Episode 6

"No!" Hana shouts at Rose with a glare. "It's not for you!"

Lena groans, sitting up from her bed from the ruckus heard outside her—and now Hana's room. She wipes at her eyes before getting out of bed and heading out into the kitchen to see what was the shouting all about. There Lena sees a pouting Rose and Lena giving her a stink eye with a spatula raised up as if she was going to hit the other woman with it. 

"What's going on?" Lena's raspy voice asks before letting out a yawn.

Hana turned her attention to the girl and her eyes shined. "Good morning Lena!" She says with the biggest gummy smile ever. "I was trying to cook you food before you wake up, but Rose keeps trying to steal the food!"

"Oh come on!" Rose whines. "I want food, too!"

"I heard food?" Ellie says appearing behind the doorframe.

"Hana is only cooking for Lena!" Rose explains to her other roommate.

Ellie clicks her tongue. "Wow, what a wife."

Lena sighs, running her hand through her hair. To have the three women argue already early in the morning slightly got on her nerves, especially when she likes her mornings calm and quiet. She walked towards Hana's side before grabbing the very 'dangerous' spatula. "I'll cook." She says.

"B-but!" Hana stutters.

"No buts." Lena says. "I'll cook for everyone all right? You can go sit and watch me if you want." Hana continued to pout sadly knowing she won't have her favorite person eat her cooking.

"But you didn't eat the food I made yesterday." Hana explains.

"I promise to try your food some time, okay?" Lena replies, pecking the tiny girl's forehead. Hana instantly blushed before nodding vigorously, surprised at the sudden contact. Heck, Rose and Ellie were also stunned.

"The hell was that." Ellie says to Rose.

"Ugh, couple shenanigans." Rose responded. "Let's go to the living room. I ain't in the mood to watch the two flirt." Ellie agrees and follows her friend into the living room to watch some television. 

As Lena had her back to Hana, cooking more portions of what seemed to be fried rice, Hana couldn't help but feel bored. "Hey, Lena..." She calls out softly. Hearing her name, Lena hums in response. When Hana didn't continue to speak, Lena grew confused. Before she could turn around, she felt arms go around her torso, almost making her throw the spatula in surprise. 

Looking over her shoulder, Lena sees Hana with her face against her back, digging her face into the back of her shirt. Hana then took a deep breath in and out before looking up, giving Lena a giggly smile. "I love you!" She says. 

Lena's face immediately flushed at the random confession. She turns around coughing onto the back of her hand before going to stir the fried rice. "I l-love you, t-too." She stuttered. 

Last night after they kissed, it wasn't awkward. In fact, Hana made it not awkward. She had a bright and bubbly smile after and told Lena that she really loves her and will do anything to make her happy. Whoever made Hana Yumeko into a real life person, Lena couldn't help but feel blessed by such offering. 

Hana giggles before hiding her face onto Lena's back once more, her eyes popping over her shoulder to watch as Lena continued to cook for everyone. "What're you doing today?" She curiously asks. 

"Nothing really." Lena says. It was now Saturday and there was no classes. "Why, did you want to do anything?" 

Hana thinks to herself. "Well, not really. By the way, you seem very close with your friends. It made me a little jealous because we don't have that kind of bond yet." She says with a baby-like pout. Lena chuckled to herself thinking how cute it was for the woman . 

"There is nothing to worry about okay?" Lena responded. "The girls would never do anything towards me like that, and plus they seem to be very fond of you already. It was hard for them to digest the fact that you are actually real, but the moment they came to understand, they treated you just the way they treat any other. So don't feel insecure with my interactions with them. It'll never be the same as the way I interact with you, okay?" 

Hana nodded her head rapidly with her lips curved up in a wide smile. "Okay! I trust you Lena, I always will!" Lena couldn't help but giggle before turning back to face forward and continue cooking or else the food would burn. By the time Lena finished cooking, she had made an omelet, fried rice, and bacon. "Ellie! Rose! Time to eat!" She shouts. Immediately her and Hana heard running as the two women said had ran quickly to the kitchen. 

"Finally!" Ellie shouts. "I almost came in here and ate everything if you weren't going to finish any time soon." 

Lena had already prepared the rice beforehand with the help of Hana and Hana had happily set-up the table for them and the two roommates to eat. As the four woman continue to eat, Ellie suddenly asked a question, catching their attention. 

"Should we enroll Hana into our school?" She suggests. "She can't be coped up here for the rest of her life and I'm sure that she would want to come with us, too instead of being here every weekday while we are in classes." 

Lena looks at Hana to see her enjoying her food. "Hana." She called out. Hearing her name the woman looks at her with her mouth stuffer with rice and omelet. "Do you want to start attending our school with us?" 

Hana chewed and swallowed her food first before answering. "If it means I get to spend more time with you, then yes!" She answered. Ellie immediately gags at her answer. 

"Not this couple shenanigan again." Rose says before eating up her rice. 

"All right, well I guess when we get back to school, I'll go to the office and have you enrolled." Lena says with a toothless smile. 

When the girls finished eating, both Ellie and Rose decided to clean up and wash dishes in return for Lena cooking and Hana preparing the table. Leading Hana the the living room, Lena felt a poke at her back. She turns around to look at the Japanese woman to see her smiling wide.  

"Lena." 

"Yes?" Lena replies back. 

"Rose taught me a word earlier, but I don't know what it means." Hana says. 

"Well what did she teach you?" Lena asked. 

"Well, she taught me how to say 'I love you' in a different language!" Hana said cheerfully. 

Lena chuckles as they both go to sit on the couch. "What language?" She asked with a big smile, her eyes being very attentive to the woman sitting besides her.  

"Spanish apparently." 

"Well how do you say it?"

"Puta!" Hana says confidently. Lena's smile goes away immediately before she goes to kneel in front of the wooden table in front of the couch and slams her head onto it. Hana looks at the woman in surprised as she suddenly gasps at Lena's sudden actions. 

"Lena! What are you doing?!" Hana says worriedly before going to Lena's side. Instantly, Lena's head shoots back up, making Hana move back. She watches Lena get up before wiping down at her clothes. 

"I'll be right back." She says before walking to the kitchen where Ellie and Rose were at still finishing the dishes. 

"Oh hey Lena I- ACCK!" Hana heard Rose shout. "AHHHGGHGHHH!?" 

Hana just didn't understand. 

All she did was tell Lena she loved her.
