Description: This little story is just inspiration from This post and This post. I really hope AMM and Nins catch this…
It was a wonderful early evening on the Skrillmau5 ship.
A young woman looking around her 20s lets the wind flow freely through her long beautiful flowing black hair watching the sun getting consumed by the salty sea, various colors shining through the sky. A smile slid across this young woman's face.
Meanwhile, there was another girl watching her. But not just any girl, a half human, half lica girl. She was staring at the woman who was staring at the sky and sea. She was mesmerized by her, the way her hair blew in the breeze, the way she stood, the way she walked, the way she let out a sigh of satisfaction and contentment. Her and the young woman have been friends for a long time, although the girl had different feelings for her, and it wasn't a friendship feeling either.
"D-do I 'like' like her?" thought the girl. "I-I do! B-but how will I tell her? How will she react? She'll probably get weirded out and hate me."
These thoughts had her blushing as she continued to stare at the young woman. She grit her teeth, closed her eyes and looked down to hold back the tears angst and fear generated.
"I see you starin' Nins." jested a voice.
Nins nearly jumped out of her seat.
She turned around to see it was her friend Rin.
"Oh god Rin, please…don't do that anymore." exclaimed Nins. "You scared the shit out of me."
"I always manage to scare you shitless." jested Rin.
After the slight scare from Rin, she turned back to AMM.
Rin wrapped her arm around her love-dazed friend.
"So…when ya gonna tell her?" Rin urged.
"Tell her what?" questioned a supposedly puzzled Nins.
"Ya know…that ya got feelings for her." chattered Rin.
Nins looked down at the ground, blushing a bright red, then back at AMM.
"I don't know…" she murmured.
"I'm sure she'll understand if you told her." assured Rin.
Nins let the sentence flow through her ears, then soak in her mind.
"Yeah maybe…" she murmured.
"Uh dude?" whispered Rin.
"What?" asked Nins.
"AMM's comin' this way." Rin added.
Rin was right, AMM was walking in Nins's and Rin's direction.
Nins's flushed red face became redder the closer she was getting.
AMM sat between Rin and Nins.
Nins tried her best to look away.
"So how is everyone feeling this evening?" asked AMM sweetly.
"Good. Fine." were the short responses Nins and Rin gave.
AMM glanced over at Nins. She was looking out at the sea. She was curious about what was wrong. To her, Nins looked like she was hiding something, she could see it in her eyes, it was a secret, a secret that telling here was not the right time or place.
Nins suddenly felt the warmth of arms wrapped around her and a head nuzzled against her. She looked down to see that the hands were black. It was AMM.
She blushed a deep red and bit her lip in nervousness.
"What's wrong Nins?" asked AMM. "You look upset."
Nins broke from AMM's grasp.
"U-upset? Who's upset? Surely not me! I'm happy as a clam! In fact I'm loving this morning!" Nins shouted.
"Uh Nins. It's evening." corrected AMM.
Nins had a poker face and blushed red with embarrassment.
Rin was behind AMM and giggled.
Nins threw a sneer at Rin, still blushing.
"Well guys I'll be going down to the library if ya need me." announced AMM.
"Ok…th-that's cool." Nins mumbled.
"Nins are you sure you're-"
"YES I AM!" Nins screamed and ran away.
Rin and AMM just stood there in an awkward silence.
"Maybe I should go to talk to her." offered AMM.
"No I'll do it." Rin insisted. "You just go to the library like you said you wanted to."
"Ok." replied AMM.
She watched Rin run off to find Nins.
"I just wish I knew why Nins was acting so weird…" sighed AMM.

On the other side of the ship, Nins was alone, watching the waves move up and down, the sky colorful turning to a twilight…
She started to tear up. She threw her cap down and broke down. She sat with her head in her hands sobbing.
Rin found Nins just in time.
"Nins!" she exclaimed.
"What do you want?" Nins chided.
"Look, first of all, I'm sorry for laughing at you. Second of all, why are you crying?" said Rin looking at her upset friend.
"It's ok…and it's nothing…" sighed Nins.
"Nins, a person doesnt cry for nothing. If they do they need professional help."
sputtered Rin.
She sat by her upset friend.
"Your red eye is glowing. You're upset about something. You can tell me, you can trust me, I'm your friend."
Nins let out a sigh, then spoke.
"I'm afraid…"
"Of what?" asked Rin.
"Of telling AMM something…" Nins continued. "I think she'll hate me if I told her…"
"Well you'll never know unless you say." assured Rin. "Am I right?"
Nins looked at Rin, smiled, and nodded.
"Thank you for understanding Rin." she choked while hugging her.
"Glad I could help." smiled Rin.
Nins got up, picked up her hat and walked off.
"Hey where ya goin?" questioned Rin.
"To the library…" replied Nins.

When Nins finally made it to the library, the first thing she saw was AMM.
She tiptoed down the stairs and hid behind a shelf, steadily moving her way up, just to get closer to her. Finally running out of shelves, she was a book shelf next to her.
AMM's eyes were very busy scrolling up and down the shelf for a good book so she didnt notice Nins was a shelf across from her.
Nins was looking at AMM yet again. Seeing her beautiful long black hair, her flourescent clear eyes, her long thick charcoal fingers. It made her think back to earlier that evening…
—
"I see you starin' Nins." jested Rin wrapping her arm around her love-dazed friend. "So when ya gonna tell her?"
Nins looked down at the ground, blushing a bright red, then back at AMM.
"I don't know…" she murmured.
"I'm sure she'll understand if you told her." assured Rin.
—
Nins had fallen out of her daydream just in time.
AMM turned in Nins's direction.
Nins quickly turned her head and pretended to look for books.
"Oh hey Nins." greeted AMM.
Nins started to sweat.
She turned her head AMM's direction, then her body.
"H-hey…"
