Yuri noticed it as well, causing her to be a little pinkish.. she’d go on to say..
“I couldn’t make someone be responsible for tidying up my parent’s bed after using it.. though if you want, I could get two blankets for us and we can share my bed if it concerns you that much..”
The suggestion, even as she's in a.. Weird place.. Still manages to get some red in her cheeks.
" Wouldn't it make more sense for me to sleep in your parents' bed, and you to sleep in yours..? "
She kind of likes the idea herself, but she'd never admit it..
@ItsJustNatsuki -As long as it made her comfortable, that’s what mattered most to Yuri. She was happy to be here for Natsuki and in her most peaceful moments.-
If it makes you feel any better, no one has held me this long.. you’re the first one to hold and snuggle this close..
Yuri loves that kindred spirit within her.. when she overcame her depression, seeing her being the happiest she’s ever been.. falling in love with Yuri after everything.. she couldn’t help but shed a couple tears of happiness..
“Yeah.. you can rest in my bed and I’ll just sleep in my parents room till they come home..”
She wouldn’t admit it just yet, but sharing a bed with Natsuki would be the best feeling in the world..
“I promise you’re not an inconvenience whatsoever..”
" Well.. I guess it wouldn't be bad if I stayed until your parents came back, at least.. "
It's kind of a huge thing to say.. But it sure beats nowhere. Or bothering Sayori's mom again.
" Are you sure that's okay, and I'm not just.. Causing shit for you? "
@ItsJustNatsuki Th-Thank you.. you’re also very huggable..
-Yuri ended up daydreaming for a solid 20 minutes during the cuddling.. lost in thought about the idea of her and Natsuki..-
Yeah.. she’s very airheaded in that regard, but I can’t necessarily blame her for it honestly..
“But for now.. just stay here with me..”
Yuri’s chance to spend her days with Natsuki were finally within reach, it solely depends on her parents decision now, but knowing Natsuki would be okay with it.. makes her a special kind of happy no one else gets to see..
" . . . Me too. "
Not easy to admit, but.. It's an exciting idea. Even if she's anxious about what she'll do if it actually goes through, if she'll bring harm to the people she cares about..
But it'll be good. She knows that, at least.
@ItsJustNatsuki -They did cuddle for the majority of the movie, which she didn’t mind..-
Actually, you’re the first one to say I’m comfy..
-Sayori simply just makes happy noises whenever she hugged Yuri..-
“Yes of course, I’ll be sure that it’s entirely up to them.. I’m hoping they’ll say yes..”
And for the first time, Natsuki is seeing Yuri take an initiative and do anything she can to help her get out of that never ending loop of torture..
..her secret crush.
" Just make sure they know it's no pressure, okay? I lived this long, I'll still live if they say no.. "
It's funny. How in a moment like this, she's more concerned about pressuring Yuri's parents than her own well being. She'd never normally feel this way.
Brains are dumb.
@ItsJustNatsuki Eheh..
-Yuri had a faint scent of lavender on her, something Sayori convinced her to try since she kept saying Yuri reminded her of them.. Natsuki’s embrace felt very soft but also very fulfilling. She could hug her every day and night..-
“Yes, of course.. I’m going to call them later tonight anyway so I can check up with them.. and I’ll ask them..”
She kept a warm embrace on Natsuki, patting her back, she wouldn’t consider it shameful when there’s people who deeply care and worry for her safety.
She looks off to the side, incredibly ashamed to hear this.. People might've been more onto her than she thought, huh?
A deep breath, and a slow release.
" Well.. Let's just see, okay? You can.. Tell your parents. And see how they feel about the idea. I don't wanna force my-
@ItsJustNatsuki Always.. that’s what friends are for.. right..?
-Keeps the blush out yes, but the change of tone in her voice is a whole different conversation.-
“My mom and dad they.. they’ve asked me before if you’ve ever been bullied by someone because.. well, they’ve seen you in this very condition before and asked me if there was a bully at school.. I told them I didn’t think so because even I didn’t know at that time..”
" Moving-?! "
She's not sure where she was expecting this to go, but.. That's like.. Intense. Exciting, scary, worrying, cool..
" You can't be serious, right..? Your parents wouldn't, where would I stay, wh-what if he came over here, I just.. It's not a good idea..? "
@ItsJustNatsuki It’s okay not to be.. not everyone can be accustomed to them even after so many years..
-Yuri continued to comb through Natsuki’s pink locks.-
I’m always going to be there for you..
“Would you..”
She was never going to break the cycle if she doesn’t say anything, and she doesn’t want that to continue happening anymore.. she wanted to change the fate of this moment..
“Possibly consider moving in with me..?”
" Possibly..? "
It's unusual, but.. Looking up at Yuri, she looks scared, almost. Not of her, just.. This all-devouring fear that makes her feel alone even when she's with her best friends.
" Possibly what.. "
She knows it’s a never ending cycle.. but she can’t let it keep happening.. it was hurting her emotionally standing by and watching her get hurt..
“Natsuki.. I know it isn’t easy to open up about it.. but if it’s that bad.. then.. would you possibly..”
Sigh..
She knew it would happen, and it'd keep happening, but.. She just doesn't know how to breach the subject in a way that won't risk anyone.
" Yuri. We both know, just.. There's no way to approach this that definitely won't get anyone hurt. "
