Haven't got much to say really, this pairing has caught my eye so yeah...decided to write about them
xXx
Maki sighed and shifted in her seat, she had a blinding headache as well as sore fingers. The girl had tried to come up with the notes for the new song, that she hoped would fit together with the lyrics for the next performance. What I wouldn't give for a relaxing bath right now. Another sigh escaped her lips, she was kind of hoping that Honoka or Nico would show up, so she would be able to take a break, not that she would act to be pleased to see them. But unfortunately for her she hasn't caught a glimpse of either of them.
"Maki?" during her deep thought, the pianist had failed to notice Umi walk into the room. Looking around at the girl, she mentally thanked her for showing up.
"yes?" she replied, noticing the papers in the archers hands. Just like Maki's, Umi's body was also struggling with the long day, just like the red-head she had a brutal migraine and her body ached all over from the daily activities.
"How's the music coming along?" the archer asked, walking over and taking a seat next to the younger girl.
Maki gave an exhausted sigh, the stress and fatigue present on her dazzling face. Umi nodded her head in a silent agreement. Feeling a little more relaxed, Maki slouched in her seat, causing her arms to slightly brush against the side of the archer. The older girl felt electricity run through her body and up her spine at the simple touch.
The two sat in silence, not an awkward silence...no scratch that a very awkward silence. "you finished with the lyrics?" Maki asked, breaking the awkward tension that just filled the air. Umi snapped out of her trance and looked at the pianist. She nodded and showed them to her.
Maki reached out to take the papers, causing their fingers to brush slightly. The pair jumped as a spark emanated between them. Umi looked away to hide her now, bright red cheeks. Maki was looking at their touching fingers, her mind seemed to have no control of her body, or she was more tired than she previously thought as her hand slid further up the archers arm, landing on her elbow.
The older girl tensed up at the sudden action of the other girl, her eyes snapped back to the pianist's face only to find the other girl looking down like she was shocked herself. "Ma-Maki?". Umi asked, not licking where this was going.
Maki stayed silent and instead walked closer to the older girl, causing her to drop the lyrics. Umi opened her mouth to say something, but when nothing came out she closed it again. By now Maki had lost all control of her actions as she walked into the archer. Her arms traveled up the older girls body, feeling every detail they glided over. Both hands finally found themselves wrapped around Umi's neck.
Umi was completely flabbergasted. All she could do was glare at the girl in front of her as she took complete control of the situation. Maki walked further into her, causing her to walk back into the wall. I must be completely out my mind...I-I mean it's not like I do this often anyway Umi thought as she allowed the red-head to carry on with what she's doing.
Maki finally took the last move as she slowly moved in and brushed her lips against the others. Both girls were now blushing furiously and their breathing was becoming sharp. Maki pushed their bodies together, feeling Umi's heart hammering against her chest. The pianist grinned at the effect she was having and leaned in fully to claim Umi's pink and surprisingly soft lips with her own."Nnh" her eyes clamped shut as she tensed up.
After a few seconds, the older relaxed and to Maki's surprise, kissed back. The pianist tangled her hands in the blue locks that flowed over Umi's shoulders, enjoying the softness of it. After a while, Maki got and board and so liked the others bottom lip lazily, not really bothered at the pace they went. She couldn't help but grin when the older girl eagerly accepted. Now the two had all their focus on the kiss, trying out different things to see what reaction they brought with it. Well mainly Maki was doing it, as she made herself dominant over the shy girl. During the passionate dance, neither one of them wanted to break apart, since it just felt so good, even if Maki felt a little guilty at suddenly coming onto her senior. She knew what Umi was like with romance and stuff, but something inside her just snapped and now that she thought about it, when she was around Umi, her gaze would always fall down to her lips. Who could blame her really? Umi is a very beautiful girl and so Maki just couldn't resist.
The pair wished they could have stayed like that for a little longer but unfortunately humans need air, much to Maki's annoyance and she mentally cursed the need to breathe. The two broke apart, a long strip of saliva connected the two mouths. Now panting heavily and still gazing into each others eyes like a love stuck couple, though Maki couldn't hold the gaze for long, still feeling really embarrassed and guilty. "well that was...umm" Umi said coughing in her hand. In all honesty, Umi didn't exactly dis-like the kiss, but didn't really want to do it either.
