Konoka's Tired of Waiting

Things had seemed to get as calm ever since Sammy came here, everyone's gotten happier actually. Even Konoka smiled more often than before. Which kind of made me angry.

"Jealousy is a powerful thing."

I nodded my head while crossing my arms, "You're truly right." That's when I realized I wasn't thinking out loud before. I jumped back from my chair in the outdoor café in the campus only to see it was just Asuna.

I let my guard back down while walking back to her and taking my seat. "Please don't do that again, it's not good for you're safety."

Asuna merely laughed while she now had this sugary drink in front of her, "Oh come on, Setsuna, you and I both know we're equally matched!"

I felt my eyebrow lift up while my smile built up, "Oh yeah sure. Whatever you say Asuna."

She stood up from her chair almost flipping it over. "Oh yeah? You wanna go Setsuna?"

I chuckled a bit while slowly standing up. "Let's go."

"Now, now you two," we both turned to see it was Konoka and Sammy right by her side. Konoka had her eyes closed while that beautiful smile came on to her face. She wore this pink sundress that wrapped around her chest with no straps and some brown leather sandals. Even her chocolate brown hair was just let loose only for it to blow into the wind.

Sammy was just walking with her hands behind her head. She seemed like her childish self. She was wearing this blue loose muscle shirt with this white stripe going through the middle, forest green shorts, and some hi-top shoes that matched her shirt. Her new light her was pulled into two pigtails.

I felt my face light up from being caught in such a childish scene by Konoka. I quickly stood up straight while feeling my face get hotter. "Sorry you had to see me that way, Ojou-sama."

She giggled even more while placing her hands onto mine, "Don't worry about it, Set-chan. It was really cute honestly."

I knew I'd popped from her saying that. That's when I even started shaking like crazy from feeling her slightest touch. There was some slight snickering coming from behind us.

I turned my head slowly only to see it was only Sam and Asuna with creepy smirks on their faces. "W-W-What are you g-guys laughing about?"

Sammy laughed a while Asuna's hair started doing this freaking snake thing, though Sammy spoke up, "Oh nothing, I just remembered Asuna and I have something to do, right?"

Asuna nodded her head while laughing evilly, "He-he-he, yes. We do." She quickly ran over to Konoka only to whisper something quickly in her ear. That was probably one of the only times I'd ever seen Konoka blush.

Before I knew it, they ran off with those grins still on their faces. The two of us were the only ones left, but Konoka was still holding on to me. My face was still steaming, "O-Ojou-sama…"

She looked back at me only to slowly let go of my hands. When I looked up to see her face, I felt myself getting weaker after seeing that.

She had this small warm smile on her face while her eyes shined brighter than the sun. I felt my heart skip a beat. "A-Amazingly…beautiful," I whispered under my breath.

She tilted her head while having a confused look on her face, "What was that?"

I shook my head while trying to snap out of it. "N-Nothing at all!"

She laughed even more while grabbing at my hand again. "Come on Set-chan, you need to get healed, right?"

I looked at her surprisingly while feeling myself starting to shake again. "A-Ah, well you see…"

"I know about you're training with Sammy and the boys, you really pushed yourself. I should know because if Sammy was almost dead, I could imagine there is one wound you have on you that hasn't healed properly, right?"

I sighed knowing trying to fight her was useless. "Y-Yes. I'm sorry."

She shook her head while pulling me towards the dorms. "We're going to heal that wound!"

It didn't take long before we reached my room. Then it also didn't take long for Konoka to make me sit on the couch and show her where my wound is. I shook my head while trying to keep my mouth shut.

She placed her hands on my shoulders while looking at me straight in the eyes. "Please tell me!"

I couldn't say no to her. I think I even saw tears merging in her eyes. I took off my shirt while I closed my eyes from the stinging pain. Koyo had burned me from my left shoulder to my right side.

I could hear Konoka gasp from seeing that sight. Though she quickly placed her hands on the edges of the burn. I flinched a bit from her touch.

The light eventually emerged from her fragile hands. The pain faded within seconds, but when she finished her hands didn't move away from me. I opened my eyes to see she was feeling where the marks use to be before.

"Set-chan...you're skin is so smooth and soft it's unbelievable."

I felt my face heat up once again. "T-T-Thank you?"

She looked up at me that made me notice the look in her eyes changed. Something else was making them shine like that.

