---

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    After doing the rooftop rounds and making a circuit around Mitakihara, now that it's seemingly a thing they can magically afford to do again, Madoka and Homura return to the Homu House, landing on the terrace outside the first story and walking in through a door that leads inside after unlocking it. The patrol had been uneventful, which depending on who you ask might be a good thing or a bad thing considering Grief Cubes. The pink haired girl dehenshins once she's inside, her magical uniform disappearing in a flash of magic and revealing the pink suit she wore while they were taking their earlier walk.

    She starts to stretch a little at first, but finds her suit jacket a little restrictive in that department and unbuttons it, slipping out of her shoes before while walking over into the dining room portion of the large central room. She shrugs the jacket off and sets it over the back of a chair before reaching up and loosening her tie, though she doesn't bother removing it. With that done she gets her stretch in, extending her right arm high above her head while holding it with her left hand, arm behind her head. She lets out a long yawn while raising onto her toes before dropping back to her heels; it's been a long night, mentally tiring as well as physically. Then, reaching into the pocket of her suit pants, she retrieves her three Grief Cubes, peering at them curiously before setting them down near each other on the table before slipping her Soul Gem ring off of her finger and setting it nearby. Darkness begins to ooze out of it and into the small cubes, and she drops down into a chair, crossing her arms and setting her chin on them, watching the process at work.

    "It almost looks like what those things were doing to the people," she comments, the volume of her voice depending on how far she judges Homura to be based on her footsteps. "I'm glad we were able to stop them in time. I'm not sure what it was they were doing, but whatever it was, it wasn't good."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura enters the room along with Madoka. The patrol was uneventful after leaving Takashi, but that doesn't mean that Homura isn't excited by the prospect. She had partially purified her soul gem, just to see if those things would work, but aside from using one of her three Grief Cubes she didn't really purify it as much as she could. She walks over to the dinner table, retrieves her two remaining cubes, and sets them down on the table.

    Then her henshin fades in a flash of purple to reveal her own black suit, and her own Soul Gem ring is placed between her cubes. Darkness slowly seeps off of them, and Homura watches the process a bit more closely. She has never seen anything like this, so she's not sure what to think about it. "So... these things came about because Walpurgisnacht failed..."

    Homura continues watching the darkness drain out, and also looks at Madoka's ring undergoing the same process. She looks up at the ceiling, takes off her jacket, places it on a chair back and then turns around. The black-haired veteran starts to pace. There are a lot of feelings going through her right now, and she's not sure how to take it all in.

    Madoka starts talking about the Wraiths, and Homura isn't sure how to respond. "Well, you got a better look at them than I did. I guess I got distracted by talking to Kyubey. I wanted to figure things out, so..."

    She trails off, then she turns around to look at Madoka, holding her hands behind her back. "Did the people you spoke to seem strange? It's odd to say it, but I don't think they wanted to kill those people. I mean... they weren't sick, and they didn't seem suicidal. Not the way they act when there's a Witch, anyways."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka's eyes turn from her own ring to Homura's as it's set down and placed next to her own Cubes on the table, watching the darkness pulled from the ring and into them. "That's what Kyubey said," Madoka agrees in a neutral tone as Homura mentions Walpurgisnacht. "I think he's telling the truth, or at least he thinks he is."

    She shifts in her chair, looking over to Homura as she paces. When asked about the people Madoka sighs softly, "I'm not quite sure how to explain it. They seemed lethargic, but not tired? Bored almost, in a way. If it was their energy being drained," Like so very many youma tend to do, "they probably would have passed out even if it they didn't see those things, right? So I don't think it was that. I'm really not sure what it was they were doing, though I'm very sure it's good we stopped them when we did."

    Her head shakes, "Not really. They did act a little off like people who are Witch Kissed do, but none of them acted particularly upset." A soft hum, "Actually, they seemed calm, if anything." A soft shrug, followed by a frown. "...destroying those things didn't seem to make whatever happened go away, though."

