            〝  i think it's obvious enough without me needing to admit it ＂ came her airy reply as she felt his digits steadily rub against her.  though his movements were too agonizingly slow for her liking,  causing yuna to grind down onto them with a stuttered whine〝  what took you so long?  it felt like forever until you got home.. ＂

after registering what had happened,  seisui went inside and promptly closed the door shut.  joining her upon the bed,  his weight caused the mattress to dimple,  and his hand gently overtakes hers. ⠀"  did you miss me this much?  " ⠀slowly,  the toy was methodically pulled out from her slick sex.  his hand slips between,  now cupping the sensitive mound whilst the thick digits rubbed the needy,  glistening flesh.

            it wouldn't be long until he gets back..  right??  is the thought that briefly surfaced in her foggy mind before dissipating with a muffled yet frustrated groan.  she had the previous few hours to herself in the empty home,  meaning she should have had all the time in the world to work away her pent-up stress.  but nothing seemed to have worked,  leaving yuna to be the overheated mess laid out on the tattooist's bed she was now〝  seeeei,  either you leave me alone or help me out- ＂ her words were strained as if she was struggling to keep herself together,  her gaze becoming hardened as she stared at the stunned male who finally arrived

"  heh,  knew it.  " ⠀he was kind of glad it was a girl,  last time he had a pet it was a boy;  perhaps a different one is a good sign?  he blinked. ⠀"  i'm bad at names.  ugh..  i might name it after some shitty meme.  " ⠀he rubs his nape,  troubled it seems.  it wasn't the first time he might name it after something silly,  he wouldn't want it to suck too. ⠀"  this is hard..  help me out here-  "

            〝  hmm,  you're right.  the cat looks to be a girl.  that makes her a pretty princess! ＂ she happily said upon closer inspection〝  and i'd say naming her is up to you.  she will be your cat after all,  it's only right to do that ＂

"  is it a girl?  can you check.  " ⠀he pursed his lips,  curious. ⠀"  we should name it.  do you got any ideas?  "

            〝  they all taste icky-  so don't be a baby and drink it.  you're not getting any kisses from me otherwise ＂ the cap was once more pressed for emphasis despite seisui trying to stop her〝  and guess your luck managed to kick in at the worst possible time.  on the plus side though,  you don't have to go to your classes now! ＂

"  just a routinely one.  honestly it was before classes ended,  i think one of us was already sick as fuck  ..  and you know how unavoidable it is to get your sweat and shit all mixed up during practice.  " ⠀it was bad enough that he wasn't the only one who also caught the flu,  if only one of the members didn't attend it would've been avoided; ;  though there was no use complaining about it. ⠀"  wait.  " ⠀he grabbed her wrist,  and squinted down on the cough syrup. ⠀"  is that the one that...   tastes like total crap?  "

            〝  were you guys just doing your regular practice routines,  or were you getting ready for an upcoming competition? ＂ some of the cough syrup she opened was poured into its small cap,  it later being held gently against seisui's lips for him to take〝  either way,  you guys shouldn't be practicing for so long.  especially if some sort of bug was in the air and you caught it ＂

            〝  hey,  put me down! ＂ her attempts to wiggle her way out proved to be futile before she laid limp in defeat with a sigh.  jokes on him,  at least she gets to be carried around now while he has to walk.  so who's the real winner now! ( .. ) is what she pretty much thought to herself with a quiet giggle at her own small victory.  all that running wore her out anyways,  so this made for a well-deserved break

"  oh,  what a cheater!  now you're trying to push me?  " ⠀he wasn't even budging,  it just ended up of him pausing on his tracks to laugh at her poor attempt. ⠀"  hehe what a looooser,  i automatically win.  " ⠀seisui abruptly wrapped his arms around her body,  and carried her all the way to the convenience store.

            〝  who's the one that's behind me,  huh?  the slowpoke is clearly you! ＂ damn him and his long legs-  it didn't even take that much for seisui to catch up!  with a pout,  her running briefly slowed in order to turn around so she was now using her hands to push against the other's broad frame.  though,  it was as if she was fighting against the weight of a brick wall instead-〝  so be good- ＂ a strugled push〝  and stay behind me-! ＂

            〝  you don't understand how envious i was whenever i saw the photos of you and yoshi hanging out together.  i always wished i was with you two.. ＂ a small sigh〝  but now i am!  so we better make up for loss time and go to a lot of places! ＂

a pleasant surprise╌  his eyes widen subtly. ⠀"  really?  that's great.  " ⠀replied seisui. ⠀"  makes it easier for you too.  haha,  finally,  we can see each other from time to time.  "

            〝  aweeee,  i'm so touched by your kindness i could cry! ＂ she dramatically said before her expression shifted into one of pride and smugness〝  heh,  funny you ask that because this girl's moving up in the world!  managed to buy a place here in tokyo a little while back.  which now makes me a permanent resident here in the city! ＂

            〝  i'm only asking as my second opinion since i couldn't make up my mind initially.  which one hurts less to have done by the way?  ＂  she said while looking back at her assorted sketches.  though,  a laugh later emit from her at hearing what he said next〝  psh,  there's no way i'd have the pain tolerance to do both at the same time.  that's why i planned on getting one now,  then the other depending on i'm feeling ＂

