You's P.O.V.

"Riko, I love you! Please be my girlfriend!"

Thump.

The pair of girls quickly spun around and faced the slightly ajar classroom door. Sighing and placing a hand over her heart, Chika turned back to face Riko. A few seconds later, the burgundy-haired girl returned her focus to her fellow second year.

"C-Chika, I… I love you too!" Riko wrapped her arms around her new girlfriend, burying her head into her chest in an attempt to hide her flushed face. The couple continued to embrace each other, ignoring the sound of footsteps fading in the distance.

…

Stupid You!

You dashed through Uranohoshi's hallways, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't bear to see her friends anymore. Chika confessing to Riko kept replaying in You's mind as if she were watching a movie and rewinding to see it over and over again. Except she didn't want to keep seeing it. The second year didn't want her crush to be going out with another girl.

Stupid You! Stupid You! Stupid You!

As she exited the high school, the brunette came to a sudden halt. She covered her eyes, trying to prevent more tears from spilling out as she noticed where she was about to run to. She couldn't go to Chika's family inn. Although she wanted to be with the energetic leader of Aqours, she couldn't. Her heart ached at the realization she could no longer hang out with Chika.

"S-Stupid You…" she whispered, her voice cracking. She began to trudge home with her shoulders slumped over.

"Y-You!" a voice wheezed loudly. Recognizing the voice, You quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and forced a grin. She spun on one of her heels and leaned over to do her signature salute.

"Hi, Yoshiko! Yousoro~!" You was given dead silence and an annoyed glare by the first year as a response. Swallowing, the older girl continued to fake her smile. "Y-Yoshiko, do you need me?"

"It's Yohane, not Yoshiko! Also, you can drop the act!" Yohane snapped irritably, crossing her arms. You flinched, somewhat intimidated by Yohane's abrupt fierceness. She was use to Yohane claiming her name wasn't Yoshiko, but today, the blue-haired student seemed really upset.

"Ahaha… what act?"

"I know that you are feeling hurt right now! You l-love Chika, right?" Yohane inquired, adopting a softer tone. You's weak smile instantly vanished and water welled at the corners of her eyes. Unable to speak, she simply nodded. "…I knew it. You, please come with me to my apartment." Another nod later, You found herself following Yohane to her apartment in quietness.

…

You stared at her lap, gently biting down on her lip. She was sitting on a couch in Yohane's living room, trembling as she was unable to calm herself. Yohane sat next to her, feeling powerless unbeknownst to the second year idol.

Stop thinking about Chika and Riko! Just move on already! Tears threatened to fall from her eyes again, despite You's struggle to not cry. She clutched her arms as tight as she could as a feeble effort to stop shaking. As a tear managed to escape and slide down her cheek, a sudden whoosh coming from her side startled her. She looked up to see Yohane staring intensely at her.

"You!" she shouted, placing her hands firmly on the brunette's shoulders.

"Y-Yes?!" You squeaked nervously, her eyes wide open. She let go of her own arms, the warmth of Yohane's hands stopping her quivering.

"I-I want y-you to become m-my demon!"

"…"

"…"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

Author's Note:

Hello, this is my first time posting here! I'm really sorry about starting this fanfic with such a short chapter! I have so much I wanted to write in, but I felt like starting off small. I tend to write longer chapters, so you can definitely expect longer chapters in the future. Thank you for reading! :)
