The sky looks nice today. I keep finding myself looking outside the window. I just want to go to the beach and walk alone with my thoughts. But right now, I'm sitting with Riko-chan at our usual booth at our café. We're waiting for You-chan and Yoshiko-chan to show up but…

*sigh*

"What's wrong Chika?"

"eh…oh its nothing haha"

Crap I didn't mean to sigh that loud. I try to play it off, but that only makes Riko more suspicious.

"Are you sure?"

She's giving such a worrisome look, I'm starting to feel a bit guilty about lying to her.

"Really, I am. I'm just getting kinda tired waiting for those two."

"That's true, they are really late. Still through, it was quite surprising to hear that they started dating huh. Those two are quite a unique pair." Riko giggled.

"…yeah"

I try to laugh, but I can feel my chest begin to tighten. Surprised doesn't even begin to cover it. I was so shocked when I found out my best friend was dating someone, even more so when that someone was in our group. I can still remember the day that You-chan and Yoshiko-chan revealed were dating. It's a scene that won't get out of my head.

We were in our clubroom having our usual Aquors meeting. Me, Riko, and Hanamaru were discussing song lyrics; well Riko and Hanamaru were discussing, I was just blurting out whatever idea popped into my head. Ruby was sitting at the other side of the table with Dia looking at fashion magazines, and Kanan and Mari were talking with each other at the corner of the room.

"Aaaaahhh! I'm too tired, I can't think of anything." I complained.

"Now Chika-chan, don't be like that. We need to come up for lyrics for our song remember. I already got the costumes all planned out so now it's your turn." Kanan said as she patted my head.

"But writing lyrics for a duet is harder than it looks, right Ruby-chan?''

"A-actually, Onee-chan and I already have our stuff done for our song."

"EEEHHH! No way!" I yelled.

Dia then slams her hand on the table scaring both me and Ruby.

"Don't take us lightly, Me and Ruby know everything there is to know about being an idol. Writing and designing was child's play for us sisters."

She then gets up on the table and points her finger at me

"Chika-chan, you lack spirit! You dare call yourself an idol!"

Dia can be real scary once she gets like this. I mean, I was the one that came up with the idea of being idols. But I didn't want to say that and go against the angry Dia and her idol pride.

"Now, Now, Dia-san, this is the first time we ever had a duet so of course it would be the first time." Riko said trying to calm down Dia.

Ahhh thanks Riko, I can always count on you.

"That's right, and its not my fault. If I was partnered up with You-chan, we would have our song done the blink of an ey-ouch!"

Kanan chops me on the top of head.

"Well I'm sorry I'm not You-chan" angrily smiling at me.

"hahahaha"

Everyone starts laughing at my pain. It was times like these that I treasured the most. Being with everyone and laughing together. Still through, when we were picking partners for our duet songs. I thought for sure I was going to be paired with You chan. We do everything together so I thought it was a given that we would be a duo. But to my surprise, when I asked her type of song we were going to do. She told me that she was going to do a song with Yoshiko-chan instead. She apologized to me for telling me earlier. I didn't want her to feel bad so I said it was okay. But I made her promise that the song will be us two. She agreed and gave me her smile that I love so much before she walked off with Yoshiko chan.

"By the way, where are those two?" I asked the group.

"Yoshiko texted me they're on their way zura"

"Those two get along well huh" said Kanan, sitting at the chair next to me.

Do they? I never really noticed. I always just thought they live close to each other and ride the bus home together. I guess I've been busy with Aquors to really pay attention. Mari jumps up from behind and grabs my shoulders

"Mou, you better be careful Chika-chi or You will be stolen from you."

Please, that will never happen.

"Ohhh, there they are." Mari points towards the windows. I look up and see two figures walking to the door. The windows are cover by curtains, but I can definitely tell its them. But instead of heading inside the two just standing outside. It looks like they're talking about something. Riko starts chuckling.

"I don't think they know we can see them."

"I wonder what they're talking about zura"

They been standing there talking for a while, I think ill go scare them. But I soon as I get up, You-chan opens the door and walks in with Yoshiko-chan behind her.

