---

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura walks in through the front door of her new home. The real estate agent was all too eager to get rid of it, though the history of the house was as mysterious as it was terrible. When other buyers heard it, they thought that the strings of suicides and mysterious deaths were the cause of some curse or ghost. When Homura heard those same stories, her first thought was 'Witch'.

    The way her eyes lit up might have seemed disturbing to someone who didn't know she was hoping to get a Grief Seed out of the deal. The seller was eager to get rid of it, but they couldn't help but ask if Homura had an interest in the occult or something. Homura only shook her head, said that she didn't anticipate any further problems, and was quite insistent on the sale.

    So Homura now has this very nice house, at huge discount, and her first Grief Seed since Walpurgisnacht. It even comes will furnished, though Homura will be rearranging things in the near future to suit her own needs.

    She walks through the garage, which is empty and will probably stay that way unless she has guests over, and walks up the stairs that eventually lead to her new living room. She takes a seat on a long couch, looking out over what is now her new terrace. Well, one of her new terraces anyways.

    She lets out a long, heavy, tired sigh. The last few days have been rough, and while some of her troubles are over, she has a few new ones to worry about.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    When Madoka got a message from Homura saying she was going to buy the house she was looking at she cheered for her and sent a message back if she could come over and see it for herself, though she had a couple of errands to run first.

    It's a bit more than an hour later when she finally shows up, fumbling around a bit outside before finding the proper entrance and it's doorbell. "Homura-chan, it's me!" she calls out, loud enough to be heard from inside unless the soundproofing on the house is especially good. She is rocking back and forth on her feet with a smile on her face and clearly in a good mood.

    Both of her hands are held behind her back, holding onto the straps of an environmentally conscious cloth shopping bag. It's fairly large and obviously has something in it, though just how much is hard to tell. She giggles a little while she waits, "Hehehe..!"

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura Akemi texted back that of course Madoka could come over and that Homura would be waiting for her. So Homura did wait, and eagerly, lazily laying on her couch while her feet kick over the edge. The time girl could wait forever for Madoka, but that doesn't mean she isn't be excited about it.

    When Homura hears the doorbell, she immediately jumps out of the couch and runs to the front door. When she opens it, she greets Madoka with a smile. "Madoka-chan!" She throws her arms around Madoka, holding her in a tight embrace, pulling away only to say, "Please, come in!"

    Homura only then notices that Madoka is holding something behind her back. A shopping bag? And she's hiding it? Is it...

    Well whatever it is, Homura will probably find out soon. That doesn't stop her from teasing her girlfriend by trying to get a look at it. There's an impish grin on her face when she asks, "So what do you have there, Ma. do. ka. chan?"

    Homura's also holding the door open, in case Madoka wants to come inside.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka hears quick footsteps on the other side of the door and giggles again. When Homura hugs onto her she lets go of the bag with one hand so she can return the hug with the newly freed up arm. "Homura-chan, it's good to see you. ...this house looks huge on the outside, by the way!"

    She smiles brightly at the teasing, twisting a little to better hide it, though she's not trying all that hard. Homura might see the top of something white. Madoka gives a little shake of her head, "No peeking~! Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough!"

    She steps inside and turns, playing a little game by walking backwards while holding the bag behind her as if it's a huge secret since she's being teased about it. Before long she's standing in front of the couch, lifting to her toes and dropping back to her heels.

    "I got you some housewarming gifts! Come sit down and I'll give them to you." She sets the bag down on the coffee table in front of the couch, playfully holding the top closed, and eagerly waits.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura smiles brightly. "It's good to see you, too!" She giggles as Madoka holds the bag behind her, and Homura leans foward with her hands behind her back, matching Madoka's pace and looking at Madoka with curious eyes. "I have something for you too, though... we'll get to that in a moment."

    Homura follows Madoka to the couch, very tempted to push Madoka into it and start kissing, but for the moment she decides to behave. The way her girlfriend is rocking back and forth on her feet is so irresistably cute, though!

    "A housewarming gift? My little angel is so sweet." Homura sits down on the couch, giving Madoka plenty of room to set next to her. She places her hands in her lap and looks up at Madoka.

    "Weeeell?" She leans towards Madoka, keeping her purple eyes locked on her. "Aren't you going to show~ me?"

    Homura moves her hand to prop up her chin, looking up at Madoka curiously.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka smiles happily, "Ohh! You got something for me?" she asks, elongating the last syllable teasingly.

    The pink haired girl would have been very surprised had she found herself shoved onto the couch and attacked with kisses, though she probably wouldn't have minded.

    "Mmhm!" she offers with a quick nod of her head, "You just got a new house so of course you need some! That way your house can turn into a home." For now she chooses to stand, but only because she wants to pass the gifts out rather than just hand her the bag.

    The impatience, whether teasing or not, gets a giggle from Madoka and she waves her hand in a playfully chiding manner, "I will if you're a little more patient~!"

    Her patience only has to last a second because Madoka is eager to give them out. She turns around and plucks something out of the bag and hands it to Homura- it's a square white couch pillow with a pillow case that has 'let's cuddle' written on it in custom English script. A moment later a second one is produced and Madoka beams a smile to her after tossing it to the couch, "These are for the comfiest couch! But wait, there's more~!"

Homura Akemi has posed:
    "I did! It was supposed to be for Valentine's day, but I'll get it for you in a bit." Homura is making Madoka wait, too! Though she'll probably go get it in a second.

    Homura looks up at Madoka with pleading eyes, and a playful pout of her lips. "Making me wait like this. You're such a tease, Madoka-chan!" She does wait, with a smile, looking up at Madoka.

    When she sees Madoka produce the white pillow she gasps and takes it into her hands. She giggles at the writing. "It's perfect! I love it." She sets it against the arm of her couch, adjusting it so that it looks right. When Madoka tosses the second one onto the couch, Homura grabs it and hugs it in her arms while looking up at Madoka. "A second one, too? Oh, Madoka."

    "There's more~?" Homura is especially happy today, though all things considered it's probably not hard to guess why. She has a lot to be happy about, after all. She has a new house, her girlfriend is with her, and she's getting presents. Cute presents, even!

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka's eyes light up when Homura says she got her a Valentine's day present. "Aww, that's so sweet of you!" She decides to play her hand a bit and note, "That's one of the things I got you, too so I'll save that for last so we can trade them at the same time." Yes, there's even more, because she really does want Homura to have some nice personal things to put in her new house.

