Hi guys, it's been awhile!
First of all, I want all of you to know that I won't abandon Otonokizaka, a School Full of Surprises. Never! I just had (and have) a hard time writing it for now, because I have too much ideas for this story but also for a lot of others. This is my biggest problem, it's really hard for me to focus on a single thing hehe.
So, because of personal reasons, exams and the delay I already have, I'm only going to write short stories/drabbles/however you want to call my writings for now. Those I'm going to post here are very specific, because they're going to relate all of EreAnju's first times, so they won't be that long and it's easier for me to write those for now. c: My exams end on May, 10th so I'll be totally free after if I validate the year, so let's hope!
The two first 'first times' concern EreAnju when they're only little girls. I'll add the other pairings later (but depending the context, maybe they won't be here), but the pairing that will often be with EreAnju is RinPana! Because I have a headcanon : Anju is Rin's half-sister hehe.
But here we go, enjoy!
[Disclaimer : I don't own Love Live!, of course]
First silly thing -
A five-year-old Anju stands in awe in front of the huge metallic shelf in the kitchen of the day-care center, where she must stay until 6PM, until her mom can pick her up with her little sister Rin and bring them home. Clutching her white sheep blankie against her chest -she carts it around with her since her birth, just like Rin's light pink sleeping cat blankie-, the auburn haired little girl looks around, trying to think of a way to climb on the shelf and seize the red polka-dotted box in which the cookies are hidden ; all this without being caught by the childcare workers, of course.
"Why are you here?"
Anju jumps with surprise, her two startled pink eyes landing on another little girl, who is a centimeter taller than her. She has a long purple braid falling on her shoulder, and her deep blue eyes seem surprised to see another kid here. The kitchen is forbidden ; the adults say that there are sharp and dangerous things here for children.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm hungry." The little girl shrugs. "And Mummy always picks me up late, so I want to eat now."
"Me too!" Anju smiles, and then she points at the top of the shelf. "I was sleeping when it was snack time so they didn't give me a cookie." She pouts.
"Let's take the box then."
"But how?"
"I can climb, I already did it once."
"Really?" Anju's pink eyes widen when the purple haired youngster climbs on the sink, thanks to the handle of the cupboard hiding some household products. "But you're going to fall!"
"Nop!"
She stands next to the sink, her small hands already grabbing the shelf.
"You fine?" Anju asks after hearing her grumbling.
"They placed it higher than usual." She loudly growls, now standing on tip-toe, trying to be as high as the cookie box. "But I'm going to have it, don't worry."
"But ... I-isn't it wrong?"
"It is." The blue eyed little girl offers a wide and cunning smile at Anju, who relaxes and only giggles as an answer. "But they're too busy with the youngest so we're fine."
"Alright. I trust you!"
They both share another smile and the little girl lightly jumps -and Anju loudly gasps at this sight-, her hands tightly gripping the higher shelf, while her feet land on a lower metallic slab. "I'm fine!" She calls, reassuring the small auburn haired girl.
The young adventurer then extends one arm, the other still clutching the shelf so she can't fall. She unconsciously bites her tongue, trying to grab the red polka-dotted box. Unfortunately, she only manages to push it further. Frowning, she glues her small upper body against the side of the shelf, now trying to reach the box for real, without pushing it once again.
"Um ..." Anju holds her soft toy tightly, biting her lower lip. "It's fine if we don't have the cookies you know ..."
"Wai'a minute, I'm that close to catching it-"
Anju slowly shakes her head. This little girl is stubborn, and the shelf starts moving. "You're going to fall so it's not a good idea ..."
"Waaaaaiit ..." Her free hand is feeling around for the box, and she tries to glance over her arm to see if she is still far or not. "Just-a-little-bit ... More ..."
"Um, it's really moving ... You're going too fall like really!" Anju warns, taking a step back. "Come here with me!"
"Wait! It's right here!" The blue eyed girl frowns.
The latter then holds back her breath, thinks during few seconds before smiling. "I know!" And she lightly jumps, finally catching the red and white box.
But before placing her feet back on the metallic slab, the shelf violently wobbles, and few items start crashing to the floor.
