A slice-of-life, somewhat relatable story exploring the depths of sexuality, teenage hormones, and obviously, love.
Thank you for clicking onto the story! It's been too long since I've been on this site and boy, does it bring back memories of my beloved Konosetsu. I don't exactly know where I'm going with this story, but hopefully, you readers will stick around for the ride. If you have any thoughts, feel free to review!
Prologue
The topic of "sexuality" was almost forbidden to be spoken about in the Konoe household.
Of course, Konoka wouldn't know for sure - since she hasn't actually brought up the subject to be talked about - but with the way her maids and "higher class" men looked at Setsuna with darkened eyes and regretful glances (mostly awkward ones though), Konoka had an idea that any sexuality other than the one considered "normal" for their certain sex was not to be spoken about in the household.
And because of this, Konoka found her home to be colder than she had last remembered and more closed off than ever when she finally returned back to Kyoto for a visit after finishing her second year in highschool. Setsuna, of course, had followed in her steps, causing great pressure to be put on Konoka's shoulders as she worried about her companion's stress level.
Surely Setsuna should've realized by now how differently she was looked at nowadays, regarding her more sex-linked attractions than her half-demon attire compared to the past.
To keep it simple...
Setsuna liked girls.
As in, females.
As in, human beings that do not have a ball-pin hammer, but instead in its place, a secret garden.
It shouldn't have surprised Konoka, since she's had an idea since they were young, but the fact that Setsuna had came out not only to her, but the whole class in the middle of a lesson, it had caused some shock to her. The class too was turned into utter chaos as Negi -age 11 at the time- tried his best to squeak his voice over all the chattering girls who had decided it was a good idea to jump on Setsuna all at once.
However, the flying questions couldn't be answered properly for poor Setsuna had already fainted by the time "I'm gay" had slipped out of her mouth.
That day was rather...interesting, if Konoka had to describe it in one word.
Yet, despite the chaos and unexpecting revelation, Konoka didn't see anything different about Setsuna afterwards. She was still the same blushing bodyguard who vowed her life to Konoka as always - though Konoka wished Setsuna would respect her own life more -,and stuttered or fainted in the situation of a teasing ojou-sama.
Konoka didn't see any difference in regards of her bodyguard's personality. Setsuna was still the same ole Setsuna. The confession didn't change much at all. No bullies at school bothered Setsuna about it or anything; the majority couldn't of cared less or supported her.
The calm after the storm was definitely calm and Konoka thought that was good.
Great actually.
Lovely.
Konoka was reassuring herself about that.
. . .
Well, maybe one thing did change.
And that was that Sakurasaki Setsuna was a whole lot more attractive towards the female population.
That bothered Konoe Konoka.
A lot.
