"Chii-chan... Chii-chan..."
"Mmm... what is it Yuu..."
"I can't sleep... I've been turning over all night..."
"Mmmmhhhh... well, I told you not to drink all that coffee last night."
"I know... but I wanted to try it. It's the first time we get a fresh batch since we arrived here, and I felt kinda nervous about tomorrow." Yuuri replied as she lay next to Chito on their bed and kept trying to sleep. It was already quite late at night and after a long day of hanging out with their family and strolling through the park inside the Biodome, Chito was exhausted as she kept trying to sleep close to a restless Yuuri.
"Mmm... Yuu... you should try to sleep, you know it's an important day tomorrow."
"I know... Chii-chan, but I am... kinda worried!" Yuuri replied as she kept looking up at the dark ceiling. Chito softly mumbled and brushed her eyes looking at her worried lover.
"Oh... you shouldn't be worried Yuu. Reo said it's just a simple procedure that they have done countless times, and you will be asleep during the whole thing. After that you will have a new leg, didn't you say you want to be a 'robotic-god' Yuu?" Chito replied and softly embraced Yuuri under the covers.
"I know but, I am still worried it will be dark again... I don't want you to wait for me again to wake up for a long time like last time. What if something happens?" Yuuri asked as she gently held Chito's hand under the cover.
"Chiya had the same procedure done to her and look she is always working and going on expeditions on the outside, you shouldn't be worried Yuu. I will be right outside the room waiting for you. After that, you will be able to walk properly again with training." Chito replied and smiled as she held her hand close. "After the procedure, we can go eat gyoza at the park again if you want Yuu."
"Mmm... Gyoza... and I want fresh fish again Chii-chan!" Yuuri replied and smiled with a drooling mouth.
"I think we can get fresh fish too. We still have enough ration points for the month." Chito replied as she held her hand close to hers. "But you know that you need to train the leg almost every day. It doesn't work right away so it will take you time to get used to it. That's what Reo and Mieko said."
"I know Chii-chan, but I will be so happy to see you smiling when I can finally walk on my own without the walking stick!" Yuuri replied. "I will be brave for you tomorrow."
"Oh hey, I just thought of something Yuu, I hope it will help you sleep. Maybe I can return the favor and the warmness you shared with me that time outside in the snow fort. I slept so peacefully at that time in your embrace." Chito softly blushed as she glanced at Yuuri.
"But we don't have snow to build another fort Chii-chan!"
"Oh! We don't need snow. I read in a book that children in the old world used to build these things called pillow forts from blankets and pillows and... let me show you." Chito leaned next to the bedside where she kept the black device that Yuuri gifted to her the first day they moved into their house where she could read a lot of books and write in her diary. Turning it on she found the book that showed pictures from the old world and how children used to play games and build forts.
"Oh, they look so cute!" Yuuri replied as she scrolled through the device. "I wish we had this many pillows on the outside Chii-chan, we would have been so comfortable."
"Well... I think we have a lot of pillows and blankets in the other room too. I can go get them and we can build the fort in the living room. It will be just like the snow fort but, even comfier." Chito replied as she got out of bed grabbing her pillow.
