Ulterior Motives

Chapter 34 I Wonder

Natsuki's POV:

   "Why do you do this to me?!" I whine as something pops out on the screen. Yuri giggles at me as I hop up on the couch to avoid the nonexistent creature. I glance at Sayori and Monika. Sayori was practically sitting in Monika's lap as she buried her face in Monika's chest. I'll admit walking into Monika's freaking huge as hell house and seeing those two locked in a tight hug shocked me, but eventhough Sayori didn't tell me they were together I was happy for my friend, they made a great couple.

    "Monika why?" Sayori whimpered and Monika was clenching her eyes shut,  face buried in Sayori's hair.
   "I don't know! Sayori I should've learned my lesson last time Yuri picked!" She exclaimed as I jumped again as I leaned closer to my Yuri. Yuri smiled and reached out rubbing my back in soothing circles.

The demon skittered from under the couch on screen, the main character screamed as his girlfriend was dragged into the dark with a strangled scream.

  "Yuri you said this wasn't scary!" I accused my beautiful girlfriend as I hid behind her I pressed my face into her back, making her giggle again.
   "It's not that scary Suki, it's only rated PG 13." Yuri teased me and I dug my fingers into her sweater front.
    "I don't care if it's rated G, Yuri!" I raged and  Sayori whimpered as the demon skittered around the edges of the baby's room.

  "Yeah you're not allowed to pick ever again!" Monika rasps her eyes still closed as the baby began to cry shrilly.

  "Shh, Suki,  it's just a movie. " Yuri whispered softly. But couldn't turn around  to properly comfort me, which I knew was bugging her.
   "A scary as hell movie, no way is this rated PG 13!" I whimpered hooking my legs around her waist and digging my face in her back once more, and there I stayed  until the movie was over.

  "Suki you can let go now. The scary movie is over, Monika's putting on Mary Poppins to calm down Sayori. " Yuri teased and I shook my head,I was comfortable and besides my legs were numb and I was starting to feel sleepy as the anxious energy that was keeping me high alert drained from my body.

  "She's like half asleep. " Sayori giggled and without warning Yuri stood up and I dropped onto the cushions with a bounce. I  whined in protest as Yuri knelt scooping me up in her arms.

  "Natsuki you're so cute." My girlfriend whispered and I flushed heavily. She knew I hated that. Monika and Sayori giggled and I glared at them dryly. Before I looked up at my highly amused girlfriend who was grinning all pleased with herself.
   "Yuri stop it!" I whined and she giggled softly "I'm not cute." I grumbled petulantly and Yuri bit back her giggles and smiled teasingly.

  "Whatever helps you sleep at night my Suki. " she kisses my nose, rocking me slowly. I curled into her and vaguely heard Monika telling Yuri about where a guest room was.

"Look mama I picked you some flowers!" I held up a bunch of dandelions and my mom regarded them dryly.
   "Those are weeds Natsuki,  weeds belong in the trash." She grumbled bitterly and I looked down at what I thought was a beautiful arrangement of flowers.

  "I think they're magical because they're too pretty to be weeds." My papa whispered winking at me and I beamed handing them to him instead. My mom groaned irritably.
   "Honestly Dex, why do you fill her head with such nonsense?" She growled lowly and I frowned looking between my parents fearfully.
   "June she's five years old let her be a kid dammit. " he exclaimed and she scoffed standing from the front porch where we had been sitting on. I whimpered and my mom glared at me.
  "She'll need to learn life is full of broken dreams." She turns starting back into the house with a slam of the front door. I look to my dad tearfully and he brings me close.