"Interesting" Maki finished off, still blushing furiously. Maki broke the embrace that the pair were still in and looked at the clock on the wall, she decided to call it a day since she didn't want to hurt Umi or embarrass herself any more that she already has "I'll um be going now" she said, without making eye contact and walked past Umi, before she could say anything else.
"W-wait!" Maki froze, to shocked to find Umi actually talking to her after what just happened. Peering over her shoulder at the girl behind her, Maki waited for what she had to say.
Umi was fidgeting, still very shocked and it was safe to say that it was probably one of the most embarrassing times of her life, but she knew deep down that she to say something. "I'll see you tomorrow Maki" both girls were surprised at how that came out. Though, Umi gave a smile as if to say don't worry about it and Maki couldn't help but blush, her own lips twitching upwards not now Maki it was only a kiss after all. But for some reason Maki didn't believe that, even though she thought that it was only a kiss between friends and nothing more, she still found that her heart was hammering in her chest well how cliché is this? she walked out the door after giving her senior a short nod.
Once out the door, Maki let out a sigh, her body drooping. Looking back at the door, he fingers instinctively made their way up to her lips where Umi's had been just moments ago.
On her way home, thoughts of what happened entered her mind, well I suppose that's only natural she shrugged, deciding that it really only was a kiss and she just blamed her behavior on the sun getting to her head. Though at that thought, her chest started to hurt and for a moment she thought she was going to have a heart attack. Look, I'm not in love and even if I was it's no big deal she gave a frustrated sigh Now I'm having a argument with myself.
She just decided to sleep when she got home since now both her head and her heart hurt.
xXx
The next day in Student council room, Umi was quietly filling out papers, Honoka was babbling on about something and Kotori was laughing at what Honoka was babbling on about. "Hey Umi...helooooo earth to Umi" the ginger haired girl said, waving a hand in front of the archers face.
"hmmm" the archer said looking up from her trance.
"Wow Umi-chan I've never seen you so out of it...who's the lucky person?" Kotori asked nudging the archer, who jumped at the question.
Honoka gave a dramatic gasp "Umi-chan! I never knew you had a lover~" she teased, patting her friends head like she was a little kid. The gesture only irritated the girl, but being too tired to argue she just mumbled under her breath.
"I d-don't know what you're talking about" the oldest girl tried her best to act serious, but being tired as well as embarrassed it came out more like a lazy order, not that Honoka follow's them anyway.
"well anyway, Honoka we better go file these papers" Kotori said winking at Umi, who got even redder at the action. Honoka gave a 'aww' and slumped the room, followed shortly by Kotori.
Once the two left the archer let out a sigh, she has been in a weird mood since yesterday and didn't get any sleep either, as her thoughts would always wander back to what happened no matter how hard she tried to concentrate. Sighing, the bluenette looked back down at the mountain of papers and started to get back to work. Once again images from yesterday came flooding back to her mind and a blush started to slowly creep back on her cheeks.
xXx
Maki was walking around with Rin and Hanayo, not really paying attention to what they were saying since her mind was also occupied with what happened. Should I say something to her? like what? apologize maybe? She shook her head, even if she did apologize which wasn't very likely, since she didn't do anything wrong well if you think kissing your friend out of nowhere isn't your fault then what is? there it is again, that little voice at the back of her mind that seemed to argue with everything she thought.
She needed to be alone, all the noisy corridors was making her head hurt. "I need to go somewhere" Maki quickly told her friends as she turned to go the other direction. Leaving both Rin and Hanayo with confused and concerned glances.
Almost barging her way through the crowd, the red-head found herself at their club room. Slowly opening the door, Maki peered into the room to check if any one was in there, sighing when it was empty.
Plopping her bags onto the floor and then doing the same thing onto a chair, Maki let out an exhausted sigh why am I letting this get to me? it was true that the red-head, usually didn't think things over twice, only when it came to her music. But for some reason this has got to her more than she would like to admit. But when she decided that she wasn't bothered her heart would ache and a sharp pain would slice through it, sometimes causing her to jerk a little.
