Tamayo x Kotaro, Misaki x Oujirou
On Angel's Wings
By: Lirial Raito
Tamayo glanced down at her hand, trying not to blush. Kotaro was holding her hand, something she had been dreaming of for years. True, they were best friends since childhood, but Tamayo had always been such a tomboy that, until recently, Kotaro had always thought of her as *just* a friend. She smiled to herself, happier than she had ever been before.
The movie theater was quieter than usual, everyone inside watching a special documentary about Angelic Layer. Tamayo was amazed that Misaki's mother, Shuuko, was on of the people responsible for the fine-tuning of Angels, the little moveable dolls that Misaki loved so much. Misaki was a few seats away from Tamayo, staring in awe at the screen. Even though she had heard everything about Angelic Layer's creation from her mother and step-father, Misaki was still in awe that *this* was the summation of her seven year separation from her mother. Tamayo smiled again at the thought. Her friend had practically motherless for seven years, even though her grandparents had taken care of her, and Misaki had forgiven her mother almost immediately, putting all her feelings into that last National Tournament battle against her mother's angel, Athena.
A year had passed since Misaki had won that battle, and with Misaki's help, Tamayo had created gained a much better control on her excitability, and the habit of strangling Kotaro whenever he was around to grab a hold of.
She glanced again at Kotaro, and this time caught him glancing back at her. She smiled gently, something she wouldn't have done a year ago.
--Thanks Misaki… you brought us closer together than I had hoped we could be. Even if he did have a crush on you-- Tamayo thought to herself.
She leaned over to whisper in Kotaro's ear.
"Let's get ice-cream when this is over. Give Shuuko-san and Icchan-san some more time alone together, as and Misakichi and Oujirou-kun as well."
He nodded with a smile, and tugged her a little closer to him.
She smiled to herself, and then leaned her head on his shoulder with a sigh of contentment. The rest of the documentary passed by in minutes to Tamayo.
Tamayo stared at her door, not wanting to go in and leave Kotaro. She took a deep breath in and turned to face him.
"Kotaro-kun, thanks for the ice-cream, and dinner. I've really enjoyed spending the day with you."
He nodded, smiling. "I know Tamayo-chan, I'm glad we could spend the day together. I expected Hatako to tag along, but she seems to be less bossy now that she has a new friend to teach Angelic Layer too."
Tamayo raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Who?"
He shrugged slightly. "Someone from her first-grade class, who just moved here. Her name is Umi, but I can't remember the last name…"
A comfortable silence settled in around them a few moments later, both smiling.
Then, Kotaro leaned down a bit and gently kissed Tamayo on the lips.
"Goodnight Tamayo-chan, I'll see you tomorrow in class, since school starts up again."
She nodded, looking slightly dazed.
"Goodnight Kotaro-kun."
She opened the door and stepped inside, then leaned against the door after closing it.
After a few moments she went to her room and flopped onto the bed.
--He… he kissed me. My first real kiss from Kotaro-kun…--
Kotaro watched the door a few moments after Tamayo went inside, then turned and walked home.
