Tonight, the stars were pretty, just like that night when—

"Maki-chan."

There was her camera on the ground,

There were stars on the sky,

What else that she was waiting for?

"Maki-chan, you'll catch a cold if you keep sitting there."

But it is no use for Koizumi Hanayo to tell the girl a few times, also, she did it almost every single day. The red-haired girl will stay at the amusement park with her camera until late at night or when the park staffs shooed her from her stay.

Tonight, the stars were pretty, just like that night when—

"Maki-chan, want to take a photo together?"

That night is when Hoshizora Rin asked her to go to the amusement park together, there was an event regarding Tanabata Festival that the owner decided to open the observatory until midnight. Maki is quite puzzled that she was asked to be there out of blue, and just the two of them (actually, she'd ask Hanayo, her former roommate, not her, the neighbor next door).

"The stars are pretty, they could be the best background for us, nya!" she exclaimed.

Maki was reluctant at first, then she nodded slowly and ready to bring her camera.

"Just use my cell phone, please?"

"Alright, alright."

The chartreuse-eyed girl posed as she held her cell phone, Maki stood beside her, lowered her head as well as smiled. They took four shots and created the collage out of it. Maki, the apprentice photographer, checked the result after Rin saved the photo.

The angle was so-so, and well, phone camera will never satisfy you by the result but … Rin looks naturally good in it, the stars also nicely captured.

"Aww Maki-chan, you should smile more, you're cute!"

A blush crept out on her cheek, "S-Shut up!"

Rin ran away while Maki tried to scold her more. Eventually, they stopped at the farthest railing to the east, the telescope there was occupied, so they can't use it at the moment.

"Hey, Maki-chan," Rin tugged her arm, she pointed the sky with her index finger. "Do you know which constellation is it?"

Her amethyst orbs squinted. She knows constellations much; after all stars are her favorite thing to see at night, but she couldn't find anything in the direction where Rin designated.

As her mind stay focused, a warm sensation wrapped her lips.

Huh, what—

"Got you."

Hoshizora Rin stood right before her, with a smile that never faded.

"To think that I fell in love with an uptight, tsundere photographer next door …" her voice was low. "It must be a fate, don't you think, Maki-chan?

"Hanayo, can you answer this for me?" Maki let out her hoarse voice for once. "Why she decided to leave me alone? Leaving me without bothering to tell me anything?"

Hanayo was at lost of words.

She knew that Rin had plotted to confess to Maki that night, that she would ask Maki to some place that she might like, to enjoy a night with her while the redhead has no knowledge about what might happen next …

The next day, the door to Rin's apartment was wide open, leaving a letter contained a love umbrella written by a thick black marker.

Rin | Maki

Please don't come to find me.
