They were both at the library picking out books and manga to read.

On their way home, Natsuki and Yuri thought they'd stop by to see what they had. They had been doing this for weeks now. They showed each other good series they thought the other would love.

So far, they were on point.

Yuri found some manga on her own and thought she'd give it a shot. The same went for Natsuki; she found some books that she'd give a shot by herself.

Currently, Yuri was reading Pupa. Natsuki remembered seeing it sometime before and suggested it to her, thinking she'd like it just from the look of it. She never read it herself, though, so she couldn't say if she liked it or not.

Yuri was almost done with Pupa, being on the last volume of the series. She wanted to find another one before she finished it sometime later that week.

Natsuki, on the other hand, was reading Warrior Cats. Yuri recommended it to her, knowing she'd love it. It definitely caught her interest when she showed it to her. So far, she was halfway through The Prophecies Begin arc.

It was only a few weeks since they started doing this, but it was Natsuki's favorite book series so far. She didn't need to read anything new at the moment so she was helping Yuri out this time around.

Warrior Cats wasn't something she'd normally enjoy, considering how many characters died in it, but she actually liked the story of it.

They were having fun being in the library. Being in each other's company was something that they both enjoyed.

Natsuki took deep breaths as she looked in Yuri's direction.

A question was on her mind and she had been meaning to ask it for awhile now. The small girl was afraid of asking the question. She shouldn't have been. They had been together for some time now, it shouldn't make her feel scared to ask.

After looking through the bottom section of a certain genre, she stood up. Now should be a good time to ask her. She walked over to her and Yuri looked at her.

"Hey, Natsuki, did you find anything?" She quietly asked.

"Haven't found anything you would like so far." Natsuki answered. "You having any luck?"

"I found a couple." Yuri replied.

"Yeah..." She said, getting lost in her mind.

Yuri noticed this and asked, "Natsuki, are you okay?"

Natsuki snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Yuri in the eyes.

"Yuri, this may sound stupid to ask, but... Can I move in with you?" Natsuki asked nervously and looked the other way.

The taller woman blinked a few times. She wasn't expecting a question like that. She didn't think it was a bad question at all, but it caught her by surprise. Yuri thought it was too soon, only starting their relationship a couple of weeks ago, but she wasn't going to deny it.

She wouldn't mind living with her. It did get lonely at times, living by herself and all.

Natsuki looked away, already feeling regretful of her decision to ask such a question.

"For- Forget what I just said. It was stupid to ask, it seems." Natsuki said, beginning to walk away.

She was stopped dead in her tracks when Yuri instinctly grabbed her wrist. She wasn't thinking when she did so. Noticing what she did, she quickly released her wrist and fiddled with her hair with one hand. She tried to make sure the manga stayed in her hand.

"I'm- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that..." She apologized as she was looking away. "You- You can li- live with me. It just, it just caught me off guard. Tha- That's all."

Unknowingly, Natsuki released a breath she didn't know she held in relief. She walked up to her and put her hand on Yuri's shoulder.

"Don't worry about it." She quietly said, regarding the wrist grabbing. "And... Thanks."

She took her hand off of Yuri's shoulder. Her mind began to wander, though, wanting to know why she seemed so nervous asking so.

Yuri decided not to ask. The reason why could make her feel uncomfortable and it could be something she didn't want to speak about. Because of this, she put it aside.

If there was something wrong, she decided to let her tell her at her own pace. There wasn't any need to pressure her. No need to rush her.

She hoped there wasn't anything bad happening in her home, though.

"Do you have everything packed, or uh... Or not yet?" She asked.

"All I'm gonna need are my clothes and my books and manga." Natsuki answered. "I already have my clothes in my backpack, so all we need are to bring my books and manga to your house and we'll be good."

She nodded as she grabbed a manga and turned it. She began to read the summary on the back. It appeared interesting, so she decided to get it.

Questions began to invade her mind, though.

"Wa- Wait a second, what if I'm not the best person to live with? What if I don't make you feel comfortable enough? What if-"

"Yuri, you're overthinking it again." She said interrupting.

Yuri looked at her for a few seconds and then towards the ground. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Once she felt relaxed and her thoughts were calm, she opened her eyes.

Natsuki looked at the time. "Anyways, are you done looking?"

