A/N: Ahhhh, it's finally time. My first EliUmi fic! This pair is my ultimate otp and I will be writing many stories about them because we all need more EliUmi in our lives. I know the start seems very NozoEli but trust me, it's an EliUmi fic lol. I could have made this an ambiguous fic and reveal the pairing at the end but I didn't want to string NozoEli shippers along. I hope you enjoy!
Eli's giggling could be heard throughout the hallways of Otonokizaka high.
"You're awfully feisty this afternoon," Eli purred.
"My darling Elichka," Nozomi uttered, "how could I resist such beauty?"
The two girls were enveloped in a tight embrace with each other. Nozomi broke her hold and stared into Eli's eyes. There was something she needed to say and this was the perfect time.
"Eli.." Nozomi quickly averted her gaze and stared at the floor, "did you get any love letters today?"
Eli tilted her head back slightly and began to ponder.
"Hmm..I believe I got around five today," Eli mumbled, "it's hard to keep track anymore".
Nozomi looked back up at the blonde, a slight blush began to develop across her cheeks.
"What if I told you.." Nozomi began to nervously explain, "that I know who wrote one of those confessions?"
Eli raised one eyebrow and looked at Nozomi suspiciously. She took a step towards the purple haired girl without averting her gaze. Nozomi gulped.
"Oh, I wonder who that could be?" Eli answered. "Enlighten me, Nozomi."
Okay, this is finally it. Don't screw it up. Nozomi thought to herself. She placed one hand on Eli's cheek.
"I don't know about the other four people but," Nozomi moved her face towards Eli, "one of those letters was from m-"
BANG!
The door to the Student Council room violently slid open. An agitated girl stormed in with her head engrossed in some documents.
"Eli! I need new application forms. Now." Umi demanded. Her attention still directed at the destroyed documents in her hand. "Everything was completed but Honoka decided to be careless and spilt juice on them," Umi let out a long sigh.
She scrunched up the juicy documents and threw them in the bin. That is when she finally noticed what was going on in front of her.
Umi froze.
"Sorry for intruding," Umi said while politely bowing. She stepped back out of the room and slammed the door shut.
H-how SHAMELESS! Umi internally screamed while running far, far away from that scene. Her face had gone tomato red and she was trying to erase the image of Nozomi and Eli from her mind. It looked like they were about to kiss and that really irked her. It made her feel annoyed. It made her feel angry. It made her feel..
Umi stopped running. She was outside the school building. The sky looked warm, as the sun had begun to descend. The young girl placed her hand over her heart, trying to calm it down.
"It makes me feel..heartbroken," Umi smiled sadly, tears beginning to form. "I knew this was going to happen. All of my preparation for this day didn't help."
Umi slowly made her way home, visualising what tomorrow would hold. She knew it was going to be a world full of Nozomi and Eli. Together.
Umi cursed at herself for not being brave enough to confess. However, it seemed like a lost cause. Everyone saw how close the two student council members were. There was no way Eli reciprocated Umi's feelings.
Laughter was travelling around the halls of Otonokizaka High School. It was coming from a certain blonde. Again.
"Umi is so adorable when angry," Eli continued to laugh, "I'm going to tease her about this all day tomorrow".
Nozomi didn't reply. She was finally going to confess but it was not meant to be. For today, at least.
That's right.
There was always tomorrow.
Nozomi smiled and finally replied, "Honoka will be punished tomorrow hehehe". The purple haired girl made squeezing motions with her hands.
"Oh, that reminds me," Eli wondered, "Who wrote me one of the love letters today?"
Nozomi grinned, "My lips are sealed". She made a zipping motion over her lips and threw away an imaginary key.
"What?!" Eli exclaimed, "Even knowing just one person would be helpful".
"Why is that?" Nozomi replied, growing interested.
Eli sighed, "So I can at least let them know I don't feel the same".
Nozomi was speechless.
"The person I like..no, love," Eli continued, "would never write a confession letter to me".
Nozomi snapped back to her senses. "Eli, how can you be so sure?"
Eli was looking into the distance, "Hmm, oh because that would be too..never mind, let's go!"
Eli grabbed Nozomi's hand and began to run out of the school.
"Wait! I didn't even get my bag, Eli!" Nozomi objected.
"Alright, alright, I'll just wait for you here," Eli poked her tongue out at the purple haired girl.
As Eli was waiting outside, her mind went adrift. How could she be so sure that her love would never write a confession?
Well, that question was easy to answer.
Doing something like writing a love letter would be too..
"Shameless." Eli said aloud, laughing to herself.
