Amby

Nagi and Reo have one of their usual sleepovers.

She wakes up to the feeling of Nagi's hand gently gliding along her torso. Reo's eyes flutter open as she takes in her surroundings. At least half of her vision is covered by white, wavy hair, and the other half of her vision is stuck filled with her room's speckled ceiling. The girl on top of her shifts, nuzzling herself into her chest as Nagi's hands go back to feeling the skin under her shirt. She's probably searching for even more warmth through the touch of her skin.

All of Reo's senses get attacked as she feels Nagi's legs intertwine with hers, her hands under Reo's shirt, and the overwhelming smell of Nagi's hair in her face. Reo can feel the heat climb up her face as Nagi continues to unconsciously cuddle up to her.

As much as Reo knows she shouldn't be enjoying this sensation and that she should push Nagi off, the feeling of bliss overrules her thoughts, and she stays there lying with the girl. She's surprised she hasn't woken up by now, given how loudly her heart is beating and how the sun is shining directly on her face.

She's surprised she hasn't woken up by now, given how loudly her heart is beating and how the sun is shining directly on her face.

Reo doesn't know how much more of this she can take anymore, her whole body beginning to sweat from the heat overload. She starts to shift her body slowly out of Nagi's grasp, careful not to wake her up. Reo cautiously moves her legs out of their tangled mess, following right after with her arms. Just as Reo is about to finish escaping Nagi, her arms come and wrap around her waist, pulling Reo back to her.

Reo mentally curses at herself as she turns her head around to glance at Nagi, who is now staring at her with tired, still half-lidded eyes.

"…Reoo…Where are you going..?" Nagi mumbles while bringing her somehow even closer. She nuzzles into her neck while Nagi's arms travel around her waist, casually slipping her fingers underneath her shirt. By accident or not, she glides her lips along Reo's neck for a moment, sending shivers down her spine.

She quickly turns her body around to face Nagi, which just leads to her taking that as a sign to continue cuddling. She crosses their legs once more, attaching to her as if she's a koala and Reo's the tree. The space between them is enough for them to stare at each other as Nagi waits for an answer.

"Sorry, treasure, it was just really hot, and I needed to cool down," she murmurs out an apology, receiving a little pout from Nagi.

For some reason, this morning feels a lot different than any other morning they've shared. Reo doesn't particularly know why because this happens almost every time she sleeps over.

She looks at Nagi long and hard, taking in all of her attributes. She notices the way that the sun shines onto her skin, it's as if there's a glow around her, making her look like an angel. Not to mention her skin looks smoother than ever before, with her lips being a slight contrast to the color of her pale body.

Reo's hands automatically reach out, inches away from placing her thumb along Nagi's lip. She stops herself before she can actually touch her, getting ready to stutter out a lame excuse. She'd probably say that there was fuzz or something on her lips, and that's why she was reaching out to stroke them. That'll surely sound like a completely reasonable reason to touch another girl's lips.

Before Reo can say her excuse, Nagi leans forward into her hand, allowing her thumb to graze over her bottom lip, and she swears her heart just skipped two beats. Her gaze alternates between Nagi's gray eyes and her pink-tinted lips as she debates her next move.

Her left hand wraps around Nagi's face, moving to graze her lips with the tip of her thumb. She feels how she inhales deeply as she cups her cheek. Reo looks back up at Nagi's eyes, catching her staring at her lips. A warm feeling spreads through her body as they make eye contact, inadvertently pulling her face closer to Reo's.

Their faces are inches apart. With her eyes widening ever so slightly, Reo's gaze falls back onto Nagi's lips. Her nose brushes against Nagi's gently, and she notices her grip slowly tighten around the right side of her waist. As she ghosts her lips over Nagi's, she can feel the way she mumbles Reo's name, and suddenly this is all too much for her. She thinks about their position and, most of all, what they are about to do, as one of her hands crawls up into Nagi's hair.

Nagi stays at a distance for half a second more before leaning forward, tenderly planting a small kiss on Reo's lips. Her eyes widen for a fraction of a second before she closes them, returning Nagi's kiss while carding her fingers through her wavy hair.

Reo can feel the way Nagi melts into her arms, leaving one hand on Reo's hip as the other hand climbs up her back. No body parts of theirs are separated, and just the feeling of their legs slightly rubbing against each other is enough to make Reo crazy.

Nagi breaks away first, breathing heavily, leaving Reo with a disappointed feeling in her chest. Her chest rises and falls; she didn't even realize she was running out of breath. Nonetheless, she doesn't want to stop here; she doesn't ever want to. She chases the feeling again, finding Nagi's lips and pulling her closer. Nagi's eyes widen, but she quickly follows her movements, tilting her head for a more comfortable angle.

