6 Chapter 6: Sick Day

Mei lay smiling next to a sleeping Yuzu as she lightly stroked the girl's bangs, she didn't want to wake her, she was just so beautiful and peaceful sleeping. Mei had gotten up hours ago, she had already been to the school to pick up necessary textbooks that Yuzu needed as well as explaining her absence for the next couple of days. On her way home, she had been to the store to stock up on Yuzu's favourite foods, she had cleaned the entire apartment till she was sure it was sparkling, all the laundry was on, plus breakfast was ready.

Now, she was back in bed and reluctant to wake the sleeping beauty, Mei had considered just letting her sleep and get her rest, but she still needed to study, it was already past noon and Mei was sure she would ruin her sleeping schedule if she continued to sleep.

"Yuzu, babe you have to get up breakfast is ready, its gonna go cold if you don't hurry," Mei said softly as she continued to massage the blonde's hair. She saw her stir in her slumber but turn her head away slightly. Mei couldn't resist giving her a kiss, she just looked so innocent. She leaned over the sleeping figure and carefully placed soft kisses on her cheeks and nose, with a final featherlike kiss on her soft lips.

Yuzu's eyes quickly fluttered open at the sensation only to close again when she saw who was kissing her, she leaned into the kiss, there was no hesitation in Yuzu's actions as she deepened the touch.

"Good morning to you too," Yuzu said as she smiled at Mei who was still currently giving faint kisses over her face and neck. Yuzu went to wrap her arms around Mei to pull her into another kiss but stopped instantly at the pain that shot through her arm. She scrunched her face at the pain attempting to avoid making any noise to alarm Mei, though her efforts to conceal her discomfort were quickly seen though as Mei sat up abruptly.

"Yuzu be careful!" Mei scolded Yuzu before sliding off the bed and standing straight, Yuzu sat up in bed sheepishly scratching the back of her neck, smiling while looking away.

"Breakfast is ready, get dressed and come through... and be careful," Mei gave Yuzu one more look before walking out of the room to set up the table.

Yuzu sighed, she cursed herself for ruining the moment, she kicked her legs over the side of the bed and made her way out of the room before slouching down at the table, waiting for Mei to bring the food over. She had noticed that there was not a single item out of place in the apartment, how long had Mei been up? Yuzu didn't know why Mei was making such a big deal out of it, she couldn't use one arm for the next couple of weeks, but she could still do chores and help out. She didn't like feeling like a helpless child, she had always done her part when looking after the flat and cooking for the two, never once did she think about letting Mei do it all, even if she was injured.

"And what's with the sour look on your face? You can't be tired I've let you sleep for over 13 hours, I've already made breakfast, so..." Mei tailed off while gesturing at Yuzu as a sign for her to tell her what was wrong. Yuzu quickly snapped out her thoughts as she recognised she was scowling in Mei's general direction.

"Oh, nothing! I'm perfectly okay! Just hungry," Yuzu gave her a big thumbs up and a smirk, hoping to reassure her girlfriend. Mei gave Yuzu her plate and sat herself down with a cup of tea as she observed her grinning partner.

"Okay, well I went to school and picked up some stuff for you for the next week, and I managed to get 3 days off, so I'll be here if you need anything. Oh, and I already took the recycling out so you don't need to do that." Mei replied and gave her a small smile, while she sipped on her tea.

Crap, it was Yuzu's day to take the bins out, she was supposed to do that before 8 this morning, and she didn't need to go into school, I could have just got one of my friends to bring the material over after class. And why was Mei taking time out her studies?

"Thanks, you should have woken me I would have gotten up. Exactly why are you taking days off from classes you are going to miss a lot, I can take care of myself at home ya know?" Yuzu said whilst stuffing her face.

"I just wanted to be here to make sure you were okay, I know you are capable of looking after yourself, but I wanted to look after you, after all, It's my fault you got hurt in the first place," Yuzu was shocked at Meis reply, she looked up and smiled at Mei who had a pink tinge to her ears and cheeks. She thought it was adorable that even after dating for 4 years she still blushed, Yuzu knew she herself blushed all the time, but Mei constantly tried to hide her blush, Yuzu thought it was super cute!

"Awe, your so sweet Mei, are you worried I'll get lonely while you're gone?" Yuzu teased as she pointed her chopsticks accusingly at Mei, who's blush increased but she continued to look at the blonde.

