Hi guys. Recently fell back into idol hell, so here's some yuri gayness I decided to write for HonoMaki OTP :3
"Damn it!" Maki slammed her fist on the table in front of her, hanging her head.
She felt a comforting hand on her back, and a voice say, "It's alright, Maki. We can't save everyone. Don't beat yourself up over it."
"I know, but-"
"Shush, go get some rest. You did well. I'll go break the news to the family."
Maki sighed, straightening and turning to face her friend. She managed a small smile. "Thanks, Eli."
Eli smiled back. "No worries. Don't push yourself too hard, now."
As she exited the room, Maki put her back to the wall and slid down to the floor. If only she'd been better. No, Eli was right. No use in beating herself up over it. It would've been a miracle if the surgery had been a success.
Sighing again, she rose and exited the room, stretching. Her stomach growled, reminding her she hadn't eaten all day. Hoping nobody nearby had heard, she quickly headed towards the cafeteria.
Rounding a corner, she bumped into something soft, sending her to the ground with a yelp. "Ow, ow, ow…" Rubbing the back of her head, she looked up to lock eyes with the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen. Her shoulder-length orange hair was tied up in a cute side ponytail, and her pretty blue eyes were like deep pools. Maki felt like she was drowning in them…
"Ah! Are you okay? I'm so sorry!" Maki was snapped out of her trance when the girl moved back, a worried look on her face. She extended a hand, which Maki took in a slight daze. Her skin was so smooth…
"Honoka… watch where you're going. A hospital is for fixing people, not injuring them." A girl with long, dark blue hair was standing next to her, looking at her disapprovingly.
"Ehehe… sorry, Umi." The ginger chuckled bashfully before turning back to Maki, her worried expression returning. "Are you okay, doctor? I'm really sorry."
Maki smiled, waving her off. "Yea, I'm fine. Don't worry about it."
She looked relieved. "That's good."
Awkward silence ensued as the two of them stared at each other. Maki coughed into her hand, blushing. "I'll be on my way then. Bye."
She walked quickly by them, staring straight at the ground.
"Heh, you totally thought she was cute." The blue haired girl's voice drifted to her ears.
"Shut up Umi." The ginger's voice, followed by a laugh as the two disappeared around the corner.
Maki covered her face to hide her blush as she sped up her walking pace. What the heck was that?! So Honoka is her name… she's so cute…
"Hello Minami-san, I'm here to check… on… you…" Maki trailed off, and she froze as she made eye contact with a certain ginger sitting on the visitor's bed.
"Ah." Honoka colored slightly. "Hello again, doc."
Umi was sitting next to her, and Maki could tell she was trying her best not to laugh.
"Um…" Kotori looked between the two of them. "You two know each other?"
"Uh… not really…? I kind of ran into her earlier." Honoka explained.
"Ahem." Maki cleared her throat to return to the topic at hand, entering the room and sitting next to the bed. "Are you feeling okay, Minami-san?"
"Never better." She smiled, giving Maki a thumbs up.
Considering she'd just been in a car crash and was lucky to be alive, Maki doubted that statement, but decided against questioning it. She nodded instead. "That's good. No side effect from the medications or anything?"
Kotori shook her head. "No. I'm feeling good."
"Great. I'll get a nurse to come change your IV bag soon, and check on you again to see if anything changes." Maki said, rising.
"Thank you, Nishikino-san." Kotori smiled again, waving good bye.
Maki headed out of the room, gently closing the door behind her.
As she was walking away, she heard a shout from behind her. "Wait!"
She turned to see Honoka running up to her. "Um… what do you say I treat you to a meal some time? To make up for earlier. And for taking care of my friend."
Maki blinked in surprise. Now that was unexpected. It wasn't really something that merited this kind of apology. But Honoka was really cute… "Uh…"
The ginger tilted her head expectantly when Maki didn't say anything. "Uh…?"
"Oh, uh… sure…?" Maki could feel her heart pounding in her chest and she swore she was blushing like crazy. She could only hope Honoka wouldn't notice.
"Ehehe." Honoka grinned. She pulled out a pen and a tissue and scribbled something on it before handing it to Maki. "That's my number. Call me when you have a day off."
"Yea." Maki accepted the tissue, pocketing it. "I will."
"Oh, my name's Honoka, by the way." She stuck out her hand, which Maki shook.
"I'm Maki." Maki replied.
"Well then, Maki-san. I'll be seeing you." She waved a goodbye before running back to Kotori's room.
Maki smiled, taking out the tissue and looking at it. She'd drawn a small heart on it next to the number. It appeared that Maki had gotten herself a date, somehow. And she was looking forward to it.
What do you think? Will continue if enough interest.