    She smiles when Homura likes the pillow, blushing just a tiny bit, "I'm glad you like it! And of course I got you a second one, couch pillows come in sets!" Then as her girlfriend reacts to their being more coming she gives a little wink before turning around and reaching into the bag again.

    She pulls something out of her hands and adjusts it so it'll be right side up as she hands it over, turning around and offering it to Homura. It's a circular wall clock with golden hands and pegs to designate the hours, but the rest of the face has been covered with a picture of Madoka's face. There are a few tiny errors in the cuts in the picture made for the pegs, but it isn't hard to tell this was a bit of a crafts project. "Here you go! I hope a clock isn't too cliche a present to give to you, Homura-chan. Hehehe."

    After waiting to see what Homura thinks of it she plucks a small plastic ziplock bag and sets it down on the coffee table. "That's for both you and Amy; fresh catnip!"

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura nods eagerly at the idea of a Valentine's day gift exchange. That would be the best time for it. "Of course! I'd love that."

    "Of course I like it!" Homura squeezes the one she's holding in her arms. "They got with the furniture, and they communicate my intentions pretty clearly." She's looking directly at Madoka when she says that. She winks.

    She waits, semi-patiently, as the wall clock is shown and offered to her. Homura giggles and smiles as she reaches out for it, taking it into her hands. "I like it. I did want a picture of you. I guess without that wallscreen I needed a new clock, too."

    She looks over the golden hands and pegs, shaking her head. "It's not too cliche. I need a clock probably more than most, since time keeps stopping for me. I'll have to decide where to put this."

    Then Homura looks at the catnip and sets the clock down next to it on the coffee table. So Madoka remembered Amy, too. Homura isn't suprised, but it's still very sweet. "Catnip? That's perfect. I'm sure she'll love it."

    Amy is off exploring the rest of the house, since she now has three whole floors to roam thorugh.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka smiles happily when Homura likes the idea of exchanging gifts at the same time, only to blush and twist coyly from side to side as Homura winks at her.

    Happiness seems to be the emotion of the day though and it shows even more on Madoka's face as Homura likes the second housewarming gift she's given. "You can put it anywhere you like, Homura-chan. And, hm! If you want pictures of me I'm sure I can help you with that. I'd be happy to dress up so you can take pictures of me! And maybe we could go to the mall and get our picture taken together in a booth."

    The catnip is noted and Madoka giggles a little. Really, what other gift was she going to get for a kitten? A little mouse toy? Maybe, but that would probably have catnip in it, too! "Hehe, I hope so. Amy deserves presents too. Though my Homura-chan deserves them the most..!"

    She looks into her bag again and then smiles, "Only thing left is your Valentine's day present!" She looks excited. Considering the tradition what it actually is is probably pretty obvious, but she's never had someone special to give a gift to on Valentine's day before.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura smiles even wider at the mention of having Madoka's picture taken while she's wearing something cute, and she covers her mouth to giggle. "I'd like that. We should do that. Maybe we could start a photo album and fill it with cute pictures." I'd be something fun to do, and something to look at while thinking of happy times.

    When Madoka mentions Valentine's day presents, Homura places the couch pillow off to the side and stands up, leaning towards as she says, "Well! I guess I better get mine, then!"

    Homura heads towards the kitchen, disappearing in there for a while. She finds the box of homemade chocolates, one of her rare attempts at cooking, and the note attached to it. She purses her lips, looks at the note. 'Dear Madoka, sorry I couldn't be here--'

    Oh right. That. She just uh... removes that note, tosses it into a garbage can and hides the garbage can. There never was a note! Really! It's completely unimportant after all. Yes best to just ignore it.

    When she comes back out to the living room, she presents the purple rectangular box to Madoka, holding it with both hands. "For you, my dear Madoka-chan!"

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka nods excitedly, "I'd love to have a picture album filled with pictures of us. Hehehe, that'd be so adorable. I want to have lots of cute pictures taken of me with you!"

    Madoka nods and waits as Homura runs off. Once her girlfriend is out of sight she grabs a rectangular box out of the bag wrapped in red paper with gold hearts on it. She's holding it behind her back, deciding to be a bit of a tease on purpose this time.

    When Homura comes back she reaches out and takes the purple box with one hand before holding out her own gift with the other. "Thank you! Happy Valentine's day, Homura-chan!" She unwraps her box eagerly and quickly, both because chocolate is delicious and that's what she's expecting and because she's just really excited to see what she was given.

    Once the paper is off the box she gave to Homura a logo of a fancy upscale chocolate shop is seen and inside the box is a dozen hand picked chocolates, each of them different. "Ehehe, sorry I didn't make them myself. Trust me, it's better this way."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura giggles at Madoka's response to the photo album. Being in the kitchen, she doesn't notice that Madoka is pulling out her last present until she comes back in. She takes Madoka's offered box into and and opens it. It's a chocolate shop, and a nice chocolate shop, and Homura giggles at Madoka's confession.

    "That's alright. They might be better chocolates than mine, haha."

    Homura doesn't have much experience in making chocolate, but she has a certain standard of expertise she holds herself to, and Madoka was worth the extra effort. When Madoka opens it, she finds that the chocolates are of various shapes and sizes. Some are milk chocolate, some are white, some are dark.

    The common shapes are cat heads and angel wings, though two very large pieces have a distinct shape: One is the shape of Homura's Soul Gem, and another is the shape of Madoka's Soul Gem. Those two in particular are in the center, surrounded by the others.

    It might be hard to imagine her making these in the state she was in, but there never was a point when she didn't care about Madoka.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka gives a little shake of her head, "I'm sure that's not true!" when Homura responds to her. Then she opens her box and her eyes go wide, "Oh, Homura-chan! These are so wonderful. You made them yourself, didn't you? I love them, I absolutely love them!"

    She steps forward and hugs onto her, careful not to bump either of the chocolate boxes in the process, and squeezes her tightly. "Thank you so much for going to so much effort for me. You really are wonderful. I love you, Homura-chan."

    She slips her head over Homura's shoulder and stays close, though Homura can feel as well as hear her giggling as she very carefully plucks a white chocolate pair of wings out of the box and bites off one of the wings. "Mm, they're good!" she announces after savoring it. After placing the other half into her mouth she very carefully sets the box onto the coffee table.

