Captivity had been maddening. Even more maddening was her inability to even fight her own way to freedom from that crazy Pirate Queen once help arrived. She'd really wanted to at least deck her in the mouth for having the nerve to proposition her like that, but alas, the opportunity never came.

At least now she could return to her generally pleasant life in the gardens, though, right? She missed Sayaka. Toward the end of that horrendous ordeal, she spent a large part of her time thinking about her. That whole thing with the Pirate Queen threatening her with marriage had freaked her out, and since then she just wanted to get back to her girlfriend already. Even though she'd refused her advances, part of her still felt guilty about it.

That'd explain the brisk pace that she took in making her way back to their house.

"I'm sure Sayaka will be glad to see me~" she chuckled to herself, imagining the surprise and delight that would surely be on Sayaka's face when she came through the front door.

Except the front door was locked.

"What the--"

Confusion. Sayaka never locked the door in broad daylight like that, unless she was going out. At first she thought maybe that was the deal, and opted to wait a little bit, but once an hour passed it just seemed too strange. Cue the banging knocking on the door.

"Sayaka! Hey, you in there? It's me! Kyoko! I'm home!"

Boy, was she ever not expecting how this was all going to go.

Comments

[disillusionment]

After a while, Kyoko finally pulls away, both out of exhaustion and because she's a bit nervous that she's gone too far.

"...Well. I uh. ....Yeah."

Forever articulate.

[tookupthesword]

Sayaka said nothing. She... didn't quite know WHAT to say. But she didn't quite want to be outside anymore, so she tries to communicate 'go inside' by jerking her head towards the door.

[disillusionment]

"...Oh."

Kyoko had managed to get so swept up in the moment that she forgot they were still on the doorstep. Blushing profusely, she hurries inside.

[tookupthesword]

Sayaka silently follows, while also turning back into normal, as she had previously been magicced up, getting rid of the costume and the sword that was around. She doesn't really know how to summon those without doing so.

But yes, inside, all things normal now and Sayaka just slumps her head down after taking a seat.

[disillusionment]

Kyoko follows, taking a seat next to her and leaning on her shoulder. She sighs heavily.

"Hey...I really am sorry 'bout this."

[tookupthesword]

"... Oh? No, I gotta say sorry too... the time I've spent locked up has decided to crash down on me now..."

Right now, relaxation is the main topic on her mind.

[disillusionment]

All Kyoko could bring herself to do now was heave a huge sigh of relief and flop down on the couch.

"...Sorry. I'm just really wiped out after all that with the crazy pirate and all..."

[tookupthesword]

And then, an idea came to Sayaka, a glorious one.

"... So why don't we just fall asleep right here?"

[disillusionment]

"Hm?"

A glorious idea indeed.

"That...sounds really nice."

[tookupthesword]

"Okay. I'm going first."

And then she falls over sideways, eyes closed, trying her best to lose consciousness.

[disillusionment]

From there Kyoko kind of flops on top of her, careful to not crush her in the awkward position. She snuggles up and shuts her eyes, smiling a little.

"...Hey, Sayaka? I'm....I'm really glad we came here, aren't you?"

[tookupthesword]

The answer... is not an answer.

More of a strange mumble, that can not be put into a form of word.

[disillusionment]

"I'll take that as a yes."

She goes quiet now, laying her head down and letting her exhaustion take over.
