Natsuki stood in the doorway in pure shock. Yuri on the other hand, dropped the knife to the floor. It's blade had fresh blood stained on it.

"Y-Yuri..." Natsuki stuttered out.

"I... Natsuki... I-I can expla-." Yuri was cut off.

"Where are your bandages?" Natsuki sternly asked.

"Bold of her to assume I even had any... But I do have a knife collection so, guess it adds up."

"U-Up there... Above the sink.." Yuri replied.

Natsuki, on her tip toes, opened the cabinet above the sink and grabbed the bandages as well as rubbing alcohol and cotton balls that were beside them.

Dabbing a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol, she took Yuri's arm in her hand, looking her in the eyes.

"It's gonna hurt for a second, okay?" Natsuki said calmly before pressing the cotton ball to Yuri's arm.

Yuri took a sharp inhale, instinctively pulling her arm away. In pulling her arm away, she pulled Natsuki into her.

"S-Sorry!" Yuri panicked, pulling back from Natsuki.

"Nice one Yuri, first having her find out and now creating a strange scenario..."

"Hey, it's okay, just.. Stay still, alright?" Natsuki reassured, taking hold of Yuri's arm and putting the cotton ball to Yuri's cuts again.

This time, Yuri endured the pain with a clenched fist and tightly closed eyes. She repeated the process while Natsuki cleaned her cuts, and finally moved to wrapping Yuri's arm.

"So... Do you want to.. Explain..?" Natsuki asked, her eyes fixed on Yuri's arm while she wrapped it.

"I.. It's a.. A way to calm d-down.." Yuri replied, looking down to the arm Natsuki was wrapping.

"Well.. Come to me next time instead, okay?" Natsuki said, finishing wrapping Yuri's arm. "I'm always gonna be here for you."

"Ah-Uh.. Y-Yeah.. Sure.." Yuri stood up, grabbing the bottle of rubbing alcohol and cotton balls, putting them away herself.

Eventually the two ate the cookies they made. Well, Yuri ate. Natsuki... Not so much.

"Hey, aren't you hungry?" Yuri asked, looking to Natsuki and the cookie she had on her plate, still unbitten.

"Oh.. I-I'm not super hungry.." Natsuki replied, resting her chin on her hands.

"But she's so small, and frail, and adorable. Ah stop it! Focus on the now! She's not eating, so DO something!"

"Not feeling well?" Yuri asked.

"Eh, no. Like I said, not hungry." Natsuki repeated. "It's getting late too, I should be heading back.."

Natsuki swiftly stood up from her chair, grabbing all the things she brought over for cookies and leaving her cookie on her plate on the table.

"H-Hey, uh.. Instead of leaving.. Why d-don't you spend the night..?" Yuri stuttered out.

Natsuki stood still for a moment, a strange look on her face.

"Uh oh.. Bad idea... Dammit Yuri! Why would she wanna spend the night with a freak like you? Especially with the 'show' you gave her.."

"Sure! I doubt Papa will mind." Natsuki grinned, setting her bag of baking supplies down by the door. "So where we sleeping?"

"I-Uh..." Yuri turned away, trying to hide her flustered face.

"Never did I think she'd say yes..."

"No worries! I don't mind sleeping with you, as long as you're okay with it Yuri." Natsuki said.

"I-I-I don't m-mind.." Yuri stuttered out, not making eye contact with Natsuki. "E-Especially if i-it's the same b-bed.."

"This is really happening.. Holy.. This is reality. I'm going to spend the night in the same bed as my hopeful lover. Never in a million years did I think I would be in this situation.."

"Well, we do have some time till it's dark. Oh, I know! Come outside!" Natsuki grabbed hold of Yuri's hand and swung the front door open.

Once outside, Natsuki and Yuri were hand in hand. How Natsuki felt was ultimately unknown to Yuri, but Yuri knew she was slowly having mental breakdowns, plus an extremely flustered face.

"Isn't it pretty?" Natsuki said.

Yuri glanced over to Natsuki, then back to the sunset.

"Y-Yeah.. It surely is pretty.." Yuri said.

Both girls sat in Yuri's front yard, still hand in hand, watching the sunset. Every so often one of them would break the silence, but it was never a full fledged conversation, just a random comment about something or other. Once they finished watching the sunset, they headed back inside, still hand in hand.

"D-Does she really like me that way? She tolerates me enough to hold my hand, so maybe she does. Non-sense! She hates Monika and Sayori being together. But she did pick out that lesbian manga... Argh, why is love so confusing!?"

"Earth to Yuri?" Natsuki's voice snatched Yuri out from her thoughts

"O-Oh, y-yes?" Yuri stammered.

"Do you mind if I wear a pair of your pajamas? I don't have any with me, and sleeping in clothes is uncomfortable for me." Natsuki asked.

"S-Sure! J-Just.. Come this way.. And I'll get you a pair.." Yuri stuttered out, walking Natsuki to her bedroom.

Fishing through Yuri's drawers, she finally found an older pair of pajamas that would fit Natsuki well enough. Yes they were a little big, and purple, but they'll have to do.