    "Hm... I think I was wrong. I do have another Valentine's day gift for you." She pulls away just a little so she can look, pink eyes meeting purple for a brief moment before she pretends to look thoughtful by looking upwards, her eyes sparkling with mischief, "Though it isn't something you don't already have..."

    "Me!"

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura wraps one arm around Madoka, happy that she likes the chocolates. "Yeah, I did. I wasn't actually expecting you to have a Soul Gem when I made them, but... I felt like it was fitting anyways."

    Her voice is soft as she nuzzles against Madoka's hair. "You went through a lot of effort for me too, Madoka-chan. I love you, too. You're my favorite person. Thank you, for all of these things."

    Homura can hear Madoka eating some of the chocolate, and giggles because of Madoka's giggling. She thinks 'why not?' and gets one of the chocolates that Madoka gave her, plucking it from the box and placing it on her tongue.

    She's still chewing when Madoka announces that she has another Valentine's day present. 'Hmm?' She tilts her head, and then smiles mischeviously when Madoka announces what it is.

    "Oh, that's my favorite! How did you know?"

    Homura leans forward, placing the chocolate box on the table before wrapping her arms around Madoka. "Now... where should I put you, hm? Oh I know..."

    Homura sits back down on the couch, reaching up to take Madoka's hands and pull her down with her.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka hums thoughtfully, "Oh, that's true. You wouldn't have had the time to make them after." Or a house to make them in until now. "It is fitting. Though maybe I'll feel a little bad nibbling on your soul. Though I bet it will be the yummiest of all."

    When Homura nuzzles her hair she tilts her head into her and nuzzles back, making a soft happy sound. "You're my favorite person too, Homura-chan. You're welcome. Everything is worth it if it makes you happy. Especially if you're happy and I can be with you!"

    She giggles again as Homura proclaims her her favorite, "I'm not sure, I just had a feeling." Then she laughs playfully and shakes her head to the rhetorical question with an, "I don't know~!" and then happily allows herself to be tugged down onto the couch with Homura, holding onto her as they sit down together

    Madoka's soft pink eyes return to Homura's and look into them with a sweet expression on her face, and she says in an equally sweet tone, "I really am all yours. And you can do anything you want with me. You can hug me and kiss me as much as you want and I'll always enjoy it and want more of them."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura imagines the image of Madoka nibbling on Homura's soul, or a chocolate shaped like her soul, with a tiny little of corner of it in her mouth. She laughs, saying, "Aw, but that's too cute to feel bad about."

    Homura moves in to wrap her arms around Madoka as her girlfriend sits down next to her. "Anything I want~?" Purple eyes draw closer to Pink. "Then I will~."

    She presses her lips against Madoka's, pushing her down towards the couch, adjusting her new pillow so that it'll be under Madoka's head. She adjusts her pose so that she's lying on top of Madoka, breaking the kiss in order to so so, but wrapping her arms even tighter around Madoka and kissing her again.

    A happy sigh escapse her lips after she pulls away a second time. "I love you so much." Then she kisses Madoka on the cheek, and again below her ear, before travelling down to Madoka's neck and kissing her there, too.

    She adjusts her embrace, gripping Madoka's shoulder with one hand, and her side with the other. Homura had to go almost a week without cuddling Madoka, and she's got a lot of lost time to make up for. When she pulls away from Madoka's neck, she whipsers into her ear. "I'm always yours, and you can do whatever you like with me, too."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    "Too cute?" Madoka asks with a tiny tilt of her head. She doesn't quite understand until she envisions the opposite; Homura nibbling on the pointy end of the chocolate. That gets a giggle out of her.

    When her statement is repeated as a question Madoka blushes and nods, watching as the pretty purple eyes get larger in her vision. Not for long though because her eyes close when she's kissed.

    She willingly lets herself be pushed down, resisting only enough so that their lips can stay together- or at least until Homura shifts around to crawl on top of her, which puts a very bright smile onto her face. She takes the chance to wiggle around a bit herself so she's nice and comfy.

    Her arms wrap back around Homura afterwards, eagerly returning the kisses and squeezing her girlfriend tightly down against herself. She makes a happy sigh through her nose and lets her hands wander a little, rubbing Homura's back with one while combing through her silky hair with the others.

    When she pulls away a second time she smiles. "I love you too." She thinks of something and finds it a bit silly but decides to say it anyway, "And I love that you love me." She makes a happy, 'Hee,' sound as her cheek is kissed. When the kisses reach her neck she blushes brightly and makes a little sound followed by a, "H-homura-chan," but turns her head a little so Homura can kiss her there more if she likes.

    When Homura's hold on her shifts she slips her arms a bit further around her, hugging her about the waist and then letting her arms move up her back because that embrace feels so similar to one of the ways Homura leads her when they're dancing.

    Then Homura whispers into her ear and she giggles, "Can I?" Her eyes open back up and trace over her girlfriends features, "My pretty, beautiful Homura-chan." She lifts her head, pressing sweet, soft kisses all over Homura's face, even over her eyelids of she closes them. When it seems like she's kissed everywhere she giggles softly and asks, "How did I get such a pretty girlfriend?" and then gives another kiss- this one to her lips.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    'I love that you love me.' Homura sighs happily. "I love that you love me, too. I'm so lucky that I get to be with you."

    'Can I?' She whispers back, "You can." Homura sold her soul for Madoka. There's nothing she wouldn't be willing to do for her.

    Madoka kisses all over her face, and Homura smiles, closing her eyes when Madoka kisses her eyelids. How did Madoka get such a pretty girlfriend? "By being cute, by being sweet and kind, by being wonderful, by being such a perfect little angel. I've loved you for as long as I've known you. I'll hold you as long as you'll let me, Madoka-chan."

    She rests her head on Madoka's shoulder for a moment, kissing her cheek again before going back to Madoka's lips, holding her lips there for a moment. By now all of her black hair is spread over her back, and falling down to softly tickle Madoka's arms and face.

    Homura's hand reaches up to scritch the back of Madoka's neck, smiling through the kiss. This close, Madoka can probably hear the increase in Homura's heartrate.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka sold her soul for Homura as well. If there's such a thing as intentionally becoming someone's soul mate this is probably about as close as it gets. "So we're lucky that we have each other. I'd agree with that. I feel very lucky right now. And happy."

    The slew of compliments return the happy smile to her face once more, and being called a perfect little angel makes her giggle and blush at the same time. She never thought Homura was just flattering her with her compliments, but having actually seen through her eyes in memory... now she knows how much she means them. "As long as I want? But that'd be forever! I guess we'll need to eat eventually..."

