Current Time
*bring! bring! bring! bring!* Amane awoke to her alarm clock that always goes off at 5:30a.m. every morning. She clicks it off as she lies still for another five more minutes before actually moving to the bathroom for a morning shower to wake her fully from her drossiness. Then she eats a quick breakfast before darting out the door in some worn out clothes for horse training.
Amane has a place of her own now thanks to Chikaru and her family's support. She rents an apartment that's close to Starbright's stable so she always walks to him every morning.
The day was bright and beautiful which is perfect for training. Amane walked over to Starbright's stable with a few carrots in hand. She always greets him by saying, "Hope today will be a great day boy." Then the horse would scruff down the carrots and some water before rubbing his head into Amane's waiting hand.
"Alright let's practice now." Their daily routine consists of some jumps and timed laps with breaks in between of course. Amane loved Starbirght and would never try and overdo training on him.
"Alright boy I don't would to wear you down to restless because we have to go see Dr. Mimamoto today to make sure you're healthy for this Saturday's race." She patted his smoothly combed main. "Let's go Starbright." So he and Amane now are going to the vet which is about five miles into town for them.
Starbright walked in a good pace there. As Amane led him into an examination room big enough the doctor had walked in. "Hey Amane how's it going?" The Doctor asked cheerfully while stroking Starbright's hair.
"Am doing alright Chikaru how about you?" Amane loved seeing Chikaru. It always got her in a happy mood to see Chikaru so heart warmly happy, especially on a lovely day such as this one.
"An I can tell by Starbright's eyes that he's happy as you are which is great for your next races coming up.
"Yep, he's been like an ox from the start." The bluenette pet Starbright's main once again.
"Hey are you busy tonight?" Chikaru asked Amane. "No, nothing tonight but the usually stuff why, would you like to come over?" "Yes because we haven't hung out lately so I was just wondering." Chikaru scanned over Starbright's legs and body.
Amane thought for a few seconds before speaking again. "Hey how about you come with me to meet Shizuma and Nagisa at the cafe for lunch?" "Sounds lovely, I'll see then." Chikaru ran a few tests on Starbright to make sure he's alright internally as well.
So, after the appointment Amane rode her trusty steed back to his stable and feed him goodbye for the day.
While Chikaru still had to work before her lunch shift Amane went back home to shower and change.
She was done within an hour; the bulenette wore her classic button down white shirt and dark blue jeans with red converse. She went down to her motorcycle (which she hardly ever uses) and drove down to the cafe. As she was processing to her destination she thought to herself. -"Maybe I shouldn't have invited Chikaru to come."- To late for her to tell Chikaru that now.
Amane parked and proceed into the cafe noticing right away Shizuma and Nagisa. Taking note of where, they sat it told Amane that they had brought another person with them. This is what Amane was hoping not to happen but she was the idiot who should have expected it.
"Hi guys." Amane tried to smile but her friends knew something was up. "Hey Amane, what's with the face?" Shizuma asked. "Uhh nothing really. So, who's the girl today?" "Well, it sounds like there's something bothering you." Nagisa now asked. "It's just I was hoping today we would just be talking about stuff and not another helping me find a girl day." Amane took a sit now a cross from them.
"Would you like for me to call and cancel then? I could do that." Shizuma said while flipping her cell out. "Yeah if you could that would be great just tell the girl that I'm sorry about canceling." Amane was slightly better now. While Shizuma was on the phone someone then walked through the cafe's doors. "Hey girls long time no see." Chikaru had finally showed just on time.
"Wow Chikaru? Damn it has been long. How have you been doing? Still taking care of this burden?" Shizuma joked pointing to Amane. "Not really but we do both hangout a lot." She now took a seat next to Amane. "So, what's the newest thing with you two?"
"Well, we just got married not to long ago." Nagisa spoke with a flushed face. "What?" Both Amane and Chikaru said together. "How come we didn't know?" Amane asked.
