“The nerve of who, love?” Michiru asked, as she pulled the young blond into a warm embrace that quickly diffused most of her anger.
“One of the mechanics voiced the opinion that I was too butch to be a real women and that the only way I’d ever get a man was by trapping him.” Haruka growled out the last bit, angry at some grease monkey for insulting her femininity, despite her complete lack of interest in catching a man.
“You know what? I can actually see you doing that.” Michiru responded evenly, a glint of mischief in her eyes.
“What? Not you too!” Haruka replied, pulling back from her lover.
“Well he does have a point.” Michiru said struggling to keep a straight face. “I can just picture you building an elaborate trap and lurking in the bushes, wearing camouflage, waiting for some poor hapless male to arrive so you could net him.”
Haruka’s frown broke as she began to snicker, before breaking out in a full fledged belly laugh and throwing herself down on the couch. “Well you have to admit it’d be a lot more effective then the Inners various attempts to snare one. “
“I know.” Michiru agreed with her girlfriend. “I don’t know why Makoto has such trouble though. She cooks a mean bento and they say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”
Haruka snorted “Try aiming a little further south. She’d have better luck if she tried a G-String and pasties along with the food. Trust me on this. I know guys and the only way you can get to their heart through their stomach is with a chainsaw.”
Michiru gave a soundless mew of distaste, before responding. “ And what would you do with a guy anyway?”
“Oh, I can think of a few things.” Haruka said with a leer that shocked Michiru.
“For instance…” Michiru trailed off, not sure she wanted to open this unexpected can of worms.
“Landscaping and vehicle maintenance.” Haruka fired back with a smirk, mentally tallying herself a point in retribution for her lover’s earlier comment.
“But Haruka-Poppa,” Hotaru spoke up, reminding them she was in the room “You do all the vehicle maintenance for us.”
“She also trims bushes like a pro.” Michiru murmured with a small grin.
“Then I guess we don’t need a man around here, do we?” Haruka said.
“Not unless Setsuna or Hotaru bring one home.” Michiru replied as she snuggled up to her girlfriend on the couch.
Hotaru perked up at her Michiru’s comment . ‘I’m allowed to date?’
The possibility of a friend drew her in more then the romantic aspect. From what she had overheard from the girls in her class, it was like having a best friend who would hug you at odd moments.
This had possibilities…
Hotaru went off to play, leaving her adopted parents to discuss the finer points of gardening.
‘Who knew they were so concerned about lawn care?’
