love conquers all

"Yeah, let’s go," Akane agreed, relinquishing a smile of her own.

Akane ran forward a few steps to take Mika’s hand in hers. It felt warm, soft, and pleasant. A sweet scent rose from the young woman’s clothing: Akane liked it. She was a lot like Anri, but at the same time, very different. Like a nicer, friendlier version of Anri, or something like that. The little princess felt safe with her. It was a rare occurrence, since Akane rarely ever felt safe at all anymore. But for some reason, she believed that she and this woman had something in common.

"Onee-chan," Akane began timidly as they departed the apartment complex, strolling aimlessly in the street. "can I show you my sketchbook? It’s in my backpack. I want to draw a picture of you sometime."

(And while looks were deceiving (especially in Ikebukuro), Mika would prefer not to doubt an elementary student.)

The well-thought of girl brought Mika from her thoughts.  Jade hues bore a surprised look.  Onee-chan?  Despite it not being the first time Akane has called her such, it still elicited quite the response (as she had no younger siblings).  Apples of her cheeks were dusted a light shade of pink, despite her attempts to dismiss her excitement from her mind.

"Sketchbook?  Oh~, Akane-chan is talented I see," she cooed, an eager smile on her false visage.  "I'd love to see it!  In fact, can I see it now?"  Their plans were very 'go with the flow' anyways, so it wouldn't affect anything if they stopped to look at these drawings.   

"I'd be honored to have Akane-chan draw my picture," she declared, "anytime you want, okay?  Even now, I don't mind.  Maybe you can draw the two of us together!" It was a sweet gesture, and Mika wanted to give Akane any and every opportunity to draw - she did not know if the child had ambitions about pursuing art even as a hobby, but she thought it best to take a hobby she enjoys now and further develop it.  It wouldn't cause any harm.

I KNOW I JUST CAME BACK FROM A SEMI HIATUS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IM GOING BACK.

My biology final is nEXT WEEK LOL so i made a schedule to study some chapters every day until the 30th

And then after the 30th is further prep for the ap exam (WOOHOO!!) which takes place on may 12th.  I’m sure I’ll go on full blown hiatus until the 12th, but then afterwards I will probably still be on semi-hiatus because I will also be prepping for the ACT in June!! (is it bad to start studying the month before the exam oh well im pathetic)

The month of June though I should be pretty active because I dont care about the rest of my classes lmao I don’t need to study too hard for them (but when finals week does roll along don’t be surprised if I go on another semi hiatus lmao)

 i know, i suck, but im going on vacation tomorrow till friday, so i might be active at night but probably not.  also friday-saturday is sad religious so i cannot be online, then sunday is happy religious but ill probably be celebrating the holiday with family.

and then school starts again ;v;

friday-saturday though ill probably be lurking online so if you see me reblogging pictures or ask memes (send me asks cc;) its because im on my phone.  i might even reply to short threads maybe??? though expect iconless, crap format with the possibility of them being reblogged as links because i cant tell if theyre text posts or links on mobile and aah we’ll see

 ”I just can’t quite put my finger on it! Something about you just feels so familiar!” Linda dropped the subject and hugged the shirt in her arms. Maybe it was time to let go of those memories. Though, something told her they might stay with her forever. No time to dwell on those feelings when there was perfectly normal and new company in front of her. 

             ❤; "Likewise!" Mika replied with a smile.  Watching her hold onto the article of clothing, Mika quirked an eyebrow.  "You should try it on now, I'd love to see you model it!"  It may have been an odd statement, but Mika was a bit excited over it.  That, and she needed new topic of conversation.  She couldn't help but find it odd, however, at how she clutched the shirt so.  As if someone would take it away from her.

The little princess kept one hand around her schoolbag as she bowed to the older girl. As Anri wasn’t present, there wasn’t really any need for either of them to hang around. Truthfully, Akane knew it was better to be with a companion than alone, especially around this neighborhood. But she still didn’t know if she could trust Mika…

Honestly. A friend of Anri’s? Of course she was trustworthy! 

But what if she was lying about their friendship…?

Akane studied Mika’s pleasant face carefully. She seemed like such a friendly girl. The sort of girl who’d hate to lie, and who would never want to make others unhappy. Akane could related to these aspirations… 

"M-Mika-onee-chan…" She began cautiously, "Where are you going to go now? Because…I have free time. And I think I’d-" She swallowed. 

Was it alright to say this? Should she? Maybe she should…

Smile still in place, Mika nodded in agreement with her suggestion.  "I like that idea!" she chirped, and paused to think.  Where should she take a young girl like her?  Surely she wasn't that old that she had forgotten a child's interests.

"Ah, let's see~..."  Thinking aloud, Mika crossed her arms under and chest and considered her options.  "I don't have any plans for the day, so let's just take a walk around the city, hm?  And if we see something we like, we'll check it out!"  It was a simple plan, but it did not limit themselves to either's interests.  

"It's a nice day after all, so let's take advantage of it with a nice stroll, hm~?"  It had been raining nonstop for most of last week, so a day of sunshine was truly a blessing of sorts.  And if she remembered correctly, the forecast only called for more rain, so it was best to soak in some sun while it lasted.

      ❤; She remembered him all too well - his seemingly good intentions in helping her hide from her sister were actually meant to benefit himself.  Many of the troubles she had during the beginning of her relationship could be partially blamed on him, for he was involved.  And the more information she gathered about him, the more and more she felt disgusted in ever placing her trust in him.

"It’s nice to meet you, Mika-san. I’m Akane."

Just Akane. The little princess was through with revealing her surname to people. The less individuals knew, the better. She squared her shoulders and tightened her jaw. 

"I didn’t know Anri had more friends," Akane mentioned, "but I haven’t been to see her in a while. We’re not sisters, not really, but we have the same uncle."

She failed to add that the “uncle” in question happened to be completely unrelated to either girl. He was a construct Akane had invented. Whether Akabayashi and Anri played along with this fantasy was up to their discretions. 

      "That makes the two of you cousins then," Mika explained with a soft smile.  "Figures you were related somehow - your hair is practically identical.  Ah, I'm glad Anri-chan has close relatives like this..." she mused, a warm feeling rousing in her chest.  She was genuinely happy for her friend, but simultaneously disappointed in herself for not knowing such a crucial piece of information.  Even if Anri was private about her life, this was a fact that someone like Mika, who once filled the role of best friend, should know.

      Ah, not that Mika was always open to Anri - the events that occurred just a year or so ago were kept hidden until she was figured out.  Discovering love and pursuing love are definitely areas in which Mika should have spoken to Anri about - not looking for advice by any means, just talking about her emotions.  If Mika didn't go as far as she did for love, then she was sure that she would have confided to Anri.

      The young girl's next statement also amused her, and caused her eyebrow to raise.  "Oho?  I prefer not to have you play messenger - besides, I'll see her in school soon enough anyways."  What Mika need to discuss was not much of a priority, so it could indeed wait until the weekend ended.
