“Thank you, Sayaka, tonight was wonderful!” Yumeko exclaimed, planting kisses on Sayaka’s cheeks, one after the other. “You’re sure you’ll be okay getting home?”
“Y-yes, thank you Yumeko,” said Sayaka, stumbling through her fluster. “I’ll see you soon!”
She turned and hurried up the path, turning onto the street. She eventually came to her own home, where she was able to change out of her going out clothes and relax. Then, her phone buzzed, and she reached out to grab it. Midari’s name stood out in white against her dark home screen. Sayaka sighed and unlocked her phone.
u literally just went out with yumeko lol
It wasn’t a ‘date’ Midari. We just went out for lunch and to see the blossoms, that’s all
sounds pretty romantic tbh. there are always couples by the blossoms
Sayaka paused. There had been other couples around. Mainly straight ones, but the occasional gay and lesbian couple watching the trees come to life. Her and Yumeko shared what felt like a secret smile with a couple of girls they’d met, like they were part of some kind of club. It had felt nice, walking through the centre of it all, her and Yumeko hand in hand… but it was as friends. There wasn’t anything else there.
aw cmon don’t go quiet now
did u do anything? like what type of stuff was she saying?
Well she did compliment my outfit
hmmm that might’ve just been her being nice
She said she liked how the sun reflected off my hair. And she said my eyes were really pretty and unique
We also held hands by the blossoms. It was really nice
oh my fucking god sayaka igarashi u are the definition of useless lesbian
i mean this isn’t even the first time
u and kirari pine for each other so bad it’s funny. and u let mary take u to the cinema that time
Hey me and Mary are friends!
there is a pic on her instagram if u w ur head on her shoulder ffs
then there was the time u bought saori lunch at school and yumemi was gonna murder u
What? I didn’t mean anything I was just being nice
u got any more dates planned
I’m going out with Miroslava for dinner next weekend if that counts
omfg you’re dating the presidents cousin
Whatever. Call it what you want
Sayaka slammed her phone down, storming off to get a bath and try to put Midari’s stupid suggestions out of her head. The way she went on it made Sayaka sound like she was dating every girl at Hyakkaou.
Miroslava Honebami was beautiful. This was Sayaka’s overriding thought as she walked nervously to meet the taller girl. She’d never thought they were that good friends, but if Miroslava wanted her here she was more than happy to come. Miroslava turned at the sound of her approach, her light green eyes sweeping over her ‘date’ for the evening.
Sayaka almost scoffed at her own thoughts. She hadn’t been able to get Midari’s messages out of her mind all week, even if they sounded ridiculous on paper. Even when she saw Midari in school, she’d get a knowing look and an almost unhinged grin. This grin was at its widest when Midari saw her eating lunch with Yuriko. Yuriko didn’t pick up on Midari - too wrapped up in showing Sayaka an old pottery piece, comparing its beauty to Sayaka’s. Or something like that. Apparently two people can’t eat lunch together and not be girlfriends.
“Sayaka, you look stunning,” said Miroslava, her normally stoic facade receding slightly. “I’ve really been looking forward to this evening.”
“Me too, Miroslava, I hear the food here is really good!”
An almost puzzled look crossed Miroslava’s face, but it disappeared as a waiter approached to take their booking. As he walked toward their table, Miroslava gently took Sayaka’s hand to guide her through the shallow forest of table and chairs to her seat. Sayaka smiled at the girl as she sat opposite.
They ordered, talked, drank, and ate, and as the evening progressed Sayaka felt more abs more able to relax into their conversation. Miroslava hadn’t wanted her here as a date - Midari was just reading into things too much. Being in a dungeon instead of class will do that to you.
“So… you seem very popular these days,” said Miroslava, picking her words carefully. “I’ve seen pictures of you with Jabami and Saotome recently, and there’s that time you sat flirting with Yumi for half an hour the other day. So what’s your goal? You thinking of the election?”
“What? No! I just like having lots of friends, that’s all. I’d never betray Kirari. And flirting with Yumi? We just talked, is that what counts for flirting now?”
“Well, she seemed like she was leaning in a bit, she wasn’t exactly observing personal space. And you weren’t exactly stopping her.”
Miroslava looked almost dumbfounded, and excused herself to the toilet. She came back, they talked about other things, and left. Miroslava made a point of paying. As they stepped outside, she took Sayaka’s hand in both of her gloved ones, and gently kissed her on the ring finger.
“I hope we can do this again sometime. Goodnight, Sayaka,” she said, quietly, before moving away into the evening.
As soon as Sayaka stepped through the door she felt her phone vibrate.
what sort of stuff did she do
Fine. She kissed my hand and told me I look stunning. Is that what you want to hear?
so did yumeko. and mary. and half of campus
No, you’re reading to much into it
Sayaka thought about it for a second, and a quick series of images flashed through her head. She felt Miroslava’s hands cupping hers and Yumeko’s lips on her cheeks. She saw Yuriko’s pottery and Yumi gently leaning into her, feeling the distance between them shrink. She felt her head rest on Mary’s shoulder as the film played insignificantly in the background and heard Saori’s laugh ring in her ears. She nearly dropped her phone as the realisation hit her.
