AKUME X MAI

The soft sound of rain on the roof was soothing to Mai, as it always has been. Mai found comfort in the little sounds and scents from her brick and wood cottage, such as the rain, the wind, the leaves, and the cracking of the fire. Mai feeds another log into the fire, the warm glow enveloping the room. Her peace within the sounds was interrupted by the familiar, but still offensive sound of a motorcycle's engine, sputtering to a halt, and finally stopping. The sound that signified Akume had returned.

Within seconds, the door flung open, and shut just as fast, with Akume having entered, her face wet from rain, and her hair still dry because of the helmet. As Akume hung her jacket up, along with the helmet, Mai would already be right behind her.

"I told you it would rain today, what if you caught a cold?"

Akume simply smiled as she finished hanging her gear up.

"Well, I woulda had the best caretaker in the world then!~"

No matter how many compliments given to her, Mai always blushed brightly at every one of them, this one no different. Akume giggled, having successfully flustered Mai yet again.

"Fine... but at least come to the couch and warm up... you feel cold."

Akume, with zero objections, followed Mai to the couch. Sometimes, it felt like Mai worried about her too much, but Akume figured it's because of her parents, and specifically one of their talents. The rainwater sprinkling Akume's face had already begun to evaporate as they sat down on their couch, the fire right beside them.

"Hold still, honey. I'm gonna warm you up."

Mai, in one swift motion, wrapped one arm around Akume, and the other wrapped a blanket around them both. They comfortably snuggled for a small time, letting Akume warm up.

"Hon... do you mind... doin' the thing?"

Mai smiled softly, accepting Akume's request. Since they had first gotten together, whenver one of them was feeling particularly sad or stressed, they would ask for "the thing", which was holding hands in a soft embrace.

Mai, without skipping a beat, wrapped her fingers with Akume's, their marriage rings making a small clink as their hands locked together. Akume smiled softly and rested her head on Mai's shoulder, the warmth from the fire and Mai already having dried the raindrops, and make her comfortable and happy. Akume's eyelids could barely stay open, as usually happens when they cuddle like this.

"Darling... you don't mind... stayin' like this a while, right?"

Mai simply rested her head against Akume's, closing her eyes and softening the grip on Akume's hand, preparing for a comfortable sleep. Akume released a small exhale, and copied her wife's actions, snuggling up with Mai. The crackling of the fire, the sound of the rain, the howling of the wind, the soft breaths from their wife, the perfect conditions for sleep. And as the rain dissipated from the sky, the two fell into a comfortable, embracing sleep together.
