Summary/Notes: An oversight that leads to Natsuki wondering if she'll ever learn to always check for oil on her overalls.

“Shizuru! Is it all right if I borrow your shower?” yelled Natsuki. She’d stayed over at Shizuru’s and had been changing the oil in her bike that afternoon while Shizuru completed work for University.

“Ara, of course. Natsuki doesn’t want me to join her?”

Natsuki flushed at the mere thought of a naked Shizuru joining her. “N-no, that’s okay!” she sputtered, slipping her work boots off. She could hear Shizuru’s disappointed sigh.

“Too bad… leave your things at the door. I just cleaned up.”

Twenty minutes later, a clean and slightly flushed Natsuki returned to the living room, only to find Shizuru scrubbing mercilessly at a spot on the carpet. “What’s wrong?”

“Natsuki’s things got oil on my new carpet. It won’t come out, no matter how hard I scrub. It just spreads.”

“Shizuru, stop! You’ll make it worse!”

She watched as Shizuru threw the rag down in frustration. “You ruined it!” The older girl stood, and Natsuki caught a glimpse of her face; she looked ready to cry. Without another word, she left the room, leaving Natsuki to face the mess.

It was obvious that she had messed a spot of oil on her overalls. Someday she’d learn to carefully check. Mentally checking off materials, she gathered her supplies and set to work. This was going to take careful maneuvering if she wanted to save the carpet.

Shizuru looked up when a timid knock was heard on the frame of her door. A sheepish Natsuki smiled at her. “I’m sorry, Shizuru. I didn’t realize I had oil on my overalls still.” She was quiet for a few moments. “I got it all out though.” She moved closer.

“Quite the handyman, aren’t you?” whispered Shizuru, pulling Natsuki to her.

Natsuki flushed red, knowing where such a conversation would lead. “Shizuru!”

Hahahah! Yesh, very nicely done! x3

:D Glad you liked. It was pretty fun to do....and I learned how to get motor oil out of carpets... XD

“Quite the handyman, aren’t you?”

:oops: Niiice! Natsuki is going to get rewarded. <3 Motor oil is one of the minor reasons we don't have carpets downstairs anymore (major reason being the damn dog...).

Nice little one shot, Rachy! Thanks for sharing! ^_^
