So, here is the second Chapter already! Don't expect me to write on a regular basis though, I sometimes have phases when I can't even write one paragraph in two weeks... But who cares?! Here we go! Chapter 02: Wasting Food!
"Uuurk...," mumbled Kyouko and stared at the taiyaki in her hand. Dirt stuck on the fish and it's fin was broken off. Sayaka could've sworn that she had heard Kyouko sob at the sight of the dirty and broken pastry. A blob of red bean paste stuck at the ground, disgustingly similar to vomit.
Kyouko examined the fish with a grossed-out face, obviously unsure wether to throw the thing into the next trash bin or to really stick to her own rule of never, not even in the weirdest of situations, to waste food – no matter the reason to do so.
She took the fin between her fingers and slowly brought it near her face to experimentally sniff at it. But with another disgusted shudder and a shake of her head, she put it back into the palm of her hand to the other pieces.
"Heeeeh..?," began Sayaka with a smirk on her lips. "What's wrong, Kyouko? Doesn't this taiyaki still look at smell incredibly tasty? You don't want to waste food just because of some dirt on it, riiiight?" Sayaka pointed at the nasty pieces. "Look! Even a chewing gum got stuck on it! Two birds with one stone, Kyouko!"
"Shu- shut up, idiot!," barked Kyouko with a soft voice. Yes, a soft voice. The redhead seemed to be close to crying and couldn't get loud and grumbly like she usually does when that annoying blue-haired girl she had to call her girlfriend was trying to mock her. Kyouko's face was flushed and her eyes glowed in despair – yes, she was definitely close to crying.
"You know, thowing away stuff like that is nothing to be angry about... At least for us normal people who don't think that getting rid of junk is hurting anyone. But I guess since your philosophy tells you otherwise, you have to eat this delicious looking fishy and that wonderfully tasty chewing gum."
Sayaka wore a teeth-showing grin on her face and it was pissing Kyouko off so much because she just didn't know how to respond and defend herself. Kyouko hated wasting food so goddamn much and wanted to eath this taiyaki so desperately, but after looking at it and imagining that this thing is supposed to be inside her, she thought she needed to puke.
That damn fish had to fall on the most nastiest spot in all of Mitakihara, a spot on the street so disgustingly dirty Kyouko wondered if all the junk of the city just gets collected here at this special place. The street was covered with mud and of course that damn bubble gum had to get stuck on the fish as well. And all this other trash lying around all over this place even though the trash bin was right next to it. Now the pastry didn't even just had a gum stuck to it, no, of course it also had to be muddy and wet.
"...why me, goddammit...," murmured Kyouko and continued staring at her hand. Filthy bean paste flowed on her hand and just the feeling of the already squishy fish made Kyouko feel sick. This just had to be the worst day of all times.
"Kyo- Kyouko!," gasped Sayaka suddenly when the redhead actually started crying. "You... you don't have to eat that thing. It's okay, just throw it away and forget about it!"
"Bu- but...," sobbed Kyouko and looked at Sayaka with big, round eyes filled with tears. "I- I ju-just can't wa-waste food..."
"It's really okay, Kyouko! Throwing that away is okay, eating it would just make you sick, you dummy!"
When Kyouko still tried to eat the fish, Sayaka snatched it from her hands and throw it into the trash bin next to them.
"You're really a big, dumb idiot, Kyouko! You wouldn't hesitate to punch a cop in the throat and yet you start crying when you're forced to throw away one single piece of food," scolded Sayaka and gently slapped Kyouko on the back of her head. "Throwing away stuff that could make you sick is okay, you know?" Sayaka chuckled quietly. "You're surprisingly cute when you're in that kind of despair, Kyouko." That finally got a really Kyouko-like grumble from the redhead.
"Well, anyways... Would you wait for me here, Kyouko?," asked Sayaka with a warm smile and turned her back to the redhead. "I'll be right back!"
Kyouko watched Sayaka's back disappear behind the corner of one of the buildings with a sceptical frown. Then, her head turned towards the trash bin again and she once again stared at the brown mass that once was her taiyaki and again she cursed her day's fate. But before she had the chance to start sulking again, Sayaka rushed back to her, two ice cones in her hands. She hold one of them to Kyouko and beamed at her.
"Cheer up, Kyouko-chan!"
There was nothing better in this whole world to make Sakura Kyouko happy again than something to eat – and while she happily devoured her new treat, Kyouko forgot about the wet and muddy taiyaki mass back in that trash bin.
Okay, there we have chapter two. One day I'll be able to write really long stuff, but right now I just have those small ideas I just want to write... But soon.. Soon.
Once again: criticism and notes on any typos and grammar errors are appreciated because I really sometimes overlook the dumbest of mistakes...
