Polka scoffed, or the closest thing to a scoff someone more sleep than awake could muster.
She rolled over, trying to take a hold of the covers that had been pulled away to no avail, feeling the coldness around her the fennec curled up but it was useless, the warmth was gone and she was up.
Growling she opened her eyes, closing them while whining upon finding the sunlight coming through the window at the other side of the room, it hurt her eyes a bit, hissing she rolled again so she could ignore more easily the sunlight.however her surrounding were still bright enough to stop her from falling asleep again, finally becoming aware of the hand that was shaking her.
"Omarun, hey Omarun, wake up"
The voice was soft, it made her feel fluffy inside like every time she heard it, which meant everyday, it never felt less comfy though.
Moving her ears she blinked a couple of times more, getting used to the brightness around her before turning half-around and meeting face to face with her partner.
"Mnnn... M'rning..."
Her ears moved at the sound of a cute giggling.
"Good Morning Omarun"
"Mhm... Wamy"
Lamy giggled like she always did when hearing such a cute nickname, Polka could only smile at the sound.
"You're the last one to wake up, again, breakfast is ready"
“...five more minutes”
“You wouldn’t be so tired if you didn’t chose to stream at 3 am”
“But it’s fun”
Lamy only sighed, slightly exasperated.
The elf made a motion to get up from the bed she was sitting on, but Polka wasn't having none of that, she wanted to cuddle with her cute girlfriend.
"Wha?! Omarun!"
Taking her hand she pulled her towards the bed despite her protests, not that she was really fighting, unless Lamy had something to do she usually was up to the antics of her lovers, specially when she was being pampered.
She kissed the back of her hand making her giggle at the same time she laid down besides the fennec that was embracing her.
"Omarun... We've to get up"
"Mhm"
Polka knew that was half-true, on one hand if the sun was this strong it meant it was indeed considerably late, on the other hand it was a lazy day, one of the very few they get to have yearly and even more rare that all of them had it free.
Lamy giggled in the embrace trying to get out to no avail, she wasn't going to let her go, at least for now, the fennec just wanted to enjoy this a bit more.
The taller girl in her arms sighed, giving up in escaping and relaxing at least. Lamy moved around a bit until she was comfortable enough and closed her eyes.
At least until Nene poked her head into the room.
"What's taking so-"
Lamy looked at over, giving her a pleading look while Nene just blinked at her owlislish, it was a funny scene, really, specially since she was incredibly comfortable even if she seemed to want to be free from the short girls embrace.
And Lamy's pleading look was always cute to see, still it didn't take away a very little feeling of missing out.
"Oi Not fair! You woke me up early!"
"Nenechi-"
"I want cuddles too"
Nene walked across the room in seconds, it wasn't only that she was feeling slightly jealous, nothing to worry about if she was being honest, as all of them had their little moments too.
It was mostly because Lamy had indeed woken her up early, by accident, it involved a certain elf [who had slept in the middle that night] slipping while getting up and falling right above her, talk about an abrupt wake up call.
As such she wanted some more sleep.
"Nene-"
"Oof"
Polka felt the bed move but she didn't even bothered to open her eyes, deciding to only tighten her embrace on the elf.
"Nenechi it's late please-"
Polka just stifled a laugh as Lamy was cut off all while Nene embraced her, almost climbing upon the other girl.
Nene figured this was a good payback from being woken up earlier.
Lamy groaned but as she was effectively trapped didn't move any more, instead deciding the best course of action was to enjoy the embrace of her two lovers.
The shortest girl wouldn't be able to tell how long the three of them stayed like that, specially since she was sure she dozed off at some point, likewise she was sure the other two did the same.
On the back of her mind she had the nagging feeling that someone was missing, it had been there for the last two days even though a certain lioness has been gone for way longer than a couple of days, it's just that part of her didn't wanted to think about it, it's been too long.
In reality Botan had gone to the hospital to have a full check up and hadn’t been home lately, but she knew she would come soon enough, might as well arrive to wake them up.
With that in mind she ended up sleeping soundly.