"H-hey everyone, sorry we're late" You says, stuttering on her words.

"What took you guys so long." I asked. The two of them walk up and stand in front in table, for some reason Yoshiko is hiding behind You's back.

"What's wrong?" Kanan asks the pair.

"A-actually, there's something we want to say to you guys." You says shyly.

Both of them are acting weird. They're both shaking, and their faces are bright red. I wonder what they are trying to say. I was about to ask but as soon as I got up from my seat, I noticed that both of them were holding hands. My mind goes blank and I just stand there, staring at You.

"W-well, we wanted to you guys that…well um…that…me and Yoshiko…have…starting dating."

There was a long pause. Everyone was processing what they had just heard. Meanwhile, the two stand there fidgeting as the room falls into silence.

"EEEEHHHHH!?" Everyone yelled, reacting at the same time.

Suddenly everyone gets up and surrounds the two; bombarding them questions all at the same time.

"What did you just say!?"

"Are you guys serious!?"

"When then this happen!?"

The questions kept coming, there was a surge of excitement as everyone asked for details of the story; eagerly wanting to know how their fellow group members got together. That is everyone, but me. I can only stand here, in complete shock. You…together with someone. I… thought for sure that…

"Is it really true zura" Hanamura asks Yoshiko with Puppy dogs eyes.

"I-indeed," Yoshiko begins to do one of her famous chuunibyou poses. "For you see, I, the great Yohane h-have formed a contract with my servant that b-b-bonds….us to-to-togeth…ugg..UUGGGHH! I can't do it, this is way to embarrassing. You! This is your fault! I told you we should have kept it a secret."

"Ehhh!? Why is it my fault? They would have found out eventually so isn't better to come out with it."

"S-still!" Yoshiko's face is completely red at this point. You is trying her best to come her down, then Mari comes in from no where and grabs them both in each arm.

"Now, now. There's no need to be Yoshiko chan. This is a happy occasion! After all, another pair of lilies have bloomed within our garden" Mari announces. Suddenly Kanan comes in and chops her right on her head.

"Enough of that." Clearly annoyed

"It's joke" Mari says as she rubs her head for the attack she just suffered. Kanan then looks are You and Yoshiko and gives them a motherly smile.

"Seriously through, I never would have guessed, but congrats"

The two look at each other, sheepishly rub their heads.

"Thanks you guys." They were very grateful they had great understanding friends.

Commotion continues to fill the clubroom. Everyone is happily chatting away with the new found couple. Everyone…except me. I can only stand here. I'm still trying understand what's going here. There are so many emotions and thoughts filling my head. Confusion…disbelief…sadness…even a little anger. I…I don't want to be here. I just want to leave as fast as I can. Before I can do anything, I see You making her way over here. She must've noticed I haven't said anything so far. What do I do.

"Chika-chan, are you okay?"

"H-huh, y-yeah I'm fine." I try my best to smile at her, but I'm finding it hard to even do that.

"You sure? You look like you were daydreaming again."

"Trust me I'm fine haha,… so you and Yoshiko-chan huh."

"Yeah…" You gives me a worried looked, she knows something up. She could anyways tell whenever something bothered me.

"Listen Chika-chan, I wanted to apologize to you"

"Huh, about what."

"Well,…it's just that, I'm sorry for not telling you before. I know we promise tell each other everything, but this is kind of embarrassing to say so…I'm sorry."

"You-chan…" She's was worried about me…

She then looks me straight in the eye.

"So, what do you think Chika. Are you okay with this?"

The seriousness in her eyes stuns me. It looks like she's expecting an honest answer but…why are you asking me this. Of course I'm not okay with this! Why are you choosing Yoshiko-chan over me? We were always together, ever since we were kids. So why. I feel so conflicted. There's so much a want to say, but this is You I'm talking to. She's my best friend, I should be happy that she found someone she can be happy with. Even if it's not with me.

"Congrats You-chan, I'm happy for you guys."

