For Asagao’s 1 year anniversary, I decided to write a little thing about Mimi and her thoughts after she’s been “reformed” so to speak by Hana, Mai, and Kakusu. The four of them becoming an unstoppable team of superb friendship and how Mimi feels about these changes. It’s Mimi and Mai talking in what I hope is an interesting and maybe even thought provoking way.
Thank you, Asagao, for once again inspiring me and helping me through tough times. (Also I put a read more because it’s a teeny bit long!)
The melancholy mood over the school grounds would take a bit to dissipate at this rate, thought Mimi as she stood over the hill trying to ignore the evening chill.
There had been tears at the ceremony as expected, none from her of course, but her friends had had enough for the whole lot of them. It twisted her heart in ways that she would have never thought to be thankful for only a year ago. The fact that other people had this hold over her, that they could influence her and elevate her into someone new…
It felt right.
Wind blew through Mimi’s perfectly sculpted locks, and anyone standing near her would have ducked for cover from her rage had she not been alone. Normally she would be pissed, swearing audibly as her hard hours-long work in front of the mirror was ruined by the archnemesis of fabulousness…nature.
But, for some reason, she didn’t feel like it.
She stood looking at the melting sunset of reds and oranges and pinks, her lip curling and gut churning at some unwelcome thought that she couldn’t really place where or why it had come.
Stupid graduation.
She didn’t understand why she was so upset, it’s not like anyone super close to her had graduated or anything. But seeing Hana’s face as she watched some of the Normal Boots guys get their names called…
At least she had proved to herself she wasn’t heartless at that point, which was enough.
“What’s going on up here, Santos?”
Mimi turned her head slightly to look at the redhead standing behind her clad in an admittedly stunning emerald cocktail dress.
It wasn’t on par with Mimi’s own ivory snow sheath dress, but she looked good. Second place to herself was no small feat after all.
As she was mentally preening, a buffet of wind tore through the girls and slapped them both in the face with their hair. Mimi hissed and swiftly slapped back at the offender, her face reddening as she heard her companion giggle. She looked up with an acid quip dying on her tongue as she took in Mai extending a comb to her, her eyes twinkling.
“Thanks,” Mimi mumbled as she snatched it and hurriedly fixed everything up as Mai stared out at their shared sunset.
There was a pause as they soaked in the silence, Mimi clutching the comb close to her beating heart and scavenging for words that wouldn’t be immediately suffocated under the current atmosphere.
“You’ve changed.”
Mimi shifted to look at her friend as Mai grinned lopsidedly. “As a person, I mean.”
“I don’t think pink is the color of the devil anymore.” She backtracked at Mimi’s smirk. “Not Hana-pink. I meant your pink, like your eyes. Can’t even try to be all poetic and shit around Santos the snooty-pants.” She huffed through a smile and walked over so she could throw an arm around Mimi’s shoulder.
“You’re different than before, like even before when we were friends for a time. Unless my bullshit radar is off or you’re the best actress in the world, you don’t fake everything like you used to.”
They leaned into each other and Mimi felt another lurch in her chest as she listened to Mai breathe. It’s not like I was ALWAYS fake before… But Mai wasn’t entirely wrong and it didn’t matter too much now.
It was in the past.
“I really think you’ve become a better person, Mimi. And we all know who we can thank for that.”
Mimi felt eyes burning in the side of her head. “I mean it wasn’t just her…” She looked away and sighed. “I know, I know. I’ll make sure to buy her a car or something as a thank you.”
Mai mock gasped and aimed a slap at her arm. “And let you one-up my gift giving skills? Fuck that. But seriously, just talk to her okay? I know you’ve apologized and all and have probably had a couple 3 am heart-to-hearts but…”
It was Mai’s turn to avoid a probing gaze.
“Don’t let Hana doubt this, okay?”
Mimi snorted. “I’ve learned my lesson like three times over.” She winced at the slight hitch in her voice and cleared her throat, deciding to confront these feelings she had been so keen on avoiding.
“Mai…”
The aforementioned girl laced their fingers together, prompting Mimi to continue.
“You really meant what you said? About how I’ve changed?” Her voice trembled ever so slightly but she barreled on. The sooner it was out, the better.
“I know I’ve been a…a pretty big bitch. I thought it was safer, that it was easier that way.” She hiccuped and wiped at her itchy nose. Since when had she been crying? Mai pulled her into a hug and the tension in Mimi’s shoulders disappeared almost immediately as she leaned into it.
“And this friendship thing hurts, a lot. Almost as much as the biting loneliness at times.” She giggled through her tears. “I mean my chest has been hurting like all day and I don’t even know why. But…I don’t mind this pain. I’m feeling something and something’s like, affecting me. I care about something…about a few someones so much that the thought of them brightens my world. And the thought of them leaving almost kills me.”
Mai’s grip tightened even and Mimi didn’t feel so unsure anymore.
“I’m not going to screw this up, Mai. You girls are honestly the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You’ve even helped me get closer to Kakusu, the only friend that I’ve ever truly had before this if I’m being honest. And I can’t thank you all enough for how you’ve helped me.”
She smiled sincerely but then pulled back to point at Mai’s face. “But listen to me, Sasaki, this doesn’t mean I’m going to be all smiles and sugar. I’m more of a sour type of girl and sass is my middle name. Remember that.”
They unattached from each other completely and looked around at the inky blue that had crept up on them. The days were really flying by.
“Why don’t we head back to the party? I’m sure the guys have no doubt roped Hana into some kind of mischief.”
“The bathroom first,” Mimi sniffed as she floofed up her hair. “My beauty takes effort, you know.”
“Yeah a whole lot, I bet.” Mai sprinted down the hill as her cheeky laughter reverberated around them, Mimi rolling her eyes with a smile and following at a much more reasonable pace. She couldn’t wait for what the next year would bring.
There was time before their own walk on the stage after all.