Finally agreeing to talk with the older girl, she got up with a determined face before picking up her stuff and walking out the door.
xXx
Umi had almost but done the paperwork when suddenly there was a knock on the door, the archer looked up from the desk "come in" she called calmly. The door opened and Umi's eyes slightly widened at who it was. "Maki?" she asked, said girl shut the door behind her and walked further into the room.
Letting out a sigh Maki greeted the other girl"Hello Umi" the girl said casually placing down her bags and sitting on the couch.
"Is there something you need?" the archer asked, her eyes never leaving the younger girl.
Maki looked away biting her bottom lip, before sitting up straight, a very serious look on her face. Crossing her legs and leaning on her hand, to get in a more comfortable position, she gave one last look at the girl before answering her question. "It's about what happened yesterday" immediately, Umi's eyes widened and her cheeks turned the darkest shade of red you could think of. She stared at the older girl and gave her a smile, trying to comfort her in any way she could, without physically touching her. After all she didn't want to repeat yesterday's 'incident' or does she? Maki shook her head.
Umi didn't know how to react, so ended up simply staring at the other girl maybe a little to intensely. Her heart was racing many miles a minute and Umi was scared if the red-head could hear it.
Maki let out a sigh of frustration "all I'm saying is that I don't want it to be weird between us" she stated and Umi nodded at that, giving the signal for Maki to continue. Licking her dry lips, the annoying voice returned tell her what you feel idiot are you seriously to proud to even do that!? "shut up" Maki argued back and Umi looked at her, puzzled.
"I'm sorry?" she said, still confused if her friend was talking to her, or someone else. But being the only other person in the room, her guess didn't take long.
Maki's eyes widened as she realized that she just spoke out loud. "No sorry, it's just..." go on, go on do it she's right there! now the voice was chanting and Maki had really had enough why do you want me to kiss her so bad?, it was just a kiss it didn't mean anything there it goes another spear piercing through her chest, causing her to jerk. It was a little harder than before and Umi suddenly became alarmed, rushing over to sit next to her friend, placing a hand on her shoulder.
It's not me that wants to kiss her it's you Maki looked up into those concerned amber eyes and it didn't take long for her to get trapped in that kind and gentle gaze. That's when she finally realized that for once, the little voice in her head was right, she really did want to kiss her again. Now more than ever. So leaning in she suddenly captured the older girl's lips with her own once again.
The archer could feel the hot breaths coming from the red-head, causing her heart beat to quicken. Maki wrapped her arms around the archers neck, brushing her lips against the girls skin. Umi shivered as a spark went up her spine "M-Maki?" the older girl stuttered out, turning her head to the side to give her better access.
This time, when their lips met Umi didn't take as long to react. She kissed back with as much passion as the pianist. Maki broke the kiss again, the older girl pouted and for the third time that day,their lips met once more. The pianist leaned in and placed her forehead against the archers, the older girl looked up into those purple jewels and the pianist couldn't help but gape out how cute the archer looked at this moment, so much cuter than when she's embarrassed. Her amber orbs had a sparkle in them, and she guessed it was the same for her.
Maki couldn't take it anymore. She leaned in for another kiss, one arm entangled within Umi's hair, and the other gently caressing her cheek. Umi locked her arms around the red heads waist, bringing her closer.
"Ahem...well it looks like you two are having fun" the two stopped dead in their tracks, as there heads snapped to were the voice came from. Standing at the door were all three of the third years Nozomi, Eli and finally Nico. Nozomi had a wild grin struck across her face, while the other two were blushing furiously and covering their eyes with their hands. The pair was frozen, not daring to move a muscle, like they would in the movies.
"Get out!" the pair yelled in unison. Nozomi gave them a wink and decided to let the pair have their personal time, After all their's always later.
Now that the moment was ruined, Maki decided to head back to Rin and Hanayo before they started looking for her. Umi nodded and was about to turn back to her desk before she felt a soft hand turn her back around and a warm fuzzy sensation hit her cheek. Before she had realized what had happened the first year was already out the door.