    After a moment Madoka gets and walks over to Homura, standing nearby. She's effectively at hug range, though she doesn't actually hug her in case she'd rather pace. "Are you okay? I know you wanted to talk with him, and he wasn't particularly receptive." On the other hand Riventon didn't start trying to kill Homura on the spot, which is a plus.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura rubs her chin while pacing, listening to Madoka's observations. "Lethargic... but not quite like an energy drain. We'll have to look more closely when we see them in the future. I'm sorry that I wasn't looking along with you. Next time maybe I'll be able pay better attention."

    She stops her pacing when Madoka comes into hug range, and Homura turns to look at her, tilting her head. For once, she actually looks... confused. Then she... actually smiles.

    "Honestly it went a lot better than expected. Sure, Agera-san was... Agera-san, but I don't think I'd say he was that unreceptive. I wasn't... really looking for words from him, or an immediate response. I wanted him to hear what I had to say... I didn't necessarily need him to say anything back."

    She pauses for a moment, not really realizing right away that Madoka might want a hug, because Madoka never hesitated to take such things from Homura if she wanted them. Homura steps forward, throwing her arms around Madoka and holding her close.

    "It wasn't the exact circumstances I wanted to talk to him in, but it was what I wanted to say. Thank you for trusting me. I hope what I said wasn't upsetting to you. I'll admit that I was being just a tiny bit manipulative to him, but... I don't know. I just..."

    Homura looks down, squeezes Madoka tight, then pulls away enough to look her girlfriend's eyes. "I guess... I mostly hated him because I considered him a threat to you, and while he might still be that sometimes... it's just not the same as the way it used to be. I wanted to establish to him that things were different now. I don't know if I got through to him... but it didn't become a fight, and he didn't attack me, so I think it got through about as much as I could expect it too."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka shakes her head a little, "No, you were getting one set of answers while I was looking for another. I was hoping you would. I might have asked for help if someone was very badly hurt, but that didn't end up being the base."

    Seeing Homura smile comes as a bit of a surprise, and also a relief. "Oh!" she says with a smile of her own, adding a mildly nervous, "Ehehe..." as Homura talks about Takashi being his normal superior acting self. "Okay. He did seem to listen to you. I'm glad you were able to say what you wanted."

    Madoka hadn't wandered over so much because she wanted Homura to hug her, but because she misunderstood Homura's thoughtful reaction as potentially upset and so was offering them. When she is hugged, and closely, she quickly realizes she did want to be held by her girlfriend after all, even it wasn't her original intent. She slips her arms around Homura's waist, holding close and smiling.

    "You didn't upset me at all, Homura-chan. I understand how you feel; I'm glad you were able to talk to him." The squeeze is returned, Madoka pressing in close before tilting her head up to meet Homura's gaze. "It sucks, huh?" she replies after a few moments. "It's easy to hate someone who's obviously an out of control monster, but once you see the person in there you can't just treat him like another youma. But it's also a little worse, in a way, because he should have morals and ethics, but he's still doing terrible things even if he does have them."

    She gives Homura another hug, a warm lingering squeeze that's as much a reward as it is a thanks, "Thank you for giving him a chance. He's given you every reason not to... Thank you for trusting me, too."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura smiles at Madoka, a tinge of sweetness in her eyes. "I guess that only makes us better partners. Division of labor is still teamwork, after all. Both studying those things and talking to Kyubey were important, and I wouldn't have been able to do both on my own."

    Homura... is... feeling a lot of things. Most of them are actually quite positive, but it's still really strange to her. That was an exchange that she never thought could happen, and she somewhat doubts that anyone really expected it. Heck, Riventon came specifically because he thought his pet was going to be attacked. Which was looking to be an increasingly likely scenario for a while there.

