Couple activity

Kronii strained her voice too much last night
Between screaming at the game and the impromptu karaoke as punishment for ragequitting, she went too hard
"Hmmhmmhmhmmmm hmm" Kroniichiwaaaa, babe
She hummed at you
"Uh... good morning?"
She looked satisfied with your answer and walked away
She left her phone unlocked, looking at it you saw some messages
She chatted with IRyS earlier
"Just don't talk at all, Kronii"
That was the main thing she told her to do, adding in other self-care methods
"Just hum at Anon and do other noises, I'm sure he'll understand!"
Because she's the singer of EN, she listened to her
You pull out your own phone and message her
"IRyS what have you done"
"hm? I dunno what you're talking about, Anon"
"Thank you for the tips, but why'd you go and tell her to only hum????"
"you could consider this an activity you can do as a couple!"
"HOPE you have fun!♥"
She stopped responding to your messages after that
Why is she like this
"Hmm! Hmm!" Hey! Heyy!
Kronii was in the hallway, "talking" to you
She's signaling to the kitchen
"Oh, breakfast, yeah let's go"
She stops you from cooking
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Hmm hmm hm hmm hm hmm" You have to make my tea
She points to her kettle
...She wants you to make her tea?
You don't know how to make it how she likes it, though
"Kronii, just because you can't talk doesn't mean you can't do anything else"
She pouts
"Hmpf!"
Guess she wants to be pampered
"...Alright, fine..."
It's impressive how fast she can go from pouting to smiling
"You're gonna have to teach me, though"
You attempt to understand her instructions conveyed in hums
You screw up quite a bit, you even got burned by the water once
You make sure not to show Kronii what happened, she'd feel awful
Eventually, you manage to make tea exactly the way Kronii likes it
You're pretty sure this would have taken waaaaay less time if she was actually talking
Still, you enjoy having Kronii teach you
She happily takes her cup and sits down to drink
"Hmm! Hm hmhmm hmm?" Hey! What about mine?
She turns to you
"Hmhmm" Coffee
You gesture towards your coffee
You also had a pretty tiring day at work yesterday, why does she get all the fun?
You decide to join in and do the same gimmick she did
She stares at you
She ignores you and keeps sipping her tea
"Hmpf!"
You do the exact same thing she did to you
It's embarrassing but you have to commit
Her lips quiver
She's finding this cute
She gets up
"Hm hmm hm" All right then
You try the same process with her, but since neither of you can speak, it got complicated
You wouldn't be surprised if she tells you later she had to turn back time a couple of times
"HMM HMM HMM?" YOU SURE BABE?
She shouts while holding hot water
"Hmm..." Yes...
Once she got the coffee brewing, she let out a deep sigh
You look at each other and start laughing
You're both thinking this is a very dumb activity
And yet you don't stop
You try to make breakfast, humming at Kronii asking her to give you ingredients
And again, the task takes 5 times longer than it would have normally
Once the coffee was ready, you go and enjoy your breakfast
Afterwards, you continue your day, humming and gesturing at each other to do different things
You help her with the tips IRyS gave her
You burst out laughing whenever either of you screw something up
You let her take a break from helping you for the other meals, you can't torture her that much
At the end of the day, you cuddle in bed
"Hmhmhmhmmmm..." Kroyasumiii...
"Hmm hmmmmm" Good niiight
She reaches out and pulls you closer, getting right next to your ear
"I love youuu..."
Your heart stops for a second
Before you get a chance to reply, she turns around
She presses against your body
You embrace her and fall asleep together

The next morning, she has recovered completely
"Oh yeah, Kronii?"
You call to her while she's walking away
"What's up?"
"That humming thing was a lie"
She doesn't turn around to face you
"Y-yeah? I knew already"
"I thought so, IRyS only did it as a prank"
You follow her to the kitchen, her walking became weird
You go ahead and make yourself a cup of tea
Kronii starts working on some coffee for herself
When you sit down, you notice her staring at her mug
"...Wait"
"Something wrong?"
"...I don't drink coffee"
You look at your own cup
"...Oh, right..."
You awkwardly switch drinks
You take a sip of coffee
"Huh... Just how I like it"
"Yeah... mine's good too"
You look at each other again
You laugh, guess you really learned something from yesterday
You make sure to thank IRyS for that
"I'll order whatever drinks you want for a week"
"a pleasure doing business with you"
Who knew Hope could be such a good wingman
Now sometimes when either of you got a little sick, you'd do this again
You'd teach each other something new about yourselves
Sure, you could just talk but that takes some fun out of it
You even feel you recover faster from doing this
You laugh thinking about how one of your favorite things to do together became humming
Of course, you'd never tell IRyS you kept doing it
It's a couple activity after all
