"It's kind of sad the summer is ending.", sighed a busty brunette. The brunette's best friend replied, "I know right and soon we'll all be off doing our own thing, especially Rio-chan and Rinka-chan. They're going off to the states to study abroad!" The usually perky girl had sulked for a minute until Kayano cheered up with a "it's only for a year and they'll be back". While grabbing a handful of popcorn, the blonde in question gave a small smile combined with a wink to Kurahashi, "Hey. Cheer up! There are breaks and you know we can skype anytime! Right Hayami?", she turned to the ex-sniper and gave a curt nod. Right after her short reply Nakamura decided to joke around for a bit, "See I'll skype with you anytime, but our tsundere here won't. I'm afraid she'll be busy with skyping with her boyfriend…!" Kurahashi soon went along and a cheerful smile had spread across her face. "Ah! Chiba-chan! I'm sure you two will spend hours talking until the sunrises!" the perky insect lover teased. Within a minute most of the girls had joined in with Nakamura and Kurahashi, and at that point Hayami's face was beet red.
Kataoka sighed and laughed a bit, "That's enough. Now can we talk about something else?" The girls soon stopped teasing the red-faced girl and turned their attention to Kataoka. The playful blonde heard her gallant friend and soon responded, "Alright, alright…. I guess we should talk about something else…" With a sigh of relief the brunette was calm until she heard something about her own relationship. "Why don't we talk about you and Yada? Who thinks our Ikemegu and Bitch-sensei's prized pupil are the cutest pair? Yay or nay?" the blonde joked. After the teasing has gone to her, Kataoka blushed profusely. Seeing this Yada decided to give her ikemen a peck on her scarlet cheeks. Seeing this made the girls blush as well and thought on how right Nakamura was. Even the one who started the teasing the two had felt her own heart skip a beat. Seeing the girls' silent reactions Ikemegu shouted, "Why is everyone so quiet all of a sudden!?" After a minute or so the girls had decided on what else they should do. Okano, Hara, and Hayami suggest on watching a movie. While Hazama and Okuda seems on board with those three, she would prefer to watch a horror film. Either that or it's another edition of Hazama's scary stories. Kurahashi wants to continue on with the juicy conversation of relationships and even thought of asking advice on how she should finally confess to a certain agent they knew. Kataoka just wants to do anything not relating to love after having an embarrassing moment of her own relationship herself. Kayano suggested on playing board games and brought out a pack of Uno other girls are fine with doing anything after all it is their last quarterly E girls sleepover until Nakamura and Hayami return from the states. In the end it was decided that they'll eat and play some games.
After an hour of talking and making enemies from competitive games of Uno and Parcheesi, Nakamura brought out a game she brought. Putting the black box on the floor the white lettering read: CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY. "After going online and seeing that this is popular, I decided to practice on reading translating with English. It took me forever to translate all of this!", Nakamura giggled. Opening up the box and picking up a random card Kanzaki read a card out loud, "Funky fresh rhymes." Once hearing the card the girls were still unsure on the game, but the blonde soon coerced them into playing. Thinking about what game she had gotten her friends to play, all the gal could do is just laugh from what her friends are about to play. "Hmmm… What's so funny Rio-chan?" the orange haired girl asked as she picked up her deck of white cards. Remembering that Kurahashi is immune to sleazy subjects Nakamura whispered in her ear about what the game truly is.
Everyone was soon asleep. Well almost everyone, since a certain ex-sniper was still wide awake. She tried going to sleep and though maybe this sleepover would help. Yet, it doesn't since her mind keeps on running on the thought of studying abroad. Her thoughts were not on leaving home nor were they on how will she survive in a totally new environment. Instead they were on her boyfriend and their relationship. Hayami was going to be honest with herself and knew that she wouldn't talk to him every day or night. It wasn't that she doesn't trust Chiba, but instead she doesn't trust herself. She's honestly afraid that her move would just strain the relationship they had formed over the years. Even though they had been official for the past year and a half, the two knew they had feelings for one another before then. Thinking of that she begins remembering the time they both confronted their feelings. With that confrontation they confessed. The confession was painfully awkward and full of prolonged silences, yet neither one of them regretted it. Looking back at the past they had together, she let out a quiet laugh and turned in her sleeping bag to face the ceiling. Staring at the white ceiling and returning on what she should do with Chiba. Soon concluding that something must be done before she leaves.
Author's Note
As you see Kurahashi uses the "-chan" suffix quite a lot. I read Kimura's translated profile and it said that he got excited when she called him "Kimura-chan". However in the end he realizes she calls every boy "Name-chan". So I appied the "-chan" suffix here, but I thought since she's gotten close to the girls so she would refer them as "First name-chan". It seems like she would haha.
Another thing is I wanted to put in Kataoka/Yada in this chapter, even if it's for a bit… I rarely see anything with those two so why not indulge myself with this. Although it is not a fic focused on them I just wanted to give into this pair. Also Cards Against Humanity is a fun and terrible game.
I'll try updating this as soon as I can. If you can, please review and critique! I would like to get better in my writing and it would help me if you are able to do it. Thank you for reading this and have a nice day!