    Homura smiles just a bit wider as Madoka says she wasn't upset. She nods. "Good. I'm glad. I'm glad I could say what I needed to without upsetting you.

    Madoka says it sucks, and Homura's smile falls into a concerned frown, eyes turning towards the floor for a moment before turning back to Madoka. "It's not an easy thing to deal with. Hating Riventon was easy, but now that I know he's just some guy in our school, it's different. He's a person, with feelings and dreams and goals. I think that the dark energy does poison him more than he'd ever like to admit, but I also think maybe he's becoming a better person..."

    "... even if it's hard to notice. I mean, he's got a long way to go before I'd consider him a good person, but he's not kidnapping random girls off the street anymore."

    Homura considers Riventon's ethics and morals, frowning a bit at the thought of it. "Yeah... I think the sad thing is... he clearly does have some form of ethics and morals. He just... is so misguided, and way too willing to sacrifice a few for what he considers to be the many. I guess he's a lot like Kyubey in that way."

    Madoka's hug tightens, and Homura is smiling at her again. "Hey, I told you I'd do anything for you, right? That includes becoming a better person. I can say that he started it, and I still think he's very much in the wrong, but it's not as if I haven't been really bad to him in some ways."

    She kisses Madoka's forehead. "Of course I trust you. If anything, I feel like I haven't trusted you enough, but I already trusted you a lot."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka nods, keeping her eyes on Homura's her head tilts up and down. "We make a good team. Today we confronted a new enemy and we were able to work together and overcome it without either of us getting hurt. That's really good."

    When Homura's smile changes into a frown Madoka feels a little bad. She wanted to show Homura she understood as much as just saying the words, but when the topic is a harsh one it does make for difficult conversation. Still, these are things that need to be thought about and dealt with now, so she tries not to be too hard on herself about it.

    "Dark energy scares me," Madoka admits after a little bit. "Not because of how people use it, but because if what it does to them when they do. People get angry and upset enough without having something poisoning their minds." Then with a little sigh she adds, "But at least it seems like it isn't always permanent. Mamoru-kun, Kyouko-san, and Kunzite-kun all had to be saved from it, but I wonder if Takashi-kun will have to be the one who saves himself since it he was born with it."

    Turning more to Takashi's actual personality and actions she leans against Homura, "I wish I could say he was, but he isn't a good person. There must be a better way of learning the things he thinks he has to learn than experimenting on other people. He is like Kyubey in some ways, you're right. He acts like the only way to hurt someone is to injure their body, but hurting their feelings can be just as bad. It's a little strange, since his own feelings were hurt so badly recently. I'm not sure if he doesn't want to admit it or if he really doesn't realize how terrible some of the things he does is."

    Madoka frowns a little as she thinks to the clones he made of Sayaka and Homura. It sounded like Jupiter had the same experience from what Kunzite said earlier, and it seems to have angered her just as much. "Just because someone is an enemy doesn't mean you should hurt them like that. All it seems to do is invite more cruelty."

    But as much as she's focusing on the negative things right now Homura is right. It is a pretty big step up from when he was ambushing girls in alleyways because they had things that interested him, and not just because Madoka was one of them.

    "You're already a good person, but I'll be happy if you become an even better one, Homura-chan. I won't ever say he hasn't given you reason to be mad, but it makes me really happy if you can see past that to the good parts of him, even if they aren't always very clear."

    Madoka closes her eyes as her forehead is kissed, smiling and letting out a happy sigh. Everything always seems a little better when she's close to Homura. "I'll do my best to deserve the trust you're putting in me, Homura-chan."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura nods at Madoka's assessment of their performance. "We have. It's amazing. I wouldn't say it was fun to have to fight, but looking back at how well we meshed together... it makes me a bit giddy, actually. LIke we really are an elite magical girl team."

    'Dark energy scares me.'