"I, uh..." Yuri checked what she got, see if there were anything she needed to put back. "Yes, I believe I'm finished. Let's go and get your stuff."

Natsuki smiled. They did what they needed to do and headed outside.

The two women walked over to the school up to the literature club. All of Natsuki's manga were in the closet. There wasn't too much, so it didn't necessitate their making several trips. Both of them had to carry some box sets, though, seeing as there was quite a bit.

Natsuki reached up to grab one of the box sets. She couldn't grab it, and even being on her toes wouldn't help. She began grumbling. It wasn't set up that high before the two left.

Somebody must've moved it there, again.

She walked off to get a chair to stand on. Natsuki picked up one of the chairs in the club room and walked back.

When she got there, Yuri turned around to show she already got the box set for her.

"Don't worry, I got it down for you." She reassured in a soft, calm voice.

Natsuki turned around and put the chair back. She went back to the closet and got whatever she could grab. Yuri got whatever Natsuki wasn't able to reach.

They made sure they got everything and left the room. Carefully, they walked down the stairs with the stuff in hands.

Natsuki tripped and fell down the stairs. The manga and books flew out of her arms as she fell and landed on her ass. She hissed in pain. Yuri carefully, but quickly, got down to her and helped her get up.

"Are- Are you okay, Natsuki?" Yuri asked in concern.

"Yeah, I think so." Natsuki said rubbing her ass gently.

If she was anymore in pain, she would've shed a tear. She had high pain tolerance, so seeing and hearing her hiss made Yuri worry.

Natsuki got up and picked everything she dropped.

They continued going down the stairs, but they did so more carefully. Neither one wanted the other to trip. The two got to the first floor safely.

Yuri opened the door for them both and let Natsuki walk through first.

They then began walking to Yuri's house.

Natsuki and Yuri talked about what they were reading. As they spoke, they made some jokes here and there. Natsuki laughed at the quips.

Yuri smiled, seeing how happy she was. That was the only thing she cared about, seeing her have a good time.

Her laughter was interrupted by stomach growls.

Natsuki's face became red while Yuri quietly laughed.

"I can make us some food when we get home." Yuri reassured.

Natsuki nodded and looked ahead. She began to wonder what she was gonna make. Yakitori maybe? Okonomiyaki? Whatever it was, she couldn't wait to see what Yuri was going to make.

She heard of her being a very good cook before, but never actually tried anything she made besides tea. It was something she looked forwards to. That, and she was extremely hungry herself, of course.

A few minutes later, they walked up to the front door.

Yuri reached into her pockets, getting her keys. She got them out and began to unlock the door. Hearing it unlock, she opened the door and went inside.

Yuri took her shoes off with her feet. Then she began to walk over to the coffee table to put the stuff down. She then took a seat to relax for a few. Natsuki put her things next to the other books and manga.

She then walked to the stairs, ready to put her foot on the first step. Natsuki looked at Yuri before she went up.

"I'm going to take a shower." Natsuki said. "Oh, and don't ask me what I want to eat. Just surprise me with whatever you're going to make."

"Alright," Yuri replied.

Natsuki went upstairs into the bathroom. She walked down the hallway. There were a few portraits of her with her mother. Yuri looked so much like her mother. The mom had darker skin and her hair was up to her shoulders. Her hair was wavy and of a burgundy color. Her hair in the front was pushed back, so it looked like she didn't have bangs.

Now she knew where she got her eyes from, though, looking at the mother's eyes.

There were no pictures of her with her dad, though. It didn't look like she had a father. Her guess was that he either died, the parents were divorced, or he wasn't there for them to begin with.

Hopefully those weren't any of the cases at all.

She looked really young in the pictures, estimating her age in them to be about ten to twelve years old. She could be entirely wrong, though.

All of the portraits had a golden frame. Not a single one of them had a different colored frame. Not silver, not brown, not black, no other color but a golden yellow.

She would assume that her family was rich. It might not be the case, though. Natsuki did think Yuri in general was a little fancy, after all. She just hoped her parents were nothing like her dad. They most likely weren't, though, which was good.

Natsuki never really had the chance to look at everything the last time she was there. Glad she was able to do so now as she walked to the bathroom.

