Teio awoke in the middle of the night, completely disoriented only being sure of one thing: she was really cold.
“McQueen, where did you go?” She mumbled groggily and upon hearing no response Teio dragged herself out of bed and heard the faint noise of a faucet running in the bathroom.
‘There she is!’ Teio thought and made her way over there as quickly as her exhausted body and mind could before promptly pushing open the bathroom door and attaching herself to McQueen’s side.
“T-Teio!? I thought you were asleep?” McQueen asked, surprised at Teio’s sudden appearance.
“I was… but it got cold… and I missed you.” Teio said, delivering a gentle kiss to her cheek.
“I wasn’t even gone for that long, I just had to use the restroom silly.” McQueen softly cooed at Teio, entwining their tails together.
McQueen noticed Teio’s ears, it’d been a while since she’d last felt them so impulsively she started gently rubbing them noting how soft and velvety they were.
Teio stiffened and let out a faint “Eep!” Her ear quickly flicking McQueen’s hand away,
“Hey! I wasn’t expecting that!” Teio whined, gingerly kissing McQueen again, this time on the lips.
McQueen let out a quiet laugh whilst a faint blush quickly took over her cheeks,
“Well then… Let’s get back to bed shall we?” She said with her tail now swishing sluggishly and attempting to awkwardly free herself from Teio
“No! I’m warm and comfortable right here and I don’t wanna move!” The other protested as she tightened her arms around her.
McQueen let out a soft giggle,
“Teio you’re just too cute sometimes” She teased Teio with a voice full of affection, “But we really do need to go to bed, tomorrow is very important after all.” She said before quickly giving Teio a peck on the forehead before she could respond.
Teio’s heart paused for a second, her grip loosened just enough to allow McQueen to slip away as blush creeped up her face, “I am not that cute! Also get back here McQueen! Stop running away!” Teio shouted, though not loudly enough as to be heard by their neighbors before giving chase in what can be described as their slowest race as both were overwhelmed by tiredness.
McQueen made it back to bed first, and began silently preparing herself for Teio to launch herself onto her, but – unfortunately for McQueen – Teio was much faster than she had anticipated.
“Oomf! T-Teio I-I can’t breathe!” She squeaked out as Teio dropped all her weight onto McQueen.
“That’s what you get for calling me cute!” Teio said while pouting, lifting her body just enough to allow McQueen to catch her breath,
“Well you can’t exactly fault me can you, not when you’re getting that flustered over being called cute and when you’re practically glued to me” She retorted still heaving yet smiling mischievously
“S-Shut up! I don’t wanna hear it!” Teio hastily said, tumbling over her own words
Teio was wondering how to get back at at McQueen when her eyes widened slightly as she had just thought of the “perfect” way to get back at her and she set her plan into motion flipping McQueen onto her back, placing her arms above her head and pinning her body down with her own, placing her face just centimeters away from McQueen’s. Their lips almost touched as Teio held this position.
Time seemed to freeze for a second,
McQueen’s breath hitched and her heart pounded, as she could feel Teio’s rapid heartbeat against her own, she could feel their breaths lining up with one another, and she could feel Teio’s exhales softly billowing against her face, and then she slowly realized the situation she was in – she was trapped and couldn’t do anything but squirm feebly under Teio’s grip becoming more and more flustered the harder she struggled.
“N-Now who’s the flustered one!” Teio stammered out clearly just as embarrassed
“Evidently not just m-me.” McQueen attempted to cooly say, failing to as she tripped over her words.
Soon McQueen realized her struggles were futile and so her efforts dwindled and the room became silent, their gazes locked together, heavy breaths against each other’s flushed faces, and time seemingly froze, they were completely entranced with one another, unsure of what to do next.
Teio made the first move, breaking eye contact with McQueen as her eyes slowly drifted downwards towards her supple lips, her face following suit as their lips neared.
But Teio’s plans were interrupted as McQueen bridged the gap first, planting her lips quickly and firmly, yet still softly onto Teio’s,
Teio was shocked and froze for a second, before leaning into it, releasing McQueen’s hands and placing one next to her face and the other on her chest, and began to sneak her tongue into McQueen’s mouth but McQueen quickly planted her newly freed hands onto Teio’s shoulders and rolled her onto her side holding her there.
“McQueen, things were just about to get good~” Teio complained, breathing heavily and clumsily grabbing her girlfriend’s clothes in a desperate attempt to pull her in and make out with her lover again.
“I really wish I didn’t have to but we need to sleep and if I let you go any further we both know we’re not getting any. We have a big day tomorrow okay?” McQueen reasoned with her, clearly just as disappointed.
Upon hearing this Teio pouted but stopped her futile resistance, letting out a low annoyed grumble and instead opting to slowly pull McQueen into a tender hug stuffing her face into her chest as compensation. McQueen let out a gentle chuckle and she tenderly wrapped her arms around Teio, giving her a soft kiss atop her head.
“Goodnight Teio, I love you” Mcqueen murmured,
“Goodnight McQueen, I love you even more,” Teio replied gently, causing McQueen to laugh quietly.
Their exhaustion came back as quickly as it had left and as Teio began to drift off into a deep sleep, the last thing Teio thought to herself was
‘I really do love her, I can’t wait for our wedding tomorrow!’
