Hi again, so I was thinking about this cute add on scene, but it's super short kind of like an extra I hope you like it!
Basically I switched tenses from second to third, but that's it really. Also this scene is a lot heavier oops.
When Jakuzure confesses to Satsuki, she's shocked when her feelings are not only accepted, but also reciprocated. However, one thing does take her by surprise.
"We have to keep it a secret."
"Eh?" Jakuzure flops onto the couch lying adjacent with Satsuki's chair, making sure she's within grabbing distance of her new girlfriend. "Why?"
Satsuki seems to be expecting the question and she straightens her back as if she were about to address the club presidents about an urgent matter. Jakuzure knows she does this to cover up her nerves, and her grin wavers when Satsuki clears her throat. "My mother..." she trails off as if this were enough of an answer.
"The old rainbow lady? What about her?" Jakuzure scoffs, "she can't seriously be that old fashioned."
Satsuki shakes her head, "no that's not it. In fact, I doubt she'd care one bit as to who I have relations with."
Jakuzure reaches out, snagging Satsuki's left hand lazily. "What's the big deal then?"
"Hold on, I was about to tell you." A light chuckles slices through Satsuki's nerves and she squeezes Jakuzure's hand just once, although the other teen doesn't know who the action is intended to comfort. Before Jakuzure can react to the warmth from the unusual contact Satsuki has released the smaller teen and replaced her with a cup of tea. She takes a long sip, probably wanting to procrastinate for just a few more seconds.
"As you surely remember, in just a few short months we're planning to face off with humanities greatest enemy, and that included my mother. Even though everything is planned to the last second things could still go wrong. If something were to happen and the elite four were captured... Do you see where I'm going with this?"
Of course she does, how could she not?
But the smaller teen has never been one to admit things easily, so she reaches up with both arms, slipping the cup of tea into her possession. "Are you saying I can't handle myself?"
Jakuzure wiggles her eyebrows and takes a long draw from her recently captured treasure. She meant her comment as a joke, but when Satsuki responds she can hear a hint of concern and desperation seeping into her voice.
Maybe she shouldn't have dragged on the conversation, but it's too late now.
"Nonon, you know I don't think that, I'm just trying to cover every scenario. I don't want her to hurt you because she knows it will hurt me."
By now Jakuzure's drained the remainder of Satsuki's drink and passes the cup back to her with a grin, "that'll never happen but fiiiine. If it's going to worry you that much we can keep it a secret."
"Thanks." Satsuki lets out a sigh of relief, "did anyone know about what you planned for today?"
"Only Gamagoori, but I'm sure he can keep his mouth shut. After all, I've kept his little crush on Mankanshoku a secret for weeks." Jakuzure sits up with a huff, adjusting her hat which had slid out of place from her lying down.
Satsuki places the empty tea cup onto the side table next to her, wrapping her fingers around Jakuzure's wrist with her free hand. She tugs lightly pulling the pink haired teen practically onto her lap for a kiss.
The kiss is gender and warm, and unsurprisingly reminds both teens of tea. After a few moments they seperate and Satsuki murmers, "you should make me more tea."
"Yeah yeah."
So yeah I wanted to explore their dynamic a bit more, and I'm happy with it.