She walked down to the end of the hallway. Natsuki opened the bathroom door and walked in. Putting her hand on the wall, she looked for the light switch and turned the lights on.

Every area of the room was illuminated with a blue tinted light.

The walls were a plum purple and the floor was porcelain white. The shower curtains were a rosewood pink with terra cotta red floral designs on it.

'God, even the bathroom is fancy looking.' Natsuki thought.

She saw two towels, an amethyst purple towel and a baby pink towel. She immediately assumed the pink one was hers. It looked like she had thought ahead of time, in case she was going to stay for the weekend or longer.

She put the backpack down, opened it, and took out the clothes she was gonna wear. She put them on the toilet seat.

Natsuki then turned the water on, making sure it wasn't too hot or too cold. She took off her clothes and jumped right in.

Natsuki took a step out of the shower and grabbed a light pink towel.

She dried her body off first and then her hair. She put her clothes on and began looking for a hairdryer. It didn't take her too long to find it. Once she found it, she plugged it in and blow-dried her hair until it didn't feel wet anymore.

When she was done, she put the hairdryer back where she found it. She put the clothes she previously wore into the laundry basket next to the sink.

She walked out and put her backpack in Yuri's room. After that she proceeded to walk downstairs.

The smell of food filled her nose. A large smile could be seen on her face. It smelled amazing and it made her want to eat the food as soon as she possibly could. She walked up to the doorway into the kitchen.

She could hear some music playing and Yuri was humming with it.

Natsuki couldn't identify the artist, but she assumed the song was called 'Tiny Pieces'. Then again, she was never good at knowing what songs were called. Usually she needed someone to tell her what the song's title was.

It didn't really sound like an artist she would listen to. They sounded nice, yeah, but lyrically it felt like it wasn't really her. Maybe their other songs would work, but not this one.

Yuri was enjoying herself making their food.

It already looked like she was almost finished with it. Mentally, she questioned how long she had been upstairs. Her guess would be almost an hour, taking her time with everything and all.

Natsuki's stomach began to growl again seeing the food. Yuri noticed she was standing there, seeing that she was finished with her shower.

"Oh, hey Natsuki." She greeted.

Natsuki walked inside the kitchen. She saw she was cutting the cooked meat into three pieces, and then cutting in between the cut pieces.

"That looks really good!" Natsuki complimented.

"Thank you. I just... Hope you enjoy eating it." Yuri said.

The knife she was using had animal designs on the handle. The animals were dolphins from the look of it.

When she was done cutting, she put the knife to the side. She grabbed Natsuki's plate and gave it to her before she sat down to eat her own food.

She turned the Ghost Town music off before she started eating.

Natsuki sat down and started eating. Her face lit up in delight as she tasted the food in her mouth. It was the best thing she had ever eaten. They weren't wrong when they said Yuri was an amazing cook.

"This is amazing! This had to be the best thing I've ever eaten!" Natsuki said.

Yuri's hid her face in her hair. She wasn't sure how to respond to that.

"I can't- I can't be that good of a cook." Yuri said modestly.

"You are! If I had to choose anybody else's food or yours, I would choose yours any day!" She complimented.

"Natsuki, you're just- you're just saying that!" The taller girl stuttered, now hiding her face with her hands.

"Hell no I'm not! It's the best, I promise you that." She said before stuffing her face with food.

Yuri removed her hands from her face. She saw how happy Natsuki was. Seeing that caused her mouth to curl into a small smirk. She continued eating, as she couldn't let her food get cold.

After they were done eating, they put the plates in the sink and went to the living room. They sat down onto the couch. Both decided to read a book together, so Natsuki took the first Warrior Cats book and they started reading it together.

Natsuki could tell that living with Yuri was the best decision she could ever make, so far.

A/N: I apologize if anybody's out of character, I'm trying my best with that. Honestly I just want Natsuki to get out of that house as possible like screw her dad, man. She needs to be out and free and all that good stuff. And I wanted to do another Natsuri fanfic, so I thought why not kill two birds with one stone?

I don't really read books, just comics and manga, so I had to go to my friend for help on what books she could suggest. Warrior Cats doesn't seem exactly like something Natsuki would read, but she'd probably like it anyways despite like all the deaths she told me about.
