Merger Agreement [D11 EM, Tomo's yurt, closed]

[Iuchi Yukarin]

Yukarin felt warm already... especially after hearing that.

"Um... um... okay?"

She tilted her head after the kiss, wiggling a bit where she sat on the rug, unsure of what else to say to such a statement.

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

Words weren't really necessary at that point, anyway. And while the rug was comfortable enough, there was, after all, a bed right there.

With a light laugh, Tomonaga easily lifted Yukarin by the waist, his muscles flexing visibly. He carried her the few steps to the bed, setting her down on the edge of it. And then he joined her under her blanket. After all, he meant to keep his promise.

Tomonaga lay, panting. He'd exerted himself heavily, as though through sheer force of passion he could dispel her worries. His breathing normalized quickly, returning to a steady rate.

Turning on his side, Tomonaga propped himself up on his elbow, grinning sheer exuberance at Yukarin. "Well... I'd hoped that I could make you smile." He laughed softly, his free arm coming up to cuddle her to him. "I'm gonna say that counted."

[Iuchi Yukarin]

Yukarin had never been so tired in her life. As she was pulled against Tomonaga she also realized just how yuck she also was. And unkempt. And maybe a little sore.

All in all she felt good though.

"Too... tired to smile. Mf. Baka..." she muttered, cuddling closer.

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

Of all of those things, Tomonaga only noticed the wonderful young woman he'd come to love cuddling against him. He settled his arm pleasantly around her, chuckling at her words.

He brought his head to hers, gently kissing her forehead. "I love you, Rin-chan. And if you give me the chance, I'll prove it every day we're together."

Gently, he stroked her head. "Do you want to go back to sleep? I'll watch over you."

[Iuchi Yukarin]

"But... isn't the ceremony only a few hours away?" she managed to mutter out as way of a question.

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

"Don't worry." Tomonaga said, his voice soft, barely more than a whisper. "We've got a while. I mean, we should look our best, since you only get engaged once. But... I'll wake you when it's time, if you like."
