Chapter 14

Natsuki groaned, rubbing her burning eyes.

What happened? God... My throat is so dry...

She began coughing violently, her throat aching.

She opened her eyes and jumped back in surprise.

"Headache?" Yuri spat, her arms crossed as she stood beside Natsuki's side of the bed.

Natsuki nodded weakly.

"What happened to me?" she sat up slowly, clutching the sides of her head as she pulled her knees to her chest.

"You got drunk." Yuri growled.

"What?!" Natsuki jerked her head to her wife, immediately regretting it as she hissed in pain.

"Drink." Yuri shoved a bottle of soda into her hands.

Natsuki opened it slowly and took a long sip.

"Thanks..." Natsuki mumbled.

"Feel a bit better?" Yuri asked, her voice eerily calm.

"Yeah..." Natsuki sat up and faced her completely.

"Good. Then you're ready to get your ears scolded until they start ringing!" Yuri said, her voice getting louder with each word as she let her anger show.

Natsuki gulped, bracing herself for what could be said.

"Natsuki Amai Owens! Do you know how worried I was?! I thought you were just pulling another shift when you didn't come home but nooooo, you were getting drunk off your ass with some bitch I don't even know! Then poor Sayori tries her hardest to help you get home and what do you do?! You pass out on her and throw up on the couple sitting at the table beside you! Words cannot begin to describe how utterly enraged I am with you right now!" Yuri panted, out of breath after screaming that out.

Natsuki flinched slightly, biting her lip.

"I'm sorry..." Natsuki said softly, looking pleadingly into Yuri's furious eyes.

"You better be sorry! Gosh- Do you know how much I was panicking during the car ride there?! Monika thought I was having a stroke and quite frankly, I'm not sure whether I was or not!" Yuri scoffed.

Natsuki felt her heart clench, had she really done that?

I did all of that? What was I thinking?

"I'm so sorry, Yuri... I don't know how or why I would ever do that and I feel like shit knowing it hurt you... Can you please forgive me..?" Natsuki pleaded softly.

Yuri glared at her a moment before her features softened.

"If you ever do it again... I'm selling that death trap of yours." Yuri sighed.

"Deal. I won't. I swear." Natsuki smiled softly.

"You're so lucky I love you..." Yuri pouted.

"I love you too." Natsuki said quietly.

She stood, rising to her toes and wrapping her arms around Yuri's neck to peck her lips.

Yuri slung her arms around Natsuki's waist, kissing her deeply.

Natsuki pulled away and dropped off of her toes, smiling widely.

"I'll make breakfast." Natsuki whispered and kissed her cheek before walking passed her and out the door.

Yuri groaned and flopped back on the bed, her face in her hands.

Why is it so impossible to say no to this woman?

~~~

"Monika..?" Sayori stood at the end of the couch, gripping the hem of her shirt.

"Yeah, baby?" Monika sat up, brushing the hair from her face.

"I'm sorry..." Sayori said softly.

"For what, my cloud?" Monika smiled at her.

"For making you sleep on the couch..." Sayori mumbled.

"It's alright... I was way out of line..." Monika rubbed her neck sheepishly.

"So was I..." Sayori nodded.

"You don't have to sleep on the couch anymore..." Sayori smiled softly at her.

"Thanks... And I promise I'll never yell at you again unless you do something stupid." Monika chuckled.

"Well I can't promise I won't do anything like that..." Sayori giggled.

Monika stood and walked to Sayori, cupping her cheeks as she leaned in.

Sayori met her halfway, sighing against her lips for the first time in days.

Sayori pulled away, smiling widely.

"I love you..." she said, resting their foreheads together.

"I love you more." Monika kissed her forehead before pulling away.

"You two finally make up?" Marcus grinned from the staircase, leaning against it without a crutch as he hiked his bag up on his shoulder.

"Yeah... We did." Monika said softly, walking over and kissing his forehead.

Sayori smiled and kissed his cheek, making the boy laugh.

"Mama! Mom! Quit it!" Marcus shooed them away with an arm.

"What's happenin?" Jessica skipped down the stairs, lazily holding her backpack in her hand.

"Nothing, blossoms." Monika walked over and hugged her daughter.

"You know what?" Sayori clapped once, gathering their attentions, "I'll make some breakfast."

She walked into the kitchen, kissing her wife's cheek on the way.

"Wash up, kids." Monika patted their backs.

Both children groaned but nonethess walked into the kitchen and washed their hands.

~~~

Natsuki sat on the couch, reading some manga as she hummed to herself.

Yuri watched from the kitchen, sighing deeply.

"Yuri?" Natsuki perked her head at the sound, glancing around until she spotted her wife.

"Hey, honey." Yuri smiled softly.

"You okay?" Natsuki asked.

Yuri paused and shook her head.

"No... No I'm fine." Yuri assured her, "I'm just tired."

"Oh... Do you want to take a nap while I make dinner?" Natsuki sat up, sitting her book down.

Yuri nodded slowly, smiling softly.

"Yeah... Yeah, that would be great." Yuri said.

Natsuki hummed and walked over to her, kissing Yuri's cheek.

"Okay. I'll wake you when I'm done." she said quietly.

"Hey..." Yuri grabbed her sleeve, glancing at the ground.

"Yeah?" Natsuki turned around and smiled at her.

"I really love you..." Yuri admitted softly.

Natsuki smiled shyly, grabbing Yuri's chin to make their eyes meet.

"Hey... I really love you, too." she whispered.

Natsuki pulled Yuri close, kissing her sweetly as her arms went around Yuri's waist.

Yuri kissed back, moving her arms to rest around Natsuki's shoulders.

"Thanks...." Yuri whispered, resting their foreheads together, "I needed that."

"Anytime." Natsuki giggled.

"I'm going to make dinner." she said as she pulled out of Yuri's embrace.

Yuri nodded and walked over to the couch.

Natsuki hummed and began preparing the ingredients.

She seemed kind of off... I hope she isn't still upset with me...

Yuri lay back on the couch, sighing as she closed her eyes to sleep.

I shouldn't be mad... She seemed genuinely sincere when she apologised.... I guess I should stop making this a bigger deal than it needs to be...

Natsuki glanced over at Yuri once more, smiling softly as she heard faint snores coming from the couch.

My Yuri...

(Hey, gays
So I'm sorry I haven't been updating much
Depression is really trying it's damnedest to kick my ass
But I'm also trying my hardest to get back up again
I'll try to make updates a bit closer together but I can't promise they'll be daily or every other day like usual

On another note I've looked up what "Natsuki" means in Japanese and the closest I got was "Natsu - Summer" and "Ki - breeze". So Natsuki's name would be "Summer Breeze". I gave her the middle name "Amai" brcause it means "sweet", completing her name as "Sweet Summer Breeze". Just a little fun fact for ya. :3
Again, this is a loose translation so for all I know it might not even be right but ya know

Sincerest love,
-Diana)
