The Direction of Fate, Yet Undecided

@ihaveforgortoomany screw you for making me feel sad >:( /lh

Jiu Niangzi found it cute, seeing the different ways her girlfriends awoke.

Spathodea either wakes up the bed, or she falls off and wakes up that way. She then stretches while yawning, before beginning her morning routine.

Meanwhile, Yenisei always seems to slip away without either of them noticing. On the very few cases where Jiu and Spath have seen her sleeping, she's utterly silent, and neither knows if she's awake or just keeping her eyes shut.

This morning, however, was different. Jiu was in the middle of the bed, Yenisei to her left, and Spathodea was on the right. Keyword being was, as a thump was heard, and a quiet groan of pain.

"Morning..." the boxer muttered, wobbly standing up. Jiu gave a wave, smiling.

"Good morning!" she turned to her left, expecting to see Yenisei gone--

--Yet, she was there, and her facial expression looked...

Spathodea walked over to the other side, examining her face. It was like when she's in pain from walking for so long, but trying to keep it together for everyone around her.

"Did she trip in the night?" Jiu asked.

"No... I think she's having a nightmare, but I've never seen anyone do that face before."

"How many people have you seen have nightmares?"

"Um..." Spathodea counted on her fingers. "Er, Ulu, my mum, my dad...?"

"...Oh! So more than me!" Jiu gave a thumbs up. "Then, you're an expert, right?"

"Er, no--"

"блять..."

The swear was quiet, but Jiu managed to pick it up. "Yeni--?"

"блять!" Yenisei shot up, eyes wide, her left hand immediately clutching at her stomach, breathing in and out rapidly. "О Боже мой--!"

"Yeni, Yeni!" Jiu's hand immediately went to hold Yenisei's other hand, the same speed that Spathodea's hands rested carefully above Yenisei's shoulders.

Yenisei's eyes went back and forth between the two of them. Gradually, her breathing slowed from rapid, panicked gasps to a more controlled, yet long breaths. "J-Jiu...? Spath?"

"That's us, Yenisei, don't worry," Spathodea still managed to crack a smile, azure eyes not unlike the waters Yenisei often bathes in. "Would you mind if I...?"

"...Mm." Yenisei's shoulders relaxed, and Spathodea's hands rested on them. "I thought I was..."

Jiu rubbed Yenisei's hand slowly. "Yeni, you don't need to... what's the word...? Oh! Force yourself! To, um. Tell us."

Even still, the Russian shook her head. "I-It'll be better if I did..." she breathed in, and out. "...Sonetto killed me."

Spathodea's hands froze, and Yenisei felt warmth beginning to spread from Spathodea's hands. "I-I'm fine, though. No wound, just..."

She sighed. "...Sorry."

"For what, Yeni?" Jiu tilted her head the other way. "You had a nightmare! Everyone gets them! Like me, I had one the other day! And Spath, she had one two days ago!"

"I--!" Spathodea sighed as well, but only because she couldn't think of a reply. "...Just... relax, okay?'

"...I'll try. Thank you both." Yenisei gave them both a smile. A small one, but one nonetheless.

Jiu returned it. "Always!"

Spathodea also returned it. "Any time!"

(It was said, later one, that Sonetto felt a scolding hot glare later that day. She never found out who it was who did it.)
