You has a lot of shirts with word(s) on them. Chika loves them.


It's some time in Spring, a year after the third years graduated and Mari misses everyone in Aqours. And when Mari misses someone - she calls them up, demands a gathering and gets her wish fulfilled. So Chika finds herself in a beautiful park of Numazu, where the cherry blossom trees have blossomed and is surrounded by the familiar, friendly faces of Aqours all sitting on a huge picnic mat You prepared.

The unashamed and unabashed blonde grins, but no one can really stay mad since Mari's eyes were filled with warmth and happiness; she really did miss them. "So how's everyone's Spring so far~?" Mari asks without warning.

Dia withholds a sigh or a retort. "It's been progressive." And she takes a sip of the green tea she brought for everyone to drink.

Ruby nods, glad to hear that her older sister's first Spring at Tokyo was going well. "We're getting used to the new school too…" The redhead glances over to her fellow best friends and classmates.

Hanamaru was chewing a sakura mochi but she nods enthusiastically to Ruby's statement. Yoshiko helps fill in the necessary words. "My little demons are levelling up splendidly under my wing! So you all have nothing to worry about! And I-"

"Every day is fun, zura!" Hanamaru reaches for another mochi and passes it to Ruby who gladly accepts it.

Kanan chuckles. "Not a storm or wave to stop any of us, I believe."

Mari eyes the now-third-years. "How about you three~? Riko?"

Riko was hoping to not get any attention so soon. The cherry blossoms falling were beautiful and she was content with just watching and hearing everyone else. But since Mari asked… "Nothing out of the ordinary… Though…" Riko glances to Chika and You for a second and back to Mari; her slight blush made the blonde's grin pull higher.

"Chikachi~?" Mari prompts and Chika doesn't waste a second.

The orangehead stands without warning and announces, "My entire Spring is here and beautiful!" Chika gestures at You so everyone knows exactly what Chika was referring to.

Caught off guard, You spills her tea onto the mat and choked. "C-Chika-chan!?"

Chika laughs as she help pat her girlfriend's back, though she was wiggling her eyebrows in that annoying fashion and You looks down at her shirt to see that she was wearing the one that had the word "Spring" printed on for the occasion. You groans. "I'm starting to regret my casual wear choices…"

Chika shuffled closer to her blushing girlfriend and hugged You's arm at the same time. "Aww, don't be~ I love them!"

You huffs and willed her blush away (with little effect). She could feel everyone's stares and Mari's "whisper" was loud and clear.

"I can hear the wedding bells already~ Right, Kanan~?"

"Don't ask me." Kanan chuckles and puts a ten dollar bill in Mari's hand.

I just wanted to write the part where Chika refers to You as her entire Spring. XD But I suddenly wanted to add on about their new life after Uranohoshi too… :3

I hope y'all still found it cute though! OwO