    The kiss to her lips is returned eagerly once more, a little shiver running through her as the hair tickles her, and then again as the back of her neck is scritched. She rubs over Homura's back with her hands, and the lightly pushes her hair apart to get at her neck as well so that she can lightly brush her fingertips over it along her spine, trying to send a tingle or shiver through Homura before returning the scritches.

    When Homura's heartrate starts increasing Madoka giggles and breaks the kiss to comment, "I think you like me. I like you too."

    She quickly gives another kiss, this one a bit more firm, only to pull away again teasingly. "Want to hear something funny? My parents knew something was wrong because I didn't spend the night at a friends house for the whole week." Among other obvious symptoms. She giggles playfully, "I think I should spend the night here so they know everything is okay again."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    "We are lucky~... to have a love like ours. I wouldn't trade it for anything."

    Homura giggles, but it's a low, deep giggle. "We would get hungry eventually, wouldn't we? Well at least we have chocolate." Homura nuzzles against Madoka's shoulder. "... and if we run out of that, it just means I get to take you out somewhere~."

    Homura rests her head against Madoka's shoulder, closing her eyes and reaching up to play with one of Madoka's pigtails. Madoka's touch on her back sends a chill down her spine and puts goosebumps on her skin, and Homura's shoulders tighten and relax in response. She whispers, "Madoka..." into her girlfriend's ear.

    With a smile, Homura responds, "I do like you. I like you a lot, Madoka-chan."

    Homura savors the next kiss, and them smiles as Madoka pulls away. "Oh? They knew something was up? Well... I wouldn't want them to worry about you."

    Homura looks off to the side thoughtfully, saying, "Though... my bed got impaled. This house should come with one... or seven... Which room would you like to stay in, Madoka-chan?"

    Since Homura is the only one who lives here, it occurs to her that she could literally sleep in a different bed each day of the week. Then Homura giggles at a mental image that she then shares. "I bet Amy had the same idea, and is sleeping on one of them already."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    A soft shake of her head is given and Madoka agrees, "I wouldn't either." She would, in fact, give anything to keep it. Which she's proven!

    "Mmm, chocolate is good but I wouldn't want to hog it just because I'm hungry," she says playfully. Then she smiles, "You can take me out anytime you want, Homura-chan. I'm happy to go on a date with you, or just go out to eat with you~."

    As her pigtail is played with she laughs a little, the gathered hair soft and fluffy to Homura's touch. Her touch having the desired effect puts smile on her face and after giving the scritches she softly runs her fingers over the skin at the back of her neck.

    Her name being used so personally and intimately warms her and puts a blush on her face again. She nods her head a little, "I ended up telling them we had a fight." Which was true enough if only half the story.

    Her romantic daze is broken momentarily though and she blinks before giving wide eyes to Homura, "-Seven- beds?!" She then lets out a long laugh before saying, "My girlfriend is rich as well as beautiful!"

    She hums a little, thinking honestly over the question for a moment before saying in an almost too sweet voice, "Whichever one you're in, Homura-chan." Right after saying it she leans her head in and presses her cheek to her girlfriends, nuzzling it and the side of her head against her.

    "Amy is going to be exploring for a week," Madoka notes happily. "A house with seven bedrooms is enormous for a person, imagine how much bigger it must seem to a kitty." She closes her eyes for a few moments and lays there happily, sliding her legs against Homura's and feeling her girlfriends weight pressing down on her, keeping her warm and close even while relaxing.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    "We should... go out to eat sometime. I mean... whether it's a date or not." Homura rubs her nose against Madoka's cheek, then gives her another kiss. "Speaking of food, we probably should think about that, since you're spending the night here. There's... nothing in the kitchen I'm afraid. We could go somewhere to eat, or if we just want to cuddle then we can order something."

    Homura chuckles a little before saying, "Since Amy's food doesn't need to be refridgerated, it's probably the only thing food that's survived."

    She lays still for a moment, resting on top of Madoka. She is very content here, and now that she knows she's going to get to stay in this life... she enjoys it all the more.

    "We... well we did have a pretty big fight, didn't we? I guess you won." Homura certainly didn't keep Madoka from making a contract, but Madoka did get to keep Homura. Still, preventing a contract seems like a silly goal considering how Madoka really feels about it.

    "I'm glad you did, though. I don't think we ever would've truly understood each other without that connection, and your second form henshin is gorgeous. I've never actually seen that before."

    She gives Madoka another kiss on her lips, holding it there for a moment. When she releases and hears the comment about being rich, she smiles. "Well... I happened to get a good deal on it. Though admittedly that's not a very happy story. There was a Witch haunting this place... so..."

    She clears her throat. That story kindof writes itself, honestly. "Yeah, Amy will have plenty of room to run around. I could probably fit a lot of people in here, actually. If I have guests. And of course we'll be sleeping in the same bed! I just haven't decided which one yet."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka kisses Homura back when it's given to her, and then after a moment of thinking says, "Order. Definitely order, because I want to keep cuddling with you. And keep kissing you." She proves this by giving Homura another kiss, this one lovingly soft and lingering.

    Since they're being more cuddly in their closeness than passionate she starts brushing her fingers through Homura's long hair, fingers slipping through the silky locks and straightening it out a little. "It was a big one. I guess I did win in the end, though I wish I hadn't have left when I did. I really missed you, even though it was only a little while." She makes a little whimper and pouts, remembering how sad she was at the time.

    Her head gives a little shake then, "It was really hard for me, trying to understand how you felt, but I think I really do now." At the mention of her second transformation being gorgeous she blushes suddenly, "Me? Gorgeous? I think you're the gorgeous one between us, but I'm glad if you think so."

    A witch was haunting this house? That does explain the good deal. "So maybe some of those stories of haunted places are true, just with witches instead? Hmm. That makes scary stories a bit easier to handle." The kiss given to her is, of course, thoroughly enjoyed.

    "Just don't invite a bunch of bad people over so you have to move again," Madoka notes. She sounds playful but she's at least half serious about it. She then makes a happy, "Yay!" when she's told they'll be sharing a bed, "I want to snuggle Homura-chan all night and wake up in her arms~." Which one, though? "Hm, I think we'll just have to try all of them and decide after." That might take a while, but she's willing to take the time to find out which is best!