"Set-chan…"

Her hands slide up from my sides to my neck. I placed my right hand on her cheek. "Kono-chan…" Before I knew it our head were pressed against each other. Her eyes were staring into mine. Both of our breaths getting slow and hot.

She wrapped her arms around my neck while giggling a bit, "You know, you haven't kissed me in around two weeks."

I shook my head while feeling a small smile emerge on my face. "We've kissed just the other da-"

"I kissed you remember that."

I felt my whole body getting red from finally realizing what she wanted. She wants me to take the lead. I sighed while feeling my body starting to shake all over.

"Well, okay…close you eyes first."

She simply smiled while doing as I said. She was still face to face with me. I know this is going to sound stupid, but I don't really know what I should do.

Konoka is always the one who start this whole scene. If I remember right she starts off with…oh!

I smiled a bit while pulling back a bit. I then placed my lips to her forehead. She opened her eyes only to look up at me kissing her forehead. "S-Set-chan?"

I pulled back while giving her a peck on the nose. She had gotten this light blush on her cheeks. I laughed a bit to myself while sitting back on the couch with the gauze on my chest on stomach showing.

"Well, you always tease me, so I thought why don't I do the same thing."

Her face lit up while she got this surprised look on her face. Adorable.

"S-S-Set-chan, Baka!" Was what she said while she turned only to give me her back. I felt a sweat drop because I wasn't expecting her reaction to be like that.

"K-Kono-chan?"

She then crossed her arms and in which I'm guessing she started to puff out her cheeks. I did the only things she'd probably let me do now.

I wrapped my arms around her from behind while I was now on my knees. I could feel her jump a bit from the sudden embrace. My head was resting atop of hers.

"K-Kono-chan…"

She didn't say anything.

"Kono-chan."

Within that time that I said that nickname, her shoulders dropped from her sighing. "Set-chan."

"Kono-chan," I said in an even bolder voice.

"Set-chan!" She started to say it louder. That's when she turned around suddenly only for us to be in the position we were in the first place except I had my arms around her. She had that smile that lit up my day every time I saw it.

I slowly got up off the couch, but Konoka got my hand as she tried to pull me back. I turned my head while laughing a bit, "I have to make sure the grounds are safe."

She got this disappointed look on her face. "Mou, we were just getting to the good part and now you're going to leave? I thought Sammy had her shift today."

"Ah, um well yeah, but she doesn't know how to check the seals I've put around. Some of them if touched will probably set her on fire."

She pulled me back on the couch only for us to be in an even more uncomfortable position. Konoka was now atop of me as her weight mostly rested on my stomach while she pushed her chest to mine. "K-Kono-chan?"

"Ne, you got you're share of teasing, my turn."

I felt my body heat rising again while she got her face closer to mine. Though she wasn't aiming for a kiss, she went straight for my ear. "Set-chan," she whispered only to do something that made me almost jump off again.

She started to nibble on my ear while her other hand got both of mine while pulling them over my head. "K-K-Kono-chan wait a second what do you plan on doing?"

She just giggled while going slowly down to my neck. She just kept pecking at my neck. This was getting unbearable for me.

After kissing my neck she then placed both her hands on my cheeks. That's when I realized something, how is she still holding back my hands? I slowly tilted my head to see she had wrapped my hands with the thin blanket we had on the couch. Oh…smart thinking.

"Set-chan."

I looked back only to have her lips pressed to mine. She was being very rough while she probed with her tongue to get into my mouth. I tried keeping it closed while my hands tried to escape that cloth, but Konoka's hand slipped it's self under my gauze. That's when I jolt of energy surged through.

"Gm-ah!" I ripped the blanket while grabbing at the armrest with my hands pulling me towards it only to flip up towards the ceiling then ending up standing on the floor.

"Set-chan," she said in the most innocent voice while sitting on her knees while her dress was now showing her pink lace bra. My face must have been all kind of reds while I grabbed my shirt and looked away from her.

"K-K-Kono-chan…I don't think we should even…go so far…"

I took a glimpse of her only to see she was just looking at me with the strangest look. Her eyes were shining with love, slight frown on her face while one tear slide down her face.

I jumped back towards the wall while being completely shocked from the sight, "K-Konoka!" I pushed off the wall back to the couch while getting my seat next to her. "W-Why are you crying?"

That's when she started gushing out tears almost sounding like a baby. I just waved my arms around while trying to understand her, "Sewt-chawn…doesn't…sniff…doesn't…find me appealing wah!"

