mion sonozaki ♔

Keiichi blushed at how she was reaction to the kiss, it was almost like she was in a trance. They just stand there staring at each other as he feels her breath hit him with each word she mutters to him “that depends on you” he says turning her body around so she could be more comfortable. face to face, he can’t stop staring into her eyes. The memories of everything they had done in their relationship running through his mind as he somewhat leaned forward, but still not planting the kiss. this time, it was her choice.

Mion had to resist the urge to cover her face and hide the redness that she knew was becoming more and more visible. When she had imagined what dating her friend would be like, things like shopping and amusement parks were all that had ever come to mind. She knew Keiichi was bold, but this was a side of him she never expected. Even after experiencing it many times, the girl was still reduced to a stuttering mess whenever he behaved that way. 

"I-I-I… uh…"

As usual, she was completely tongue-tied. Mion wanted to take initiative so badly, but shyness towards romantic situations was simply part of her nature. Perhaps the best way to cure it was to face the problem head-on, she thought. Immersion therapy, if you will.

Keiichi smiles at her shyness, it was a valiant attempt to fight back, but he was starting to learn her tricks. Poor Mion, she may not win this kids of arguments anymore. “What? Do you doubt my abilities? Cause It was you who taught me” he says with a grin and slight blush due to the proximity.

When she tries to bring the conversation back to his ‘payment’ he sighs and pulls her face into a kiss, still behind her, and holding her tightly. He keeps himself pressed to her before breaking the kiss “I think I’ll take for now”

"O-Oh... Okay..."

That was pleasant. Especially sweet since it was their first kiss in a long time. Mion's excitement to have him back grew nearly tenfold when she suddenly remembered 'oh yeah. We do that sometimes, don't we?' Playing games was fun and all, but nothing beat being kissed by Keiichi. Not that she was about to voice that thought out loud or anything. 

Mion popped up from her seat on the couch and rushed to answer the door. She hoped more than anything that it was the package of new costumes she had ordered for the club. Surely Rika and Satoko would look adorable in the maid outfits she picked out. 

"Please be my packa— Oh. Kei-chan. Long time, no see."

Mion froze up when he embraced her from behind. Even though they had been together for months, his advances still caught her off-guard sometimes. Perhaps his absence had made her forget just how forward Keiichi could be as a boyfriend. Sure things had been awkward and embarrassing in the beginning of their relationship, but at this point she should have learned to just expect this behavior, right? After all, it wasn’t like she disliked it.

Mustering up her voice, the girl responded as cooly as possible.

keiichi groaned as he rubbed his feet from the pain, he feels lucky his bones didn’t break from the amount of force his ‘sweet’ girlfriend was applying to them. “I’m sorry…It was my mistake…I’ll find a way to make it up to you” he says as he pulls a box from his back pack “Like this. Remember those games you asked me for? I managed to find some of them” he says with a gentle smile.

"Whoa! I can't believe you got this one! What a find! The club is gonna love this... Do you remember how much these cost? Let me pay you back, Kei-chan! I can pay you back double if you want! Hahaha this is great!" 

Finally, she opened the door completely and beckoned him to follow her inside the house.

"Please be my packa— Oh. Kei-chan. Long time, no see."

She gave the door one finally yank, and then finally released him. It was probably time to stop being so standoffish anyway. Mion would be lying if she said she hadn't missed Keiichi terribly. Or that her heart didn't skip a beat when she first saw him standing there moments before (even if she had managed to hide it.) 

"I guess I have no choice but to forgive you, Kei-chan. But try not to be so dense next time! All of us were genuinely concerned! Always tell us before you leave, even if you think it's only a short trip."

She smiled at him sweetly, a sign that the hostility was over.

The heiress felt a soft touch to her back. She immediately noticed that it was not a human hand. Something harder, perhaps?

"Huh?" the girl asked, turning around.

Chopper could only smile wider as the girl said that she was going to be the leader some day. Having such a high-ranking friend was always nice, even if Chopper was too nice to use that to his advantage. It just made him feel special.

"Okay then, Mion-chan! Do you wanna come with me to my tent?" He asked rather excitedly, pointing toward a nearby camping tent in the distance down the forest path. "It’s comfier than standing, and it’s shady too!"

Well that’s slightly sketchy… An isolated tent in the forest… Not the most inviting location. However, Mion was not about to judge her new friend or many any assumptions. And besides, if anything weird did start to happen, she knew martial arts. But perhaps she was being too paranoid.

It would be nice to have someone to eat with that evening. Usually Mion would share dinner with her grandmother, however lately Oryou had been spending that time with the rest of the village council in order to plan for the upcoming festival, leaving the Sonozaki heiress alone for her meals.