    Having combed her fingers all the way through Homura's hair a couple of times she reaches up with one of her hands and starts just petting the top and back of her head, sometimes smoothly running her palm over it, and sometimes poking her fingers into her hair to massage her scalp.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    "Well if you don't even want to move, I'll just order from my phone~." Homura pulls her smartphone, complete with a still-cracked otterbox (she'll have to replace that, soon) and keeps one arm around Madoka while the other arm is draped lazily around her and holding the phone. She pauses, for a brief moment, while Madoka kisses her, and she presses into it to savor the moment.

    When she pulls back, she asks, "Pizza? Chinese? My treat either way."

    Homura adjusts her position to let Madoka's get better access to her hair. She rests her head against Madoka's shoulder and says, "I missed you too. The hardest part was staying away from you because I didn't want my Witch to hurt you... not that what happened wasn't going to hurt anyways, but I mean..."

    She trails off. It's weird to think that she's only alive right now because of Madoka, but really... she could say the same thing about the last 12 years of her life.

    "I'm sorry. I didn't see any other way... but I wasn't really thinking right. Maybe that's just part of the process. I don't know."

    Homura smiles at being called gorgeous. "Maybe out of henshin, but not when you look like that. You have these beautiful angel wings, and long flowing pink hair, and these cute white ribbons, and that dress..." Homura blushes and giggles. "Oh my, I think I might have a serious weakness. You really do look like an angel like that, or maybe a goddess."

    On the topic of Witches, Homura nods. "Sometimes it's true. Though in this timeline it could be any kind of youma, really. Still, if you hear any rumors about this place, well... they were probably true."

    At the mention of inviting bad people over, Homura laughs. "Yeah, not doing that again. I was used to like... inviting Kyouko over or Mami over, or you and Sayaka. None of us were ever crazy enough to try to mess up my house. Even Kyouko would have the decency call you out if she wanted to have a fight. Then again it was really Walpurgisnacht that forced the issue."

    Homura mms happily as Madoka pets her head and massages her scalp. "We should've been doing this years ago," she mutters, forgetting for the moment that they haven't even known each other for a year. At least in this timeline. Then again Madoka knows about all the other timelines, too.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    The fact that Homura doesn't even have to get up to call makes Madoka laugh, but she shouldn't be too surprised. What a convenience smartphones and the modern age is! "Hmm... Pizza! Mama and Papa never order pizza." Unhealthy food like that is hardly ever served at her house in anything close to large quantities.

    Madoka rewards Homura giving her access to her hair by playing with it a lot, though she does give a couple early pets to her head as she rests it on her shoulder. "I know, and it's okay. You don't have to explain; I really do understand now. It would be too horrible if you were a Witch and hurt me like that. For you that would probably be the worst thing imaginable. But you never have to worry about something like that."

    Homura goes on to explain all the things she likes about Madoka's special henshin and she blushes brightly and giggles. "Hehehe, well if you like it that much I could show it off a little for you sometime." Seeing Homura blush puts a serious smile on her face and she lifts her head to give several kisses to her lips. "Of course I do! I'm your little angel, after all~" She considers for a moment, "I wonder what it's like to have a wing petted, or if I could wrap you up and cuddle you in my hair..."

    Then, on a more serious note she adds, "Though that will have to wait a bit. That form... it takes a lot of effort. Not magic- it's just... Using it is really tiring?" It's a bit hard to explain, but it's not really like when she first henshined into a Puella Magi, which actually felt rather natural and easy.

    "Hehehe, maybe. I'm just glad we can be doing this now." She massages her scalp some more, and then very delicately massages her ears as well once she's done using her phone.

    Her eyes move then to Homura's. She stares into them, smiling a bit shyly while thinking about kissing her, the kisses in her mind getting more and more passionate. Her face starts turning pink, and then red, her heart skips a beat, and then she leans up and gives Homura a firm, passionate kiss, only slide her arms around her and start trying to roll over with her so she can be the one on top for a little bit.

    Madoka is going to try to see if she can distract her with kissing enough that they won't even notice the first time the doorbell rings when the food arrives!

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura giggles. "Pizza it is!" Ordering a pizza from her smartphone is easy. There's even an app for it, though she does have to update her address. "Let's see. Do you like pepperoni? Actually what toppings do you like? They've got... chicken, pork, umm..." she lists off a few more, some meats, some cheeses, some vegetables. Fairly standard fare, mostly. Whatever Madoka's okay with, Homura ends up ordering before putting her phone away.

    Homura snuggles against Madoka as her hair is played with, feeling calmed and comforted by her girlfriend's touching. She needs this. She always needed this. She had no idea how much she needed this until she had it. Maybe if she was kissing and cuddling Madoka the whole time maybe life wouldn't have been so stressful.

    "I still want to make sure you're well trained. You did really good, and you have a lot of power. You'll be even stronger some day, but I still want to protect you, and the best way I can do that is to make sure you know what you're doing..." Homura's tone grows more serious for a moment, then she pauses. Her tone is soft again when she says, "... plus, to be perfectly honest, I want to fight alongside you. I mean... I love you, so getting to be with you even while I'm hunting would be nice. We can split and share the seeds. I wont be stingy when it comes to you." Not that Homura has been stingy about Grief Seeds ever.

    Madoka mentions showing off her angelic henshin, and then even talks about petting her wings and wrapping Homura up in her hair. Homura's face matches Madoka's hair color after all of that, kindof in a daze as Madoka kisses her. "I would like that..." she states, meekly. 'Like' is an understatement. She would be overwhelmed if Madoka did that for real.

    Homura laughs, maybe a little awkwardly, when Madoka says that it'd have to wait. "That's fine! That's fine... I mean... it'd be fun! ... but you know... don't overdo it or anything... and yeah, I'm glad we can do this now."

    Madoka kisses her, passionately, and Homura kisses back, getting more and more into it as Madoka does. When Madoka tries to roll on top of her, Homura allows it, adjusting herself to end up beneath Madoka and resting her head against the pillow. Her arms wrap around Madoka's waist and hold her close.

    It'll be a while before food arrives. Plenty of time to distract Homura enough to forget all about it.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka nods her head, "Pepperoni is good!" She then goes on to list some other toppings when asked about them, though it's pretty unlikely they'd all be good on the same pizza.

    Madoka likewise never would have guessed at just how wonderful it feels to be so close with her girlfriend before this. Of course she didn't even realize she'd enjoy being with a girlfriend at all before they started dating, but that's another story altogether.