The tears started pouring out while she said nothing but wah. I couldn't believe what she just said, so I did what my heart told me.

I placed both my hands on her cheeks while I stood up on my knees, which made me a bit taller than her. She opened her eyes while looking at me with a confused look. "S-Set-chan?"

I pressed my lips to her only to feel her hands be placed atop of mine while she was still shocked from the sudden action. When I pulled back I just stared into her eyes.

"Never…I never ever want you thinking that. I love you, Konoka Konoe! I think you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. From every inch of your body there is not one part that I don't love. Especially for you choosing to have me as your partner. I want to cherish whatever I can when I'm with you."

Her eyes lit up while he tears still flowed, "S-Set-chan…"

"I'm not done, you don't know how crazy I am about you. Konoka…no one else in this world can ever make me love them this much as I do for you."

"Set-chan," I noticed her face was beat red while I even felt her cheeks were hot.

I got a small grin on my face while my thumb rubbed smoothly on her cheek, "Not to mention, trying to hold myself back from trying to do anything to you, since I d-d-do find you…very…appealing…s-sexy in fact."

That's when her blush got all around her face while even her ears were pinkish. She started getting words stuck in her throat while her hands shook as she gripped mine.

I still kept my smile while kissing her again really quick, "And very cute, too."

She dropped her head while her bangs hid her eyes, but she did speak up, "Mou~, Set-chan that was s-sly…"

"E-Eh?"

"Why did you have to pick a fight with the class-rep right outside the dorms?"

Right when I heard that voice, I knew we both froze while slowly turning our heads towards the door.

"She started it, I mean calling me monkey is getting old."

"Asuna! A crowd gathered again and Mana was about to shoot you two away from each other…I think she said that or shoot them awa-either way it was getting bad!"

"Well, if her and the rest of the girls had just not asked you to do that none of this would have never happened."

The jingling of keys could be heard as Sam tried placing the key into the lock.

I looked back towards Konoka, only to see she had already buttoned up her dress. I pulled back while grabbing my shirt, "N-N-No fair," I whispered while trying to put my arms through the sleeves, "I was trying to hear when she was coming in."

"He-he, don't worry they know I was going to heal you, so they should figure why you're shirt is open."

I felt a sweat drop while looking at Konoka with my eye twitching a bit. "A-Ah…true."

The door then slowly opened only for Sammy to come in with half of her shirt ripped off as her belly button showed, one pant leg missing, hair now loose and messy, and no shoes. "I know…don't ask."

Asuna came in with her clothes covered in dirt and ripped open holes. "Hey guys."

I looked back while just staring at Sammy, "What the hell happened?"

"I said don't as-"

"Ayaka made her sing since some people in class didn't get to hear her from that one time at the festival. So she ended up putting a show on for a whole crowd of girls."

Konoka started laughing while looking at both of them, "What song did you sing?"

Sammy sighed while now leaning against the wall, "I let some of the girls in class choose…I regret it now…"

Asuna crossed her arms while answering Konoka's question, "I think it was…something that had to do with mirrors."

"Ha-ha, the song was called Mirrors. I think the cheerleaders played the music from one of their phones while I sang with it, but as the song progressed…a lot of girls came to hear me. Though it was just girls which is weird."

Konoka lifted a finger while looking at her, "So I'm guessing once you were done singing, those girls attacked you, which explains the ripped clothes."

She laughed while pointing to her shorts and shoes, "These yes," she pointed to her shirt, "This was getting in the way of Mana's bullet which took this part of my shirt."

I laughed while I looked towards Sam, "Are some kind of siren that attracts just girls?" I tried to hold back my laughter after seeing her expression change to an annoyed look.

Konoka started to clap her hands while seeming excited, "Sing a bit! I wanna hear again!"

Sammy looked towards Asuna only to see she just nodded her head while laughing a bit. She shrugged while a taking deep breath,

"Yesterday is history~

Tomorrow is a mystery~

Oh oh

I see you looking back at me

Keep your eyes on me

Cause I don't wanna lose you now!

I'm…looking right at the other…half…of me."

I felt my jaw drop while just staring at her. H-Her voice is amazing! I looked towards Konoka only to see had this slight blush on her face.

"S-Suge…"

"K-Kono-chan?"