They all woke up when Botans two little terrors, her cats Shishi and Ron decided that enough was enough and climbed upon them, scaring whatever sleep they might've left.
Polka growled in annoyance.
"What have we done to you two to get bothered like this, can't you just let us stay like this for a few more minutes?"
Lamy, who had sit on the middle of the bed and with one of the two cats in her arms gave her a disapproving look.
"Omarun, it's past Twelve"
There was a whine in the other side of the bed.
"But it's winter, it's cold outside"
Lamy sighed, the cat on her arms squirming.
"Nenechi we've heating, that excuse won't do"
"Pleaseeeee, if we stay longer we might be able to have breakfast with Shishiron"
"Shishiron isn't coming back until the night though"
"Eh?!"
Polka shot up from the bed just in time to have a cat jump over her head.
"I thought she was coming before lunch time, it’s been a week" she whined
Lamy made a grimace at the disappointed tone in the fennecs voice.
The other two saw Polka fell face-first dramatically into the pillow below her.
"Not fair" a muffled voice came out "We haven't been able to have a proper date in months"
Lamy patted her back soothingly.
Nene, who had remained laying in the bed all this time finally got up to join with her hand.
"C'mon Omarun, we can always try to schedule another one, like a collab!"
Polka let out a long whine before sighing and getting up a bit, resting on her arms.
"It better be soon" she pouted.
Nene rubbed between her ears, making her close her eyes, she almost felt like purring.
"Pretty sure Shishiron isn't too happy about it either"
"Mhm"
She stayed like that as long as the other two let her before giving up and getting out of bed.
It was almost 1pm.
Polka didn't bother to shower, they weren't going out nor they had anything else to do, it was a lazy day and Polka was going to make sure the rest of her lovers and she were going to make good use of it.
Meaning they would stay inside and play video games, watch movies and eat not-so healthy food.
Polka sighed slightly as she splashed her face with cold water, moving her ears slightly at the sensation.
If she was being honest it wasn't her ideal lazy day but it would have to do, the others weren't exactly thrilled either but they all reached the conclusion of waiting Botan for their planned date, first because it wouldn’t be as funny or comfy without her and second because they were barely able to have dates with the four of them, so even if they had to reschedule they were better off waiting her.
"Omarun are you almost done?"
Her voice came out muffled as she dried her face with a towel.
"Yeah, gimme a sec"
"'Kay, we'll be waiting at the table then"
And with that she heard footsteps going down the corridor.
Polka hanged the towel in the sink, it was quite humid, which wasn’t good, so she decided to just leave it there to dry, it would be just easier that way.
Yawning she looked at her reflection once more.
Messy hair, slightly tired eyes and bag under said eyes.
Perfect.
Moving a strand of hair out of her face she got out.
Pancakes where a bit too dry for her taste but they were in the mood for something sweet, specially Nene and if she was being honest the extra things such the syrup and jam Ina had gift them made for a good breakfast, Lamy had also taken her time cutting some of their leftover fruits to accompany it, overall it was something enjoyable.
"And then Neneceratops died! That's not even fair! It’s the third this week!"
"Honestly Nene..." She swallowed "You’re going through Neneceratops faster than Miko did with Elytras"
"Those weren’t even my fault!”
"You lost your first Elytra one day after you got it!"
"That’s the only one I’ve lost!"
“By sheer luck”
“Oi!”
Polka and Nene kept on bickering while Lamy only scoffed, picking some more tea.
They were all sitting at the table, enjoying their considerably late breakfast.... Or kind of early lunch, just happy with the fact they didn't had much to do that day, no meetings, no streams and not going over to the studio, just a comfortable lazy day.
Polka's earlier dark mood seemed to be doing better, tail wagging slightly while eating the pancakes.
Nene was as cheerful as always and for that she was glad, while she also sulked after being told Botan wasn't going to be back home until late night (she really enjoyed cuddling with the taller woman, as did all of them) she seemed to still wanting to enjoy their day off.
Lamy wouldn't deny being a bit unhappy too but on the other hand she was kinda glad they didn't had to go out as the weather was considerably cold (it was winter after all), in such times she really preferred to stay at home.
