Contemplation

Sunlight filtered through the curtains of Akko's bedroom, the beams hitting on the bed of where Akko and Mari slept together. Mari's eyes fluttered open as she awoke from her slumber. The very first thing she saw was Akko lying on her bare chest, her arms wrapping around her waist and her slender legs snaking through Mari's thighs. Feeling the warmness of her embrace and the heat of their own skins together, she smiled.

She stroked the disheveled honey blonde hair that was pooling across her upper torso as she watched Akko's peaceful face. Her pudgy cheeks were slumped on her bare chest while her breath tickled the surface of her skin.

'She really is cute...' Mari thought.

Last night's events were amazing. Amazing enough to keep the two lovers happy for a few weeks. The heated lover's session still recalled in her mind. Vividly. Vivid enough to make her blush and giggle like a school-girl.

She told her parents that she's in a slumber party at her best-friend's. But truth be told, her best-friend is actually her lover whom she just had an amazing night with. After the heated lover's session, the three words of love that Akko dearly whispered still lingered in her mind.

'I love you...' Akko had said as she had sprawled on her chest, grinning up at her. She could still hear that soft voice in her mind as if Akko herself is whispering it to her.

"Akko, are you awake yet?" She looked down at her lover and saw her stir in her sleep. "Guess not..."

Sooner or later, they'll just have to tell their parents about their relationship. Mari dreads that day. It'll be extremely hard, and for Akko also. But she tries not to worry about it. What's important right now is that she has Akko in her arms. She has her both as a best-friend and a lover. She has her to cherish their special moments together. And she has Akko to love.

She looked down at the girl and arched her neck so her face could get closer to hers.

"Akko..."

She brushed her swift honey bangs and gazed at the beauty of her girlfriend. With one thrust of her neck, she gently kissed the top of her forehead, warm breath tickling her neck as she did so.

"Thank you for loving me."

A/N: Well, what do you think? :0 I hope I wasn't too late in writing for this small fandom. This took place after the manga, kinda like a small continuation fic. ;D If you leave a review, that means I still know that this community is still alive. :)
