A/N: Alright, so I did a story for Maria-sama Ga Miteru called The Status. I loved the idea and I really really wanted to do something similar in the Strawberry Panic universe. I decided in the end, why not. They are two different shows and these stories may share some similarities, but in the end they using this idea in two different ways :) (Basically I changed it to how I think it would fit in Stawberry Panic.) Aside from that I know there are some people who read my stuff that don't know what Maria-sama Ga Miteru is and I figured they might like this idea with the characters they love! Anyways I may continue this. They are two different shows and two completely different moods. (I think you will realize this isn't the same story that Maria-sama was even though it's similar.) In the end though I did this because I got great advice from someone on this site who will remain unnamed right now. (I don't know if you mind me using your name, I'm sorry if I offend you.) I am going to write what I want to write about, I can't satisfy everyone after all.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story and for those of you who have read "The Status" I assure you there is differences. By the way this is only chapter 1 of this story. (There is your first difference :D)
Shizuma sat back on her bed staring at the ceiling bored, she had wanted to spend her day with her girlfriend like usual, but unfortunately for both of them they had been put on separate cleaning duties and Nagisa was busy doing that. Shizuma sighed, she wished they never would have gotten caught skipping class that day. In the end though she only had herself to blame, if she hadn't confessed her love so publicly the day she took Nagisa from the elections then the teachers may still be oblivious. Unfortunately though, they weren't and on that day when Shizuma didn't show up to class her teacher got curious and checked to see if Nagisa had been in class, which she wasn't. It didn't take long until one of the sisters had been notified and had barged into Shizuma's room were things were just starting to get interesting.
Needless to say, Nagisa had never been so embarrassed, Shizuma could remember very clearly how red her face got and the fear in her eyes. Even though they were in trouble Shizuma had only wanted to hug Nagisa tight and never let her go at that moment, she loved the facial expression's Nagisa was capable of, they were all so cute.
Shizuma sat up in her bed and looked at her alarm clock, it was about an hour before dinner time now and Shizuma knew that this was the time her girlfriend usually finished up and made her way back to the dorms. Shizuma had enough, she missed her girlfriend and wanted to see her. Without a second thought Shizuma was out of her bed and making her way down the hall.
Girls in the halls still stared at Shizuma when she walked, they knew that she had confessed to Nagisa on that day, but that was the last they had ever seen any public affection from the two. The girls had been uncertain what relationship Shizuma had with the red head that everyone in all three schools was starting to gossip about. It hadn't helped any of the rumors that Shizuma and Nagisa would be seen together from time to time and the fact that like now, Shizuma had just entered the girls room without knocking.
Shizuma smiled when she entered the room and saw Nagisa's bed still a mess and her alarm clock on the floor. She knew her cute little red headed girlfriend was not a morning person by any means and like other days had probably almost missed breakfast and decided to leave straightening the room for later. Today though, Nagisa wouldn't have to make her bed or anything else, because Shizuma decided she wanted to do something for her girlfriend, even if it was small.
Shizuma took a satisfactory breath as she glanced at the bed, she hadn't even left a single wrinkle in the blanket. The only issue remaining now was that it was getting later and Nagisa still wasn't back, she must have had to clean the stair case again. Shizuma didn't want to leave though, she wanted Nagisa to know who cleaned her side of the room for her, besides if Shizuma went back to her own room she would just end up day dreaming about Nagisa again.
Shizuma sat down at Nagisa's desk and looked around the room, Tamao had always been kind of a clean freak so there was nothing else to really do and with that boredom started setting in. Shizuma sighed after a moment before glancing down at the black laptop with a heart sticker that had Shizuma's name written on it. Shizuma could only smile, she had remember when she gave Nagisa that sticker, but she never knew exactly what Nagisa did with it. Shizuma shook her head a moment later as she glanced over at the alarm clock before opening the laptop, she still had some time before dinner and decided she could play a game or something until Nagisa showed up.
Shizuma was pleasantly surprised though when she saw a very familiar picture of her and Nagisa together in their Miator uniforms. They both had very happy smiles and Shizuma had her arm around Nagisa in this particular picture which was taken by Tamao. It had taken awhile for Tamao to get over the election incident but in the end, Miyuki helped her pull through and now Shizuma and Nagisa could only wonder about those two. Shizuma shook the memory out of her head, this was a rare opportunity for her to be on Nagisa's Facebook page. The younger girl must have left it open when they talked this morning because she could still see their conversation open in the bottom right of the screen.