"Of course," She said as she got up and walked over to Yuzu, wrapping her arms around Yuzu's neck and giving her light hug before turning her head to the side, giving her a passionate kiss. She slipped her tongue into yuzu's mouth deepening the kiss as she ran her hand over her delicate neck and up through her hair. Yuzu shuddered at the delicate feeling and relished at the kiss, sooner than she would have liked Mei pulled away and smiled as she rested her head against the blonde.

"Besides wouldn't you rather have me around to do that?" Mei said smugly as she looked into Yuzu's bright eyes. Yuzu's only response was to pull Mei into another kiss.

"Finish eating first," Mei smiled and sat back down, pulling one of her textbooks onto the table as she waited for Yuzu.

When she was finished, she made her way back to the bedroom to fetch some supplies before plonking herself down on the floor in the lounge, her books scattering over the coffee table. Mei promptly made her way over and joined Yuzu in the settee, sitting herself down on the couch behind her.

After hours of studying Yuzu collapsed back into Mei's shins letting out a long sigh.

"Ugh, sooo much information," Yuzu whined letting her head flop back to rest in-between Mei's Knees, she could see Mei smiling down at her, amused at her little drama.

"How's your assignment going, confident in it yet?" Yuzu asked from her position between Mei's legs.

"Well... it needs some extra work but I think I should pass at the very least, it needs to be perfect, I really want to do well. This is my final chance to prove myself this year, I can't afford to mess it up." Mei gave her a smile but Yuzu still knew that she was anxious about it.

"I'm sure it's going to explode the examiner's mind it's gonna be so good. You don't have a thing to worry about, kay? Here read It to me again, I'll listen and comment on anything that I believe needs improvement," Yuzu smiled again, she really wasn't interested at all in what Mei's paper was on, but she wouldn't let Mei know that, so she sat patiently while Mei recited her paper, taking mental notes.

When she was done, she looked at Yuzu hoping that she had found faults in her work, she had expected her to say what she had the last several times, 'It's great, stop worrying,' which was as much help as no help. But was pleasantly surprised when Yuzu actually gave some helpful advice.

"Sounds great, but I think you could use some quotes for the opposing argument in the 3rd paragraph, it's lacking a little compared to the others." Yuzu said still sitting in her weird position that Mei couldn't see how it was pleasant in the least. Yuzu laughed at Mei's shocked reaction.

"You don't have to look so surprised, I'm kinda smart ya know," she winked as she tilted her head back even further so she could look Mei in the eyes.

"I know you are," Mei said as she leaned down over Yuzu and placed a delicate kiss on her lips,

"Thanks for the advice, that might actually help," She gave her one last kiss before going back to her laptop, typing furiously. That was Yuzu's cue to go back to her own studies, she groaned as she shuffled forward away from Mei and continued with her work on the table.

As time trickled by Yuzu felt herself growing hungry, when she looked at the clock it was already past six, she instantaneously pushed her work away from her and using her good hand pushed herself to her feet, Mei looked at her curiously. Yuzu simply pointed towards the clock, Mei followed her gesture, her eyes going wide when she realized how late it was getting. She shot off the couch and made her way to the kitchen.

"Sorry Yuzu I didn't realize the time, what would you like for dinner?" She spoke in a rushed tone, already getting out pans and utensils, Yuzu laughed at her fretting girlfriend.

"Can we just get take out? I can't be bothered to wait, and I don't want you to cook." Mei looked at her incredulously, not moving from the kitchen.

"I don't mind making it Yuzu, and you know that kind of food is full of rubbish." Mei's argument was fair, she very rarely let Yuzu order take always, she would occasionally order it when she knew Mei wasn't going to be home till late. Which didn't go unnoticed by the raven-haired girl as she would almost always have a go at Yuzu later for it.

"Come on Mei, we've been studying all day I just want a burger and some fries," Yuzu pouted as she struggled to cross her arm under her sling. Mei stood and considered her for several moments before nodding briefly, within seconds of her approval Yuzu was on the phone making an order.

When she was finished, she thanked Mei with a kiss. Mei didn't respond to it as she glared slightly at her overjoyed lover.

"You said a burger and fries, not the entire bloody menu Yuzu, we are never going to eat everything you ordered and everything you asked for is so unhealthy, I'm not paying for it. I'll make my own dinner." Yuzu just laughed at Mei's passion, stopping her from pulling the ingredients out of the fridge to look over at the giggling blonde.