    Homura adjusts her hug so that she can lightly brush her fingers against Madoka's back, in what she hopes is a comforting gesture. "It is scary. Everything I've ever seen or read on it has indicated that it's a terrible thing. Yet people will still use it, whether it's so that they can have more power or because they were born with it. It's not something that I think I could ever use. If it's possible to save himself from it, he might figure out a way, but he'd have to admit that it was bad for him, first."

    Homura leans closer to Madoka, nuzzling against her cheek and looking out her window. "It must be hard... accepting that something is bad for you when you've lived your whole life with it, even being born with it. It'd be like if someone told you that your right hand made you evil. Even knowing that it's true, I can't blame him for not wanting to believe it."

    Hurting someone's feelings is as bad as hurting them physically? "Yeah... well, I guess that's especially true for us, but for anyone... pain is pain." Though it's not as if Homura's never hurt anyone's feelings before. "I don't think he really accepts that his actions have consequences. I think he expects the world to bend to his expectations, and any deviation from that is the fault of someone else. I mean... I could be wrong on that, but that's the impression I get from him."

    Inviting more cruelty... Homura lets out a sigh. "It does. I guess... I guess that's the importance of... acting like magical girls." She pulls away again, just enough to look Madoka in the eyes. "We see the cruelty and the hurt and the pain of others, and we reach out to them. We don't hate them for what they do to us, but we try to make things better. We don't spread that cruelty to others. It stops with us. We take it out of the system by not passing it onto someone else. That's less true for Puella Magi than it is for other magical girls, but I think that's also an important thing to do."

    Homura blushes as Madoka says she's already a good person. She's said that before, so Homura isn't really surprised. "Well, true... but I guess... you got mad at me before when I wasn't considering Mami-san's feelings, and I guess I've been trying to get better at that. I guess... in some ways I was trying to consider Riventon's feelings here. I guess I just haven't done that enough. He does have some good parts in him, even if you have to get through all of the bad in order to see it."

    Earn the trust that she's giving Madoka? Homura shakes her head. "You already have. I love you so much. I could never ask for a better partner, or girlfriend. You sold your soul for me, and I want to be worthy of that wish."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka giggles as Homura calls them an elite magical girl team and says that she's giddy. "Hehehe... we'll have to protect people together more often if it means I can make you giddy, Homura-chan." There's a distinctly playful tone in her voice.

    Madoka pushes her cheek into Homura's shoulder as her back is rubbed, relaxing somewhat in her arms. "There wasn't anything like it before, was there? Nothing I can remember, anyway. I think that's how it is going to have to be, too. If he is going to be saved he has to realize it's hurting him, or twisting his thoughts. I'm not sure how much I can help, but I'll do what I can." Simply telling him it's bad for him doesn't work, obviously. It only seems to push him away, which isn't the answer.

    When she feels Homura's cheek against hers she returns the nuzzle, soaking in the comfort that comes from the sympathy and sweetness, feeling better because her girlfriend loves her and cares about her. She tries to imagine her hand being evil and having to cut it off, shivering a little in Homura's arms at the thought of it. "He'd probably feel handicapped without it, because he's been relying on it his whole life. I can't imagine what it must be like. It's terrible... it's almost like he was never given a chance to be truly good in the first place." Though even as she says it she can imagine Takashi getting angry at her for saying such a thing, what with how he remarked not wanting to be friends with people who think him a monster. A monster for having something inside of him that he had no choice over.

    But that... isn't entirely true, or fair. People think he's a bad person because of his actions and the things he's done to other people. Though the time he scared her the most seems to have been out of his hands and against his wishes, there's plenty of other horrible things he'd done to Madoka's friends to warrant her bad opinion of Riventon. She thinks about it but she doesn't say terribly much more about him to Homura, wanting to think over her own thoughts a bit more. She nods a little though, so Homura knows she's listening.

