kaeten is naked at the start but WE will IGNORE IT.

here's what it looks like for now ^w^

Ficlet 2 of 28 Flower Power Femslash February Ficlets starring Kaede and her seven girlfriends. Yeah, that’ll work. Probably.

This time it’s TenKaede with camellia, which can represent waiting or longing.

When she finishes training and wants to unwind, her favorite place to go to is the music room and listen to Kaede’s playing.

Tenko still doesn’t know most of the titles of the pieces that Kaede likes to play, but she has gotten to the point where she’s familiarized herself with the songs themselves.

This song in particular, she thinks she knows well enough to maybe generally follow the swift movements of Kaede’s fingers.

Her arms are aching, but her fingers are twitching as she tries to mimic those motions.

She’s sharp, intense, focused, but Kaede plays with her eyes shut and expression serene.

How would she react if kissed—

Tenko very nearly shuddered, and shook her head furiously. Squeezing her hands into tight fists, she flicked her wrist to begin anew.

Now’s not the time to think about that!

Even if it did make her heart ache.

No, no, no! Focus, Tenko, focus!

It was difficult when Kaede’s playing went into a flurry of taps so quick that very nearly at Tenko strain her fingers in tripping over them. Of course, Kaede made it look elegant. Effortless, almost.

Hah... Akamatsu-san...

Tenko’s heart ached but desperately, she continued to try and continue to follow her motions.

The tempo was once again building, the melody raising, and so very briefly, Kaede’s lashes raised just a little so that she could more properly see the keys before her.

Tenko sucked in her breath, and then she too, focused sharply because if there was anything she remembered, it was how difficult this part was.

Kaede played so rapidly that it all blurred, and yet, ever diligent, Tenko chased after her, even as she stumbled and tripped over every other tap. Even if she definitely flubbed her own would-be playing and would have banged against the keys. She persevered.

If anything, she persevered.

Kaede did as well, even as she made mistakes that Tenko recognized, and couldn’t help but smile admirably at as Kaede didn’t let that pause her playing for a moment.

Akamatsu-san really is...

Tenko’s heart followed, pulse tripping over itself just like her fingers.

Akamatsu-san is amazing.

And with one last slam, Kaede exhaled sharply, wringing out her hands. Even though it ached, Tenko hurriedly clapped. Kaede snapped up, turning to her with widening eyes.

“C-Chabashira-san!” she exclaimed, breathless and flushed with excitement. Tenko’s own breath caught as Kaede pushed herself up and practically flew towards her, taking her hands with a tight squeeze. “Did you hear all that?! That was my best attempt yet!”

“I... It sure was...” Despite her beaming grin, Tenko still winced. Kaede perked up and hurriedly let go, dropping her hands and head in apology. Tenko quickly waved her hands. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing, Akamatsu-san! My...fingers just ache a bit... I’ll be fine.”

Kaede nodded and once again smiled. “Chabashira-san, I’ll get us some water, then.”

Tenko swallowed, hoping that Kaede’s sensitive ears wouldn’t pick up on her racing heartbeat.

"they keep tryin ta bite me!!!"

"pfft"

"ain't funny."
