Koizumi Risa bit her juice box straw with a glazed expression, clearly deep in thought. It was unnerving to Ishihara Nobuko, seeing her friend so lost in her head without causing a ruckus. "Hey Risa, what're you thinkin' about? Otani again?"

A weary laugh.

"Nobu-chan, you know me too well. You'd fish my body out of the river. Right?" Risa's tired smile froze as she was brought down to earth by Nobu's horrified expression.

"DON'T COMMIT SUICIDE! MOMMY WON'T ALLOW IT! EVER!"

"A-ah, I'm not really going to commit suicide! I was joking! JOKING!"


Ah, it was so late already.

She put her weight onto the railing, staring into the sunset. It was a normal day, fun with friends, regular trouble with Kong, a Brand New All Hanshin Kyojin act for the whole class.

Nothing has changed.

"AUGH!" Risa clutched the bar much tighter than needed, plotting her crush's murder. That stupid half-pint! Sure she was willing to wait for him, but there's a limit to how much strain her heart could take! First things are awkward, then we act like comedy partners, then it's back to awkward because people point out how much of a couple we look! GOD! It's enough to drive a girl crazy!

"Ah well…" she muttered to herself. "he'll come around eventually…" Koizumi heaved a big sigh, gave herself a hard slap, and smiled. "Just you wait, Otani! You'll fall for me yet!" she pretty much yelled, one foot on the railing.

"DON'T JUUUUUUUUUUUUMP!" Risa nearly fell over as she heard the faint yell coming from across the river. That sounded like Nobu-chan! But why di-SHE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO JUMP?! "Oh no! What is she going to do to me at school tomorrow!?"


"OTANI GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"

"What did I do this time?"

"SHUT UP! Risa's gonna die! AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"Wha- Koizumi?!"

"Yes, now go talk to her!"

"But she-"

"NOW!"


"Ah! Otani! What's up?"

"Ah! Um… you're not gonna commit suicide, are you?"

"NO."

"Bu-"

Twitch.

"I'M NOT SUICIDAL!"


Short crackhumor for LoveCom... Love that manga...
I must be drinking non-alcoholic alcohol to be actually putting this up... Ahaha...
This is actually loosely based on something that happened to one of my friends before I met her. I also drew a comic of it, but gave it to her before I scanned it. D'OH!
The title is just... I DUNNO OKAY
This would be way better as a short anime extra.