While Natsuki was changing in the bathroom, Yuri was changing in her bedroom.

"Hey Yuri, how do I-." Yuri heard the door open and then the voice of Natsuki.

Yuri, luckily having her back towards the door, turned her head to the side to see Natsuki.

"I'm so used to living alone I forgot to lock the door! Now I'm really paying the price..."

Yuri and Natsuki locked eyes for a good five seconds. Both completely still. Both having tomato red faces.

Without words spoken, Natsuki slammed the door closed.

"How to lose your only real friend. Nice job Yuri. Good luck making her your wife now... She probably hates how you look, and she will now even more so."

Once Yuri finished changing, she stepped outside to find Natsuki fast asleep on her couch. Yuri smiled at the sight.

"How cute, she's already asleep.."

Without a second thought, or even stopping to consider her actions, Yuri picked up Natsuki's frail, light, and fragile body bridal style and carried her to Yuri's bedroom.

Softly lying Natsuki on her bed, Yuri pulled the covers over Natsuki's small body and stood beside the bed, looking down on her.

"She's quite adorable when she's asleep and not fussing about the little things. Even when fussing though, it can be adorable as well... Either way, it's rare to see a calm Natsuki."

Yuri let out a yawn.

Then an idea popped into her head.

"I could... When would I get to do this again.. Probably never.. I.. I'll take my opportunity. Never know when you'll get it again, right?"

Careful not to wake Natsuki, Yuri climbed over Natsuki and put herself under the covers with her. Next, she draped one arm across Natsuki's side. Now, Yuri and Natsuki were cuddling.

Yuri buried her face in the back of Natsuki's neck, pulling the small girl close before she drifted off to sleep.

Yuri's eyes fluttered open. She blinked a few times to adjust to the light in the room. Looking infront of her she found Natsuki.

Natsuki's head was buried in Yuri's chest, her arms holding onto Yuri tight like a hug.

Yuri smiled.

"So she does have a soft side, huh?"

Slowly, Natsuki began to rustle, signaling she was waking up. Yuri sat slightly upright while Natsuki rubbed her eyes, sitting up as well.

"Mm.. Sleep well Yurs?" Natsuki grumbled sleepily.

"Ah, yes. H-How about you?" Yuri stammered.

"I slept good too, especially in your arms baby~." Natsuki smirked, causing Yuri to turn a bright red. "Hah, I'm just kiddin' with you Yuri! Now lets go get some breakfast."

Natsuki practically jumped out of bed, which surprised the still sleepy Yuri. Well, not so sleepy after Natsuki's remark, but none-the-less it shocked her.

"I was thinking pancakes, since they ARE better than waffles, and of course you have the supplies." Natsuki said when Yuri walked into the kitchen.

"Pancakes work. I'll get the pan." Yuri said, grabbing  one of her pans from the cabinet.

The two girls made chocolate chip pancakes with the chocolate chips left over from the cookies yesterday. They were pretty good, but probably because Natsuki had done the majority of the work. Yuri had just filled measuring cups with the correct amount of ingrediant.

"So, we have the whole day to do whatever we want. I was thinking we go to the arcade, y'know, for the fun of it?" Natsuki said, taking a small bite of her pancake.

"Sounds fun.. But I don't really do arcades.." Yuri shyly replied.

"How about first we go to the arcade, then we can go somewhere of your choice?" Natsuki suggested.

"On free days I usually just.. Stay home and read." Yuri said.

"Ooh, we can read the manga together! C'mon, let's get ready. I call dibs on bathroom for changing!" Natsuki grabbed her clothes from yesterday, which she left on the couch, and dashed into the bathroom.

Luckily this time Yuri wasn't greeted by an unexpected visitor while changing.

The girls spent the next hour and a half reading. At one point, Natsuki rested her head on Yuri's shoulder. Even though Yuri was flustered, she assumed Natsuki was just tired.

"Ready to go to the arcade?" Natsuki asked.

"Yes, " Yuri said, turning to Natsuki, "but do you even have the money to pay?"

"I.. Yeah I do, I think.." Natsuki reached into her skirt pocket, grabbing a black leather wallet that was rather torn up and beaten.

"I-If you don't... I can pay." Yuri suggested.

"Mm.. How about we combine our money? We should have enough then." Natsuki said, looking to Yuri.

"Sounds good.." Yuri said.

"Then to the arcade we go!" Natsuki grinned, pumping a fist in the air.

Yuri giggled softly.

"I think you're forgetting a major factor Nat." She smiled slightly, her arms crossed and eyes on the excited Natsuki.

"And what would that be?" Natsuki turned around to face Yuri, putting her hands on her hips.

"A way to get there." Yuri said.

"Oooooooooh, " Natsuki looked to the side, "well..."

"Mind calling an Uber?" Yuri asked.

"Eheh... On it.." Natsuki got out her phone, which was fairly small and beaten up, plus Yuri didn't even know she had one, and got an Uber.

"This'll be an adventure. First time to an arcade, and who better to spend it with than my high school crush?"