Nene was the first to finish breakfast, deciding to take it as an opportunity to be the one to chose what they would they doing first.
The elf shake her head with amusement and Polka scoffed, taking another spoon of cream and dumping it onto her food.
Lamy meanwhile decided to keep company to the shorter girl, serving a bit more tea onto her cup.
As they enjoyed each others company Nene came back pretty much running, her energy truly endless.
"Oi, you're taking too long!"
"Almost done"
Nene stood there as she waited for them to finish, taking Polkas hand as soon as she was done while Lamy put their stuff away.
"Disney?"
"Yeah!"
Lamy found they were watching Snow white.
"Have you seem this one?"
Nenes green eyes were looking directly at Lamy.
"Not yet"
"Eh, really!?"
"Too loud Omarun"
"Sorry"
Lamy sat between Polka and Nene, soon being cuddled by them on both sides.
"I really like this one"
"Hm"
Lamy buried her face into Nenes hair, taking a deep breath and finding some comfort on the sweet scent, staying like that while the movie started.
"It's not fair"
Nene felt like throwing the controller, she hasn't been able to win a single Mario Kart race.
Damn rng.
"Awww c’mon Nenechi, it’s not that bad"
"You're just saying that because you've won the last three races!"
'
"Hey! Lamy has won more cups!"
"That's not the point!"
Said elf contented herself with opening another can of beer while watching her lovers quarrel on the floor.
"No wait-"
*thud*
"Nene get off of me"
"No"
"Lamy help me"
Polka tried to extend dramatically a hand towards Lamy but it was useless, she kept on drinking.
Groaning the fennec let her face hit the floor.
"... You're heavy"
"I’m not”
“You are!”
“I’m Not”
“Oof”
“You’re annoying Omarun, but you’re comfy"
Polka only whined but didn't made any move to push Nene off, Lamy only laughed while watching the fennec’s tail betray her.
"So, ramen?"
"Yeah, we can also get some for Botan"
"Wait, I’m placing the order"
"Do they have any Sake?"
"Are you serious?"
"Wamy, you just drank a couple of beers like two hours ago!"
"And?"
",,,, They have some"
“What, where are you even ordering the Ramen”
Polka’s complains fell on deaf ears.
"Oh, can you order a bottle?"
"Done"
"Shouldn't take too long right?"
"I doubt it, its quite late tho"
"Barely five!"
"Late indeed"
"What do you wanna watch now?"
"Oh, I know, wait I’ll search for it"
"Should we worry?"
"... Nah"
"... Okay"
They usually didn't eat on the living room, usually being the key word.
"Nenechi I thought you said this was a mature show"
Nene looked back, slightly surprised.
"It is!"
"What's the name?"
"I carly"
Polka who had finished eating decided to search the name up while having the show on the background.
Soon she had to stifled a laugh.
"What?"
"Nothing"
Nene glared at her but didn't said much, deciding to lay down on the floor to enjoy the show.
Lamy who was eating besides Polka and calmly munched her food before almost choking as she read the description Polka found.
While Nene enjoyed the show her two lovers tried not to laugh.
"Is someone going to turn on the lights?"
"Mmmm"
"I'll take it as a no"
They all three were huddled up in the couch with Nene being te one holding the other two, Lamy onto her arms and Polka pretty much buried onto her side.
"So, what's this?"
Lamy yawned.
"I don't know" she murmured while closing her eyes.
Omarun just let out another "Hm" not paying attention either as what was happening in the screen.
"We should probably get dinner soon"
Nene decided that her eyes too were feeling too heavy.
"Let’s nap first"
"Wamy, what do you think?"
"..."
"Wamy?"
Nene moved a bit, crawling her lover closer.
"I think she's asleep" it was barely a whisper.
"Mhm, good"
Nene really can’t remember more after the conversation.
Polkas hearing was the first thing to awaken, even before her brain and eyes knew what was going on.
"Shishiron~"
Her ears moved again, at the sound of Lamys sweet and kind-of pleading way to say their lovers name.