    There's something about Homura calling herself a magical girl, including herself amongst their members and talking about them in such positive light that makes Madoka very happy. It's her accepting herself as a force for goodness and rightness, for stopping the hurting and pain and setting things right. Of being the light in the darkness and the bringer of hopes and dreams. ...okay, she mitigates it a little at the end, but she still says it!

    And that's a long, long way from when Homura was regarding herself as a terrible, horrible person and undeserving of such kind words. How many times had she told herself she was a bad person, hating herself for the things she had to do, and the things she felt she'd failed to do. Madoka knows each and every one intimately, personally, because she's the one who bears those terrible burdens for her, now. She manages to keep tears from her eyes and instead gives Homura a very bright and beaming smile. "Yes it is, and yes we do."

    Then Homura is blushing and with being so suddenly happy Madoka giggles again, cozying up in Homura's arms and twisting from side to side, very likely drawing Homura along for the motion with how they're hugging. "You've gotten very good at considering people's feelings, Homura-chan. It makes me proud to be your partner." She then shakes her head softly, "Even I didn't consider Riventon's feelings, Homura-chan; not when the only feelings he ever showed us were callousness, resentment, and anger. But now we both know better."

    Madoka's smile turns sheepish as Homura corrects her and then compliments her. "Okay... but I'm still going to try, anyway!" She slides her hands up Homura's back until her fingers curl over her shoulders from behind, looking up into purple eyes with sparkling pink ones. "I love you too, Homura-chan."

    It's probably no surprise when she lifts up onto her toes and presses a happy, lingering kiss to Homura's lips.

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura actually giggles now, possibly for the first time since the two of them noticed the Wraiths. "You always make me giddy, but I feel especially giddy every time you remind me that I get to have you as a real part of my life. Whether that's being your partner in battle... or seeing you set up a room for yourself here."

    Homura shakes her head. "No, I never saw anything about dark energy. I mean, Witches are similar, but it's not quite the same. Until he accepts his flaws as flaws, he's not going to get past them. I don't know how much I could ever do to help him, but if you want to give him that chance, then I'll be your partner in that, too."

    It probably says a lot about Homura's dedication to Madoka that's she's even willing to consider helping Riventon at all... but Riventon isn't even the first person who has ever tried to kill Homura, and Homura eventually had to forgive all those others who were unkind or unfair to her in various ways.

    Feeling handicapped? Would Riventon feel that way? Maybe. No, he definitely would. He has so much pride. Stepping down in power might seem unthinkable. "Maybe he hasn't been given that chance, but it's not too late for that chance to be given to him anyways." Maybe Takashi would get angry at hearing such a statement, but Homura isn't going to hold back on the truth when Takashi isn't even around to be offended.

    Homura has decided that 'doing the right thing' actually is the optimal strategy. In a way, it's a sign of how not-cynical this world is compared to the world she was in before. She's embracing the truth of her situation, just like she always has. The truth changed, but she's adapting.

    Maybe it also has the side effect of letting her feel a little better about herself.

    As close as she's holding Madoka, Homura very much is taken along for the ride, giggling as she twists along with Madoka. "Thank you, Madoka-chan. I'm proud to be your partner, too!" She nods as Madoka admits to not considering Riventon's feelings. "It's hard to do that when you already have to consider your own safety. We may have been wrong about him, but it's largely because he lied to us."

    Homura is kissed by her beloved, and she leans in just a little bit more to kiss a little deeper. It's been a strange and in some ways difficult night, but as long as Madoka and Homura are together they can find sweetness in even this.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka is all smiles and happy at Homura's words, "I can't wait to find new ways to make you giddy, Homura-chan. You've spent so long looking out for me, but really this is just the beginning of our lives together." It's easy to look at the average lifespan of a Puella Magi and think that's a ridiculous statement, but Madoka believes it wholeheartedly. She has so many happy memories to give Homura in order to make up for the sad ones she'll probably not believe it if it ever happens! Which is fine, because she has no compunctions against doubling or tripling those number of memories, too. As for setting a room up for herself in Homura's house? "I'm over here so often, and I'm so intent on being a part of your life that I couldn't help myself."

