“It’s our tenth date,” Mako announces proudly, pushing out her chest, hands against her hips. “This is what happens on tenth dates. Don’t you know the rules?”
“Where do you even come up with this stuff?” Ryuko sighs, already long since resigned to Mako’s bizarre trains of thought. “We don’t have to follow any stupid rules.”
Mako gasps dramatically. “But this is part of dating, Ryuko-chan!” she insists, leaning close enough that Ryuko has to awkwardly bend at the waist so her nose isn’t squished. “It’s our tenth date, so we finally get to share a bed!”
Ryuko glances at the sheets, then back at Mako’s frown. “But we already share a bed.” They have done since she first moved in with the Mankanshoku family. “Besides, it’s not really a bed, it’s a mat on the floor…”
“This is different!” Mako barks, and she’s really pouting now, cheeks puffing up and turning pink. “We’ve had our tenth date, and we’re sharing the bed as people who’ve had a tenth date, and it’s significant, and we’re gonna snuggle, and it’s the rules, because we’ve had our tenth date, and -”
“Okay, okay!” Ryuko laughs, holding up her hands in surrender. “It’s special, I get it.”
Mako holds her glare for a second longer, and then she’s grinning, diving beneath the bedclothes. She cuddles closer as Ryuko settles beside her, and maybe Mako’s on to something, maybe it is significant, because Ryuko can definitely feel her face heating up in the darkness.
