Shooting star (an ikuzono fanfic)

chapter 3- waking up next to her.

Mukuro woke up before Sayaka the morning after. She tried to sit up but was held down by something.
She turned her head in a fairly awkward position to see Sayaka still asleep, holding Mukuro close to her chest.
Mukuro smiled as her face went a rosey shade. She got a funny feeling in her stomach as she looked at the sleeping girl.
Mukuro turned her body over without waking Sayaka and she closed her eyes once again, trying to go back to sleep. She laid awake for a few minutes before she eventually fell back to sleep in Sayaka's warm embrace.

Sayaka woke up around an hour later. She looked down at her chest to see a sleeping Mukuro, her face dug in between Sayaka's breasts.
The blue haired girl blushed as she stroked Mukuro's hair.
Mukuro opened her eyes slightly, looking up at Sayaka from her chest and giving her a tired smile.
"Good morning, sleepyhead" Sayaka said, letting out a small laugh.
Mukuro yawned slightly before replying to the other girl.
"Good morning, pop star" Mukuro said in attempt to annoy Sayaka.
"I told you not to call me that." Sayaka whined, letting go of Mukuro.
"Thats why I said it" Mukuro replied, going to sit up.
Sayaka grabbed Mukuro's waist, pulling her back down.
"Ten more minutes" Sayaka said, holding Mukuro to her chest.
"Fine. Only ten minutes." Mukuro replied, trying her best to be stern even though she knew full well she couldn't be stern when it came to Sayaka.
The pair got comfortable once again.
The girls had their arms wrapped around each other with their legs intertwined. Mukuro's face was dug into Sayaka's chest where Sayaka's chin was resting on the top of Mukuro's head. Sayaka was running her fingers through Mukuro's hair, glancing down at her every minute or so.
Mukuro looked up at Sayaka after a few minutes, their eyes meeting. Mukuro admired Sayaka's bright blue eyes as she got that funny feeling in her stomach, the same one she got every time their eyes met. Her face turned red as she looked away from Sayaka, once again hiding her face in Sayaka's chest.
Sayaka shook Mukuro's strange behaviour off, allowing her eyes to wonder around the room they were laid in.

Mukuro's room was rather plain. Her walls were a light grey, her door was white and her carpet and room decor were grey. The only thing that was not grey or white was her bedding. Her pillows and duvet covers were black, it fit her personality well.

"What are you wanting to do today?" Sayaka asked, looking down at Mukuro once again.
She thought for a moment before replying,
"Stay how we are.." Mukuro still sounded quite tired as she replied to Sayaka.
"We can for a bit longer, but i do have to go home at some point today, remember." Sayaka said. This caused Mukuro to look up at the other girl.
"Why?" She asked.
"I've already stayed with you for a night and i really don't want to be a burden. I'm sure you have your own things you need to deal with and i'd rather stay out of your way"
"You're not a burden, Sayaka. You're not going to get in the way either. I don't have any plans and i truly enjoy being around you, so please stay with me for longer.. that is, if you want to obviously. You can stay for as long as you want to as long as my sister isn't here."
Sayaka was a little taken aback by Mukuro's words. People have said that they've enjoyed being around her, but Sayaka never truly believed them. But there was something different about Mukuro. Sayaka could tell that Mukuro meant every word she had said, and the fact that they were staying at Mukuro's house and not planning on spending any money instead of staying at Sayaka's and wanting money all the time proved it further. Sayaka could tell that Mukuro was being truthful.
"If you insist, but I still need to go home today to get a change of clothes and a few other things"

Mukuro nodded.
"That's okay. I can come with you if you want me to." Mukuro said in reply.
"yeah, i'd like that." Sayaka said in return.

There was a moment of silence before Mukuro spoke once again,
"But for now, I want to stay like this. I like this"
Sayaka nodded before replying,
"If that's what you want to do for now."
Mukuro nodded, slightly tightening her grip on Sayaka's waist.
Sayaka smiled as she went back to playing with Mukuro's hair.

