ice cream and pets...

Berry sleeps for an hour and wakes up. She yawns and stretches.

I sigh as Berry wakes up quickly. "Why are you awake?" I ask, chuckling, "Well, if you're not gonna fall asleep, I will." With this being said, I merely close my eyes, for now.

Berry blinks and blushes deeply as she looks at Edo. She bites her lip and pouts slightly hearing that he was going to sleep. She huffs lightly and cuddles to him unable to stay upset.

I giggle as I hear Berry pout. I turn over to her as she cuddles up to me, and rest my hand on her cheek. "I love you, Berry." I confess before kissing her gently on the lips, then falling asleep.

Berry blushes deeply and kisses him back. She smiles warmly as she watches him fall asleep. She closes her eyes as she hugs him tightly. "I love you too Edo.."

I could feel how warm Berry was, and it felt really nice. However, it disappointed me as to how much sleep I was getting recently. It was too much, and I felt like we weren't doing much everyday. Albeit, it was still good to know I always had someone to join and rely on, which made me smile on the outside.

Berry wakes up a little later that day. She looks at her phone and smiles. She shakes Edo and giggles "Edo wake up I want to tell you something.." She looks at him excitedly.

I get up and stretch as I hear Berry's voice. "What is it, Berry?" I ask, smiling weakly as I am just waking up. My smile gets brighter as I see how excited Berry is. I nuzzle her and wrap my arms around her waist. "Did something nice happen to you again?" I add.

Berry giggles and nods her head "yes! The cafe is going on a trip to the hot springs! They said I could bring a friend.. Would you like to come Edo?"

"Sure!" I reply, smiling warmly towards Berry. However, then I think about the conditions of going inside hot springs. "Will they have gender restrictions?" I ask, "Or is it for both?" I blush as I might have just sent perverted thoughts to Berry. "Not like I wanna see you in that way, though I'd really appreciate your company."

Berry blinks and tilts her head. "hold on.." She pulls out her phone and reads the message again. She blushes lightly "it looks like is for both.."

"Oh, that's good!" I smile brightly. I hold Berry's hand and kiss her on the cheek. "I suppose we should pack some clothes up then." I suggest.

Berry blushes and nods her head "yeah that sounds good.." She bites her lip as she thinks "uh Edo what do you take to a hot springs? I've never been to one.." She blushes deeply and looks at the ground.

"Well..." I think, "In a hot springs, there of course is the large body of steamy water, though you're supposed to wear clothes in it." I blush as I say this. "If there's a pool, you can bring your swimsuit." I start to get better at describing the area as I talk more. "Hot springs are for privacy, and are Japan-originated, hence you don't wear anything." I look to Berry blushing more now. "There's a mini hotel room there, and despite how uncomfortable it may sound now, it's actually really fun!" I turn away afterwards. I continued thinking I was sounding like a pervert.

Berry blushes deeply and giggles "so we don't wear kimonos in the hot springs? that's good I thought it was weird to wear a big dress in water.." She blinks and looks at Edo "so we.. We don't wear anything when we go to hot spring Edo?"

"No, but you can if you want." I comment, "And if you do, I will too." I look embarrassed, tilting my head down as this conversation didn't seem very comforting, though after sighing, a smile appears on my face. "Let's not be worried about being naked or in swimsuits, and just have fun, okay?" I add, "I'm not one to be perverted, anyways, and I just wanna see you happy." My smile gets brighter while I reach to hug Berry tightly.

Berry blushes deeply and smiles. She hugs him back and giggles. "alright Edo! Let's have a bunch of fun!"

"So when do we go?" I ask, "Oh, and by the way, I'm gonna bring a swimsuit just so you don't feel uncomfortable, okay?" I was a bit excited to leave as soon as possible. It had been a while since we went on a trip like this, after all.

Berry smiles "we go later this evening.." She walks to her room and starts to pack a small bag with snacks, a kimono, and some extra clothes. She pokes her head out "alright if you bring one I'll bring one if you want Edo.."

"You're making things so difficult..." I comment jokingly, packing and laughing softly after hearing Berry's words. I pack two swimsuits, fitness clothing, sports clothing, and other sorts of attire. After this, I lie down on the living room couch, and relax.

Berry blinks and looks at him. She hops on him after he lays down. "how am I making things difficult Edo? Do you not want me to bring a swim suit?" She tilts her head.

"I was joking!" I comment, "I don't think we should debate about bringing a swimsuit. Let's just bring one or two each, then decide if we should wear them when we're in the hot springs, okay?" I look at Berry and cup her cheek in my hand while staring into her eyes, blushing slightly. "I'm sorry for bringing this topic up." I confess to Berry before kissing her gently on the lips, "As long as we're having fun, that's all that matters, right?"

Berry nods her head "alright Edo.." She blushes lightly and looks back into his eyes. She kisses him back and smiles gently at him "yeah..." She giggles softly and nuzzles him "that's right.."

I was glad Berry understood me. As she nuzzles me, I nuzzle her, as well. "So what do you wanna do while we're there?" I ask, "Are we gonna stay there overnight, or come back?" I ask all these questions due to the fact that it's my first time going to a hot spring.

Berry looks at him "well the cafe paid for three days.. I heard they had a nice hiking place.. We could hike one day.. I'm sure there's other stuff we can do too.." She giggles and smiles "any other questions Edo?"
