Hana bounced happily up and down as she pressed her thumb into the tickets in her hands, she quickly embraced Lucio, still bouncing.
"Lucio! How did you even get these tickets?! I thought they were sold out everywhere?" She questioned, Lucio just hugged back and said
"I've got my connections! Don't underestimate me!"
He gave a hearty chuckle, and Hana released him, staring down at the tickets again.
"This is super sweet Lucio, I'm really glad to see there's no hard feelings."
She smiled and held up a peace sign. Lucio just laughed and wrapped an arm around her.
"If I had hard feelings with every person I dated in the past, I'd be a mess! Live and let live Hana!"
excitedly wrapped an arm around Lucio.
"This is gonna be so awesome!"
Days passed agonizingly slow, and the day of the concert finally arrived, only there was one problem.
"What do you mean you can't make it?!" Dva yelled distraught.
"Hana, please calm down, I'm sorry. My managers called last minute and need me for a shoot, isn't there anyone else you can invite?"
Dva just huffed and then sighed.
"No.. I don't know anyone who would like something like this."
"I'm sorry again Hana, I hope the concert is good though! Take lots of photos for me okay?"
"Alright.." Hana said with a sulk before hanging up the phone.
She teared up a little bit, before rushing to her bathroom to wipe her eyes.
"Okay. I'm gonna go to the concert, and enjoy myself. I've been wanting this.." She quietly tried to reassure herself.
Dva drove herself to the concert, and waited in a long line of people to get inside, the area was filled with loud chatter and loads of people walking around in groups. Hana tried desperately to enjoy herself, but was brought down by the fact that she was here alone, and knew nobody.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice, she ignored it at first, but then realized the voice was directed at her.
"Hey, are you lost? You look lost." The woman said with a chuckle, she was somewhat taller than Hana, and her head was shaved on one side, the other side had medium length hair that was dyed purple at the tips.
Dva just slowly looked up at her. "Ah um, were you talking to me?"
The woman just smirked and gave a gentle laugh.
"Yeah, you! You look either really lost or really sad, and neither of those things are a mood for this place miel." She placed her hands on her hips and leaned down a little bit to get a better look at the short girl.
Hana just pouted.
"Yeah I'm in the right place! I'm just.. I was supposed to be here with a friend, Lucio, but he had to ditch last second, I don't want to be sad about it but.." Hana began to tear up, and the taller woman immediately went to wipe her tears.
"H-Hey come on now! A concert like this is no place for tears." She crossed her arms and looked around briefly before staring back at Hana. "Listen, if it'll make you feel better.. I'll stick around with you for the concert, being alone.. Really is mierda."
Dva instantly perked up.
"R-really?! You'd do that for me?" She paused a moment though and then spoke again. "You want something don't you? Because of my fame?" She crossed her arms and looked down.
"Fame? What are you talking about?" The taller woman tilted her head in confusion. "Are you a celebrity or something?" Suddenly it clicked. "Ooh. You did mention a Lucio, you mean THE Lucio." She stopped, and removed 's sunglasses. "Hana Song, I see.. .. Well, no, I don't want anything, come on now! We're gonna miss the concert if we sit around here talking all day."
The woman began walking and Hana followed closely behind, putting her sunglasses back on.
"H-Hey!" She piped up. "Who ARE you anyways? And why did you even approach me if not for recognizing me?"
"Me? I'm nobody really, but you can call me Olivia, or Sombra, preferably the second one. And why did I come up to you? Well.. I just thought you were cute querido."
Dva blushed at the comment and looked away trying to hide her face.
Sombra looked back, giving a smirk before she continued towards the concert hall.
Once inside, the pair found their way into the hall, they waited patiently for the music to start. The band began to play, and the crowd of people went wild.
Hana began jumping and tip-toeing to try and get a better look at the stage, but no luck.
"Grr.. Curse my small legs. Ugghh!" She groaned and fiddled with her hair anxiously. Sombra immediately looked over to Hana, and pondered for a second. She then crouched down, looking up at Hana.
"Hop on my back, you'll get a better view that way." Sombra gave a gentle smile.
"O-On your back? Are you for real?" Dva said, a blush creeping on her face.
Olivia just scoffed and made a head motion. "Come on, you DO want to see, don't you?"
Hana contemplated for a moment, before she looped her legs around Sombra's shoulders, and the taller woman stood again. "Better?" She inquired.
Hana felt like her eyes were full of stars, she was taken aback by the band that she could ACTUALLY see now. She crossed her arms on top of Sombra's head, arching her back to a slouch, and placed her head on her arms, to which Sombra just gave a gentle laugh.
"Comfy, Hana?" She said softly, to which Hana just giggled.