"  you mean  ..  you want to know my preferences on this?  " ⠀arching a brow,  he takes a closer look on the well prepared sketches given.  it was really pretty,  and it suited her well（..）it was just a matter of figuring out if she could handle the session. ⠀"  babe,  listen.  it's your choice,  not mine..  can you even handle each side?  that'll take quite long too.  "

            〝  you're treating my affection as if i'm a senior citizen,  how could you! ＂her eyes became squinted as she made a few jabs at the other's side.  though her eyes later lit up as she sifted through her bag to take out her sketchbook — yuna soon after excitedly showing seisui the few draft tattoo sketches she made in advance〝  and i was thinking either a hip or waist tattoo!  or maybe both with either one on each side.  i couldn't decide,  so i made a few options to see what you as the expert would think suits me best!  pretty smart,  right? ＂

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@throughend 　)
            〝  psh,  just say you got bit by some bugs on a hike.  easy as that ＂

"  uhh..  this isn't exactly a good idea cause i'm a literal swimmer??  "

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@throughend 　)
            〝  i'm biting you out of affection.  learn to love and deal with it! ＂

            she knew he meant well with his inplied words,  but it still stung her a little how seisui had suggested that she separated herself from him.  she still valued and cared about him,  even platonically as a friend.  and the thought of losing him didn't sit right with her〝  so you're basically telling me that i should forget you..  as if you were never worth my time..? ＂ she may have been misinterpreting what he'd said,  but the heavy weight of dread in her heart made her come to that conclusion〝  i mean..  i think i get what you're saying...  but i can't just pretend as if becoming your friend would be something i'd regret.  you mean a lot to me.  and i just can't go forgetting you so easily.. ＂

"  the other part,  but maybe both?  " ⠀he said,  a note of uncertainty. ⠀"  don't get the wrong idea here.  i love being with you,  and i like it this way too..  but,  i always thought that it's too early for both of us.  " ⠀seisui admitted,  which was true─╌it had been weighing in his mind for awhile now and he couldn't simply let it eat him away. ⠀"  i always think about you.  your future..  and i think it would be nice for you to pursue things you love and extract yourself from me.  i think i'm holding you back,  and..  you clearly deserve something greater.  "

            〝  stop being friends?  or the other part..? ＂

            〝  you should've at least texted me before coming here so i knew in advance.  i was having a good dream ＂ came her mumbled reply,  only half listening to what seisui was saying because of how foggy her mind was from being woken up.  with a small yawn being let out after closing the door,  she clung onto the athlete while huddling to him for more warmth〝  as punishment for waking me up,  you're going to carry me to my room — no questions asked ＂

the question made his face turn sour,  and he disregards it with a sharp sneer. ⠀"  nothing..  just something really stupid.  " ⠀even so,  his expression slowly lightens as he's brought in by her gentle hold. ⠀"  sorry for the trouble.  trust me-  i even tried contacting my friends but they won't even let me crash in..  "

            yuna would've had a much more shocked reaction if it wasn't so late at night.  the vague text she received from seisui prior to his arrival still made her want to seek out answers from the athlete,  but she only let out a tired sigh in response at seeing him〝  what did the two of you even get in a fight for?? ＂ she sleepily asked while taking ahold of the other's hand before pulling him inside where it was warm〝  you even traveled all the way here too for whatever reason- ＂

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@throughend 　)
            〝  what good do you think you're doing when you can't even help yourself?!  you keep putting yourself down if it means others will feel better and for what! ＂ with shaky hands,  yuna decided to keep ahold of seisui's hand as she continued through tears〝  i just don't get why you're not allowing yourself to not continue being happy..  it's as if you're letting people step on you... ＂ her voice trembled as her tearful gaze remained at the ground.  she didn't want him to leave.  the thought of it pained her as she stubbornly held onto his hand〝  and just because i'm upset,  do you really think that i'd instantly start regretting after everything we've been through?!  not once have i ever thought that way,  especially because of how much i care about you! ＂

shouldn't have *

part of him felt bad,  seeing her cry..  it was likely for the best.  he's always been blunt,  and at least by this realization she would finally stay away from him  ..  it is for her own good. ⠀"  this is exactly why i was doing that.  i knew you would regret it,  and now?  you already are.  " ⠀glancing to her poor attempt to remove his grasp,  it loosened freely.  and for a moment he wanted to reach out and comfort her,  even if he was deliberately doing it again..  hurting her feelings. ⠀"  you didn't listen to me.  look what its done between us—–  fuck.  " ⠀but it made him more frustrated how she was apologising. ⠀"  don't..  say sorry.  damnit.  " ⠀his fists tightens to his sides,  upset of how she's going back to..  her old self. ⠀"  you're a fucking wreck.  so the fuck am i.［＿＿］do you think i like hurting you?  i'm doing it for the greater good  ..  and i don't want you to waste yourself on me.  i don't even fucking know why i was being like that in the first place.   " ⠀getting worked up  ..  jealous?  maybe he was crazy for that,  they didn't even have a stable relationship for him to react that way.  she was right.  but he didn't want to admit it,  didn't want it to crumble away at his pride. ⠀"  so don't be sorry.  i was happy being with you.  even if it was for awhile.  even if i was making it worse,  knowing you'd be hurt..  /a lot/.  i still let you in when i should've.