She usually used this tone of voice when she was feeling clingy or when she was being pampered.
And she absolutely loved to get pampered by Botan.
Not noticing anything out of the ordinary she decided to go back to sleep.
Wait... Botan was back.
More awake now Polka lifted her head just in time to watch Botan kiss Lamys forehead while the other was weakly trying to convince Botan to carry her.
"Mnn~ Shishiron"
"Hey Omarun"
Polka got a kiss too while she was still trying to wake up, Nene was still sleeping.
As Botan went to the kitchen Lamy started to try to get out off Nene embrace while Polka pondered how to get out of where she was.
"Mm wha?"
"Ah Nenechi, sorry"
"'S’ ok"
Polka squeezed Nene in a hug and got close to her ear.
"Shishirons back"
“Uh”
As Nene got more awake and made room for Polka to start trying to get up Lamy finally walked towards where the kitchen
Hugging her from behind she sighed while the lioness smiled slightly.
"I wanted to let you three sleep"
Lamy rubbed her head against her back.
"We missed you"
"Figured it" She giggled
"Nenechi good morning"
Nene grumbled while Polka was following behind her, having taken hold of Nenes shirt as if it were an anchor.
Both of them followed Lamys example and hugged Botan however they could.
"Welcome Back"
"Mhm"
"Thanks you two" she scoffed playfully.
She patted each of them on the head before attempting to walk towards the bathroom, but with three clingy girlfriends attached to her it was almost impossible, still she did her best and dragged a few good meters them while trying to reach the bathroom.
"Oi, let go"
"Noooooo~"
"I just want to use the bathroom, then I’ll go to bed"
Grumbling one by one the three detached from her, letting the lioness go do her business.
Polka yawned and stretched while they all decided to change their clothes for more comfortable and clean ones.
As they were finishing changing Botan entered the room in her sleep wear, even if it was winter she still chose to use just a bra and some shorts, how she didn't feel cold it was a mistery to them. (The room was usually warm, specially with 4 people sleeping in the same bed so that was probably the reason)
In any case Botan had always been the one to handle the cold the best.
Polka’s sleepwear consisted of a big t-shirt and shorts with long socks while Nene was sporting a full pyjama set leaving Lamy to be the last one, using a very long nightgown with sleeves.
Nene was the first one to lay down, pretty much launching herself onto the bed, lading with an "Oof"
"Nene please, you're going to break the bed"
“No I’m not”
“Yes you will”
Polka and Nene were at it again, their bickering accompanied by Botan’s belly laugh, something they had to admit missed hearing, deciding to put a stop to their little fight the lioness held the fennec by her waist before throwing both of them into the bed, being careful of not crushing Nene.
This caused Polka to let out a loud laugh and Lamy and Nene to giggled along.
It was good to be all together again.
Soon they accommodated with Botan in the middle, much to her protests, Nene on her left said with the back against wall, Lamy on her right being directly embraced by Botan and Polka at Lamy’s side, close to the edge of the bed.
While the elf happily buried herself into her taller lover and Nene spooned Botan from behind, burying her face into the other’s hair Polka embraced Lamy, holding the lioness hand that was free.
As they all started to drift off to sleep Polka remembered why Botan had been away for such a long time.
”Shishiron?”
Botan’s eyes shined in the dark, looking right at Polka from behind Lamy’s head sending a shudder down her spine.
“Hm?”
“How was it?”
“… Boring”
Polka scoffed slightly, both of them knew that wasn’t was she meant,
“Nothing serious, really”
The short girl moved a bit, accommodating but not letting go of Lamy nor Botan’s hand.
“You promise?”
It was barely a whisper and yet the sudden voice surprised Polka, Botan remained calm.
“Yes Nenechi, I promise”
Nene hugged her tighter.
“Okay”
“You’ll tell us in the morning right?”
Lamy.
“Of course I will, now is not the time, let’s sleep”
She kissed her forehead again and the elf just hummed.
“Okay”
Botan looked back at Omarun.
“Yes?”
Polka breathed and buried her face on Lamy’s hair, planting a light kiss on the back of her neck.
“Yes”
