"One two three! Smile!" Mizuki yells as she clicks on the camera's shutter, smiling as Ena puts up an awkward peace sign. She looks so awkward standing there with a goofy smile on her face, Mizuki can't help but giggle over her girlfriend fondly.
The scenery was beautiful, the clear skies, and the view of the ocean from their balcony gave an extra kick to the sunset, making it a spectacular sight to behold. The air smelled like the sea and they could see little birds flying around the beach and enjoying themselves after a nice summer day in the sun.
And her beautiful girlfriend was the cherry on top of it all.
"Are you guys done taking pictures?" Mafuyu asks as she comes out of the bathroom, hair wet and wrapped in a towel. Mizuki nearly drops her camera out of surprise, feeling like Mafuyu ambushed her out if nowhere.
She recovers quickly and just continues smiling at Ena before going back to looking through the photos. "Yep~ I'm so glad I bought this camera out of impulse. The view is so amazing, and the camera is so aesthetic.."
Mizuki says dreamily as she looks at her camera, scrolling through more photos of Ena. It really was just another one of her special moments that would be forever etched into her memory.
"How much did you even pay for that?" Ena asks as she walks towards the hotel bed, laying down next to a peacefully asleep Kanade. Mizuki giggles while watching Mafuyu doing the same, she doesn't hesitate to capture the moment as Ena presses herself towards the two.
"About... 8,000 Yen I think.. it was on a discount!" She answers cheekily as Ena lets out a laugh, shaking her head while smiling as Kanade opens her eyes at the sound. Mizuki takes another photo. They were all adorable and cute as hell.
"Cheaper than I thought it would be, I'm glad you didn't blow all your savings on that." Ena replies, smiling softly and looking at the others sleeping. "Anyway, enough pictures for now. Let's rest up for a bit before going to the night market."
Ena opens up her arm, patting the empty space beside her and beckoning for Mizuki to go cuddle against her and Kanade. Mizuki grins brightly, hopping onto the bed and curling up next to Ena.

Who would've thought the summer heat would still be this bad despite it being 10 PM already? Well Mizuki surely didn't! Though it's clear her girlfriends did.
"Man.. I should've worn something else.. I feel so gross..." Mizuki sighs loudly, looking at her girlfriends. Kanade, who was walking between her and Ena, hums in agreement. "I figured it would be hot already, but I didn't expect it to be this intense..."
"Should we buy some drinks? I sure do hope these overpriced drinks are great." Ena sighs, glancing down at her pink haired girlfriend who was clinging on her like a koala bear. The pair looked a bit rough too, sweat forming a large line across Ena's forehead and sticking her damp bangs to her forehead.
"We haven't been out for that long, but sure. I'll get us some drinks, you guys can sit over there." Mafuyu responds, pointing to a vacant bench nearby. "I'll come with you, what do you guys want?" Ena volunteers, offering a quick smile.
"Strawberry fruit shake would do~ How about you Kana?" Mizuki turns to Kanade, curious on what the girl would choose. "Um.. do they have mango?" Kanade mumbles shyly, looking away. Ena chuckles lightly at how cute she is acting and nods.
After receiving a nod, the duo heads off towards the direction of the bench.
"It's so nice here don't you think so Kana?" Mizuki asks in amusement as she places her hand atop Kanade's head. "Very, although it would've been nicer if I weren't sweating so much.." Kanade murmurs as she closes her eyes and leans further into Mizuki's embrace.
"So true~ But I guess that's just part of the experience! The night market is so lively, wait I should've taken candid photos of you guys!!" Mizuki suddenly exclaims, pulling her camera out of her bag.
"We haven't walked much yet, I'm sure you'll get a bunch of opportunities to do so" Kanade smiles fondly at her, watching Mizuki take a few photos of the vendors and such.
It doesn't take long for the two to get back, with drinks in hand.
Of course, Mizuki doesn't hesitate to capture photos.

It was already the last day of their trip, so they're pretty much satisfied with only resting in their hotel room. They had already went on a shopping spree before heading home to Tokyo, a bunch of souvenirs and a few new outfits from the beach being thrown into Mafuyu's suitcase.
Now though they're just trying to relax by themselves. Mafuyu was sprawled on her side of the bed, scrolling through her laptop while Ena was sitting on the floor, leaning against a wall with her legs crossed, listening intently to the music that was playing, Kanade was in the shower, so that leaves Mizuki alone with her thoughts.
She was looking through all the photos, smiling softly at all the images she had captured through out the week. There were plenty of pictures of her girlfriends on the beach, hanging in the hotel room, and even a selfie they had taken together in front of the hotel.
But there was barely any of her. No selfies, no shots, only her girlfriends, a few of the four of them together and a few sceneries.
Though it sort of bummed her a little, after all, she did think her outfits were cute, she really can't complain much though. She did decline when her girlfriends offered to take pictures of her too, saying it was unnecessary.
So now, she can only accept the fact she can't upload cute pictures of herself now.
Or so she thought.
"Hey Mizuki?" Mafuyu calls out after a few moments of silence. Her voice brings her out of her mind and she looks at her girlfriend. "Yeah? What's up?" Mizuki asks curiously. Mafuyu seems a bit nervous, shifting awkwardly under the gaze of the girl she loves so dearly.
"Come here" Mafuyu says, gesturing for her girlfriend to move closer. Mizuki gets up from where she was lying and moves to sit next to her. "I have something for you."
Mizuki furrows her eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding what Mafuyu meant. "Eh? A gift for me? But what kind of gift? Like a wedding present or what?" She guesses since that's the only thing that makes sense to why she'd need to give her something.
They weren't even married yet, Mizuki has no idea why that came out of her own mouth.
"...Close? But not quite. Since you've only taken photos of us, and didn't let anyone else take pictures of you. I took matters into my own hands, I figured you'd at least want a few photos of yourself to look back on so.."
And so, Mafuyu turns her laptop towards Mizuki. Where she left open her photos gallery, there were pictures taken during their trip in various places scattered along the screen. Most of which were candid shots of Mizuki.
Some of which were random ones, some were even ones of Mafuyu. Mizuki stares wide eyed at the sight of her photos on Mafuyu's laptop and blushes bright red instantly, looking up at Mafuyu who was staring at her in amusement.
"..How did I not notice that??" Mizuki whispers, turning her head slightly away from her. Mafuyu laughs at the response, taking a sip of her drink as she looks at her girlfriend. "It was pretty easy, although I'm surprised you didn't notice us holding a camera as well."
Mizuki turns her face, glaring playfully at her girlfriend. "Since when did you guys get a camera??" She huffs. Mafuyu rolls her eyes before answering. "The night market, it's pricier compared to yours, but we thought it would be fair if we had a gallery dedicated to you."
"Oh.. I never noticed that." She says, looking down again. She's starting to get embarrassed again, her blush coming back full force. "Haha.. anyway, thanks babe, those are amazing.. and I love them!" She adds quickly. Mafuyu smiles softly, placing one hand over Mizuki's.
Turns out, Mizuki wasn't the only one capturing her love in her lens.
