Chapter 2 - Slipped.

A/N: Chapter 2 is here. R&R everyone. I own nothing! Note [1]: bento box: lunch box.

The next morning, Akari walked into her class with a troubled expression.

*sigh*

Even though she said that she will explain to the brunette about the incident, she had no idea how to do it. She couldn't just say that it was only a practice, considering that it may makes others to had another misunderstanding "So they do those stuffs at home, huh?". But that relly weren't all on her mind. What was bugging her mind since the day before was actually the kiss. To Chinatsu it seemed like no more than a harmless contact that "friends" would do, but to Akari it was a bit different. It was her first kiss, and she couldn't have known how kissing feels like, but she thought it was the best feeling ever. The heat that filled her lips, killing the coldness, the electricity that ran down her spine as they touched, those feelings were extremely pleasant. The blone who was sitting next to her, Sakurako noticed Akari's unusual expression and asked hestiatingly:

"Ano...Akari-chan...? What is bothering you?"

The question snapped Akari out of her deep thoughts. Trying her best to show a smile, she replied:

"Eh? Ah... nothing at all.."

But after she answered, a sudden consideration flashed through her mind.

'Maybe I should ask her. Sakurako and Himawari seems to be experienced at this matter.'

Having those thoughts in mind, Akari started to speak as she look straight at Sakurako's face.

"Have you ever kissed, Sakurako-chan?"

The question filled the blonde's face with scarlet as embarrasment took over her heart. But she gave a honest, still.

"...Yes...a-a few times..."

Akari was surprised, but not much. Since her guess was spot-on, she continued to push at the subject, hoping to find some answers for her own problems.

"So? How was it?"

Sakurako blushed even more as she started to describe what she felt at those times, averting her glance away shyly. It looked like she's the kind that's extremely carefree in any aspect of life, except for romance.

"L-Like... there were butterlies in your stomach... like a kind of drug that you couldn't help asking for more...like that... it's the best thing you could share with the one you love..."

The reply was being detailed, but failed to help Akari as she turned even more perflexed.

'But I don't love Chinatsu-chan... Why did I like it so much?'

As the redhead thought this, however, somewhere in the depths of her mind, a voice was raised:

'Are you sure?'

Akari answered to herself almost instantly.

'Of course! I didn't fall in love with the cute, kind and pretty Chinatsu...'

That wasn't very convicing, isn't it? The few last words made Akari doubt herself. Trying to distract her own mind from the current subject, she asked Sakurako the first thing she could had think of.

"I heard that you are going out with Himawari-chan, is that right?"

Retaining the redness from before, Sakurako gave a small reply as she played around with her blonde hair, obliviously embarrased.

"Y-Y...Yes..."

The redhead couldn't help but chuckled slightly as she witnessed the sheepish behavior. As Sakurako was saying this, the bell suddenly rang. And a few seconds after later, Himawari came dashing into the classroom, hugging the blonde immidiately at the sight, an act of affection which made Sakurako went stiff due to shyness. Pushing Himawari away without really using much of force, she faked some resistance while stuttering like mad.

"L-L-L-Let go of me, Hima-chan!"

However, Himawari just ignored Sakurako's protest and proceed to tighten the embrace around the blonde's petite body, completely ignoring Akari's presence in the process too. Using an bright expression, she gazed deeply at Sakurako's beautiful eyes as she whispered cheerfully, loud enough for only the two to hear.

"I love you too much to do that!"

With that being said, Himawari blew gently at her eyes, which made the blonde's face turned deep red. Akari felt that she was intruding the couple's privacy and left the classroom quietly. As she was strolling around the hall thinking about Chinatsu and the kiss, a familiar figure entered her vision without any warning. It was Yui, the kuudere brunette. Walking along her side, holding a bento box[1] was no other but Kyouko - the carefree otaku. Well, she wasn't that carefree these days. After confessing her love to brunette, helping the girl realizing those feelings at the same time, Kyouko was more cautious. Since she hadn't told anyone they were together, she had to be cautious. Besides, she was more timid when she's around Yui, blushing quite much every they hold hands, hugging or kissing. And without the need of saying, Yui was bolder, only when she's with her bestfriend, of course. It's kinda amazing how a realization could affect them.

'I need to explain to her about what happened yesterday!'

Carefully choosing the words, she approached Yui and Kyouko slowly.

'Now... how should I say it? I can't just say she forced me to practice kissing with her... She tripped and fell on me, maybe? Or she was giving me CPR?'

Akari never thought she would have to face these kinds of problem in highschool, she couldn't think of anything. However, recalling how the kiss felt made her blushed heavily as the heat rushed to her face. Completely distracted from making an excuse to explain, she started to think about the kiss. About Chinatsu. About how the pink hair girl is cute, how charming she is... And also, about how...

"... kissing Chinatsu feels so good..."

"Eh? Akari-chan?"

"...Yeh, the best feeling ever..."

Akari said that with a dreamily face. Without doubt she was daydreaming. And because she was daydreaming, she didn't notice that Yui and Kyouko was standing right in front of her, listening to every word she said. Kyouko smiled wryly, like Yui did, at the act and poked the redhead, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Eh? Kyouko-senpai?"

"Ehehe!~ Does kissing Chinatsu-chan feels that good?"

The blonde otaku smirked as she gave a remark, still holding Yui's hand with one of hers and the bento box with another, wearing a mischevious face. Terror arrived at Akari's eyes as she realized something: she let her thoughts slipped out. To the person that she shouldn't had allow to know the most.

A/N: Ahnnn! They are so cute! R&R please. Chapter 3 is coming!