    Back to Takashi she shakes her head, "No, it isn't too late. And if you'd help me I'd be very happy. Even if all I can do is be nice to him at school and try not to hurt him, that's what I'll do. If he ever does decide he wants to change, to try and be a better person I'll be there for him." Until then she just has to hope he doesn't do something he'll regret for the rest of his life or that even she'll find unforgivable in the meantime.

    Madoka is very twisty and wiggly when Homura goes along with her. "You are? There's another reason we make such a good team!" she says cheerfully, starting to be a little silly about it on purpose. The next comment about Riventon is given a nod rather than one in return because once again Madoka is feeling affectionate, and now she's getting more serious about not ruining the playful mood. She steps from side to side in dance like motions as she twists, turning slowly and leading Homura along through the room.

    When the kiss is deepened she sighs happily through her nose and squeezes herself even closer to Homura, playfully lifting her legs off the ground for a brief moment as she holds tight. She quietly enjoys the kissing for several long moments before pulling away just enough to break the kiss. "Do you trust me?" she asks in a playful voice.

    Assuming a 'yes' she takes another couple steps backwards... and falls over backwards! Right onto the cuddle couch, which she strategically lined herself up on. Couches without arms or a back have their advantages, and this is one. She lets out a playful squeak as Homura flops on top of her, and rubs her hands up and down her back, the cloth of their button-up dress shirts rustling together.

    They haven't snuggled together in their suits without their jackets on, right? Time to rectify that situation!

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Homura has every intention of making this happiness last forever. That may or may not happen, but if even something like a lack of Witches brings about another way for Puella Magi to extend their life, it's possible that they really could live that long. Even if the two of them only lived into adulthood, it would be enough to equal out all of the bad times.

    "I love having you over so much. This time with you is so precious to me."

    Just how would Homura help Madoka with Riventon? That's such a strange question. Before tonight, she wouldn't think it possible even if she wanted to. "I don't know if he'd even let me be nice to him, but I'll try to be a bit more accepting of him, and I won't keep you away from him if you care about him. I wouldn't want to get between you and someone who really matters to you. I don't trust his judgement, but looking back at all the times he could have attacked you but didn't... I do trust that he doesn't want to hurt you." That would be... looking at his good parts, right?

    That might be a little odd all things considered, and requires a lot of trust from Homura... but she's confident in her conclusions, and also in her choices.

    Homura is happy to be taken along as Madoka dances around the room, their soft button up shirts brushing against each other the whole time. When Madoka asks if she trusts her, Homura nods. "Always."

    Then Madoka is going back, and Homura is pulled on top of her, landing on the cuddle couch with her beloved. She giggles, adjusting slightly to straddle Madoka. As her back is rubbed, Homura moves her lips against Madoka's, pressing down against her little angel.

    She takes a deep breath through her nose while holding the kiss, and then exhales slowly before breaking contact. "You have the best ideas, Madoka-chan~."

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    If they do make it to adulthood Madoka hopes they never stop being playful and silly with each other. The idea that they could stop being cuddly with each other doesn't even register in her mind, though. As for how long they might live as Puella Magi? She can't see any reasons not to go for an all time world record. So far as she knows there's nothing saying Puella Magi aren't effectively immortal so long as they have the Grief Seeds, or Grief Cubes apparently, to purify their Soul Gems. Right?

    "And I love getting to come over and have lots of sleepovers at your house, Homura-chan. The time I get to spend with you is precious to me, too. Every moment I get to spend with you is a moment I'm happier than I would be otherwise."

    If Madoka is confused and unsure how she can help Riventon, she's doubly confused and unsure how Homura could. Trust between them is something that will have to be not just repaired, but built from the ground up. At least that ground isn't quicksand anymore! "He decided he didn't want to hurt me once he got to know me... so maybe now that we're actually getting to know him we can give him the same courtesy?" It's a half skeptical comment more than anything. Takashi hasn't exactly shown them courtesy in any way, but it is one way to phrase it.