It's almost as if a million thoughts are running through her mind, but zero at the same time. Is this okay for them to be doing? She doesn't think best friends are supposed to be kissing each other. Reo knows that the boundary line between just friends and something more has been crossed multiple times, but isn't this kind of pushing it?

She doesn't know if they are doing this right; they have been going with their senses this whole time, but to Reo, it feels amazing. She wants it to feel like it's wrong, like they shouldn't be doing any of this, but her brain and body are fighting against each other, and her burning desire for Nagi overrules any other opinion in her head.

"Reo…I need….to breath," Nagi mumbles against her mouth, her words broken up by the constant soft pecking at her lips from the other.

"Sorry," she mumbles while letting out a low sigh and leaving one last quick kiss before creating distance between them. Nagi leaves a firm grip on her back, keeping Reo close to her.

They both stare at each other for a bit, taking in everything that just happened, the two of them breathing deeply while maintaining eye contact. Usually, Reo could read the girl's expressions, but right now she wouldn't know how she felt about everything if it weren't for Nagi's hands caressing her back and hip.

"Reo's thinking again," Nagi murmurs against the hand lying against her cheek. Her eyes are nothing like the ones she saw earlier—those were tired and unfocused, but now Reo can tell she's watching her closely. She appreciates the undivided attention, but the more Nagi stares, the more nervous she gets.

She lets out a soft giggle at Nagi's comment, replying with a joking remark. "Don't make it sound like such a bad thing." Nagi reaches over and nuzzles herself into Reo's neck, pressing soft kisses against her skin.

She waits patiently for her to answer while resting her head on her shoulder; she can feel Nagi's lashes flutter against her. Reo gently burrows her head in her white hair, debating on what her next words should be.

"I mean, it's kind of obvious what I'd be thinking of," she says sheepishly, moving her gaze away from her, but still keeping her head on top of Nagi's.

She lifts her head to look at Reo, staring at her with a blank expression which she assumes is Nagi's way of telling her to continue talking.

She fiddles with the back of Nagi's hair, messing with a strand as she tries to say the right words.

"I just… I wanted to know what you think we are." Her fingers pause through her hair for a split second, continuing once she finishes her sentence. Reo feels embarrassed for having to ask this question, but she needs answers.

Nagi takes a second to think, not showing surprise or really any expression on her face. She can tell that the girl is searching for an answer because of how still she is.

"We're whatever Reo wants us to be," she finally says, shrugging as if this isn't an important topic—well, at least for her, it is.

Reo's expression falters a bit, biting her lip out of irritation from the letdown of her answer. Doesn't Nagi have any sense of autonomy?

"Nagi, I'm being serious."

"I am too."

She lets out a dramatic sigh, gently grabbing onto her shoulders and pushing Nagi back. She stares intently at her, seeing if Nagi is joking around or just being insufferable on purpose.

"Do you ever think about what you want?" Nagi lets out a little pout at that, along with the fact that Reo pushed her away. She bites her lips slightly, taking in Reo's face; she rubs her legs slightly with Reo's in an attempt to cuddle again.

"I want Reo to be happy."

That answer is not what she wants to hear. With another exhausted sigh, Reo turns over and lies on her back, staring at the roof. As much as she doesn't want to see Nagi, she continues to focus on her reactions through her peripheral vision.

"I want you to tell me what you want, and don't say whatever I want."

A little moment of silence falls between them before Reo hears shuffling beside her. Nagi sneaks her way back to her side as she lays an arm on top of her stomach, and place her lips against her shoulder.

"I want to be with you until the end."

Heat crawls up Reo's face as she quickly looks at Nagi, then away, placing a hand over her face in embarrassment. She's silent for a second, taking in the weight of her words. Sure, Nagi has said things like this all the time, but today it feels different. Before, it felt like an exaggeration to Reo; now it feels like an actual possibility.

"Me too," she says while grinning, pushing Nagi's bangs back to plant a small kiss on her forehead. She suddenly shifts, climbing over on top of Reo, lying down on her chest as she moves her head to still be able to see her.

"Does this mean you're my girlfriend now?" Nagi questions, with a sort of sparkle in her eyes that is hard to resist. Reo feels the heat from before returning, immediately nodding so fast that it almost makes her dizzy.

Nagi's eyes light up from her answer, smiling at her happily with wide eyes. Reo can't help but smile back, looking at her with so much love. She reaches her arms around Nagi and holds her close, humming with content as she feels Nagi hug her back just as strongly.