Shizuma read through the wall posts she could see and sighed when she saw yet another posted picture of Hikari and Amane together. Shizuma just shook her head at the likes and comments the picture had gotten. "I don't understand why people always feel it necessary to tell them they look great together, they already said it on the other five hundred pictures of them." Shizuma said to herself as she glanced up at the picture of her and Nagisa which was the red head's profile picture. Admittedly, Shizuma was jealous of Hikari and Amane, she wanted a bunch of pictures together with Nagisa on Facebook, but in the end they just didn't have many and had never really thought about it.
Shizuma sighed when she clicked on that profile picture and saw the three likes and the post from Tamao that read, "you two look so happy together!" Shizuma shook her head, she knew that Tamao wouldn't say anything about their relationship just like Miyuki, which for Shizuma and Nagisa was a little odd considering they didn't really care if people knew. They just weren't like Amane and Hikari who seemed like they needed everyone to know, they just seemed a little over the top sometimes to Shizuma. Soon enough though, Shizuma had found herself browsing through Hikari's pictures. Many of them had heart comments from Amane or cute little messages which Shizuma would just roll her eyes at. She wouldn't admit it to anyone but Nagisa if she asked, but she was jealous of these comments too.
Shizuma had enough of the pictures and closed the picture viewer and before going back to Nagisa's page she caught a glimpse of her relationship status which read, "in a relationship with Amane Otori." This had sparked Shizuma's curiosity as she clicked to Nagisa's profile page, she was curious to see what it said on hers. Shizuma read through her profile until she came across what she thought she was looking for which was a panel titled "Basic Info." It listed her birthday, her sex, and the last thing it showed which made Shizuma smile to herself was titled "Interested In" which Nagisa had set to women.
Shizuma had never really thought about it before, but when she first went after Nagisa she had never even stopped to think if she was straight or not, all she knew is that she wanted that little red head to be hers. She had never expected to find her life partner in this girl though, she at first thought she was just another cute face. Now she lived to see that cute red head smile and even though they hadn't really talked about it before, Shizuma knew once Nagisa was out of high school they would get married, it was like an unspoken thought that they both knew to be true.
With that in mind Shizuma went back to searching, until she finally found what she was looking for, it was just a few words, "in a relationship." Shizuma wasn't very smart with computers and she knew that Nagisa wasn't either, but after about five minutes of clicking various things and muttering random profanities she finally figured out how to change the relationship status and ended up getting it to say, "in a relationship with Shizuma Hanazono."
Shizuma smiled brightly and proudly as she saw the post go to Nagisa's wall, though she started to panic instantly after that, all she had wanted to do was make it say her name after the in a relationship part, not post it to the world. Unfortunately for Shizuma though she heard the door open and wouldn't be able to figure out how to change that fact, instead she instantly closed Facebook and looked over at Nagisa wide eyed.
"W-what were you looking at Shizuma?" Nagisa questioned as she shut the door behind her.
"Nothing!" Shizuma retorted as she closed the laptop and stood from her chair. "So, how was your day?" Shizuma said trying to change the subject.
"F-fine." Nagisa said still a little curious as to what her girlfriend was doing on her computer. "Shizuma...am I not...satisfying you enough?" Nagisa asked as her face turned red, she was embarrassed asking a question like that, but she couldn't help but feel a little insecure.
"What?! No, Nagisa it's not that and I wasn't looking at... You know. I was just startled when you came into the room." Shizuma said as Nagisa nodded a little.
"So, I satisfy you then?" Nagisa asked still very embarrassed but needing reassurance.
Shizuma sighed. "Nagisa, just being able to call you mine is satisfying enough for me. Honestly though, if I wasn't satisfied do you think I would scream your name when I..."
"I get it, you don't need to go in detail, it's embarrassing." Nagisa said as she went over to her dresser and started getting some clothes.
"You don't seem embarrassed when we are doing it though..." Shizuma teased a little playfully.
Nagisa sighed as she closed the dresser drawer and turned towards Shizuma still blushing, with clothes in her hands. "I am going to take a shower." She said trying to put an end to the start of what she could feel being an embarrassing conversation.
"Need someone to scrub your back?" Shizuma asked innocently though the look in her eyes told a different story.
Nagisa paused for a moment before turning to the bathroom door. "Only if you promise that we aren't late to dinner!"
A/N: So that is it! I hope you enjoyed this one, I know I did, this story took me about an hour maybe an hour and twenty minutes to type up. I know what is going to happen in chapter 2 though, I don't know if it will be the end of the story or not at this point. This is a very short story again. Lately though I've taken a liking to them, I think I am better at them. I also don't feel so stressed over the feeling of needing to get a bigger story like It Started In Her Dreams done. (I am working on it slowly trust me! I just can't seem to find the words I need right now.)
Enough about that though, I hope you enjoyed this, I hope it wasn't too similar to "The Status" I think the marriage idea really is the only definite similarity besides it revolving around facebook.