    She nods a little when Homura talks about wanting to protect her, and then smiles at the mention of fighting alongside each other. "I'd like that too. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have as a partner. I know how much you care about me and how much you'll look out for me. I may be powerful, but I know there's a lot I need to learn and practice at." She giggles a little bit, "That's true too- if we have to spend a bunch of time hunting, we might as well do it together!"

    With how much Homura is blushing Madoka really does wish it was easier to transform into that form. If it was as easy as becoming a Puella Magi she'd do it right now just to try and make her pretty girlfriend completely dizzy and overwhelmed by her affection. As it is she giggles softly and says in a deeper than normal tone, "Hehe, my sweet Homura-chan... I'll keep that in mind."

    Homura lets her claim the top position and Madoka presses herself down onto her, squeezing her body tightly to her girlfriends for a moment before drawing away from her. She hovers over her, rising on her knees a bit, and presses passionate kisses down onto her lips. She pauses just for a moment, long enough to pull her ribbons free and let her hair down, setting them aside. She slides one of her silky bestockinged legs against Homura's, and then takes her girlfriends hands in her own and stretches them above her head a little.

    Her lips move away, but only to press kisses down to Homura's neck as was done to her before, using her nose to tickle and nuzzle the side of her neck a little. After giving those kisses to her neck she tilts her chin up enough to whisper, "Homura..." into her ear, only to nibble a tiny bit on her earlobe with her lips before going back to Homura's own lips for more hot, passionate kisses.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Well, even if they aren't all good on the same pizza, Homura still makes note of them. It'll be a good thing to remember if they order pizza. Homura selects a few of them before sending in her order.

    Homura holds Madoka tightly as she agrees that she'd like to fight beside her. "There's a lot of stuff I wish someone would've told me. Every Puella's magic is different, but there are some things common to most Puella Magi that I could show you. Plus... with the both of us working together, there might be some stuff we could do. I could timestop and give you time to charge up your arrows, for example. ... but there's also things that you can only learn through experience, and I'd like to make sure someone has your back during that, especially if I get to be that someone!"

    Dizzy and overwhelmed would be an accurate description. 'Lost in a sea of bliss' would probably be how she'd describe it. Homura looks at Madoka meekly when she says she'll keep it in mind. Her heart is beating even faster now!

    Homura lies underneath Madoka and watches as she rises to her knees and takes out her hair ribbons. She meets each of Madoka's kisses with her own, looking up at Madoka with sweet anticipation. When Madoka slides her leg against Homura's, Homura's leg rises and her foot slides upwards. She interlaces her fingers with Madoka's as her girlfriend takes her hand and stretches it above her head.

    Homura lets out a happy sigh as Madoka kisses her neck, her breathing getting heavier as her name is whispered and her ear is nibbled. She squeals as Madoka moves in for a kiss, brushing her lips against Madoka's and enjoying every moment of it.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    "I'll be happy to listen to everything you want to teach me, Homura-chan. In many ways I'll be much safer now that I can protect myself," and is much more resilient she thinks, but doesn't say it because it implies her getting hurt. It's bound to happen but she'd rather not worry Homura with it right now. "But I'll also be putting myself in a lot more dangerous positions than before. Being a Puella Magi is a dangerous lifestyle, so I know I'll need to learn quickly." She is at least taking her new role seriously. Training will have to wait for a little later, though, because right now is cuddling and kissing time.

    Making Homura's heart beat faster is extra encouragement to Madoka to kiss her passionately. She was never anything remotely so passionate as this with her ex-boyfriend, but there's something about knowing just how intense Homura's feelings for her are that makes her want to indulge and encourage them. She likes making people happy, and this is no exception!

    Madoka teases the top of her foot against the bottom of Homura's as her leg rises, though she can't do it for long since she needs to balance with her leg, cooing a bit into the kisses anyway. When their fingers interlace she squeezes Homura's hand and then enjoys the feeling of their interlinked fingers.

    The heavier breathing spurs Madoka on, and the squeak makes her blush brightly and encourages her even more, pressing an untold plethora of intense, loving kisses to Homura's lips.

    After many minutes of kissing she pulls away and whispers, "I can't get enough of you." She pants breathlessly for several moments afterwards, actually having to catch her breath. Her skin is flushed and her heart is racing. But unless Homura has other ideas she's going to lean back down and give her Valentine even more of her passionate displays of affection.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    "It is dangerous," admits Homura, though her tone is even and calm, and there's an undertone of love in it, "... and I wont be able to distract the Witches and Familiars from you like I used to be able to. They'll come after you because you're a threat now and you'll need to watch your back. Still, I'll be there. It'll be safer with both of us there."

    Homura accepts Madoka's passion and her kisses, enjoying the sweet romantic moment the two of them are sharing. As intense as Homura's feelings are, she can't help but love every moment of this. If Madoka's goal is to make Homura happy, she's succeeding with flying colors!

    Madoka's foot teases Homura's, and Homura's toes wiggle against Madoka's leg. She squeezes Madoka's fingers between her own. Homura accepts every kiss, happily being the target of Madoka's affections.

    When Madoka breaks away, Homura giggles, "Oh~, my little angel is taking me to Heaven~!" She keeps giggling as Madoka leans down for another kiss, still giggling a bit as their lips press again, only for the laughter to trail off in the sweetness of the moment.

    This is almost too good to be true, but even if it's a dream then Homura never wants to wake up.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    "That's true, I'll be a real target more than just a potential victim. But hunting Witches is what Puella Magi do, and I don't intend to be a pushover. I'll also be there to watch your back too, Homura-chan. We're both more the type to fight from a distance, so it'll be a bit easier to cover one another." Madoka sounds confident, but a lot of the reason for it is knowing she'll have Homura to help cover mistakes she might make. Not only Homura, either- there are so many people who she trusts to help look after her while she gets her feet under her.

    Madoka is almost deliriously happy herself, giggling as her leg is teased by Homura's toes, brushing the sides of her fingers softly against Homura's. Even when she's giving Homura as many and as intensely passionate kisses as she knows how each and every one is being so sweetly and lovingly received. This really must be what it means to be young and in love.

    Homura's giggling comment puts a fresh warm blush on her cheeks, and those exact words have her biting her lip. After giving her another few kisses she pulls away again and looks deeply into her eyes. "Do you want to come to Heaven with me, Homura-chan? Then let me take you there."

