Nonon didn't have much in the way of food, that had been established. They settled on cereal for a lazy lunch, and Ryuko was putting her bowl in the sink when Nonon came in with her's.
"If we're going to eat cereal for dinner, you're an amazing chef." Nonon said this to Ryuko as she stood next to her and practically threw her bowl in the sink.
"Well you're the one that doesn't have any damn food, troll doll. Like you'd think you'd have enough for at least a sandwich." Nonon glared and crossed her arms.
"Well I'm sorry I don't meet your damn standards, princess. I've been going out recently and haven't had time to pick up anything." Ryuko slightly tilted her head at this remark, but thought nothing more of it. She lightly punched the petite woman on the arm and returned to the living room.
"So, got any ideas on what we should do now?" Ryuko flopped on the couch; Nonon walked into the living room. She thought it over for a second with a frown.
"You know, I don't know. Not like I was expecting this." Ryuko would've rolled her eyes if she wasn't in the same situation. She was expecting to hang out with a friend this weekend, but didn't expect that person to be Nonon. Ryuko's face lit up when she thought of something.
"How about a movie?" Nonon squinted, a movie didn't sound horrible, but not very exciting either. Just as Ryuko sprouted an idea, Nonon got one too. Without saying anything, she ran to her room. Ryuko was about to get up and check on her, when Nonon swiftly came back with a six pack of beer. Ryuko looked at her inquisitively. "You fucking drink beer, troll doll? You're full of surprises." Nonon sort of stared in disbelief.
"Of course I drink, dumbass. What'd you expect?" Ryuko got a little more pissed at this than she should have, and stood up.
"I'm sorry I don't know anything about you, we've only never held a conversation before today." There they were, back at the original one on one argument they usually found themselves in.
"Oh come on, dumbass, you had plenty of opportunities. You just decided to be annoying rather than talk to me politely!" Now they were getting at each other. Ryuko stiffened up and slowly walked to Nonon. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't at least a little bit scared of the towering woman. Just then, a phone went off. It was Ryuko's. The tension that was in the room a minute ago suddenly died as Ryuko took her phone out of her pocket. With a smile, she answered.
"Hey, Satsuki! What's up?" Nonon stood there, slightly shocked. Out of the two times Ryuko and her were arguing, Satsuki called and broke them up. It was as if she knew, although it was probably pure coincidence. Nonon filtered out the lovebirds' conversation and went into a deep thought. Satsuki had broken up both their fights unintentionally, and if it weren't for her, something could have happened. She didn't want to be responsible for any injuries, mainly for herself but for Ryuko too.
Wait, why am I worried about Ryuko? Nonon tried to shake the thoughts away, but they persisted. Was Ryuko growing on her? That damn messy, disrespectful, hot transfer student? Nonon blushed as she went over what she just said and hung her head. That fucking transfer student won't get the better of me. Nonon clenched her fists, and she was released from the trance she put herself in. Ryuko was in front of her, waving a hand before her eyes.
"Hello? Earth to Nonon, do you copy?" Nonon jumped back and looked at the taller woman. "Hey, I was beginning to think you were losing it" Ryuko scratched the back of her head and a crimson tinge spread to her cheeks. "Listen, about the fight," Ryuko took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry." They said it at the same time. They jolted their heads upright when they realized what happened. Ryuko was the first to break the silence. She let out a light chuckle, which turned into more and more. Nonon joined her and let out a laugh. Eventually, it died down and they looked at each other.
"So, movie?" Nonon smiled and responded. Ryuko kind of frowned and walked to Houka's room.
"Does he have any movies in here that you haven't seen?" Nonon thought for a moment, before pushing past Ryuko into the dog's room.
"Okay, first, God damn this kid has to clean his damn room. It's disgusting. Second, he keeps his movies on a shelf over here." Nonon stepped over piles of clothes, towels, even a dish or two, and what she hoped wasn't the chili she had made for dinner a week ago. Ryuko went and joined her in the search for a movie. Ryuko listed off movies with the hope Nonon hadn't seen one, or felt like watching it.
"Ghostbusters?" Nonon shook her head. Ryuko flipped through a few more cases. "Star Wars?" Nonon stared at her with the look of You know God damn well he made me watch them ten times. Ryuko chucked and continued. "Back to the Future? Indiana Jones? The Matrix?" Nonon shook her head to all three. "Come on, literally any geeky movie ever made is at your disposal." Nonon chuckled before speaking.
"Yeah, well first I'm not a huge fan, and second he forced me to watch some of them so all I really wanted to do while watching it was to not watch it." Ryuko chuckled and was about to list more movies when she realized she was now looking at the dog's video games.
"Hell yeah, he's got Call of Duty." Nonon seemed as if she was in a very deep thought, and then spoke.
