It's Valentine's Day in Japan, and love is definitely in the air for the Y/l/n's. Just yesterday they were having so much fun at Disney World, watching the twins smile at the fireworks, eating a plethora of desserts, and spending time with Beyoncé, Megan, and Amala. They had so much fun, they came home and knocked straight out for the night after putting the twins down for the night.

Today, they decided to keep their activities simple and do some things they'd always wanted to do together when in Japan. They took turns choosing their activities for the night by flipping a coin. First up, Mario Kart racing through the city of Tokyo. Y/n took the cart that was designed like Yoshi's and Mani took the one designed like Rosalia.

"You know I'm not gonna go easy on you right?" Y/n taunted her wife.

"That's good, keep that positive attitude for when you lose. You're gonna need it." Mani blew Y/n a kiss before strapping into her seat.

"Mani, I've beaten you so many times on the game, this is gonna be a cakewalk."

The two lined their karts up for the beginning of the race, and waited for the light to turn green before zooming off down the street. Mani was determined to beat Y/n. Being from Baltimore, cutting in and out between cars is like second nature to Y/n and Mani didn't want to hear Y/n brag.

She saw an opening between Y/n and the curb coming up so she crossed over to the right, put the pedal to the floor, and zoomed past Y/n's kart to take the lead. As she passed her, Mani stuck up her middle finger and laughed.

"Cakewalk my ass!" she yelled.

"What the— oh hell nah!" Y/n put her pedal to the floor in an attempt to speed up. She was right on Mani's tail and slowly crept up beside her. Mani wasn't paying attention to her so Y/n tapped her shoulder and sped off when Mani looked over to her.

"Eat my dust Kordei!" Y/n taunted. Mani took that as a challenge and kicked into high gear. They zoomed between cars, following the glowing signs on the side of the road. Luckily, the street wasn't too busy. Normani sped up and matched Y/n's speed. The two were neck and neck as the final stretch of road was upon them, alternating the lead as they inched ahead of one another.

As they neared the finish line, both out all their strength into accelerating in hopes to win. When they crossed the finish line, it was way too close to call it by eye.

"I definitely won that so don't get excited." Y/n unbuckled and got out.

"You're blind clearly because I won that." Mani followed behind her into the lobby. They walked over to the side of the room and watched the replay of the race. The desk attendant played the end in slow motion to see who won, Mani took first place with Y/n at a close second.

"What was said?" Mani put her hand up to her ear to taunt her wife. "I thought you said this was a cakewalk Y/m/n, what happened?"

"What?! Man whatever, I let you win." Y/n tried to save face.

"Just accept that I beat you. You lost, I won, and now you're paying for dinner!" Mani laughed.

"Yeah, yeah I always pay for dinner." Y/n chuckled at her wife. "Speaking of which, where are we going? It's your choice."

"You remember that ramen place I showed you on TikTok called Tatsunoya, i'm Shinjuku?" Y/n nodded. "We're going there."

"The ramen looked so good in that video." just then, Y/n's stomach growled loudly. Mani slowly turned to look at her before busting out laughing. "You didn't hear that."

"Baby the whole eastern hemisphere heard that. Come on, let's get you something to eat."

The couple arrived, ordered and paid at the kiosk. Both got larger bowls of spicy ramen and decided to try some sake. They were shown to their table and the food came out within 10 minutes, which Y/n was so grateful for because she was starving. When their food finally came, they both dug in.
