>You relax, chatting with Mako as Ryuko prepares her bath
>She calls you over, saying she forgot her towel (and needs someone to guard her from the perverts)
>You walk into the next room with her towel, closing the door behind you and immediately see her undressing in front of you
>She notices you cover your eyes and smiles, saying she doesn’t mind changing in front of you
>Being the gentleman that you are (being hopeful that she’ll do more than undress next time) you hand her the towel and immediately turn to walk out
>You hear unclipping behind you and turn your head to see her uniform bottom fall at her feet
>She giggles at your reaction. “And here I thought I didn’t kiss a pervert.”
>You smile wanly before she removes Senketsu (takes place around the first few episodes)
>She hands him to you before blushing oddly, saying she trusts you with him
>You keep your eyes off of her rather voluptuous chest and go in for the hug
>She pushes you off. “I need to bathe first, I smell like crap.”
>”I don’t mind, we can bathe together, right?” You smirk.
>Her face grows red and she scowls. “This is all you’re going to see. Get out.”
>Ryuko hears you grumble as you walk out and throws the bucket at you
>You chill with your aching head against the door, smiling at how fast things are going between you two
>The sound of water pouring on skin takes you by surprise and you begin to fantasize
>By the time you wake up (from dreams involving bathing with her), you’re lying down with your head in the other room
>Your head is on Ryuko’s foot as she looks down in her pajamas, smiling at you
>”What were you thinking about, Anon?” She asks sweetly.
>”Nothing much,” you lie. Without warning, she picks you up (hella strong) and hugs you tight, tears dotting her eyes.
>”Ryuko-chan, are you?-”
>”Shut up.” She smiles before continuing. “Just hug me, alright?”
>”You’re sure you’re okay?” You can’t help but ask
>”Yeah, just… didn’t think I would be this happy… you know, with the way life turned out.”
>You wrack your brain for the right thing to say, instead you just pour your heart out
>With every word she just squeezes tighter and tighter
>After what seems like hours she shuts you up and releases you
>”Let’s just sleep, I’m too damn tired to continue this…” She wipes her tears
>”Yeah, no kidding.” You look around, realizing that you didn’t bring anything to sleep in
>”Where do I-?” Ryuko puts a hand over your mouth
>”I’ve had this little sleepover planned out from the moment we sat down for dinner, you know.”
>You blink twice in confusion, and asks her what she means in a muffled voice
>Her hand leaves your mouth and holds your cheek instead
>”You’re sleeping with me, anon-kun.”
>”Say what?”
>”Relax, I just mean that we’re going to sleep next to each other.”
>She practically pushes you over to her side of the room and stuffs you into the sleeping bag
>Your moment of confusion is cut off as she delicately slides in next to you
>You’re still worried about the crying earlier, but it fades as she snuggles up to you
>Dear god her eyes are huge. You stare into them, not knowing your arms are wrapping around her
>She rests her head against you, almost inviting you to stroke and smell it (she doesn’t seem to mind at all, thankfully)
>”I want to be your Senketsu…” you say without any thought at all
>She chuckles, almost snorts. “What?”
>You close your eyes in frustration and respond. “I want you to wear me. To never let me go. To trust me and love me with all your heart.”
>Despite how cheesy it sounds in your head, Ryuko confirms it by hugging you tight around your waist.
>A soft giggle. “Then let me try you on...” She presses her chest against your’s as you fall asleep, your body numb
>...You dream of lying on a raft in the middle of the sea, relaxing in a fetal position as the waves rock the raft to and fro…
>You hear your name being called in the distance as the sun shines into your eyes, the caller’s soft voice nourishing your ears
>You open your eyes slowly, finding your face buried in your partner’s chest
>She’s got one hand pushing your head into her breasts at a soothing pace, softly saying your name over and over
>You look up and see Ryuko saying your name, her face only a bright red in a rather peaceful dream
>”Ryuko! Ryuko, for god sakes…” You can’t help but enjoy it, the comfort of the sleeping bag added to the softness and shining sun
>She wakes up quickly and looks down, you half expect her to maim you
>Instead she just smiles, realizing she was the one responsible
>”Having a sweet dream, eh?” She asks before laughing to herself
>”Could say the same about you.” You hold her arms to push her off
>She just presses your head further into her cleavage
>”Nah. It’s already happening. But just this once, okay?” She looks away, her face red.
>You keep your emotions (and nose) in check as you lie and snuggle with her
>She never lets you go...