"I've never heard of that, is it a good movie?" Ryuko couldn't tell if she was being serious, and so they stared at each other for a while. When Ryuko finally realized Nonon was dead serious, she burst out laughing. Nonon, however, didn't see what was so funny. She didn't know how she messed up, so she blushed and looked away. "W-Was it something I said?" Ryuko quit laughing and let out a pleasant sigh.
"Call of Duty is a video game, sweetheart." Ryuko got up and left the room. "I'm going to look for something on Netflix, instead. I hope you don't mind." Making herself at home, what the Matois do best. Nonon sat there, bewildered. Ryuko called me sweetheart. A darker shade started covering her already reddening face. Her feelings for Ryuko should be kept locked down. She's Satsuki's girlfriend, she shouldn't be thinking about her this way. No, even when she wasn't, she-
"Hey, Nonon! I got something! Come here!" Nonon was brought out of her thoughts with Ryuko's yells. That was quick. She brushed away her thoughts with a smile.
"Oh! I'm coming!" Soon after she said that, Nonon appeared out from the hallway. Ryuko had a movie about ready to be played on the large plasma TV in the living room. There was no title on-screen, so Nonon could only guess what it was. Nonon went and sat next to Ryuko on the couch.
"You've seen some superhero movies, yeah? Or at least been forced to watch them?" Ryuko began to smile as she finished her second sentence, contrast to Nonon who began to frown.
"Ugh, yes. At the time I thought they were so boring." Nonon pointed her finger at nothing in particular. "Except for that one we saw with Uzu. Captain America I think it was." Ryuko smiled with her and hit play.
"Well then you're going to love this." Nonon looked slightly confused, but watched nonetheless. Ryuko stood and made her way to the kitchen. Nonon presumed she went to get snacks, so she didn't ask what she was doing. Nonon did, however, take her remote to see what movie Ryuko had chosen. Captain America: Civil War. She hadn't seen that one yet, and if she did see it, it would have been with Houka. Perhaps she could actually enjoy this movie.
As the credits rolled, the two women looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"I will admit, I did enjoy that more than I thought I would." Ryuko's smile got bigger when she heard this.
"Well that's good, it's a good movie and it'd suck if you didn't like it." Ryuko paused for a second. "Did you understand it?" Nonon laughed awkwardly.
"Uh, at least half of it. Like I said, I didn't really want to watch it when I was with the dog." Ryuko laughed and then noticed the beer on the floor.
"Oh shit, we didn't even drink the beer." Nonon looked to where she was looking and sighed.
"Dammit, I knew I was forgetting something. Oh well." Nonon got up and took the beverages back to her room.
"You have a mini fridge in your room or something?" No reply came, and when Nonon came out of her room Ryuko was about to ask the same question. However, Nonon spoke before she did.
"Yeah, I heard you, and yeah, I do. I've got some things I'd rather not let the dog know I have." Ryuko nodded slightly, as if saying fair enough.
"Why didn't we just drink them instead, though?" Nonon stood in front of Ryuko and put her hands on her hips.
"Well unless we're going to do something fun, I don't like to drink." Ryuko looked at her for a minute before she chuckled.
"Well then let's do something fun." Nonon looked confused, and then shocked when Ryuko took her arm and pulled her onto the couch. She let out a little eep as she fell onto the spot next to Ryuko.
"What the-" Nonon began to speak, but then Ryuko got off the couch and got behind her. She almost asked what Ryuko was doing, however her question was answered when Ryuko put her arms in Nonon's armpits and picked her up. "What the fuck! Put me down! I will not stand for this!" Ryuko laughed and put her on her shoulders.
"I know you won't stand, troll doll, you're on my shoulders. Now take me to your car keys." Nonon growled and tried to squirm without falling off. Although she had to admit, Ryuko was strong. But she's also not very heavy, so there's that. Sighing in defeat, she pointed to the direction of her room, and Ryuko was off.
"Wait, why do you even want to go somewhere? I thought you said you didn't want to go out?" Ryuko didn't respond until she got to Nonon's room.
"Well first of all, these clothes are getting uncomfortable, and now I want my own clothes. Second, you need some fucking food. Third, I left my charger in your car so why not." Ryuko stood in the middle of Nonon's room for a minute, looking for the keys. Sensing her unawareness, Nonon simply pointed to the shelf opposite of her bed. Ryuko walked over and picked up Nonon's keys. She went out into the living room and put her shoes on as best she could with a person on her shoulders, however small that person may have been it was still difficult. Ryuko was opening the door when Nonon cried out.
"Hey, what about my shoes? I can't go barefoot and I need socks." God, whiny as always. Ryuko used her foot to grab Nonon's shoes and flung them up to her.
