A/N: I made the story longer! (=゚ω゚)ノ It went NicoMaki somewhere along the way when it was meant to be NozoEri. orz. Anyways! Enjoy the story!
Colorful Olive Juice
It was after school. Nozomi and Eri were doing Student Council works. There were still piles and piles of them and they felt like it was never going to end, but the sun was almost down.
"Let's end it here, Nozomi. We did quite a lot of work today." The Student Council President, Ayase Eri, told her Vice, Toujou Nozomi.
"Okay!" came the reply from the purple-haired girl who stretched. Both of them packed their belongings, getting ready to go home to the comfort of their beds.
Nozomi finished first and was ready to wait for her blonde friend to finish outside. The purple-haired girl started making her way towards the door before Eri called out to her.
"Nozomi," the blonde started with blush on her cheeks, looking everywhere but her best friend. Nozomi stopped on her tracks to look at the blonde who had called out to her. "Uh, I, uh," she stuttered, currently a blushing mess. The purple-haired girl waited for Eri to finish her sentence. "I, uh-
"Olive juice!" Eri half-shouted. Nozomi's face was surprised at the sudden burst, but changed into a grin afterwards. The purple-haired girl then looked at the blonde as she opened the door.
"Colorful, Ericchi." the purple-haired girl said before closing the door and started to walk to the school gates.
Eri was confused. She pondered for a while and then it all made sense. She rushed putting her belongings into her bag, blush growing redder and redder every second.
"Wait! Nozomi!" was what Nozomi heard as she calmly made her way to the school's gate to wait for the quarter-Russian.
Nozomi sure has a cute girlfriend.
Nico and Maki were just casually walking through the corridor, making their way out of school before hearing a familiar voice shouted out what sounded like… "Olive Juice"?
"Was that…"
"Eri?" the red-head finished the raven-haired girl's question, looking at her afterwards with an eyebrow raised. Nico merely sighed.
"It's probably just her and that boob-" the door that lead to the room where the shout was heard opened, revealing a certain purplenette. Nico didn't continue her sentence.
"Colorful, Erichi." Nozomi closed the door. Noticing the pair that was a few meters away from her, she only gave them a smile before walking away.
"What's with these words?" the shorter of the pair was confused, but before Maki could explain, the other only occupant of the Student Council's room went out hastily and ran towards where Nozomi went. "Wait! Nozomi!" was what she had yelled as she ran.
Eri didn't close the door as she went for her girlfriend and the raven-haired girl, being the great friend she is, locked it up and put the key in the faculty. Maki accompanied her the whole time.
After the weird encounter that they had with those Parfait Gays, they finally made their way home.
"I still don't understand what they mean by 'Olive Juice' and 'Colorful'" the third-year huffed as she walked. Maki sighed, she had to explain it to her upperclassman.
"Nico-chan," the red-head then moved her lips, two times in the same movement, as Nico payed attention to it. "Do you get it?" Maki proceeded to twirl her hair after with the slightest tinge of red adorning her cheeks. The third-year stopped walking and so did her companion after realizing that she had stopped moving.
"M-Maki-chan… are you telling me that you… love me?" the raven-haired was too flustered to look at her red-headed junior, her right hand covering her mouth. Maki thought that the orange from the setting sun made her look beautiful, but after she realized what her upperclassman had asked, she exploded.
"N-no! I-I mean, t-those were 'Olive Juice' and 'Colorful'! T-they have t-the same lip-movement as 'I-I love you'!" the red-head frantically explained, stuttering.
"O-oh…" Nico had her head hung for a half second. "I-I guess having Maki-chan tell me 'I love you' will keep on being a dream, huh?" the older of the two had muttered, before giving her junior the best smile she could muster up. Unbeknown to the raven-haired, the mutter was loud enough for Maki to hear and she could feel the 'off' in Nico's voice.
"Wait! No!" Maki held the raven-headed girl on the shoulder, Nico raised her head up to look at those beautiful purple-orbs. "It's not only going to only be a dream, because…" the first-year hesitated for a bit, looking anywhere but the girl in front of her. "…I love you, Nico-chan…"
Nico was taken aback by the sudden confession, but… she felt warmth flowing through her whole body. She pulled her cute underclassman, now lover, into a hug.
"Yep, I love you too."
"Khorosho!" Nozomi and Eri cheered silently behind a bush, watching the whole scene unfold to them.
They were buying some ice cream when they saw a familiar pair in the middle of the road. There was a flustered Nico, which is a very rare occurance for the always confident Nico nii~, and a blushing Maki who was, as usual, twirling her hair. Curious, they hid behind a bush to see what was happening to their lovely child and the tsundere underclassman.
Their ice creams were left unattended and they started to melt. A drop of chocolate ice cream fell onto Eri's pale-white thighs, making the blonde yelped loudly, standing up because of the sudden cold contact… and revealing their hiding place.
Both Nico and Maki broke from their hug and looked at the source of the familiar yelp. There was an awkward silence before the newly-couple started emitting a murderous aura. Eri sweated profusely. The quarter-Russian grabbed one of her girlfriend's hand before running for her-their dear lifes, deaths following closely behind. Lord, have mercy on the Parfait Gays.
Ten years later, the same four members of μ's were in the Ayases' café. Yes, Nozomi is married to Eri and had taken her surname. Nico and Maki are going to have their wedding in the following month. The Ayases, as mentioned above, are running a café now. They specialized on the parfaits. Maki had taken her father's position in the Nishikino General Hospital as both Head Doctor and Head of Neurosurgeons. Nico had her dream come true of being an idol and is now pursuing herself in the acting field.
They had taken out the alcohols and were just a little tiny-bit drunk.
"Hehe~, remember that time when Maki-chan confessed to Nicocchi in the middle of the road?" Nozomi started, making them reminisce the memory.
"Ah, now looking back at it," a light bulb just flickered on Maki's head. "You know, Nico-chan, you were pretty good at acting, even back then," hearing the red-head's rare compliment, the actress was about to tease her before she continued again. "But I could feel how your voice be honest, I don't think I would've heard it if I wasn't in love with you, at the time, to know you enough."
Everyone there was startled from the Doctor's words. One thing they know about a drunk Maki is that she's more honest with her feelings.
Nico didn't know how much times her wife-to-be had surprised her with only her words for the past ten years of dating and right now, here she is, surprised for the upteenth time.
"Geez, Maki-chan, you're so surprising sometimes." Nico covered her face with both her hands. Maki's cheeks were red too, but no one could really tell if it's because of the alcohol or her statement before.
The married couple looked at each other and smiled. Their friend sure is something.