    Madoka doesn't get less wiggly after Homura straddles her, giggling playfully and before making many soft and happy noises as Homura's lips find hers again, rubbing her lips against her girlfriend's and breathing slowly in and out through her nose.

    When Homura breaks the kiss she lifts her head to lean her forehead against Homura's, "My best ideas are the ones that put me in your arms," she agrees. Her head tilts gently from side to side with foreheads pressed, and she looks into Homura's eyes from oh so close up. "My guardian angel Homura-chan~. I can always depend on her to protect my lips from being lonely~," she singsongs, smiling brightly while giving her an extra tight hug, "And the rest of me, too."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    These two love cuddling and snuggling so much that Homura doubts that they will ever stop. It's something that Homura is thinking of calling the Homudoka Cuddle Correlation: The longer a conversation lasts between Homura and Madoka, the higher the chance of cuddles. Homura has no idea what she'd act like as an adult, especially considering that it would mean having spent so many years with Madoka, but she doubts that cuddling would ever stop being a part of the equation.

    "I feel the same way, Madoka-chan. These moments are wonderful, and they're ours to share forever."

    Not wanting to hurt Riventon... Homura can agree to that. She actually didn't intend to hurt him today. She didn't really intend to cause him harm when she set out to find a chance to say something to him, but she was afraid that it would be inevitable. "Yeah... I mean. I might end up fighting him again, but I'll stay away from the um... meaner weapons I could use." Such as napalm. "It might be easier to get along with him if, even if we have to fight him, we don't go out of our way to hurt him."

    Homura giggles at Madoka's comment on their 'best ideas'. "I agree! Those are the best ideas. Cuddling with you and kissing with you are the best ideas, too!"

    She blushes as she's once again called Madoka's guardian angel, smiling and saying, "My little angel, and my savior. As your guardian angel, I'll gladly protect your lips, and the rest of you, from loneliness."

    She shifts around and adjusts herself to get just slightly more comfortable on top of Madoka, and then she leans in to protect Madoka's lips with even more guardian kisses.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    There is one flaw in Homura's postulate, though it's potentially impossible to find in a real world scenario. Though the two talk and converse for hours on end the conversation itself isn't actually a requirement for the cuddling. Like opposing ions a Homu and a Doka in the same room will inexorably be drawn towards one another, and given enough time will almost always end up connecting and creating an immense snuggly reaction with one another.

    Perhaps if chemistry and particle physics was taught by describing atoms and molecules bonds with one another as snuggles and cuddles perhaps Madoka would have been a great scientist.

    "Does that mean I get to hug you and squeeze you and cuddle you and snuggle you forever?" Madoka asks hopefully. "I want to kiss your pretty face and your sweet cheeks and your soft lips forever and ever, too!"

    A soft nod is given, "Riventon is very strong, and fighting him seriously means we can't really hold back... but that doesn't mean we have to be mean about it." It's also the difference about how you act if and when you actually win, Madoka considers to herself.

    Every time Homura giggles there's a little voice inside Madoka's mind that goes, 'Yay!' Perhaps it's no wonder she's so cheerful around her girlfriend. "We must be geniuses to have such good ideas all the time. I bet our Cuddle Quotient is over a thousand!"

    Homura blushes and Madoka simply can't stand it, turning her head and shifting her forehead off of Homura's so she can give those kisses to her blushing cheeks she was mentioning earlier! Two kisses to each blush, to be precise, complete with a little, "Chu! Chu!" to playfully tease, and thus hopefully producing more adorable blushing.

    Of course it's her turn to blush at Homura's playful and romantic words, "Thank goodness! My poor little heart was so sad and lonely before you came along to protect it, but now it's safe and sound, surrounded by your love."