"You can put them on in a second, we've got to get to your car." Nonon squirmed a little before trying to convince Ryuko.
"Well first you've got to put me down. No way we're going to go all the way to my Humvee with me on your shoulders." Ryuko laughed and made her way into the elevator. Nonon let out an awkward laugh and ducked down to Ryuko's face. "Ryuko, let me down."
"No, you're too damn cute on my shoulders." Nonon blushed and immediately shot up.
"Oh my God, would you shut up? You're acting as if you were my girlfriend, which you're not." Ryuko chuckled and pressed the button for the ground floor.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just so easy to tease you, troll doll." Nonon growled and crossed her arms. They made their way into the ground floor lobby, an old woman who happened to be entering smiled at the two. Ryuko smiled back, while Nonon just tried to hide her face. Ryuko couldn't tell if it was embarrassment from being associated with her or anxiety from being with her. She guessed incorrectly.
Eventually, Nonon was back on her feet again. That didn't last long as mere seconds later she entered her car. Ryuko hopped in the passenger seat to an angry Nonon. Ryuko looked at her for a second before saying something.
"What?"
"You know damn well what. First, you pick me up, then you say we've got to leave and you won't even let me get ready. After that you wouldn't even put me the fuck down. What is it with you, transfer? Lady Satsuki needs to teach you how to listen." Ryuko stared for a second before bursting out laughing. Nonon didn't see what was so funny. "What the fuck are you laughing at, transfer?" Ryuko rubbed her eyes and then looked at the petite girl in the driver seat.
"I can't believe I ever thought you were annoying. Honestly, every time you try and yell at me now you seem like a snobby rich kid." Ryuko paused and then looked away for a moment. "Oh wait." Nonon punched her in the arm and put her keys in the ignition. Exiting the parking lot, she drove onto the highway before realizing she had no idea where Ryuko lived.
"Hey transfer, where do you live, exactly?" Ryuko pulled out her phone and used it as a GPS. Nonon sighed. 30 minutes, couldn't you be closer?
As they pulled in to Ryuko's driveway, Nonon couldn't help but notice how run down the place was.
"Uh, is this your place?" Ryuko got a little flustered and answered with a brief "yes" before exiting the Humvee. Nonon got out with her and walked up to the front door with Ryuko. She fumbled with her keys, nervous about what Nonon would think. Ryuko really didn't expect Nonon to get out of the car. Perhaps she should have said something. "If you want me to wait in the car, that's cool." Nonon didn't want it to seem like she was nervous about entering, but it was pretty obvious. Ryuko unlocked the front door and turned to her.
"N-No. It's fine." She turned back to the door and opened it. It was dark inside, and Ryuko kept it that way because she was still nervous about Nonon entering her house, if it could even be called that.
"If you're dating Lady Satsuki, and she's loaded, how come you live in such a shithole?" Nonon almost regretted her choice of words, but Ryuko just sighed.
"We may be dating, but I don't want to take her money. I want to make it on my own. I have to prove I'm worthy of it first." It was a noble goal, but with Ryuko's talents in practically nothing, Nonon didn't think she would get far. She just nodded Ryuko on, and in the darkness, traveled to the black haired woman's room.
Again, the darkness was overwhelming, but Ryuko seemed to know her way around the place. Nonon, however, kept bumping into chairs, tables, and all sorts of things. She clung to the wall, sliding her hand across it in the hopes of finding a light switch. When she found one, she flicked it. Ryuko stood frozen, grabbing clothes out of her dresser. Nonon looked around, staring at the odd item or two, and then looked back at Ryuko. She let out a laugh, shaking her head in the process. This made Ryuko blush a darker shade of red and hide her face.
"It's trash, isn't it?" Nonon stopped laughing. Ryuko wondered what happened to her, then a harsh jerk of her face upward answered that question. Nonon's stern face bore deep into her.
"Transfer, for fuck's sake, you had me scared. I thought I was going to find a dead body, not a college kid's room. Grow a pair of balls, God damn." Nonon let go of Ryuko's face and went to explore the rest of the area. Ryuko gathered her clothes and ran after Nonon to discover she had turned on the rest of her lights as well. "Like seriously, Ryuko. You saw the dog's room. Admittedly this is pretty messy, but it's not as bad as you made me think it would be." That made Ryuko feel a little better, so she allowed a smile to crawl across her face.
"Well, thanks, I guess." Taking a good look around her "house", Ryuko walked to the door. "Alright, next stop, supermarket." Nonon looked at her with a confused gaze. "Because you don't have food, remember?" Nonon mentally smacked herself on the head for notremembering, and made her way behind Ryuko soon thereafter. As Ryuko said, next stop, supermarket.
