![]() ![]() Hearing this both concerned and intrigued Ryuko. “I ‘spose I’ve just been thinking about stuff. I’m surprised I’m not asleep yet, too,” She chuckled lightly. “I don’t think I’ll ever get over having a bed as nice as this, though. “Hey, Ryuko-chan, you still up?” Mako’s voice surprised her her bed had been still, so she had thought her to already be asleep. Maybe it was too early? No, this was the time they usually went to sleep. She sighed usually she didn’t have such trouble falling asleep. After about ten minutes, she resolved to lie on her back and stare up at the mattress above her, trying to clear her mind of all the things that occupied it. In the bunk below, Ryuko lay tossing and turning intermittently, trying to get to sleep. “Goodnight, Ryuko-chan,” She returned, wiggling a bit and getting cozy under her own sheets. The dark-haired girl did so, and then slid under her covers and spoke in a soft voice, “Goodnight, Mako.” She sat there, watching Ryuko do the last few buttons to her pajama top, waiting for her to turn out the light and get into her own bed, which was the nightly ritual. The brunette had finished changing and was up in her bed –the top bunk. Besides, wearing Senketsu all the time had to have conditioned her to the looks she received at least a little, Mako figured silently. She blushed a little, sure, but didn’t seem disturbed. She would be lying if she said she didn’t purposefully steal a few looks at Ryuko when she did the same (she noticed that she dressed herself almost unsurely), but she didn’t seem to be uncomfortable at all when she noticed Mako taking said glances. Mako, on the other hand, had actually caught her looking a few times, but wasn’t bothered by it at all. She wondered if Mako knew how pretty she was. She thought her friend to be gorgeous, and ever since she came to that conclusion she found herself slightly nervous around her, but not enough for it to impact their friendship, thank goodness. It was like this every time, Mako’s body would catch her eye, she’d find herself looking, and then she’d look away, trying in vain not to blush and hoping Mako didn’t see her stare. She would say she was trying to do it inconspicuously, but the truth was she wasn’t actively trying to do it at all. Still, Ryuko couldn’t help but glance at her a few times while she got undressed. Ever since they began sharing a room, she would change right in front of Ryuko, likely because they were both girls. Mako finished first, all her sparkly notebooks and bunny pencils back in her bag, and then stood up to change into her nightgown. They both began packing up their schoolwork quietly. Usually, Ryuko couldn’t care less about her grades (especially at a school like this), but now that they were moving up in rank, she wanted to make them at least decent to match the reputation. “Ah, you’re right.” Mako’s reminder caused instant stress relief she had forgotten it was Friday. “We can try again tomorrow! It is the weekend, after all.” It’s getting kinda late anyway, we should probably go to bed.” She smiled. The brunette sat up, wearing a sympathetic expression. ![]() There’s no way we’re getting this done tonight.” She put the paper down and crossed her arms. “Alright, that’s it,” Ryuko spoke suddenly, catching Mako’s attention. Ryuko was staring at a math problem with a slightly frustrated expression, and Mako was lying on her back, staring at the ceiling. They had been at it for a few hours now, hardly making any progress as they mainly had been goofing off. The both of them were sitting in the middle of their bedroom floor, various schoolwork scattered about. They were both ecstatic about having their own space, which, at the moment, they were using to attempt the aforementioned homework. Currently, they were in their new two-star home, the one the two of them had used the fight club to earn. The two girls took almost all the same classes (largely coincidentally), so they often did their homework together. There was not much to be said about the shared academic capacity between both Ryuko and Mako.
