squeeze as she felt Mizuki leave a gentle kiss on her hair.
“Just 5 more minutes…”
