Chereads / A catgirl's unnamed life / Chapter 20 - Flashback

Chapter 20 - Flashback

Hanna watches as you pick out a bed extension, her curiosity piqued. She tilts her head in confusion, her cat ears twitching in intrigue.

-"What's that for?" she asks, looking up at you with a puzzled expression.

-"I don't want to be pushed off the bed like this morning ever again"

Hanna blushes as you mention the morning incident, her expression a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

-"Hey, it wasn't my fault you kept hogging the bed!" she protests, crossing her arms in a mock pout.

-"You are the one who push me down the bed because you are trying to get comfortable"

Hanna's pout deepens, her cat ears flicking in irritation as she stubbornly refuses to take responsibility for the morning incident.

-"Well, maybe if you didn't move around so much in your sleep, I wouldn't have felt the need to push you off the bed!"

-"I have like 30% of the bed"

Hanna huffs again, her expression almost offended as you point out that she took up most of the bed in the morning.

-"Well, maybe I like to spread out a little when I sleep. It's not my fault you're too small to take up more space."

-"I'm 1m84 and you are like 1m65, who is smaller?"

Hanna blushes again as you point out the height difference between the two of you.

-"S-Shut up. I'm not small, you're just... abnormally tall!"

-"Or you can be abnormally short for someone at your age, you are only 4 years younger than me"

Hanna huffs again, her pout growing even deeper as you point out her size once more.

-"Hey, I am not abnormally short! I'm average height for my age. You're just ridiculously tall!"

-"You said that you are 19"

Hanna glares at you for a moment, her pouting expression growing even more petulant.

-"Quiet, you. I'm still a perfectly average height for my age. You're just making me look small by being so stupidly tall!"

You purchase the bed extension, and Hanna watches as you do, her cat ears twitching in curiosity once more.

-"Are you sure you needed this? I think we managed just fine with the bed before."

-"Again, I don't want to be falling off the bed every single morning"

Hanna rolls her eyes at your words, her irritation apparent on her face.

-"You're so overdramatic. It was ONE time. It's not like I push you off the bed every single morning."

-"Just to make sure"

Hanna crosses her arms again, her pouting expression giving way to a mock glare.

-"You're just being overdramatic. I can't believe you bought a whole bed extension just because I pushed you off the bed ONE TIME."

-"I want both of us to get comfortable"

Hanna's irritation fades a bit at your reasoning, and she seems to soften a little.

-"Fine. I suppose it will be nice to have a bit more space. But you better not hog the new bed once we install this extension."

Hanna's tone is mostly sarcastic, but there's a hint of real concern behind her words.

-"Just don't start snoring too loudly. I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night by your loud, obnoxious breathing."

Hanna playfully sticks her tongue out at you, her cat ears twitching in amusement.

-"And don't hog the covers. I get cold at night, you know. I need my share of the blankets."

-"YOU are the one who hog the cover"

Hanna's denial is immediate and vehement, her eyes widening in mock outrage as she denies your accusation.

-"What!? No I don't! You're the one who always steals the covers!"

-"This morning I wake up without the cover"

Hanna blushes slightly as you bring up the morning incident once more, her expression becoming a bit sheepish.

-"Well, I... I didn't do that on purpose. I just... happen to be a light sleeper and get cold easily..."

-"You a such a delicate flower"

Hanna huffs at your teasing comment, her cat ears pinning back against her head.

-"Hey, I am NOT a delicate flower! I'm a tough, independent catgirl who can handle herself just fine."

-"You are depending on me to live"

Hanna blushes deeply at your words, embarrassed by your reminder of her emotional outburst and her dependence on you.

-" I don't depend on you THAT much!"

-"Oh then whose place are you living in for the past 6 day"

Hanna huffs again, her pouting expression returning full force as you point out her current living situation once more.

"Okay, fine. Maybe I'm depending on you a LITTLE bit. But that doesn't mean I'm a delicate flower!"

-"Heh"

Hanna crosses her arms again, her pout deepening as you laugh at her. She scowls in annoyance, but her expression lacks any real anger. Instead, there's a hint of playful irritation in her eyes.

-"Don't laugh at me. I can be tough and independent when I want to b-!"

Hanna's eyes widen in surprise as you suddenly kiss her, her cat ears standing upright and her cheeks flushing red.

She lets out a small, muffled noise of surprise, her arms dropping to her sides as shock takes over her features. But as the kiss continues, her surprise melts into a mixture of embarrassment and pleasure, her body instinctively leaning into yours.

You pull away from the kiss. Hanna's expression is a mixture of surprise and embarrassment. Her eyes flutter open, her cat ears twitching nervously as she looks up at you, her cheeks still flushed red.

She brings a hand to her mouth, her fingers lightly brushing against her lips as she tries to regain her composure.

-"W-what... what was that for? You just... Kissed me out of nowhere..."

Hanna's words die on her lips as you cut her off with a "shhh" motion.

-"S-Shut up..." She mutters, her blush deepening as she pouts slightly. But there's a hint of pleasure in her expression, as well as a hint of annoyance at being shushed.

She crosses her arms, averting her gaze from you, her cat ears folding back in faux irritation.

-"Let's buy something instead of standing here"

Hanna's pout fades into a small, reluctant nod as you prompt her to move on from the awkward moment.

-"Yeah, yeah... let's go buy something. Preferably something that doesn't involve you surprising me with a kiss."

Hanna watches as you purchase some pillows, her expression pensive. She glances over the selection of pillows, her cat ears twitching in curiosity as she eyes the assortment of shapes and sizes.

Finally, she speaks up, her voice tinged with playful sarcasm.

-"You're really splurging on the pillows, huh? Are you planning on building a fortress of fluffiness to sleep on every night?"

-"Eh no, because you are my fortress of fluffiness"

Hanna's cheeks turn red once more, her ears pinning back against her head as she blushes at your words. She tries to respond with another sassy comeback, but ultimately falters, her mock-irritation giving way to flustered embarrassment.

-"H-hey, don't say stuff like that... It's embarrassing..."