"…" You keeps staring at me worryingly. Is it that obvious. No, this is You-chan, she'd know right away whenever something was bothering me.

"…I see." You sighs. " Thank you, Chika-chan…Oh and don't think that this will change anything, you still are and will always be my first mate. Ay Chika-chan." She goes ahead and does her signature salute pose.

"…h-ha-hahaha" I can't help but laugh when she does that. That reassurance from You did help feel better. Even if she's with someone else, that doesn't change the face that she will always be by my side.

"Roger that Captain Yousoro."

We both laugh and join the others in the commotion. This…This will take some getting used to, but I have to support You-chan just like she has supported me. And like she said, I'm still her number one friend, that's no going to change. However, that hasn't been the case. Two weeks have passed since then and the change is obvious.

I can feel You drifting away. She hardly visits anymore, we rarely ride the bus together, and we barely have one on one talks during Aquors practice. And whenever I invite her to do something just the two of us, she's either busy with swim or she already made plans with Yoshiko. I guess this is karma from all the times I turned her down back in middle school.

I can feel tears coming out of my eyes. I'm losing my best friend, right before my eyes. I hate it.

"Chika-chan, what's wrong!?"

"h-huh" I return from my flashback to see Riko sitting in front of me. She hands me some tissues and I quickly wipe my face.

"N-nothing wrong, I'm just getting a little sleepy and my eyes started watering. Those two are really late!" I try to change the subject so Riko does worry.

"They are almost 30 mins late, maybe we tell You-chan that we should try this another ti-."

And at that very moment, the doorbell chimes and You and Yoshiko comes rushing it. They look around the store and spot us at the corner.

"Chika-chan! Riko-Chan! Sorry we're late!" You yells.

The two come over to our booth, they both are out of breath.

"Sorry you guys, the bus driver made us late. Guess there was construction up ahead and we had to get off a few stops early." You says grasping for air. She looks at me and bows her head.

"I'm sorry Riko-chan, Chika-chan."

….haha I guess You is still the same as ever

"Geez You-chan, You're the one who invited us and you come late. I was falling asleep you know." I said teasingly.

"I'm sorry" You's face turns slightly red in embarrassment.

"D-damn that human, h-he has committed a great sin in making the great Yohane run to meet her servants." Yoshiko says. She's sweating way more that You is. Riko gets up and offer them her seat. She also gives Yoshiko the rest of her drink.

"Now, now you two take a seat and rest."

"Thanks Riko-chan."

"I-I appreciate the offering my servant."

The two dramatically take at a seat at the booth while Riko joins me at my side.

"How you gonna beat Kanan-chan if you're tired from that" I continue teasing You-chan

"I'll beat her one day! Just…not right now."

The group laughs at You as she slowly loses confidence. Trying to get out of the spotlight, You calls over the waitress and we began to order. The four of us began talking about whatever stuff popped up in our heads. Yoshiko would start her Chuunibyou routine, while You and Riko would play the straightman. Riko and Yoshiko were talking to each other about something within Guilty kiss. I didn't really pay that much attention but It must've been something embarrassing since Riko's face was redder than a tomato. Meanwhile me and You were finally having some one on one time together. She would tell me stories about her swim team and I would tell about my family's antics and the latest idol news. We both were just laughing, enjoying each other's company. I miss this, even though there were four of us, it felt like me and You were in our own little world. It's been so long since I've talked to You like this, I wished this would never end. But my bubble popped once our food came.

"Here Yoshiko, say ahhh" You grabbed a spoon full of her mikan sundae to try and feed it to Yoshiko

"It's Yohane! A-and no way! That's too embarrassing." Yoshiko declined, pushing You away.

"Ehhhh!?" You sad disappointed.

What's wrong with you Yoshiko, just take the bite. You should be lucky to have You feeding you like that. If that was me, I would have gladly taken You's offer. *sigh* I know told myself I would support You's love but, I just can't get used to this. I mean, they don't go together at all. They have almost nothing in common. I know I'm a horrible friend for thinking that, but I can't help but feel jealous.

