citrus: A Gift Just for Us

Chapter 7

*Time skip to September 13th, #OurBabyMei'sBirthday!*

Mei's POV

I wake up to the sound of Yuzu humming a happy tune, I open my eyes seeing the rays of sunshine coming into our room. Yuzu was grinning, singing Happy Birthday, she opened her arms wide and gave me her well-known hug," Happy Birthday Mei!" Yuzu sweetly said as she kissed me on the cheek and nuzzled my neck but then hovered her gaze to my lips, giving a light blush. I do the same in anticipation and, unknowingly, slide closer. "May I?" She asked staring at me intensely.

"You shall..." I whispered with our faces leaning in. Yuzu's warm kiss was soft yet assertive as they controlled mine. A minute or two had gone by until we pulled apart. Yuzu giggled,

"Go get ready and when your done, call for me. Also, DO NOT GO OUT OF THIS ROOM!" Tapping my nose twice.

I smiled, getting off the bed," Alright, Alright... I won't." I watched her leave the room, once she closed the door I began to change. I take a glance at the precious ring worn on my right ring finger. I would do anything to have it stay there, well maybe change which hand it's on. I chuckle to myself, if I mention this to Yuzu I'll get a good reaction out of it.

After I'm done I call for Yuzu and she immediately comes into the room face ecstatic. Suddenly something is put on my face and all I see is black. What is Yuzu doing?  I realize that she had put a blindfold on me, " Yuzu why is this on me?"

"Don't worry Mei, me and Mama have a surprise for you so you'll be wearing this until we get to the living room ok? I'll be showing you the way!" Yuzu rubbed my shoulders from behind, then she guided me out of the room holding me securely. Before even reaching halfway I had managed to hit my knee on the edge of the bed and it hurt like hell, scrape my hand on the wooden desk and trip over on what felt like a shoe, luckily Yuzu managed to catch me before I fell face-flat onto the floor.

"Yuzu, I swear to God if I die because you misdirected me I will take you to the grave with myself!" I hissed

"Oh come on Mei, first of all, when have I ever misled you? Second, how would you take me as well if you've already died?" Yuzu said patting my back.

"Answer to the second question- I would come back haunting you until you go insane with guilt, and my answer to the first question- including now, there was that time you-"

Yuzu cut me off," OK, OK! There was THAT time and now but that's not important. Also... you were joking about the whole 'take you to the grave' thing... right?" I gave no response. "RIGHT?" I wanted to stare her down with my cold glare but that wasn't possible with the blindfold. That only meant one option... I stepped on Yuzu's foot really hard and left it there for a good 5 seconds. She howled out in pain, hands up shaking trying to bear it. "I-I'm gonna take th-that as a n-no then." She stuttered. Feeling a tiny bit sorry I took my foot off and Yuzu bent down to massage her sore foot. (a lot of foots but I don't care)

"Are we nearly there yet?" I asked.

"Wow Mei, I thought you were turning 20 yet here you are asking a kiddy question!" I could literally FEEL her smirking behind me and right there and then she earned herself a good kick in the shin.

I smirked," Wow Yuzu! I thought you already knew what not to do even after dating me for 6 years yet here you are!"

"Fine fine, I get your point." Yuzu sighed. "Anyway we're right near the door!"

I heard Yuzu opening the door and as soon as I stepped in I heard... yapping? Yuzu brought me to the couch and I sat down, then I felt something comfy and quite heavy as Kumagoro. The object was moving around and nuzzling my hands. Yuzu then took off the blindfold and the thing in my hand was.....
