The pink and purple couple were about to reach the point where they'd part ways, and at that moment Natsuki spoke. "Hey, babe?", she said tugging a little on her girlfriends arm with her hands still held. "E-E-Eh, b-babe?!", Yuri replied startled by the sudden nickname. "A-Ah, sorry, you don't like it? I called you that earlier when we were with those jerks and you didn't say anything I thought it was fine...", Natsuki said looking to the side. "N-No, I mean it is f-fine, just took me by surprise, I-I guess I didn't notice it earlier. I-I actually kind of like it?", Yuri replied looking to the ground blushing as she walked. "A-Alright, anyways! I wanted to ask you if I can come over today, not that I want to be with you all day or anything! Just to talk about something...", the shorter girl said. "Y-Yes, I always want to be with you as much as possible", the purple haired girl replied with a warm smile. "Okay then, the more I'm away from home the better anyway", Natsuki said looking away. Yuri noticed something a little odd on that last statement but decided not to push for now.

The couple eventually arrived at Yuri's place, took off their shoes and Natsuki jumped to the coach stretching her petite body as she relaxed. A sight that Yuri absolutely loved to see. "Come here", Natsuki said to her girlfriend as she tapped the empty side of the couch next to her. Yuri sat down next to her girlfriend curious for what was gonna happen. "Listen, I didn't want to bring this up yesterday or the day before because I didn't want to ruin your cheesy mood, but I think we need to clear things up before anything else. I'll go right to the point. Do you still feel like hurting yourself?", the shorter girl spoke as she grabbed her girlfriends hand. Yuri hesitated a little but decided to talk about it, she remembered all the things she went through for her and knew she could trust her, "T-To be honest, yes. Sometimes, the urge has been less and less though. I-I still do not feel very happy with myself, a-ah it does not have to do anything with you, i-it is just my stupid self". Natsuki then rubbed the back of Yuri's hand with her thumb. "Have you done it again since that time I found out?", the pink girl asked worried. "N-No, I managed to fight through the urge yesterday fine, I did not know if I could do it today as well, if you had not come over...", the taller girl said with a sad expression. "Well I'm glad I came, I don't know much about this but I want to help you", Natsuki said trying to reassure her girlfriend. "Umm, I-I do not know if I should say this but I-I trust you so... There is one more thing... In the last few weeks, I-I have started to take a like to it, like, it k-kind of feels g-good sometimes? P-Please do not hate me for this!", Yuri finished her sentence closing her eyes with fear of seeing Natsuki's face after saying something so freaky. "Babe, relax, I would never hate you or think less of you for anything, but I don't approve what you do either. I don't want to see you hurt in any way s-so you're gonna have to stop, I'm willing to do anything to help", Natsuki said with built confidence in her voice. "I-I will do my best to stop... I-I think if you just are here with me more often i-it would really help", Yuri replied blushing warmly as she looked to her hand grabbed by her girlfriend. "Say no more, purple bud! I'll be here all week if I need to!", the pink haired one replied flashing her canines with a sweet smile at her girlfriend. Yuri's violet eyes lighten up as she found herself only able to stare at her girlfriends pretty smile, she could feel the butterflies in her stomach making a mess. "What did I even do to get such an amazing and beautiful girl for myself", was the only thing on her mind.

"Hey, earth to apology planet!", Natsuki shouted at the purple haired girl in front her who seemed like her soul had left her body. Yuri reacted after this and replied startled "A-Ah sorry, I-I spaced out for a bit!". "Girl, what is going on in that pretty head of yours anyway-", Natsuki said as she was cut off by something soft pressing against her lips, which made her face red in surprise but yet she kissed back. Yuri then pulled her lips from her girlfriends and proceeded to fill her flushed face with smooches. "W-What are you doing you idiot?", Natsuki muttered as her body began to feel warmer. Yuri then stopped on one of the pinkette's cheeks and replied, "loving you". The shy girl then pressed her lips against the tsundere's cheek and left them there for a while. Natsuki could feel the warm and relaxed breath of her lover  against her skin, a feeling that sent chills down her spine, in a good kind of sense. The pink haired girl then closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Yuri's neck, relaxing to her girlfriends affection. Yuri now released her lips from Natsuki's cheek and rubbed her own cheek against Natsukis, enjoying the feeling of the soft skin of her beloved against her own. The bookworm then planted another long and passionate kiss on her girlfriends lips transmitting as much love as she could. Yuri slowly broke the kiss and leaned her back against the side of couch pulling Natsuki along with her. The petite girl was now slightly on top of her, her magenta eyes now open looking directly into Yuri's violet eyes, both girls blushing madly. "Time for some payback honey", Natsuki said playfully with a smirk on her face. Yuri's face burned like Helios sole existence at the nickname. Natsuki then brushed Yuri's strands of purple hair behind her ears and pressed her lips against Yuris quickly and repeatedly, kisses that lasted around a second. The pink haired girl then moved her lips near Yuri's ear and gave her soft smooch, then spoke in a gentle and quiet tone, "you're beautiful". Yuri now felt chills all over her body at the voice of girlfriend on her ear. Natsuki then planted another soft kiss in the same spot and spoke again, "you're smart", then another, "you're adorable", then another, "you're gorgeous", and another, "I love your face", and another, "I love your eyes", another, "I love your skin", another, "I love your body", another, "I love everything about you", and yet another before finally hug her girlfriend tight breathing softly against her ear. Yuri was almost like she was under a spell after listening to all the nice things Natsuki told her kiss after kiss, the bookworm could almost feel tears of happiness forming, but she managed to held them back. Natsuki then moved her face in front of Yuris and kissed her lips one last time before breaking the kiss slowly and speak with her lips still close to her girlfriends, "I'll make sure you learn to love yourself again", Natsuki said and gave her a quick kiss on the lips again before finally pulling her face away from her and roll over resting her head on Yuri's chest, to which Yuri still under the spell of Natsuki's love only responded by wrapping her arms around her petite body, closing her eyes and enjoying the sweet strawberry smell of her pink hair.

The girls stayed there, cuddling for what it seemed hours, although were only minutes. They did not say a word and did nothing but enjoying each other's company and warmth. Yuri finally broke the silence. "Darling", the shy one said calmly. "Hmm?", Natsuki replied calmly as well. "I love you", Yuri said with a warm and happy smile. "I love you too lovely dummy", Natsuki replied with a smile of her own. Yuri only replied by wrapping her arms around her pulling her even closer as if she would disappear if she let her go. "Please don't leave me", Yuri said with a quiet voice. "I'm not leaving you, worried dummy", the shorter girl replied as she rubbed her girlfriends hands wrapped around her trying to reassure her. "Never, please do not ever leave me", Yuri's voice started to crack. "Stay with me", the shy girl finally said before quietly beginning to cry. Natsuki, worried as she should be, rolled over and grabbed Yuri's face with her small hands, wiping her lovers tears away with her thumbs and forcing her to look her in the eye. "I. Will. Stay. With. You. Always", the pink haired one kissed Yuri's nose softly and then said one more thing, "I will be always there for you", she said planting a kiss filled with all the love she could gather on her girlfriends lips. Yuri's sudden worry she just felt transformed into another indescriptible happiness as she wished and hoped this moment would last forever.