    As Homura shifts around Madoka wiggles beneath her, making it a little easier for her girlfriend to adjust to a comfortable position. Hopefully very comfortable, because Madoka has suddenly decided that her lips are going to need a whole lot of protecting tonight.

    "My hero~."

Homura Akemi has posed:
    Well it's true that long naps and actually going to sleep also has a lot of cuddles, so no talking is not strictly a prerequisite to snuggly times. The attraction between them is certainly magnetic, and the pull that Homura feels towards Madoka is impossible to resist. When it comes to chemistry, they've each certainly got what the other needs for a strong, lasting bond. Madoka certainly never fails to elicit a fiery reaction from Homura.

    If Homura had authority to do so, she'd give Madoka a degree in cuddles, because she's certainly shown mastery of the course material.

    "Forever and ever, Madoka-chan, but don't be surprised if I kiss your sweet lips, hold you tight, and play with your fluffy hair forever and ever, too."

    Fighting Riventon means not holding back, true. Homura wouldn't, if she felt strongly enough about something to fight about it. She nods, but doesn't have much to add.

    Homura giggles at mention of their 'Cuddle Quotient'. "I bet! We're so cuddly snuggly and lovey dovey."

    Homura's blushing does actually get brighter as Madoka kisses her and makes cute kissy noises, and she looks down at Madoka as she's sweetly kissed. She's so blushy, that when she responds to what Madoka says next she actually stutters. "S-so was mine... but not anymore. My sweet little angel has my heart, and she's keeping it in her heaven."

    She lowers her lips onto Madoka's again, kissing her softly and sweetly, over and over. It might be a while before she stops, because she's trying to communicate just how much she loves and adores Madoka through kisses alone. Some are passionate, some are sweet, some are accompanied with cute 'chu' noises, and some suck Madoka's lips between Homura's.

    She smiles as Madoka calls her 'My hero', and she responds with more and more loving kisses.

Madoka Kaname has posed:
    Madoka would be happy to have a degree in cuddles, but only if it meant having to prove just how worthy she was to have it. It'd be a good degree for her to have too, with Homura around it'd get put to good use every day!

    "I won't be surprised Homura-chan, I'll be happy! You can hold me and kiss me and play with my hair as much as you want!" With a playful smile she turns her head so that one of her fluffy pigtails is brushing Homura's cheek and then shakes her head from side to side, "Tickle tickle tickle!"

    More of Homura's pretty giggles are made and Madoka is smiling so brightly that her cheeks would ache tomorrow if they hadn't built up a lot of smiley stamina. "Of course we are, I can't help being snuggly with my super cutie snuggle buddy!" These words are accompanied by Madoka pressing up against Homura and rubbing her hands warmly across her back.

    But then Homura's blushing so brightly and stuttering from being so adorably blushy and Madoka lets out a tiny, "Eeee!" of a squeal, pushing her pink cheek up against Homura's in a warm and blushy nuzzle. "Your sweet heart is the thing I'll anything to love and protect," she whispers, voice only half as playful as it has been.

    But then Homura is kissing her over and over and Madoka is squirming beneath her and returning them with presses of her own lips, meeting and returning those kisses and accepting Homura's love and adoration with all her heart and soul. And her lips, of course with her lips. Because kisses both sweet and passionate alike are truly wonderful from her beloved girlfriend. The mix of cuteness and passion leaves Madoka blushing brightly, giggling and slightly short of breath, hugging onto and clinging to Homura as she's showered with such affection.

    Not merely content to be the recipient Madoka begins kissing back more firmly, "mmm,"ing into them and catching one of Homura's lips between her own when they're sucked on, teasing them with the tip of her tongue. Finally her passion gets the better of her and she starts kissing Homura deeply, all the while tenderly and gently rubbing her back and petting Homura's long black hair. Passion and gentleness at the same time; she couldn't possibly be any happier.