    She closes her eyes and pink magic begins to build around her, coating over her body. It takes longer this time- quite a bit longer in fact, both because returning to the form again so soon is difficult and she's easing into it more gently. As her hair lengthens she lets go of Homura's hands and draws them around her back, sliding her legs in around one of Homura's and blushingly entwining it between her thighs.

    Then in a weak flash the henshin completes, and Homura is held in the arms of Madoka's angelic visage, her soft pink eyes staring deeply into Homura's. "Homura-chan," she speaks in a soft, gentle voice, "are you my little Prophet? You've done so much for me. Let me show you my gratitude."

    Her dress flows around them both and her hair waves gently through the air, up to the high ceilings and slowly spreading further out. And then after a moment the reason for squeezing a leg between her own and wrapping her arms around Homura are clear as she lifts slowly into the air, her grip somehow remaining gentle as she picks Homura up off the couch and drifts towards the ceiling with her, holding and cradling her in her loving embrace.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura giggles. "I saw your power when you fought my familiars. You're already no pushover! You'll end up being stronger than Mami or me, and you already are in some ways. You'd probably be fine even without my help, just... you know... I want to make sure, because your important to me." Homura certainly thinks that Madoka's confidence is justified, especially since a lot of people consider her important enough to protect, and Homura is certainly one of those people.

    Homura enjoys every moment of Madoka's love. She invited Madoka over hoping for something like this. It's certainly good to have something like this, especially after all of the bad times that happened recently.

    Madoka offers to take her to Heaven, and Homura blushes, and her voice is breathless "W-what? I mean... I'd love to!"

    Homura watches as Madoka takes on her kami form, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend's back, and when one of Homura's legs is pressed against Madoka's, Homura presses one of Madoka's thighs between hers. This moment is intense, and bliss takes over Homura's mind, pushing out any other thought. There are no cares or worries anymore, there's just Homura's little angel.

    "I'll be your Prophet... I'll be anything you want." Madoka talks something about gratitude, and Homura's eyes half-close. She doesn't know what exactly that means, but it sounds amazing. It's already amazing.

    Then Homura's back lifts off the couch, and she wraps her arms around Madoka tightly. Homura could catch herself if she fell from here, and there's no question she'd endure the fall without injury, but she wants to stay in Madoka's embrace.

    "Oh my... I love you so much... stay with me forever..."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka giggles, "I had a lot of help! I don't know about being stronger than you or Mami-san, though. If I could be as strong I think I'd be happy with that. Whatever I can do to help you all, and to protect people, I want to do it. And I know you might not need it, but I want to protect you too, because you're just as important to me."

    Madoka makes a small single syllable laugh and closes her eyes as Homura accepts her offer, "Then let me take you."

    They both seem to have the same idea, wrapping both legs around one of each others, and it makes it easier for Madokami to hold Homura steady. She stares into her eyes as they lift into the air.

    "I want you to be you." Can angels or goddesses blush? If Madoka is any indicator the answer is yes. "And I want you to be mine." She gives her own gentle, half-lidded gaze to Homura, and her ethereal wings fold inward, curling around Madoka's form to enwrap Homura up as well, sheltering and caressing her, enclosing her with Madoka and making it seem as if they're in their own private little room together, just real enough to be felt and hold her steady.

    "You already know I will. I could never leave you, not after everything that's happened. You didn't believe me when I told you before, but you're completely irreplaceable to me." Her voice is low and soft, cooing to her beloved. "I'm here with you and for you, forever and always, Homura-chan."

    With Homura safely in her arms and wings Madokami begins to gently pirouette through the air, floating above the furniture in the large room and taking Homura along with her. The slow spinning causes her hair to dance and flow around the both of them, never snagging or tangling, but flowing over them like a misty fog, only so much softer and silkier.

    Her eyes still on Homura, Madoka's lips curl up the slightest bit more than the gentle smile that had thusfar held on them, and she leans in and presses a kiss to her girlfriends lips. It isn't as passionate as the ones given to her before, but instead seems to feel intensely loving in it's extreme gentleness, her lips soft and their press to Homura's so slow and deliberate that they conform to them perfectly. "Mmm..."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura smiles blissfully up at Madoka. "You already have protected me. I wouldn't mind if you protected me forever. If we could share that, looking out for each other like that, I'd be so happy." Really, it would be like when she first met Madoka, during those first few timeloops where they were close and fighting by eachother. Except now it would be so much better.

    'Then let me take you.' Homura nods, silently, looking up at her angellic girlfriend. "I am yours. I am so, so yours. I have been... for as long as I've known you." Then, as those magical wings wrap around Madoka and Homura, the black-haired girl gets an idea. Trusting in Madoka's strength to keep her there, Homura lifts one hand to run her fingers across the top of Madoka's wings. "Do you feel that?" she whispers. "Is it nice?"

    Homura pets the upper edge Madoka's wings, and then softly drags her fingers down the sides of them. She rubs the wings with her one hand, while holding Madoka tightly with her other arm.

    Homura's black hair dangles beneath her, but when the wings wrap around them they catch Homura's hair inside of them, black hair splayed against etheral white. "I could never replace you either... I should've known how much I meant to you. You were always so good to me... I could never replace you, either. You're my everything."

    As the two of them spin through the air, Homura rests her forehead against Madoka's, letting the hair flow around then and surround them. Homura's eyes glance to the side, watching the pink softness float through the air. "You really are beautiful... On a scale of one to ten, you're a twenty at least. Maybe a fifty."

    She turns her gaze back towards Madoka's eyes, just in time to recieve another kiss. Homura presses into it, softly, letting Madoka lead and enjoying the gentle love and care that her girlfriend is giving her.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    That warm smile again as Homura tells Madoka she already has protected her. "Yes, that's what I want. To keep protecting you and to keep being protected by you. That would make me truly happy."

    'I am yours. I am so, so yours.' Madoka rubs the tip of her nose against Homura's, "Then I'm going to keep you forever." Her cheeks flush a little when Homura starts brushing and petting her wings, "I feel it, Homura-chan. It does feel nice. Do they feel nice to you?" The wings are effectively made of magic, so they don't feel either downy or feathery. But they do somehow feel like they're made of the very essence of Madokami's form.

    Likewise when Homura brushes the underside of Madoka's dress it feels extremely light and airy, almost as if it isn't there at all. It's also impossible to tell if the display of space is some window into the universe or merely some illusion, even right up close.

