Just Another Day (FutaKao)

No One's POV

This is normal.

This is completely normal.

Yes, absolutely normal.

"Futaba-chan, you've got Kaoruko-chan on your back again. Is it the usual?" Nana peeked from the kitchen counter and found the two enter into the common room.

"Yeah. She just wouldn't budge. I don't know what she's up to these days." The smaller girl gently laid the blue haired who was fast asleep on the comfy couch.

"What is it this time?" Nana peered as she was just finishing up on something to serve the petite girl.

"I don't know, if I'm honest. I found her just outside of the fighting rehearsal room and she was nodding off. Maybe she was actually waiting for me. I really don't know what she's up to these days." Futaba set the girl on her back on the couch. The girl shifted and looked like she was munching on something. Futaba smiled and poked the girl's cheek before indulging herself to Nana's sweets.

"That's really unusual for Kaoruko-chan. You always tell her that she can go ahead and head back to the dorms on her own." Nana happily set the banana muffin in front of the shorter girl, looking a bit surprised at the previous comment Futaba was making.

"Is this about that sleeping person on the couch?" A new voice joined the conversation.

"Junna-chan! Would you also like a muffin?" The blonde smiled widely and got ready to take out another of the muffins she so fondly makes.

"Yes, thanks Nana." The purple haired smiled and took a seat beside the petite girl. "Kaoruko right?"

"Hoshimi-san, you almost... Nevermind that. And yes, this is about that sleeping mess right there." Futaba pointed towards the now smiling blue haired girl, but she's still visibly sleeping.

"She said she's spending less and less time with you." Junna said under her breath while Nana has finally set down another plate in front of the purple haired.

"What" Futaba almost choked on her muffin, then she set it down back to its plate and faced the glasses girl. "Did she actually say that?"

"No, but it's so easy to read it on her face. Especially earlier when she was waiting for you. I didn't make a move on to call you right then and there as I figured you would bring her back here no problem." Junna so easily explained while a smile crept up on to her face. Also making the big banana to smile with her. "You should indulge Hanayagi-san every once in a while so that she won't completely rely on you for absolutely everything."

"Right, that was my intention. But I guess, I might have overdone it. Letting her be on her own like that." Futaba scratched the back of her neck in repentance and looked at her childhood friend on the couch.

"You've been joined to the hip since you were kids after all. It's hard to break a habit that's been formed over the years." Nana chuckled while a small growl was let out by the glasses girl.

"Exactly. Thanks, Banana, Hoshimi-san. I'll take her back to our room." Finishing the last bite of her muffin, Futaba stood up and made her way to pick up the girl she left on the couch.

She didn't look back at the kitchen as it seemed as if she was focusing herself to the mumbling blue haired in her arms. Then she swiftly made her way back to their shared room in the dorms.

"Kaoruko, I know you're awake by now."

No response.

Futaba again poked her cheek.

"Kaoruko..." This time she cupped her cheek. Another hand had gripped on wrist and made Futaba to instinctively look at the face of the culprit, who was now opening her eyes and a grin on her lips.

"Ah, Futaba-han!" A wide smile spread on her face as she called her name, making a skip in the beating of her heart. The girl laid down on the couch pulled the shorter girl and her hands made their way onto the waist of Futaba.

"Oi, let go of me." Futaba trying desperately hard not to blush and lose her strength in her hands, which were supporting her to not fall onto the girl below her.

"Not happening..." Kaoruko shifted to the side, bringing Futaba closer to her in a hug.

"Of course this if gonna happen..." Defeated, Futaba succumbed to the hug.

"Thanks, Futaba-han." Kaoruko closed the distance between them and made her way to plant a kiss on the others' cheek.

The one receiving only smiled under her breath and finally drifted off to sleep.

Satisfied, Kaoruko snuggled even closer and went back into her beauty sleep.

The next morning...

Futaba found herself confused to see Kaoruko right beside her on Kaoruko's bed. That was until she remembered what happened the night before. She looked at the clock sitting on her desk and grinned, an idea taking its place in her mind.

"Kaoruko! Wake up!" Futaba clumsily got her way out of the called girls' hold.

"...mgh... What Futaba-han..." Kaoruko squinted her eyes open.

"You can actually wake up like that." Futaba giggled, proud at herself on making this prank work on Kaoruko. "You can still sleep by the way."

"What the heck Futaba!" Kaoruko threw a pillow to the called girls face who catched the pillow before it made impact and laughter filled their space.