"hmm okay how bout this. *cough* *cough* oh great Yohane, your humble servant has brought you an offering as a show of affection. Would you do me the great honor of accepting this fine cuisine." You starts playing the role of one of Yoshiko's servants. She evens bows her head to her.

"V-very well, in you insist, your master would have no choice but to accept your offering." And just like that Yoshiko opens her mouth and lets You feed her. The moment she does, You smiled so bright, she could outshine the sun.

"fufufu you two are so cute together." Riko commented and the two blush while looking away from each other.

…*sigh* I just want to go home. A few moments later, Yoshiko's phone rang. We all quiet down as she was talking to someone on the phone.

"My mom is here to pick me up." She said.

"I guess it is getting late, we should probably leave soon." Riko added. I just barely noticed, but the sun is starting to set.

After we paid for our food, we all left outside where we saw Yoshiko's mom waiting for her in her car.

"Hey Riko-chan, want to come over to my house to work on our next song."

"Sure, that sounds good." Riko accepted Yoshiko's offer, I guess they're going to finish up their latest guilty kiss song.

"You, do you wish to partake in our activities as well." Yoshiko sneered.

"haha I love to, but I can't today. My mom is already on her way." You declined.

"I see…" Yoshiko was clearly disappointed.

"Oh come on look like that." You walked up to her and kissed her on her forehead. "We can hang out again other time, just the two of us okay."

Yoshiko looked down and blushed "…mhmm." And just like the two of drove off. Suddenly, it's just me and You-chan alone.

You stretched out her arms and sighed "and then there were two, eh Chika-chan." You grinned.

"y-yeah"

There's an awkward silence between us. I never thought it would be so hard to talk to You-chan. I gotta say something to break this mood.

"I guess you and Yoshiko are getting along great huh." Ugh, what kind of question was that.

"H-huh, yeah I guess. There's never a boring moment when she's around you know hehe." You chunckes as she scratches her nose.

"I bet, but that's also one of her of cute sides huh."

"haha yeah, especially when she gets embarrassed. She gets all red and starts hits my arm. I call her Yoshiko-chan instead of "Yohane" just to see her face. Also, whenever she really excited, she makes this silly grin and nose starts to flicker, it's just the cutest thing. And also…"

You starts talking about all the things she finds cute about Yoshiko-chan. I'm amazed that she notices all the small details about her.

"…you must really love her."

You stops talking, there's a slight blush on her cheeks. "…yeah, I really do." She said with gentle eyes. Those were the eyes of a maiden in love if I ever saw one.

I can feel my heart breaking as I'm looking at her. I've never seen You make that face before. I can't believe that she's making that face towards Yoshiko-chan. I thought for sure You liked me. I was nervous about making anything in case I was wrong, but now I regret it. If only I had confessed these feelings to You-chan sooner, then she would've looked at me liked that… Is this really how my first love is going to end.

"hehe sorry I got really emotional there huh."

"…Hey You-chan."

"What's wrong Chika-chan?"

"How about we hang out my house tonight."

"Eh, why all of a sudden?"

"Well, Riko-chan and Yoshiko-chan are going to spent the night together. How about me and you do too huh."

"W-well…"

"Come on Captain You-chan, we haven't done it in forever. Don't let your first down."

You closes her eyes and crosses her arms to think.

"Well it has been a while…,okay let's do it. I'll text my mom to drop us off at your house."

"Great! The Mikan loving duo are back together!"

"We were never apart though." You giggles.

We both start laughing. You's mom gets here and agrees to let You sleep over at my house…I'm sorry Yoshiko-chan. I'm, I'm going to do something unforgivable. I know I'm a horrible friend, but I can' let it end like this. I have to get my feeling through to You-chan, no matter what.

Hello everyone, it's my second go at writing a fanfic. I wanted to try my hand at a drama this time. I made it way longer than originally intended. I love both Youchika pairing and Youhane pairing that I wanted to do something with both of them. Thanks for the read, and please leave a comment if you enjoyed it or not. Chapter two should be this week if life doesn't get in the way.