    "If we were meant to be, if we were always intended to belong together... that wouldn't surprise me. I've always been drawn to you. You've always been so sweet and deserving of my love, whether you were lonely, or happy, or hurting. I've never been able to look at you without wanting to go to you and comfort you, or to make friends with you." Even when Homura's confusing familiarity and unnerving focus were upon her when Madoka hardly knew her this was still true, of hidden behind those worries.

    Madokami giggles softly as Homura rests her forehead to hers and claims her beauty breaks the measuring scales so thoroughly. "You don't leave me any choice but to believe you, so I will. I'm very happy you think I'm so beautiful."

    The kisses Madoka gives while in this form are almost heartbreakingly tender and sweet, the purity and innocence of her heart showing through the gentle kisses. She draws away and lets out a little sigh of pleasure, pressing more guiltless kisses to her girlfriends lips. Her wings holding Homura secure even when she's directly below Madoka as they spin, she releases her with one hand to brush her gloved fingers through her bangs, and then along the contours of her face, as Madoka so often likes to do.

    "Even like this I am yours," she whispers sweetly.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    "They do feel nice~," coos Homura. "It's like I'm touching everything that I love about you." Her hands continue to move around Madoka's wings, before tracing the top of of them with one finger until she reaches the base of them. Then Homura rubs Madoka's back.

    Madoka's dress certainly is otherworldly. It makes Homura wonder what it means. Nearly everything about Puella is heavily symbolic. Does it have something to do with her near-infinite potential?

    "If our fate is to be together, then maybe I can forgive fate just a little bit. Though I'm still mad at it for everything we had to endure." It very much is 'we' now. Since Madoka knows everything that previous Madokas felt, there isn't much difference now between who she is now and who she was, at least in Homura's mind. All of those karmic ties are drawn together now.

    "Hey... I just thought of something... you said before that you weren't happy because you didn't remember all of our previous timelines, but that's not a problem anymore, is it? Everything we've lost, we've gotten back... and then some."

    Homura giggles. "I couldn't imagine anything as beautiful as you, let alone more beautiful. I don't think I could ever resist you like you are now... not that I ever could anyways."

    Homura shivers when Madoka's gloved hand traces over her face, and her arms cling just a little tighter. She feels safe in Madokami's wings, and her arms, and in her hair. Homura chuckles, somewhat sheepishly, before she confesses. "I have to admit, the first time I saw you like this, even as a Witch, my first thought was about how cute you were. Like... 'oh my god that beautiful person is my girlfriend'."

    Homura leans upward to Madoka, giving her a soft and sweet kiss. Where she was once somewhat clingy and needy, she's growing more confident, knowing that her kisses and affections are not only welcomed but wanted. "You mean the world to me. You mean more to me than all the stars in the sky. I'm yours no matter what form I'm in, from the end of my hair to my own soul."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madokami smiles sweetly, keeping her wings still as they're touched because they're what's holding Homura safely to her right now. She's enjoying the touches to her wings, but also the backrub that comes after.

    "I would have preferred it if we could have been together like this without strife, but I'm not sure that we could have. Going through so much together has brought us so much closer." Not to mention the fact that Madoka needs to be able to do something that makes her feel useful. Perhaps if there were in some far flung parallel world where magic didn't exist and she was still a hospital volunteer? It isn't really worth dwelling on now though, not when she has Homura tucked to her so lovingly. "You went through far more than you should have had to. I'm very glad that after all of that I can finally bring you some happiness."

    Madoka considers the question for a moment and shakes her head, "It isn't anymore, no. I felt very sad that I had to keep forgetting you over and over. I thought it was terrible that you had to endure me not remembering you, and that I forgot the memories we'd made together. But now I have all of that back again, and I love you all the more for it."

    "Maybe a mirror..?" Madoka asks with a gracious smile as Homura says she can't imagine anything as beautiful as her. "Is my beauty so overwhelming that you can't resist? That's okay, you don't have to."

    She blushes a little again at Homura's confession, "Then it's settled; you'll need to include many pictures of me like this in any album we decide to make. I'm sorry I can't stay like this for you forever." There's the slightest tinge of a sadness in her smile and in her eyes, because she really means that if her girlfriend admires her so much as she is right now.

    The sweet kiss is happily accepted and returned, and when Homura speaks to her with such romantic words her eyes half lid again. She wraps her arms back around Homura and then clings extra tight with one of them as her wings unfold once more, reaching back with one hand to lightly flip her hair. For a brief moment it floats in the air before settling back down. "Everything I am is yours, Homura-chan. From the tips of my toes, to my skin and my bones, and to my soul. I really do love you."

    She makes a soft sound, and the pirouetting through the air slows a bit. They'd drifted together across the room but now they're back above the couch. Madoka holds Homura close, lowering the two of them back down. When they're right above it the henshin begins to fade and they settle back down together, gravity taking hold of Madoka once more and pressing her against Homura as the long hair, wings, and dress fade away and leave her once again as just a girl. She lets out a little yawn and rather returning to passionate kissing squirms a little against Homura to get comfortable, resting her head on her shoulder.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    "It'd be nice if we could've met without all of the problems," admits Homura, before shaking her head, "but I wouldn't be who I am without them. I wouldn't say I was grateful for them, but all of that is a part of me now. It changed me, and it'll change you, too. You've already become stronger and more confident. Heroism looks good on you, Madoka-chan."

    "... and I would go through all of that again for you, Madoka-chan. I can't tell you how happy I am." Her hand moves to scratch Madoka behind the neck. "Being with you like this, seeing you happy, this is what I've always wanted. I couldn't ask for anything better."

    Her eyes half-open, she whispers, "... and being your girlfriend makes everything better."

    Homura blushes as Madoka responds by saying that Homura's just as beautiful. "It is... I just could melt into you."

    Homura giggles as Madoka brings up the photo album. "We should! That'd be perfect." Then Homura shakes her head. "It doesn't have to be forever. I'm happy to enjoy it when we can. You've been very sweet just for sharing this much with me... Thank you, Madoka-chan. It means so much!" With an impish grin she adds, "It was divine~!"

    Homura's arms wrap around Madoka tightly as her girlfriend says she's hers. "... then I'll take you, and keep you forever! I love you too, and I'll never stop."

    As the two of them lower towards the couch, Homura is ecstatic. She's so happy that Madoka did that just for her. She holds onto her as her back touches the couch, and leans forward to give her a kiss.

    She doesn't notice that the pizza has arrived until the third doorbell, after which she says, "Ah! It's here!" She rolls out from under Madoka, picking herself up to go get it. "I'll be right back, my dear~!"
