Author: DigiExpert
Fandom: Mai HiME
Pairing: Natsuki/Shizuru
Rating: G
Request/Prompt: Effort
Contains: what the title says
Word Count: 300
Summary: First way to fix things: Cook. If you can't cook, you'd better get food from somewhere she loves!
Notes: The second of what will be 4 or 5 drabbles on this prompt showcasing this pairing. They'll be able to stand alone as well. Since there's nothing for me to claim this round, I figure that I'll go overboard with the lightning round prompts :D Credit for the idea for this drabble and future ones goes to judamacaby
Placing the last of the takeout containers on the table, Natsuki wiped her brow. She’d just made it home before Shizuru. She glanced up at the clock. Any moment now Shizuru would-
“I’m home,” called a gentle voice as the door opened. There was the sound of shoes being slipped off and placed inside the basket. “I’ll get dinner started and you can-“
Natsuki quickly appeared in front of Shizuru. “There’s no need,” she remarked. I took care of it?”
“You cooked? But after last time-“
“Trust me, there’s no pancakes on the ceiling,” answered a flustered Natsuki crossing her arms. “I got your favorite takeout instead. I thought you could take it easy tonight instead of worrying about everything.” She moved closer to the surprised Shizuru and slipped an arm around her waist. “Come on.” She began to lead her to the living room.
“Natsuki… you didn’t have to, you know,” whispered Shizuru softly.
“I did, Shizuru. It took me long enough to figure it out, but I realized I wasn’t paying attention to you. I was busy with my work and you with yours. You were stressed out, and I didn’t catch it.”
“Until I threw the teabag into your cereal?” supplied Shizuru.
“Well, that was kind of a wakeup call. I mean, that’s not a normal thing to do to your girlfriend you know.” Natsuki stopped just in front of the low coffee table and turned to Shizuru. “Look, I just want you to enjoy tonight, okay?”
Shizuru put her arms around Natsuki’s waist and pulled her close. “You sure you aren’t doing it just so I don’t throw more teabags at you?” she teased.
“Hey, don’t twist my words!”
Shizuru giggled and kissed Natsuki’s cheek. “Ara, the truth comes out now I see.”
“Shizuru!”

Summary: Second way to fix things: Get her to relax while you clean up. Or else.

Empty takeout cartons sat on the table. Shizuru eyed them and began gathering them to her. Dinner was over and she’d clean up before she had to dust the living room. There would be time to vacuum as well if she hurried.
“What are you doing?” asked Natsuki, eying her warily.
“Clearing the table so that I can take care of the other chores. There’s quite a bit to do tonight. I’m afraid it will be another late night-“ She was surprised to see Natsuki reach across the table and push all the containers away from her.
“I don’t think so,” replied Natsuki.
“Natsuki! Don’t be like that. There’s a lot-“
Natsuki cut her off again. “No. You worked all day. I told you you were going to relax tonight.” She pointed to the couch, and a book on the side table. “Read. You haven’t in I don’t know how long, and I know you loved that book.”
“But the chores!”
“I’ll take care of the table and the other things. Relax.” Natsuki’s tone left no room for arguing.
Shizuru held up her hands in defeat as Natsuki stood and guided her to the couch, making sure that Shizuru wouldn’t attempt to clean or any such nonsense. Natsuki placed the book in Shizuru’s hands. “Read.”
Knowing that she was beaten, Shizuru picked up the book and flipped to the page she had last read. At first, she had no clue as to what was going on. The more she thought about it, the more she had trouble remembering the last time she’d read the book. Perhaps Natsuki was right. She really did need to rest, and Natsuki had put so much effort into making sure that she did. At that moment, Shizuru was truly grateful for her girlfriend.