"It's not funny Yuzu, stop laughing!" Mei's response only made Yuzu beam more, as she walked around and took the items from Mei putting them back in the fridge and cupboard.

"Mei, calm down, I'll pay for it, and you're not cooking okay? I ordered loads of food and you are going to eat it," Yuzu said happily as she enveloped her free arm around Mei's neck pulling her face close enough to rest their foreheads together.

"Just chill okay, one night of unhealthy isn't going to kill you," she gave her another kiss as she waited for her reply, which came promptly, and although her voice was bitter Yuzu smiled and thanked her.

"Fine" 20 minutes later Yuzu leapt to the door as she grabbed her wallet from her bag, hunger taking over her as she practically vaulted over the furniture, gaining her several concerned shouts from Mei. When she finally got to the door, she was greeted by a man holding two bags of food, she graciously paid the 6,000 yen and made her way back inside pushing one of the bags with her foot.

"Mei come and help me, I can't carry both of the bags," Yuzu yelled down the hall, only to be greeted with a sullen looking Mei who took both the bags from Yuzu over to the table.

"Well if you hadn't ordered so much you would be able to carry it," Mei said piercingly, still unsatisfied with Yuzu having ordered so much food.

"Mei!" Yuzu was surprised at how sharp and irritated her voice sounded, she stopped as Mei looked back at her with a challenging glower, unsure of what do next, she walked over and started unpacking the food.

With Mei's assistance, it wasn't long before they were sitting at the table eating the food in silence, Yuzu watched as Mei reluctantly ate the food she had bought.

"Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that, I ehh... just didn't want to hear you complain, again." Mei gave a quick 'It's fine,' before continuing to eat.

Yuzu wanted to have a fun, relaxing dinner, not an awkward silence as Mei refused to look at her.

"Meiii please, I'm sorry, you know I didn't mean to sound harsh, can't we just have a pleasant dinner and talk like normal, I really don't want to fight...Not today," Yuzu had stopped eating and was looking at straight at Mei, hoping to get at least some kind of response.

"Okay, I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have made such a big deal out of getting takeout, you are ill and if you want to indulge in crude, vulgar, chemical covered foods I shouldn't try to stop you." She gave a thin smile and continued eating. Well, it was better than nothing Yuzu thought.

They proceeded to eat making small conversation, and when they were both finished there was still mountains of food left over, Yuzu grinned as she knew she had overspent.

"See I told you, you just wasted your money, spending all that when you knew we wouldn't eat it." Mei didn't have a scolding tone it was more tired and drained, which Yuzu picked up on straight away. She put down the boxes she was holding and pulled Mei into a loose embrace placing long slow kisses on her bare neck.

"I'm sorry, you were right like normal. But can we just drop it? I know you are exhausted, you have been up since god knows when studying and cleaning all day, so let's just forget about it and go to bed okay." She continued to trace Mei's neck with her lips as she waited for Mei to answer her.

She heard an incoherent mumble from Mei before she pulled away and placed a single kiss on the pink lips of her lover, she took Meis hand and drew her to the bedroom to get ready for bed. Once Yuzu was comfy in bed she waited for Mei, and like the prior night, she watched with painful concentration as Mei undressed in front of her. She wanted to march over and stop her from putting on any clothes, taking her right there, even if they had solved their issue about being more affectionate towards one another, Yuzu was still craving Mei's touch.

Without a second thought Yuzu was pushing Mei against the chest of drawers in their room, and although she struggled with only one arm, she had successfully stopped Mei from putting her shirt on and currently had her trapped in a feverous kiss.

Yuzu heard Mei moan into the kiss as she had done many times before, but it sounded divine to Yuzu, she hadn't heard her moan like this in a long time and Yuzu didn't want to hold back. She had already shimmied out of her short shorts and was attempting to free herself from her shirt while still holding Mei in the kiss.

To Yuzu's disappointment, Mei gently pushed her away, careful not to touch her right arm. Yuzu looking into Mei's eyes, they were full of lust and want, much like her own.

"Are you sure Yuzu, I mean isn't your shoulder and wrist still sore, and what about your bruises they still hurt?" Mei reluctantly kept her distance as she examined the needy blonde.

"Mei, take my shirt off," Mei complied, carefully removing the oversized material, exposing Yuzu's elegant body, her stomach was semi-toned and her skin was peachy, Mei was hypnotised, captivated by Yuzu's body.

