Work Text:
Mary, who was lying on her back on the sofa in the living room of the apartment, enjoyed the weekend off by lazing around and watching cartoons in the afternoon.Of course, the weekend for Mary was a golden day because she could be free for 2 days from the weight of her work as a Team Leader of the technology development section at a well-known company in Tokyo City, Momobami Co.Although the salary is quite large, of course Mary also need a day off to keep her mind healthy.
“Mary...can you help me out here for a while?” a girl shouted from the kitchen and Mary immediately went over to her.
“What's wrong, Ririka?” said Mary. "Can you buy some cumin at the convenience store? I just realized that there was no cumin when I was cutting the meat" said Ririka, the girl with grayish white hair.
Mary just sighed “Can't we just deliver it for dinner? I'm really too lazy to go out right now honey” Mary said.
“But don't you want me to make chicken katsu curry? I even bought a lot of chicken meat for you and of course I really want to cook it for you” Ririka said with a sigh while pouting.
Oh God......how could I say no to this cute human.
“Okay, I'll buy it for you” said a defeated Mary.
"Yeayyyy...I promise this katsu will be great, honey" said Ririka happily as she kissed Mary's cheek making her cheeks turn red.
“By the way, can you buy me a shine muscat cake too? I've been dying to taste it since yesterday” said Ririka as she continued cutting the meat.
“Alright but after I got home, give me a one full face kissses okay?” said Mary who was heading for the apartment door.
“I'll give you as many as you want!” shouted Ririka from the kitchen.
oh god, Mary you are such a simp!

They spent their evening eating ririka's chicken katsu curry in the living room while watching a movie.Mary finished her meal with gusto and put her plate on the table in front of the sofa and sipped a glass of water.
“Nice katsu,” said Mary.
“right?of course it's good when im cooked it, even your mother said that I'm good at following recipes quickly” said Ririka who was eating her shine muscat cake.
“Of course, Mrs. Saotome” replied Mary with a grin.
The last word that Mary had just said certainly made Ririka's cheeks blush. They had just had their late summer wedding in privacy and invited only close relatives and close friends.Although ririka had lived with mary for a long time before they got married, but of course ririka still looked nervous especially since ririka had just officially being mary's wife and took Mary's surname with kirari's permission and Of course, Kirari couldn't refuse her twin sister.
Seeing Mary's ring finger encircled by a gold wedding ring and wearing it every day, of course made Ririka very happy.
“After this, what are we going to do? Go straight to bed or play board games first?” asked Mary while tasting Ririka's cake.
“Hmmm...how about we play a board game for a while? Didn't you say that tomorrow morning there is a meeting of all team leaders with Kirari?” replied Ririka in a joking tone.
“Ririka~ Don't remind me about that” replied Mary while sighing heavily.
“ha ha..or I'll tell Kirari that you want to take a day off” said Ririka as she cleared their plates and walked to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
“Kirari will say okay to you but then I will get a message from her, I have to leave at dawn...of course you know the nature of your twin” said Mary as she helped Ririka dry the dishes.
“ha ha ha...so let's play three rounds of jenga for a bit and the loser has to buy a burger for the winner” said Ririka as she held up her hand to make a deal.
“I accept the challenge” replied Mary with a confident tone.
And of course the jenga game that night was won by ririka won 3 rounds in a row due to mary's hands moving too much when moving the jenga blocks and they get ready for bed when the clock strikes 10 p.m.

Mary had just come out of the bathroom wearing blue short-sleeved pajamas after finishing cleaning her body and drying her hair with a towel and saw Ririka still sitting in front of the dressing table while applying night cream to her face.
“I thought you were done with your skincare routine” said Mary as she put the towel on the rack and walked to the bed and sat on the edge as she put her cell phone on the small table to charge it and laying down while waiting for Ririka to finish with her routine.
“It's done” replied Ririka after putting the last of the cream on her face and walked over to Mary on their queen size bed wearing yellow pajamas and lying between Mary and the wall of their apartment and pulling up the blanket to cover their bodies from the cold air conditioning of their apartment.
Mary automatically wrapped her arms around Ririka's waist while kissing the back of her neck.
“Mary?” said Ririka softly.
“Hmm?” replied Mary while stroking Ririka's waist from behind.
“Have you ever had any thoughts about regretting marrying me?” asked Ririka in a quiet and careful tone.
“Hey, why do you ask like that, honey? Of course I've never had any thoughts like that,” Mary gently denied.
Ririka was silent for a moment.
“Really?” she asked again while stroking Mary's hand.
“I would regret marrying your psycopathic twin sister” Mary replied in a joking tone that make ririka laughed softly.
“listen to me riri...don't you ever think about whether you deserve anything good because of the mistakes made by your clan elders. you and kirari deserve a normal life too without the restraints of your clan.Don't doubt it, okay? you deserve it,sugar plum.” mary said while kissing the back of ririka's neck to calm her down.
Ririka turned to face Mary with glassy eyes while placing both hands on Mary's cheeks.
“Thank you for always keeping me sane and not drowning in those thoughts mary. Thank you for choosing me to be your life partner and taking me away from my clan.” said ririka while gently rubbing both of mary's cheeks and kissing mary's lips for a moment after that kiss from the forehead, heading to the nose, then back to the lips for a little longer.
"And thank you for letting me do it all for you riri, and once again you deserve happiness and normal life too" replied mary by kissing ririka's forehead for a long time.