She jumped off the couch towards Sammy only to embrace her, "Kya! Sammy you're singing is so pretty! No wonder all the girls came. Especially with the other half part!" She started rubbing her cheeks against hers.

Sammy tried pulling her off, probably thinking I was going to get mad, but I wasn't. I was happy at the sight of seeing her smile. "Hm, it was nice."

Sammy got her signature blush on her cheeks while Konoka was still on her. She nodded her head while getting a small smile, "Thanks, Setsuna!"

I nodded my head while lifting myself up. I grabbed at Konoka's arm only to pull her back into my arms.

"Though, she' mine and mine only."

That's when everyone got light blushes on their faces while even Konoka got a light shade of pink on her face. Sammy nodded her head while grabbing for Asuna's hand.

"A-Ah," was all she said while her eyes on me, I laughed a bit while Asuna laughed with me, until she spoke up and started walking back towards the door.

"We'll be taking our leave now. Sam will staying with me in our room Konoka, that way…you can enjoy yourselves!"

That's when Sam quickly grabbed some extra clothes from the closet and ran out the door with Asuna.

Konoka looked up to me, "Set-chan! So bold!"

I laughed while scratching my cheek, "Ha-ha, well looks like jealously got the best of m-"

That's when she pressed her lips to mine, I felt my face lighten up, but I wrapped my arms around her waist while she did the same.

When we parted, we had or heads pressed against each other. She gave me a warm smile while she looked into my eyes.

"I love you, Setsuna."

"I love you too, Konoka."

"I think I know why she left, he-he."

I looked up at her in confusion, "Really? What could have been?"

She giggled while pointing to her dress, I looked at it only to stare for a moment until I realized what was wrong. It was on backwards. A-Ah...crap.

I shook my head while looking towards the door, "Not good."

That's when she placed both her hands on my cheeks while pushing me back on the couch, "Now let's finish where we left off!"

"K-K-Kono-chan!"

(Sammy's POV)

Asuna and I walked down the dorm hallway after barging in on a very steamy moment between our other two best friends.

"W-Wah...O-O-Ojou-chan dress was..."

I felt Asuna pat my back while she laughed at my bright red face. "Ha-ha that's two people in love for you!"

I looked over to her with my face bright red, so if Asuna and I worked out...we'd be like that? I looked back down the hallway while imagining a scenario.

I popped again.

"Something wrong, Sam?"

I shook my head while waving my hands around like a crazy person, "N-No! Nothing at all!"

She pushed herself against me while chuckling a bit. "Oh really? You were thinking of something naught weren't you!"

I shook my head while walking ahead of her towards her room that wasn't that far. She laughed while I tried not looking at her, "Didn't you need help with your English homework?"

She stopped while even her face froze with this big smile. Took her a couple of second, but that's when she started shaking and sweating. "A-Ah, well...it's just a verbal assignment. Nothing to worry about!"

"Asuna you need someone else there don't you, I can't help, I may not be a genius, but I can help with English. It's not that hard for me anymore."

She sighed while walking up to her dorm room door. She quickly unlocked and lead the way in.

She made her way to the couch while taking her seat while I took a seat of the other side of it.

"So, I'm taking this as a yes?"

That's when she turned towards me while looking a bit annoyed, "Yes, I want you're help, okay?"

I nodded my head while taking my phone out and setting up the recorder on it, "This show record everything and then I can cut out the parts we don't need. Okay, so the assignment was to have a conversation in English right?"

She nodded her head while she turned herself towards me.

"All right, you want to start off or me," she pointed towards me while looking out of it, "Okay, here goes. Hey Asuna! How've you been? "

"A-ah...I have been good, Sammy."

"Great tot hear! Hey, you busy this Saturday?"

"...what?"

I felt my head drop while I looked back up to her, "A-Asuna...doing anything special this coming weekend?"

She scratched her head while looking at me confused a but before speaking up again. "Oh! Nothing special, just going to finish homework, why do you ask?"

I didn't know where I was going with this, crap. What should I say? Ah! I know!

"Ah, hey Asuna, I was wondering, " this way I can tell if she can truly understand what I'm saying, "Will you go out with me?"

She looked at me for a couple of seconds, but then she started to scratch the back of her head while looking confused, "S-Sorry…I didn't get that at all…"

I felt my head drop while looking back up to her, "D-Damn," than again I should probably be grateful for that.

"S-Sorry, I'll try harder, tell me something else."