Yuzu slipped her sling off, letting it fall to the ground she raised her arm and turned to the side showing Mei her entire right side. She lightly drew her free hand over her side, tracing over the only slightly yellow skin, turning back to face Mei.

"I'm completely fine, the bruising isn't even that bad, so just stop fretting." She moved forward taking Mei into another kiss while gradually drawing her back to the bed. When her knees made contact, she let herself sink back onto the mattress as Mei followed.

Mei pushed herself against the blonde, gently grinding their bodies together as their kiss never ceased, she let her hands roam over the hot body that writhed below her. She tenderly kneaded the smooth bust, as she neglected Yuzu's lips to trail along her jaw and biting when she got to her neck leaving marks. She moved back up catching the small earlobe in her teeth as she spoke, her breath hot against Yuzu's skin.

"I've...missed you so...so much," Mei said taking the skin inside her mouth, sucking lightly on it, before letting her tongue slide up the outline of her ear. Her hands swiftly made their way over Yuzu's body, landing on her breasts, fingering her firm nipples.

Yuzu let out countless moans, as she arched her back upwards into Mei's clutch desperate for more. Mei moved to suck on Yuzu's throat, determined to cover her lover with her markings. Mei could feel Yuzu straining her hips towards her insinuating she wanted more.

She quickly replaced her hand with her mouth and consumed the hard, pink flesh, rolling the solid nub with her teeth, tugging somewhat every now and again. Letting her hand slither between the pair, she slipped beneath the waistband of Yuzu's underwear wasting no time as she immediately stroked the soaked slits.

"Uugh, P-please d-don't stop!" Yuzu cried out as she felt Mei effortlessly slip two fingers into her, her pace fast and steady, knowing Yuzu craved her long-awaited release. Yuzu drove her hips to meet Meis every thrust, and she could feel her walls clamping down on Meis slick fingers.

"Mei... I'm c-close" Yuzu didn't need to say any more as Mei could feel her hips becoming more forceful. Yuzu's back arched as Mei's fingers advanced in as deep as they could curling at a precise point, Mei knew exactly what she was looking and smirked at Yuzu's reaction.

With several final thrusts, she felt the blonde clasp down for a final time as her whole body shuddered in pleasure as she cried out for Mei.

Mei finally freed the nipple and returned to Yuzu's quivering lips, taking her in an intense kiss her tongue exploring as she didn't need to do much to dominate the blonde.

"Better?" Mei questioned as she came up for air, her breath was ungracious and ragged against Yuzus lips. As Yuzu came down from her high, she didn't reply to Mei as she just hauled her down for another kiss, it was hurried and messy but neither was complaining.

"Not quite yet," Yuzu stated she slowly sat up using her left arm to steady her, she manoeuvred Mei so their crotches grazed against each other. She moved her hips gradually at first as she seductively rolled her tongue along Mei's neck coming to a halt at the base of her sensitive ear.

"One more time," without any unnecessary foreplay she began thrusting vigorously against Mei, who quickly met her every thrust. Yuzu grasped onto mei's shoulder for support as she continued her motions, every time their lips smashed against each other's yuzu could hear the wonderful sounds of her lovers fluids mixing with her own. Before long Yuzu could feel her second climax for the night building up in her stomach, intensifying at a rapid pace.

"Meii, I'm gonna... are yo-you...?" Her breath was almost incoherent she was breathing so hard, her loud pants were soon muffled as Mei pulled her into yet another clumsy kiss as her hips rode faster into blonde. Within moments they both shivered at the feeling of release, as they rode out their orgasms.

Mei let herself slump onto the bed as her stamina finally gave out, and was soon accompanied by the blonde who rested on her heaving chest.

"Okay, now I'm better," Mei smirked at Yuzu's words, giving her one last kiss she carefully wrapped her arms around the blonde tugging the blanket over the two of them.

"So, what do you want to do now, I mean it's not even nine yet?" Mei questioned as she continued to hold the blonde close, she felt Yuzu move somewhat and reach over her to the bedside table.

"How about we just stay in bed and watch a movie? I just want to lay here with you," Yuzu said as she turned on the TV that sat opposite the bed on the wall, flicking randomly through the channels until she found a movie.

"Okay," Mei responded happily as shuffled the two in bed to get comfy before they stayed contently resting in the other's arms, before drifting off to sleep.
