A/N: This is the Mionna oneshot I promised in my first story. Due to some circumstances, it has turned into a Two-shot. This is based on a comic of the same title done by artist Kumichou in pixiv. It's about Minna being mad or disappointed at Mio after the "kiss" that happened. Enjoy!
I just learned from one of my favorite authors here that disclaimers are unnecessary since FanFiction is a non-profit organization. I'm not gaining profit from the things I write here so it's okay.
ONE MORE KISS
After a very long day of training and fun at the beach and their adventures in the hidden cave, the witches of the 501st are having their dinner in the dining area of the base. They were very lively and noisy before they entered the dining hall but when they got at the dining table, everyone became quiet. Lynne and Yoshika prepared tonight's dinner. Dinner was really delicious since it was cooked by Yoshika but they really couldn't enjoy while eating it. Although their dinner was the scrumptious Nikujaga, a Fusojin cuisine and their dessert was Blueberry pie. Everyone ate quietly in the dining table. Only sounds of food chewing and utensils hitting each other could be heard.
It was because of Commander Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke's unreadable expression.
Only three of the witches present knew the reason behind Commander Minna's bad mood. Those witches gulped as they saw her murderous look.
Lynette Bishop tried to break the ice by whispering to the Fusojin sitting beside her as quietly as possible.
"Yoshika-chan, I think something is bothering Commander Minna."
Miyafuji Yoshika nodded at what the Britannian had just said.
"Ever since we got back from the beach, she's been acting strange. Now that you've mentioned it, wasn't she unconscious when Hartmann-san carried her on her back when they saw us on the cave?" The Fusojin whispered back.
"I wonder what happened…" The Britannian witch added.
Yoshika then turned to the Liberian Charlotte "Shirley" Yeager sitting beside her for some answers.
"Hey, Shirley-san, Weren't you with Commander Minna when we were in the cave? What happened to her?"
The Liberian shuddered at the memory of the events that happened in the cave.
"It's a long story. Besides, we can't really talk about it here." The Liberian as she turned to look at Commander Minna's scary expression.
Worried about her friend, Gertrud Barkhorn stood from her seat and walked towards the redhead and patted her on the shoulder.
"Hey, Minna, I think we should tell the Major what really happened." The auburn-haired witch started.
Minna flashed her usual smile as she faced her companion. Fear started to wash over someone as strong as her when she recognized the smile her commander gave her. It was a sweet smile like any other she makes, but with a tinge of aggravation on it.
"I don't think the Major has to know about it, Captain Barkhorn. She should find it out herself." Minna replied in her usual sweet tone but the ones who were present in the dining table were unlucky enough to hear shuddered as they heard her speak.
"Hey, Now that you've mentioned it Trude, Major Sakamoto sure is late. I wonder what's taking her so long…" The blonde witch with the bob cut Erica Hartmann said in blandly while playing with her food.
BAM!
Minna slammed her bowl on the table. The witches winced in response and were surprised that the ceramic bowl miraculously didn't break.
"Thank you for the meal." Minna said as she stood up; still wearing the vague smile on her face. She was about to move out from her place when Major Mio Sakamoto arrived in the dining hall. The redhead starting shooting sharp looks of annoyance at the eye-patched witch. The Major arrived when everyone was about to or were already finished eating dinner.
"Major!" Perrine Clostermann shouted in relief as she saw the object of her affection arrive at the dining area. She was worried when she noticed that the Major was not joining them for dinner tonight.
"Sorry for making the food and you wait. I just finished talking to Junko on the phone. "The eye-patched witch said as she headed towards Minna's general direction.
"Minna, I was looking for you just a while ago. You were nowhere to be found after we went to the beach. Where were you? I was—"
Major was about to continue until the commander cut her off.
"Everyone, you'll have to excuse me. I still have something to do in the office. Good night." She interrupted while still smiling as she started to walk away from the table.
"Minna, Is something bothering you? I could—" Sakamoto replied but Minna just gave her the cold shoulder as she walked out of the dining room.
The rest of the witches sweat-dropped at the commander's gesture. Major Sakamoto "sure is in a heap of trouble" they all thought.
"Minna…" Major Sakamoto said with the worried look on her face.
"Commander Minna can be very scary sometimes Just like you, Sanya." Eila Ilmatar Jutilainen said to her short haired companion.
"Eila, sit down properly. You're in front of the dining table." Sanya Litvyak, who sat beside the witch from Suomus, reprimanded her silver-haired companion in a very shy tone. The latter mumbled something under her breath before she positioned herself properly on the chair. "Is that true? When I usually get mad at you I would just let you know by saying it straight to you." The Orussian witch added.
"This makes Commander Minna scarier. You'll know she's angry with you when she starts acting cold on you. Somehow, I feel sorry for the Major." Shirley butted in to the discussion of the pair.
"Shirley! Tell us what happened when you guys went to look for us in the cave!" Francesca Lucchini said to her Liberian companion with excitement.
"You're still too young to understand things like these, Lucchini. Wait 'til you become a little older." Lucchini frowned and whined at Shirley's answer and the Liberian witch just patted the 12-year old on the head.
"That's enough talking. Everyone who is done eating dinner should go to sleep. Now." Gertrud commanded as she took the role of disciplinarian for the mean time as both the Commander and Major were unable to take the role at the moment.
Everyone started to move out carrying their own plates to the sink.
"Major, Liberion, Hartmann, we need to talk." Gertrud added.