Ryuko and Nonon returned to the large apartment with groceries, Nonon getting a little red in the face thinking about Ryuko's kindness so far. After all the arguments they've gotten into, and after all the bad things they've said to each other, Ryuko seemed to forget about all of that. They entered Nonon's apartment, and soon after putting the groceries where they needed to be. Ryuko flopped down on the couch while Nonon stood at the end where her feet were.
"So, what do you want to do now, troll doll?" Nonon looked around and noticed the clothes Ryuko had brought from her house.
"Well first you could get dressed, I mean we did go all the way over there just to get you some clothes." Ryuko got up from the couch, collected her clothes, and went into the hallway before turning around to Nonon.
"Which bathroom?" Nonon mentally facepalmed herself.
"Either one is fine, transfer." Ryuko nodded and entered Nonon's room. She hoped Ryuko wouldn't go snooping around, she trusted she wouldn't do such a thing. Now, Nonon was alone in the living room. The only thing on her mind at the moment was Ryuko. She couldn't help but think that even in Houka's clothes, she looked pretty damn cute.
After Nonon had daydreamed for a while, Ryuko exited the room. She had on black pants, similar to Houka's but instead with a red stripe down the side, and a bright red hoodie.
"Seriously, transfer? We went all the way to your place just so you could change colors?" Ryuko glared and then shot back.
"It's not just the colors, troll doll, these are much more comfortable." Nonon snorted and looked forward at the TV.
"Well, anything you'd like to do, transfer? Lady Satsuki should have thought this through. 2 people who hardly know each other won't really hang out well." Ryuko sat next to Nonon and pulled out a beer. Nonon stuttered with her words before forming an actual sentence.
"Where the hell did you get that?" Ryuko took a sip and looked back at her with a smile.
"From your mini fridge." Nonon was angry, but also wanted to join in on the fun.
"God dammit, transfer! Don't go snooping around in my room!" Ryuko stared at her, took a sip, then responded.
"Want me to get you one?"
"It's five o'clock somewhere." Ryuko rolled hereyes, but got up to get one nonetheless.
They hadn't become completely drunk, but they weren't completely sober either. It was nice, they were sitting on the couch, talking about stupid things. It was strange, really; one moment they were bored out of their minds, the next they were talking like they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in years. It may have been a mistake for Nonon to bring up Lady Satsuki.
"So like, why do you call her Lady Satsuki? She seems like another normal rich lady to me." Nonon's brows kind of furrowed, but she responded.
"We've been friends since childhood, and all this time she's been the natural leader. She was class president and all these other things. It only seems right." Ryuko frowned, but didn't say anything else. That is, until she thought of something.
"Are you sure it's not also cause you have feelings for her?" Nonon blushed and looked away.
"W-What do you mean?" Ryuko let out a light chuckle and bent her torso over to get closer to Nonon.
"I mean that you always do what Satsuki tells you to do, even if you don't like it. Like you really, really didn't want to hang out with me, but since Satsuki was the one that told you to do it, you just accepted it." Nonon tried her best to bury her head in her side, and her blush darkened.
"Th-That's not why I said yes." Ryuko barely heard her, but continued.
"And all this time with the teasing, mocking, arguing, and even some things today, I feel you've done them because you're jealous of me and trying to get me back for dating Satsuki." Nonon stood still for a moment. After it looked like Ryuko was done, Nonon spoke.
"I'm not jealous of you, nor do I like Lady Satsuki that way. At least, not anymore." Nonon looked up at Ryuko with red cheeks, to see a confused gaze on the taller woman's face. "Transf- no, Ryuko, I used to like Satsuki, but then she started hanging out with you. I don't know why exactly, but ever since then I've had this thing for you. After you started dating, I tried to lock away those feelings, and distance myself from you. I guess that didn't really work." She ended her confession with a laugh. "It's funny, really; I tried so damn hard to get away from you, and then Lady Satsuki just sent you right to my doorstep." Nonon realized her head had drifted down mid confession, so she brought herself back up again to see Ryuko's face.
It was red, dark red, almost as if she had something to confess as well. They sat there for a minute, neither of them making an attempt at a move.
"N-Nonon." Ryuko began. They sat in another silence for a few seconds longer before she continued. "I had no idea you felt this way. If I had known-" She stopped when she realized Nonon's face wasn't unmoving. Slowly but surely, her head was making her way to Ryuko. Ryuko should have stopped it, she really should have. But she didn't, so Nonon just went further and further, her eyes boring deep into Ryuko's. All Ryuko could do was stare back in her slightly drunk state. She couldn't help but notice their breath smelled unpleasant, but that sensation was replaced with another, greater one. Their eyes closed and their lips connected, and much to Ryuko's surprise, instead of pulling back, she deepened the kiss.
