"T-there, harder... -ah!"
"Okay you're doing that on purpose"
"No, it really hurts! And you're making it weird by bringing it up!"
"Sorry, sorry, I'll stop bringing it up"
You were stood over Name in her living room, trying your best to be a masseuse for the day.
She had called you over to her house earlier, complaining that her legs and back were aching. Apparently, she had followed Moona's workout routine on top of hitting the gym earlier in the day, and figured a massage would help alleviate the pain.
You pushed down firmly and rubbed where she instructed you to.
"Is... this good?"
"Mmm, mmhmm"
"And remind me again why I have to give you a back massage?"
"It's punishment, for writing weird stuff about me all the time."
"You know I'm not the only one writing about you all the time, right?"
"Hmmm."
"I'm just saying, maybe there are other people who could potentially be doing this?"
"Yeah I'll think about it" she said, though by the tone of her voice, you could tell she had already made up her mind.
She rolled herself over and sat upright, rubbing the front of her legs down.
"Alright, that'll be all for today. Ah, I'm exhausted, I need to go take a nap..."
She pushed herself up with her arms before suddenly falling back onto the sofa.
"Huh? That's weird..." she tried once again, to no avail.
"You okay Name?"
A look of concern crept over her face.
"I-I can't walk... my legs are all cramped.... I'll have to crawl all the way to bed..."
Her eyes darted over to you for a second "Unless..."
She fidgeted, trying to avoid looking you in the face.
"Okay, since you still owe me, c-could you..." her cheeks began to turn red "Carry me to my room, please?"
You stared at her for a moment, waiting to see if she was just messing with you.
Was the workout really that hard, or was she just looking to get more material for her stories?
From the way she was sitting though, it really seemed like she was spent.
You let out a sigh "Fine, I'll carry you. But after today we're even, okay?"
"...okay..." she replied sheepishly. She looked the other way as she put out her arms.
You slid one arm under her knees and the other across her back and lifted.
Name awkwardly wrapped her arms around your neck and nodded towards the hall.
"It's... down this way..."
You carefully made your way towards her room, being careful not to bump into any walls or furniture. Despite carrying another person, walking was a lot easier than you imagined it would be.
"You're surprisingly light" you remarked, breaking the awkward silence.
"Huh!? Don't say that, idiot!"
"What? Why? It was a compliment..."
"Because, It's embarrassing!"
She buried her face into your neck and clung harder to your shirt, the heat from her face burning against your neck.
"Sorry I brought it up then..." ("I thought girls like being told they're light") you thought to yourself.
You entered Name's room and made your way over to her bed.
"There, are you good?" you said as you laid her down.
"Yeah, thanks..." she said, still trying to avoid looking you in the face.
"You know, you probably could've just slept on the couch?"
Her face twisted in embarrassment. "Ugh, why didn't you bring that up before?"
"Or maybe you knew and just wanted to be princess carried?"
"That's- aaaaaa!" She yelled into her pillow and kicked her legs against the bed.
Seeing her react like this made you feel like it was worth coming over after all.
"Well then, since we're even, I guess I'm good to go, right?"
Name stopped kicking and lowered the pillow from her face.
"...there's one more thing I need from you still" she said, peeking at you from behind her pillow
"What, you want me to tuck you in?"
"Could you come here please?" she motioned you closer with her hand.
You made your way to her bedside, uncertain what she was trying to do.
"What is it?"
"Closer..." she said, now staring into your eyes.
You held your breath as you leaned down towards her. She put out her hand and pulled your head in close, whispering into your ear
"Could you give me a goodnight kiss?"
You quickly pulled away from her.
"W-what?! What the heck are you talking about!"
She grinned at you "Ehehehe, I'm just kidding, dummy~ You should see the look on your face!"
You could feel your cheeks heating up. You quickly turned around to hide your embarrassment.
"Whatever... just go to sleep already!"
She closed her eyes "Okay, next time then..." she trailed off.
You turned around and stared at her "Wait, what was that?"
The only response you got was the sound of soft breathing, as she was already fast asleep.
You shook your head and made your way to the door, taking one last glance over at Name.
"I wonder when the next time will be…" you thought to yourself as you turned off the lights and gently closed the door.
