Seeing that Natsuki was beginning to sort of lean into the hug, she took that as a sign that she didnโt want to leave it just yet.ย Sayori keeps up her embrace, even squeezing just a wee bit tighter for closenessโs sake. Who cares if Monika and Yuri are watching? For the first time in her life, Sayori wasnโt even considering what other people thought of her. All that anxiety, all that negativity, it had all melted away (if only temporarily). In this moment, in this very moment, all she could think about was the girl in front of her, and how utterly adorable she wasโฆ
โYeahโฆthat sounds nice.โ
Truth be told, Sayori hadnโt planned out anything remotely resembling aย โdateโ yet. If it were up to her, theyโd just be in the same spot, hugging each other forever and ever and ever, reveling in the safety and security that is each othersโ armsโฆย
But thatโd probably get inconvenient after a while.ย Plus, theyโd probably need to bathe or something eventually. First world problems, you know.
โMy place sounds like a nice place to start!โ
Hopefully, theyโd be going to someplace moreโฆโdate-yโ down the line, but for now, her house is a good place to start. Itโs familiar, thereโs stuff to do, and best of all, itโs safe. And that particular thing segues quite nicely into Sayoriโs next inquiryโฆ
โActually, I was gonna ask you. Do you want to come over to my house and hang out after club today? We can think of it as a โfirst dateโ of sorts, ehehe~โ
She visibly fidgets when she utters the wordsย โfirst dateโ. She never expected to be the one who could say such a thing in such a context, yet here she is, doing exactly thatโฆfunny how life does that sort of thing sometimes.
.ใ.:*ใปยฐโ Honestly, Natsuki isย thinking about Monika and Yuri, but... mostly because she knows (Monika at least) had been trying to convince Natsuki to just ask Sayori out already, even amidst all of Natsukiโs constant denial concerning her crush.
She knows her friends will support her, and... thatโs kinda weird to think about - she was always so worried people wouldnโtย support anything she did, but now, here she was, hugging... her girlfriend?
Sheโs honestly fighting back tears, keeping up the tough facade she loved so much - she couldnโt let Sayori know this was getting to her.
โRight, a... first date.โ
She sounds uncertain, but only because this is all so alien to her - the onlyย โrelationshipsโ sheโd ever experienced had been in her manga, and theyโd all been pre-established, or built up in some cheesy, over the top romance manga - this was so... casual.
โ... Clubs nearly over. Dโyou... wanna just go now?โ
Privacy sounds nice - out of all the club members, Natsuki trusts Sayori the most, and... would really like to talk to her somewhere with less curious ears to hear all of Natsukiโs deepest fears.