I sighed while nodding my head, "Sure, Asuna. Be my girlfriend."

She gave me the same blank expression.

"Go out with me."

Nothing. Just kept staring.

"I've fallen for you."

Getting a confused look on her face.

"Gosh darnit, Asuna! I love you!"

"I'm not getting any of this…"

I fell off the couch while feeling my arms and legs twinge from the annoyance. "Asuna…"

"Yeah?"

"You're going to fail."

That's when she grabbed for her head while tears started to fall, "Gah, I know! I'm just no good at school in general!"

"I know. But I'll make it easier for you."

I grabbed my phone while stopping the recording, "Then again, maybe I should erase this."

"Eh! I actually want to hear it again! I think I'm getting it a bit." That's when she grabbed for my phone and started the recording from the beginning.

As it went on, I've never heard my own voice before. It was even weirder in English. I actually sounded like a foreigner for some parts. I looked up towards Asuna to see she still hasn't gotten it through her head.

"Idiot."

"Leave me alone!"

"Ha-ha, well you're better off not understanding."

"I'm home," said Negi while he walked in towards us while dropping his suitcase by the couch, "Ah, is that English I hear? Asuna! You're actually doing to extra work I gave you?"

She looked a bit annoyed while she threw the phone over to him, "Yes, but I can't understand it at all."

"I can help!"

I felt my sweat drop while realizing what he just said, "W-Wait," I said while slowly going towards Negi, "Don't."

That's when the recording started, Negi just stood there while listening to it with a smile on his face. Though once it got to me just saying I love you in English, he stopped it, and deleted it.

"Negi!"

I felt a smile grow in my face, "Negi-sensei?"

"Ha-ha, don't worry. I'll give you credit for it! I'm going to go with Evangeline now for training."

That's when he walked out of the room while walking like a toy robot, thank you. Negi.

"Mou, looks like I don't have to do any work anymore."

"Looks like it."

"Now tell me what you said."

"No."

"Come on!"

"Get better at English!"

She puffed her cheeks while waving her hair and arms around, "Tell me!"

"Nope."

That's when dropped her hand down while looking over to me, "Fine, I'll just repeat what you said."

"H-Huh?"

"I've…fallen for you."

"Asuna."

"Go out with me!"

"Please stop, you don't even know what you're saying."

She seemed to get even more agitated while coming closer to me, "That's why you should tell me!"

"No!"

She looked at me in the eyes, "I love you."

I felt my face heat up while my words got stuck, "A-A-Asuna."

"Oops."

We both looked towards the door to see Konoka and Setsuna, they looked quite surprised, and well Setsuna did, while Konoka seemed amazingly happy.

I shook my head slowly, "It's not what it looks like!"

"She just," started Setsuna while Konoka nodded her head.

"Way to go Asuna!"

"Eh," she said while looking even more confused.

"Asuna…the words you just said just now…means…means…" I felt my face heat up while trying not to shake like a leaf.

"What does it mean!"

I looked up to her while trying to think of the easiest way to say it, "Ah...It means…I like you."

She stared at me for a couple of seconds, until she snapped. "Baka!"

She sent me flying towards the wall, which I hit my head pretty hard. "S-Sorry."

"Sammy," said Konoka while walking over to me and getting close, "Lair."

I felt the sweat drop, but then I remembered the situation I walked into just a while ago, "I'm sorry I have less experience, Konoka-sempai."

"Eh?"

Setsuna's face turned red while she stuttered like crazy, "Hey!"

Before we knew it, we all started laughing. No one mention anything else that happened. We all ended up agreeing on going out to get something to eat.

I was happy we could just forgot about it.

Or so I thought.

As was walked down the walkway leading out the school, Asuna bumped into while sticking close for a bit.

"Baka, I realized it didn't sound right."

Was all she said while catching up with Setsuna and Konoka. I stayed behind while thinking of what she just said.

That's when it clicked.

"Ah," was all I said while slowly catching up to them. "EH?"

She understood everything that one! What? Gah! This bad! I should have never said anything! I'm an idiot!

Little did I know, this was only to beginning of the short love stories of Setsuna and Konoka.

I looked up to see those two laughing while Konoka held on to the arm of the blushing crow.

While the other person was standing there waiting for me, "Asuna?"

"Come on."

And also the ones of Asuna and myself.

"Yeah," was what I said while running over to them, "Ramen! Here we come!"

These stories might start growing into something even more.