Anju yelps, dodging a Tupperware, "Hey! You're- AH!"
She firmly closes her eyes when the shelf collapses, bringing with it the courageous little girl and all the other objects -including the cookie box.
"Oh my God, what happened?!"
"What's wrong?"
"Oh no, Anju-chan, Erena-chan!"
"O-Onee-chan!"
"Hey, someone take Rin-chan elsewhere!"
"Rin-chan, calm down, it's fine ... The crash scared you, but it's fine, shhh ..."
Hearing all those voices and cries makes Anju open her eyes, as she notices out of the corner of her eye that several women burst into the kitchen and that one of them is dragging her little sister away from the commotion. But then, she finds herself, crouching, by the small adventurer's side. The latter dearly holds the box against her, before sitting. She doesn't have time to open it and hand a cookie to Anju that three women already surround them, after kicking some items here and there.
"Bring the first aid kit!"
"But I'm fine."
"Erena-chan, where does it hurt?"
"Nowhere."
"Check her head, she maybe have a bump."
The little Erena shakes her head the moment a young woman tries to look for a bump on her. "I'm fine!"
"Oh Erena-chan, you've scratched your shoulder ..."
"But I'm fine!" She sighs, before looking at two lost pink orbs, pushing the box toward the little girl. "Hey, want a cookie?"
"Idiot!" Anju starts laughing, sitting next to her as she plunges a hand in the now opened box.
First gift -
Since the accident with the shelf -luckily, more frightened than hurt-, Anju and Erena are inseparable. On that day, they went through few things together : the auburn haired little girl helped one of the adults take care of Erena's scratched shoulder. They also had to face the most strict childcare worker together, who lectured them during never-ending minutes ; both were looking down, saying sorry, but it didn't stop them from exchanging knowing looks and discreet smiles. And in the end, they had to comfort poor little Rin-chan together, who had been afraid of the loud crash -and even more scared when she saw that her big sister was in front of the falling shelf.
Even if they did something bad on that day -after all, both had been found in the kitchen, aka the forbidden and mysterious room, and they took the cookie box without permission-, two adults gave them several cookies, that they shared and ate together.
"Anju! Anju!" A voice calls, as the pink eyed little girl hears fast footsteps behind her.
"What?" She turns, smiling when she sees her best friend with red cheeks. "You ran even if it's that hot?"
"Yeah, but I wanted to give you something."
"Really? What is it?"
Erena lightly smiles as she extends her arm, handing a dark red flower -a carnation. Anju's eyes widen as she slowly takes the flower.
"Woah! But where did you find it?" She asks, automatically smelling it. "I've never seen this flower here before!"
"There are some flowers like that in the garden, the one behind the fence over there." The blue eyed little girl points at the fence, separating the garden of the day-care center from someone else's garden. "There's a pink one which reminded me of your eyes but my arm is too small ..."
"Oooh. But this one is super cute! Thank you, Erena-chan~" Anju beams as she pecks her best friend's cheek. She giggles as it slowly reddens, but it does not turn as red as the flower is.
"I-It's nothing ..."
A little bit far from the scene, a small three-year-old orange haired youngster deeply stares at her big sister, before looking at her feet : buttercups. Her yellow eyes divert from the flowers before landing on a chestnut haired little girl who rubs her small and cute lavender glasses on her T-shirt, frowning, too concentrated on her task.
With a shy smile, she finally decides to take a buttercup, and proudly -and bravely- makes her way to the shy little girl -who has noticed her and who is already blushing at her sight.
HEADCANON FOR THE WHOLE THING : Rin and Anju are half-sisters! (they have the same mom, not the same dad)
It was just if someone didn't really read my comment, just to be sure no one will be left confused. :3
Ah, also! I already posted that thing on Tumblr (xcamay if you want to see), but I'm not really fond of Tumblr and maybe I'm going to erase my account or something. I ... I totally prefer Fanfiction, to tell the truth so. It's too wide, I don't really like it. :') and here, the reviews always warm an author's heart up so well.
Have a good day/night everyone! :*