Shirley and Hartmann stayed behind with Major Sakamoto and Captain Barkhorn. They were all sitting in front of the dining table.
"Minna is mad about what happened in the cave a while ago. "The auburn haired said worriedly.
"I hope you don't mind but… Can you tell me what happened after the urn fell on me? Everything became so blurred after that, then I woke up on some garden and saw Perrine crying." Major Sakamoto queried.
"Uhh… Major? It would be a bit awkward to tell you the rest but I guess you have the right to know. I hope you won't freak out though."
The Major nodded. "Okay, I'm ready to listen."
"Well, after saving Minna from the falling urn…" Hartmann began to recollect the events in the cave.
*Flashback*
"Major!" Gertrud shouted as she saw the gigantic urn squash Major Sakamoto after she saved Minna from it.
Crimson liquid that looked like blood splattered all over the place.
Minna screamed bloody murder as blotches of the said liquid were all over her body.
"What is this! Mio! MIO!"
"Major!" Shirley shouted.
Hartmann bit her nails in horror as she feared the worst. Here eyes also widened in horror. Oh shit! I just killed her! She thought to herself as she witnessed the urn fall on the Major because of her own recklessness. Had she not leaned herself on that plank of wood supporting the trap, the Major would've not been smashed by the object.
Gertrud's German pointer features started to appear then she smashed the urn into pieces with her super strength. After the auburn-haired captain broke the urn, Minna rushed to the Major's side quickly than the rest of them.
"Mio! Hang in there! Mio!" The commander shouted as she wore a worried look on her face. She shook the Major's shoulder hoping she was all right.
"Wait a second…." Gertrud said before licking the back of her hand which also had blotches of the liquid on it. A familiar taste started to tickle the Captain's tongue."This is…"
Minna also tried to taste the liquid which was also on her hand and found out that it didn't have the same metallic taste of blood. "It's not blood…"
"It's wine…" Hartmann added nonchalantly. Her mood changed from worried to jaded. Her worries were gone after she tasted the savory taste of Romagnan wine.
The four of them wondered if the Major can handle her alcohol.
"Mio?" Minna asked the Major who didn't answer her after a few seconds…
"WASSHOI!" The Major raised both arms in the air as she shouted in Fusogo. None of them understood what that meant.
The rest of them became startled as they heard the Major shout.
"Er… Mio? Uhh… Major? Are you okay?" The redhead asked the eye-patched witch.
"Yes… I'm TOTALLY FINE!"
The Commander didn't anticipate the Major's next move.
The Major wrapped her arms around the redhead's neck and kissed her hard on the mouth… WITH TONGUE. Because the Commander was so shocked at the sudden action, her tongue did nothing to stop the intruder's tongue. Major was able to gain easy access to the insides of her mouth. Both of them were blushing with Mio red because of drunkenness and Minna because of her natural reaction to the Major's assault on her mouth. The redhead fainted from shock and the eye-patched witch left her on the ground as she started to run away wildly while laughing maniacally and shouting words in her native language.
*End of flashback*
The Major blushed furiously after she found out what she has done to her superior. Minna really did have the right to be mad at her.
"What should I do? She's really mad at me right now. I don't think she likes to talk to me." The Major asked.
"You should really go and talk to her. Maybe she'll forgive you if you say you're sorry. " The auburn- haired captain advised.
"That won't be that easy, Trude… "Hartmann added in a low voice. Something seems to be bothering her.
"I wonder why she's really mad at me. There's really must be a reason why she's cold towards me aside from the forceful kiss…" The eye-patched witch added.
Knowing how her friend really felt towards the Major, Hartmann became annoyed at the Major's denseness.
"If only you know Minna's true feelings …" Hartmann mumbled below her breath but the Major didn't fail to hear those words. "Huh? What are you talking about, Hartmann?" The Major asked. The Karlsland ace glared at the Major.
"To Minna, that kiss really meant a lot. You don't know how she really feels for you." Hartmann said with annoyance on her tone.
"Then… How does she feel for me?" The Major asked the Karlslander.
"BAM!"
Hartmann slammed her fists on the table then she stood up which startled the others. She held her silence about Minna's feelings for the Major for too long.
"How could you be so blind? She's obviously worried each time you're in danger. Every time she mentions your name, she says it with much affection on her voice. Yes. Her hints are subtle but it's really obvious how she really feels towards you!" Erica finally got those words out of her mouth after holding them for too long. She couldn't stand seeing her friend get hurt.
Mio still couldn't the gist of what Hartmann was trying to tell her. She may be sharp in things like combat tactics but she's quite slow with matters involving love. But it did get her to her senses. She must go and talk to Minna.
Erica smiled at the Major and said to her reassuringly, "Just go and talk to her and say you're sorry. I won't forgive you if you hurt Minna."
Mio smiled at the blonde witch's statement and replied, "I'll try talking to her and asking her how she really feels about me."
Sakamoto stood from her seat and started to look for Minna.
A/N: Yay Hartmann! I have a feeling she has something to do with Minna and Mio's relationship after I read those himegoe translations. I hope I did the flashback scene right. I only wrote it as I recalled it. Still working on part 2. I'm trying not to move away from the canon. As my proofreader would call it, "Acceptable breaks from the canon." Part 2 will probably take time since break's almost over (Time to go back to school. Oh the joy...) Hope you enjoyed part 1! If you have any comments about the story, just click the review button.
