"Can we get popsicles? Pleaseee!!" Poppy jumped up and down in front of Grusha and Rika.
Rika chuckled. "Grusha, what do you think?"
Grusha was silent for a moment while he was thinking. "I don't see a problem with it..."
"Yaaay!!" Poppy hugged Rika's legs.
Rika pat Poppy's head and smiled at her. "Let's get going then!"
————————————————————————
Poppy walked between Rika and Grusha, as she carefully held the popsicle.
"Mmm, I needed this." Rika savored her popsicle.
Grusha was silent while enjoying his popsicle.
They eventually finished their popsicles while walking around Mesagoza.
"Alright, we should be heading back now, it's getting late." Rika told Poppy.
"Okayyy...." Poppy sighed. "My legs feel tireddd-uh!"
Grusha picked her up and put her on his shoulders.
Rika gave him a soft smile. "Awww, that's nice of you."
Grusha blushed slightly. "I-I don't do it all the time...I just felt like doing it now..."
Rika giggled. "I know that you care for her the same way I do."
Grusha didn't argue with that, she was right. "That's true..."
————————————————————————
Once they were back home, Rika made sure to get Poppy ready for bed.
"I'm..." She yawned. "...not tired..."
Rika chuckled. "Well, it's your bedtime regardless. If you sleep now, you'll feel good in the morning."
Poppy rubbed her eyes and yawned again as she got comfortable in her bed.
"Goodnight Poppy.." Rika said quietly as she exited Poppy's room.
Rika yawned as she walked to her bedroom. "I'm getting tired as well.."
Grusha was already in bed, not yet sleeping, but waiting for Rika.
Rika gave him a soft smile. She first took off her hair tie and then joined Grusha.
As soon as she was next to him, he pulled her close and buried his face in her hair.
Rika blushed. She caressed the side of his face. "Goodnight~.."
He nuzzled his face deeper in her hair. "...'Night..."
Rika comfortably drifted off to sleep, happy about her small family in the form of Grusha and Poppy.
