Author's Note: Hello, everyone! My name is Yuri! For this story, I'm deciding to write a Honoka x Kotori story. After reading Satsuki-san's story, "For Their Smiles", or read part of it, I just felt I had to write a Honoka x Kotori story just for the sake of it. I mean . . . the Kotori x Umi pairing really got to me while reading it. The drama was all . . . (sigh)
Anyway, enjoy this little story, everyone.
One Sunday afternoon, Kotori arrives at Honoka's house and knocks on her door. The door opens shortly after and out comes Honoka, wearing a pink summer dress.
"Hey, there, Kotori-chan!" she greets while giving her lover a kiss on the cheek.
"Good afternoon, Honoka-chan," Kotori greets back. "You ready to go?"
"I'm ready when you are!" She waves and says good-bye to her mother and sister as she closes the front door and the couple are off to buy some ice cream.
It's a hot summer day outside and Honoka felt like taking her lover out on a date for some ice cream. Kotori agreed to this and Honoka is even happier than ever. Of course, their other childhood friend, Umi couldn't come since she had a trip to go to with her club. Still, Honoka can always buy one to make it up to her. But for right now, the lovely couple are going to enjoy the summer weather and eat some ice cream.
Kotori links arms with her lover and rests her head on the ginger haired girl's shoulder. "It's a perfect day to go out on a date, Honoka-chan. I'm so glad we're doing this."
"Me, too," Honoka says as she kisses her lover on the forehead. "And hey, it looks like we're almost at the ice cream parlor."
Kotori looks up and smiles. "Cool! Let's go! Let's go!"
The ash-brown haired girl runs ahead while gently pulling Honoka along until they get to the ice cream shop. Immediately, Honoka orders 2 cups of ice cream and pays for them. Kotori giggles at the ginger haired girl's excitement and enthusiasm. Once she's done, the two head outside and sit down in one of the tables with two seats across from each other. Both of them dig in to their vanilla ice cream and close their eyes at the lovely taste.
"So good~!" Honoka says.
"I know right?" Kotori agrees while taking another bite. She then takes a scoop of it and offers it to her lover. "Honoka-chan. Say 'Ahh'~!"
Honoka giggles and eats the ice cream. "As for you, my dear Kotori-chan~!"
"Don't mind if I do." Kotori does the same. "Mm~! Tastes even better with a indirect kiss."
"Hehe~! Oh, Kotori-chan~!"
Eventually, the two finish off their ice cream in a few minutes and Honoka stands up to collect their cups.
"You in the mood for some more?" Honoka asks.
"Yes," Kotori replies. "Just a bit more will be fine."
"Alright. I'll be right back."
As Honoka enters the shop again, Kotori rests her head on her hand as she looks out into the streets. It's been a few monts since the two started dating. But before that, Umi was in love with Kotori as well. However, Honoka had the courage to confess to the ash brown haired girl right before Umi even had the chance. Kotori immediately accepted Honoka's feelings with a simple kiss, leaving Umi speechless and simply walked out of the scene, unaware to Honoka and Kotori. The next day, Honoka and Kotori revealed their relationship to Umi, in which the blue haired girl just simply offered her congratulations to both of them and wished them both luck.
Kotori is beginning to wonder how Umi was feeling right now, even if it was just a few months after the confession. Still, she felt that Umi was just hiding the fact that she's really depressed and is left out. Though, she didn't have the chance to talk with Umi for the past few weeks, Kotori knew that the blue haired girl is trying to get her mind off the couple.
Just then, Kotori notices a couple of guys sitting a few tables away from her. When were they here? Maybe she just didn't notice them while she and Honoka were enjoying their ice cream. She wanted to turn away, but to her surprise, they were looking at her and talking. This is not a good sign. She has to leave and unite with Honoka but the guys beat her to it.
"Hey, cutie!" One guy with a black shirt with a red hat on his head. "Why are you so alone here?"
"I-I'm waiting for someone," Kotori answers.
"Like who?" another guy with blonde hair says while blocking her way towards the entrance. "Seems like your boyfriend or whatever isn't coming anytime soon."
"P-please," Kotori stammers while shaking in fear. "Just let me go."
The guy in the red hat tips her chin and peers his head close to her. "Not gonna happen, babe. You're much too cute for that."
"Come with us," the blonde haired guy says. "There's lots that we can do together, hm?"
"I told you I'm waiting for someone," Kotori says, raising her soft voice. This is insane! she thinks to herself. Why are there two random guys harassing me like this!? I want to leave right now!
The guy in the red hat wraps an arm around Kotori and pulls her close. "So, what do you say, cutie? Wanna hang out?"
"Yes! It's going to be tons of fun~!" the blonde haired guy agrees.
"Stop it!" Kotori squeals as she tries to push herself away from the tall one with the red hat. "Let me go, please!"
"HEY!" Honoka's voice shouts angrily from the entrance. "LEAVE MY KOTORI ALONE . . . RIGHT NOW!"
Kotori looks over at her girlfriend, who is standing with her two cups of ice cream and sets them aside while stomping over to the two guys.
"Didn't you hear me the first time?" Honoka says. "I said let her go!"
"Is she with you?" The guy in the red hat asks.
"Of course I am!" Honoka says. "I'm her girlfriend!"
"Puh!" The guy in the red hat scoffs. "Now we're dealing with lesbians? That's gross!"
"No it's not!" Kotori shouts, making the guys turn toward her. "I love Honoka-chan! And she loves me! There's clearly nothing wrong with us loving each other as a couple!"
"That's right!" Honoka agrees. "So, don't go talking about our relationship like trash, got it!?"
The guy in the red hat huffs and turns to walk away. "Whatever. Let's go. We don't need this." And just like that, the two guys leave without another word.
After a minute of silence, Kotori turns to the ginger haired girl while Honoka puts her hands on her shoulders.
"Are you alright, Kotori?" she asks. "Did they hurt you?"
Tears well up in Kotori's eyes as she shakes her head.
"Hey, hey," Honoka pulls her lover into a soft embrace. "It's alright. They're gone now. I'm right here, okay?"
"Honoka-chan . . ." Kotori chokes a sob as she returns the hug.
"I'm sorry, Kotori-chan," Honoka whispers. "I'm sorry I left you alone like that."
"N-no, it's alright," the ash-brown haired girl sniffles. "I'm glad you came just in time to protect me."
Honoka nods as she pulls away and kisses her on the forehead. "And I'm glad you're safe, Kotori-chan. I promise to always protect you from now on."
"R-really?"
"Mm-hmm. I won't let anyone take you away from me. Because I love you. And that's all that matters."
Kotori smiles as she nods. "Thank you, Honoka-chan. I love you."
"I love you, too, my Little Bird."
With that, the two lean in and share a passionate, heartwarming kiss to fulfill their promise.
A/N: And there you have it. Honoka x Kotori are really a true pairing, at least in my opinion anyways. And I apologize if that scene with my two OCs sucked because I wanted to make the story a bit longer.
And this is another dedication to Major Mike Powell III. I know I'm just throwing things at you, but you're my inspiration to write these Love Live stories in the first place. So, this is a "thank you" gift to you, Mikey-kun. :)
Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review! ;)