"Thank you Sombra. I can see everything now."
The concert ended, and Sombra began to walk, Hana still on her shoulders.
"H-Hey! Sombra let me down!" She protested meekly.
"Oh, pobrecita." Olivia said mockingly. "Stuck on a tall girl's shoulders?"
Dva just groaned lightly, glaring down in the process. "Just let me down Sombra!" She repeated.
"Okay okay! I'm just messing with you miel." Sombra crouched down again, letting Hana get off and adjust herself. "Can't have a little fun pendejo?"
Hana just pouted, before speaking up.
"Not very nice.."
"Ah. ¿Tu entiendes español?" Sombra said.
"O-Only a little bit! I.. Understand more than I can actually speak." Dva responded quietly.
"Ah entendido. So, what are you doing after this?" Olivia asked with a smirk.
"Oh um.. I have to get home, my friend wanted me to show him photos and tell him how the concert was."
Sombra just looked away, before muttering. "Yeah, your 'friend', I understand. He ditches you, and you still go back to him, sounds more like a boyfriend to me."
"Hey! It's not like that Sombra! Him and I.. We did date in the past.. But it didn't work out, and him and I have just been through so much together. I don't want to start breaking off our friendship over stupid trivial stuff like a photo shoot that his manager set up for him. Listen, I've had a really good time tonight, but I need to go." Dva turned and began to walk off, Sombra called out to her but she kept walking.
Hana walked all the way out to her car, and then felt a soft hand on her shoulder.
Sombra was huffing, she took a moment to catch her breath, and then stood up straight. "You are really persistent in what you do huh? Must be a celebrity thing. Anyways." She pulled out a small box and handed it over to . " Si alguna vez me extrañas, ábrela. I'll see you later, Hana." She proceeded to run off.
"If I miss you?" thought to herself. "Is she.. flirting? ..N-No! No way!" She opened the door to her car, and began to drive, sticking the small box into the glove compartment.
Once she made her way home, Lucio was already waiting at her apartment, she had asked him to meet her there, and had let him know when she was on her way home.
"Hana! Woman of the hour! How was the concert?" Lucio cheered.
Hana just have a small giggle and sat down on the couch next to him.
"The concert was.. Really fun, I probably would have enjoyed it more if my best friend was there though." She gave him a teasing glare.
"Alright alright, I'm SORRY Hana, but it couldn't be helped, next time I'll be there one hundred percent. Sorry you had to spend it alone though."
"Oh, I didn't spend it alone." Hana chimed in nonchalantly.
"No?" Lucio questioned.
"Nope, I met a girl there, she was really nice! She let me sit on her shoulders so I could see, it was really fun! I'm glad she did too because when she approached me, I was on the verge of tears."
"I just thought you were cute, querido."
The words echoed in Dva's mind, "Cute?" she said quietly to herself.
"Hana? You alright? You're zoning out."
Hana quickly picked herself up from the couch and said "I'll be right back!" before rushing out the door, and back to her car. Lucio ended up following closely behind out of concern.
"Hana?! Really what's the matter?" When he caught up to her, he watched as she pulled a small box out of her car's glove compartment, she slowly opened it to reveal a folded piece of paper.
"Call me, xoxo." Followed by a phone number.
Dva's face went completely red as she stared at the paper, Lucio glanced over her shoulder and gave a small smirk.
"You got some girl's number? Wow Hana, didn't think you were such a card."
"S-She chased after me and just gave it to me! I-I don't know! I didn't realize she was flirting with me!" She placed a palm on her forehead. "God I'm so dense!" She said, her face still completely red.
Dva made her way back inside, told Lucio about the concert, and he left soon after, saying his goodnights. She pulled the piece of paper out of her pocket and stared at the number on it. She quickly pulled out her cell phone and began dialing the number, it rang a few times, and then a few more, just as she thought Sombra wasn't going to answer, she picked up.
"Hello?" Sombra said.
"H-Hello? Sombra?"
Sombra immediately perked up when she heard Hana's voice.
"Hana! ¿Ya me extrañas?"
"I-It's not like that! I wanted to call and make sure you didn't give me a fake number.."
"Aw, now how could I ever give a fake number to such a cute little lady like yourself Hana?
"You're the cute one." She muttered quietly.
"What was that?"
"N-Nothing! I'm going to bed, bye!"
Just like that Hana hung up the phone, she ran to her bedroom and climbed into her bed, hiding her face in her pillow. She heard a buzz on her phone, she picked it up and saw it was Sombra.
"Goodnight! :)" It read.
paused, thinking of an appropriate way to respond after just hanging up on her.
"Goodnight."