^Time skip to Sayaka's house:^

Mukuro was sat on Sayaka's bed while she was waiting for Sayaka to pack her things ready to go back to Mukuro's house.
She couldn't help but notice how different their rooms were. Sayaka's was basically the opposite to Mukuro's room. Sayaka's bed was also larger, but part of the bed was taken up by all different pillows and teddies. Mukuro felt a little out of place in Sayaka's home, but she did her best to ignore that feeling. She wouldn't let complete opposite aesthetics ruin her time with Sayaka.

Once Sayaka had packed everything she needed, she walked over to her bed, laying down next to Mukuro and looking at her, a smile on her face.
"You're very pretty by the way, Mukuro" Sayaka said randomly.
Mukuro's face went bright red as she looked at Sayaka, completely lost for words. Sayaka noticed that Mukuro didnt reply to her words. This caused Sayaka to look over at Mukuro once again, laughing a little.
"I'm being serious. I really do think that you're pretty. You're beautiful, actually." Sayaka said, kissing Mukuro's forehead.
Sayaka had kissed Mukuro before (in the coffee shop) but for some reason, Mukuro reacted differently than when Sayaka kissed her on the cheek.
Mukuro's face went bright red as her body began to become warm due to how flustered she was. She grabbed one of Sayaka's many teddies and covered her face with it. She was a complete blushing mess.
Sayaka observed the girl's body language and how she reacted to everything. She then spoke once again,
"You're adorable. You know that, right?"
Mukuro peered up from the teddy, looking at Sayaka.
"You're face is all red now, love" Sayaka said.
Mukuro fully covered her face with the teddy once again, not saying a word.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Mukuro then felt the weight of the bed shift as she was pushed down by her shoulders. The teddy was removed from her face, revealing Sayaka sat on Mukuro's lower stomach, straddling her.
"You're reactions are priceless, Ikusaba. You're adorable." Sayaka said, leaning closer to Mukuro.
That feeling in Mukuro's stomach went wild and she turned her head away, not knowing what else to do.
Sayaka sat back up straight, placing her hands on Mukuro's breasts.
"Look at me, Ikusaba." She demanded. Mukuro hesitated for a moment before turning her head back to look at Sayaka.
"You're absolutely breathtaking. Your face, your body, your smile, your laugh, all of you. Now please just accept that. I want you to realise how beautiful you actually are, Ikusaba."
Mukuro was completely stunned by Sayaka's words. All she could do in return was nod.
Sayaka moved her hands down a little bit, now resting them on Mukuro's upper stomach for support.
Mukuro's eyes wondered the room once again.
It was then she noticed a fairly large mirror in Sayaka's room, angled perfectly that Mukuro could see the two of them in.
Mukuro noticed what a vulnerable position she was in. It wasn't like her at all. It was almost as if she didn't care what Sayaka did to her. Her body melted at Sayaka's touch and her heart would beat faster every time Sayaka would get close. Her stomach would go wild whenever they made eye contact and all Mukuro could think about was Sayaka.
Mukuro looked at their reflection for another moment, realising how dominant Sayaka could be in certain situations, before returning her gaze to the girl straddling her.
Sayaka was looking at her hands, almost as if she was completely zoned out. Mukuro said her name a few times, only to get no reply. Mukuro hesitated for a moment before placing her hands onto Sayaka's thighs.
Sayaka jumped a little, due to the cold from mukuro's hands, before looking down at her once again.
"You ready to go now?" Mukuro asked.
Sayaka nodded, quickly getting off of Mukuro and standing up, brushing herself off. She then put her hand out for Mukuro.
She took the other girls hand, standing up.

^time skip again- At Mukuro's:^

The two girls were sat together on the living room floor, Sayaka's arm around Mukuro and Mukuro curled up close to Sayaka. They stayed like that for a while, that was until Mukuro explained that she had to go meet with a friend to help them with something.
She told Sayaka to help herself to whatever was in the house and she told her to message her if she needed her.

As Mukuro was about to leave, Sayaka hugged her tight, making it obvious that she didn't want Mukuro to leave her alone.
"I'll only be gone for a little while. We can do whatever you want when i get back if you let me go. deal?" Mukuro suggested. Sayaka nodded, letting go of Mukuro.
The two exchanged their goodbyes and Mukuro left.

^time skip to when Mukuro gets to where she was going^

Mukuro knocked on a door, and a brunette opened the door, greeting Mukuro.

"hey, aoi.."
