tsumugi had woken up to the smell of food wafting into her room. well, her and manaka's room, as they had moved in together into a small apartment about a year prior. manaka of course had protested a bit a first, saying she didn't want to be too far away from both her father and walnuts, but tsumugi had put that into consideration before picking a location and their shared apartment was still in mizuna. it made it easier for the both of them after they had finally started dating about two years prior, and now that they were both 18 living together was a lot more convenient.
tsumugi had noticed when she woke up and it had made sense from the smell of food, but manaka being absent in their bed had clearly meant she was cooking breakfast for the two of them like she did more often than not. she found it comforting to wake up next to manaka (who was usually in her embrace, tsumugi was a bit of a clingy sleeper), and she also enjoyed talking to her after they had woken up while manaka made them breakfast. maybe she was a little clingy, but manaka seemed to enjoy her presence too.
she smiled as she walked out of their room and into the kitchen, seeing her girlfriend make breakfast.
"g'morning manaka! you should've woken me up too when you got up, you know i like being in here when you cook."
"i would have, but you looked really peaceful and i would've felt bad disturbing you even if i doubt you wouldve cared if i woke you. you got up at the right time though, im just about done cooking."
tsumugi happily sat down at the table in their small apartment kitchen, mouth watering as manaka put their breakfast on the table. tsumugi had eaten a lot of food in her reviewing career, but manaka's always tasted the best to her.
"y'know manaka, you're just like food!" tsumugi had said between bites of her meal.
"and... what is that supposed to mean?"
"i cant live without you, manaka!"
"you're so cheesy, you know that?" manaka replied, a rosy blush spreading across her cheeks. "just eat your breakfast."
"aww, i love you manaka!"
"...love you too tsumugi."
