大歌舞伎

Shibuya knew Ookabuki was a bad liar. It always had been easy to see through her whenever she didn’t want to talk about something. Deciding to take the plunge, she thought carefully about what she would say next. “One of the reasons I want you to move in is that we’d have two incomes…..it’d make monthly expenses a bit easier, you know? Not to mention, there’s that money you have saved up that you’re so proud about. We could go out and do all kinds of things with that.”

“Not now.” Ookabuki sighed and closing her eye. “…not ready for that.”

She leaned in, trying to formulate an argument. “I’m ready to take that next step, Tomomi. I’m tired of waiting. I’d be fine with you not wanting to do it if you gave me a more concrete reason, but simply saying you’re not ready after all this time isn’t cutting it for me.”

“I said, not right now.” She growled then turning around. 

Shibuya wrapped her arms around Ookabuki’s waist, rubbing it.

Ignoring the other, Ookabuki was closing her eyes. Somehow whenever Shibuya mentioning about moving in, there’s this sharp pain in her chest. She was afraid, very afraid to take the next step. And she knows Shibuya wouldn’t understand even if she explains it.

Pulling back a bit, Shibuya frowned. “I’m hurt, Tomomi. That was rather underhanded.” Leaning back in, she sighed. “I did….but I’ve been thinking about it- you moving in, I mean- and it just makes more sense. Will you at least hear me out about this?”

"Whatever it is, I don’t want to!" Ookabuki growled, after a few seconds (and seeing the look on Shibuya’s face) she realized her words might came out a bit too harsh; so she added, "…yet…"

During the brief silence, Shibuya sighed, moving off of Ookabuki and laying next to her. She pulled her close, giving her love a moment to calm down. “….can at you at least tell me why, then?”

“I...,” now that she had to think about what to answer, she realized she doesn’t really have a good answer to that. All of her reasons sounded weak, even for her. “I just... not ready yet.”

"Whatever it is, I don't want to!" Ookabuki growled, after a few seconds (and seeing the look on Shibuya's face) she realized her words might came out a bit too harsh; so she added, "…yet…"

She scoffed. “Ha! Hardly! You’re barely here as it is. You wash your clothes, shower, eat, and laze around at my house- in fact, you said yourself the only time you come here is to sleep. What’s your excuse for that, huh?”

“Then maybe we should spend time on our own more, huh?” She countered back with one eyebrow raised.

"You’re ignoring my point. My point is, if you’re at my apartment that often, then you may as well live there." Shibuya huffs, leaning in. "Besides, what are you implying? That we shouldn’t be together?"

"If you keep on being annoying about this then, yes…, maybe we should spend more time alone than together," She answerred with a frown on her face, "Weren't you agreed that this time we're going slow?"

She scoffed. “Ha! Hardly! You’re barely here as it is. You wash your clothes, shower, eat, and laze around at my house- in fact, you said yourself the only time you come here is to sleep. What’s your excuse for that, huh?”

“Then maybe we should spend time on our own more, huh?” She countered back with one eyebrow raised.

She was just about to answering the mail when the door of her apartment already opened from outside. Rolling her eyes, she countered with, “I don’t need bigger ones. This is enough for me,” then she sits down on her bed again while crossing her arms in front of her torso, “And who says you can come in?”

"Yeah? Well, not enough for me." Shibuya looked Ookabuki in the eyes and pinned her on the bed just to make sure she had her attention, kicking off her boots at the same time. "I’ve got plenty of room at my apartment."

Ookabuki narrowing her eyes at Shibuya, knowing what this might lead to. "Well, this is MY apartment, not yours."

"Okaaaaay……"

"Now I wonder why I was being nice to you…" 

"Because you’re supposed to be?"

"Hah!" Ookabuki scoffed and pushed Lizzy away, "Okay… let go of me. You’ve been waaaay too clingy."

Elizabeth stumbled and fell over, letting out a whine and balling up.

Ookabuki sighed and crouched down beside her sister, "I don't even pushed you that hard...," she poked Lizzy's cheek, "Are you okay?"

"Okaaaaay……"

"Now I wonder why I was being nice to you…" 

"Because you’re supposed to be?"

"Hah!" Ookabuki scoffed and pushed Lizzy away, "Okay... let go of me. You've been waaaay too clingy."

"Okaaaaay……"

"Now I wonder why I was being nice to you..." 

"That’s just singing the single by ourselves! These are gonna be singles that are written for us individually by someone else and I’m scared about what may happen!" Elizabeth starts whining, burying her face in her sister’s shoulder again.

"Well… what did Queen said about it?" she asked while sighing and patting Lizzy’s head at the same time, "Have you talked about it with her?"

"No," she mumbles guiltily. "I haven’t…"

"Then you should." Ookabuki rolled her eyes.

"But I’m scareeeed," she whined, clinging to Ookabuki.

"Damn it! Talked to her." Ookabuki patted Lizzy's head for the umpteenth time, "Remember your wedding vow? What did you said that time, huh? I was in my worst state and yet I remember what you've said."

"That’s just singing the single by ourselves! These are gonna be singles that are written for us individually by someone else and I’m scared about what may happen!" Elizabeth starts whining, burying her face in her sister’s shoulder again.