"We had to make the decision fast because my father wanted to start trouble between us, but once he got to know Nagisa a bit better he became alright with us being together. It was just one hell of a big battle to get there." Shizuma looked Nagisa in the eyes.
"Well at least he didn't disown you." Chikaru said. "What's with rich families and being dishonored by gay offspring? I hate that. At least they're trying to get use to the fact." "Are you with anyone now Chikaru?" Shizuma asked. "No, the people I meet are all too immature for me." "Ha sounds like Amane's problem, sorry." Shizuma closed her eyes in apology. "That's alright Shizuma it's nothing but the truth right, haha." Amane laughs it off.
They all drank their coffee and exchanged some fun times when they were kids before they departed their separate ways. "We all should hangout when we all have a chance." Nagisa volunteered. "Yeah, we should plan a vacation where we all can go somewhere for the summer." "Yeah."
"We'll call each other for a date on that. It would be great." Shizuma and Nagisa waved the other two off.
"So, what'll you be doing when you go back, Chikaru?" "Ummm just have to go back to close the vet that'll all. Why?" "I was wondering if you wanted to sleepover at my apartment; an I've also wanted to visit their parents again. So, are you free this weekend?" Amane's expression was one Chikaru loved. It's when Amane's eyes are slightly closed with that straight smile and head tilted at a downward angle. She can't resist when Amane does this. "Sure, and considering that your race is tomorrow I'll ask my parents if they want to go to your race so afterwards we can all be together at our house and you can sleep over till Sunday. Oh, but we will have to stop by Starbright's stable to feed him of course. Can't forget that." Chikaru's voice suited her expression, happiest person alive right now.
"Sounds great, so, where's your car?" Amane asked looking around. "Oh, I just walked here." "Well I can give you a ride back and wait until you lock up if you'd like." "Sure."
Amane drove, Chikaru's hands clasp around her waist back to the vet's place. Chikaru only had to be there for another hour to close the place down. When that was all taken care of Chikaru drove to Amane's apartment while Amane drove on her motorcycle.
They walked up to Amane's apartment in silence side by side. "So, what do you want to do now?" Amane sat on the couch as she spoke.
"We can talk a bit if you want." They sat in a few minutes of silence. "Remember the day when my parents signed the adoption papers and how we thought we could play together every day? It was fun growing up together." "Yeah and how your parents thought we were going to be together as a couple. Your dad was scared of that happening." Amane said. "But then you got a boyfriend just to prove to them that you were straight." "Yeah like that lasted long, I couldn't stand the guy; he was so attached to me. An anyway I don't really think I'm that into guys."
"Really, and here I thought you really were straight; you're not?" Chikaru looked at the coffee table. "I've never been attracted to the opposite sex…never. You thought I was?"
Amane moved closer to Chikaru thinking she had hurt Chikaru's feelings without meaning to. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have assumed you to be" "No it's alright…I guess I did a really good job at pretending then?" Chikaru cut Amane off. "Wow it's almost 12. You should be sleeping by now because tomorrow is you and Starbright's big day. Then we celebrate by going to my parent's house so that you can sleepover." Chikaru smiled, eyes closed in the process. "Dam, guess I wasn't paying attention to the time. So where would you like to sleep?" Amane asked.
"I guess I can sleep here on the couch." "No no no Chikaru, man I think you just broke my heart when you said that." Amane stood pulling a shocked black haired woman to her feet. "I'll give u a choice, you can either sleep with me in my bed or you can sleep in the guess bed. You're choice." Chikaru thought for a moment before answering. "Well your bed is the comfiest out of the three so I'll sleep with you." Chikaru was a bit hesitate at first before giving in to Amanes pleating face.
As they entered the room Amane handed Chikaru some clothes to change into for the night. Chikaru glided over to change in the bathroom as Amane changed in her room. The blinds were up and all you can see is what seems like a far away town lit up by yellow and blue lights. The stars almost none existent do to the burning light of the town. The full moon glowed the color of a classic gray blotch and as Amane finished pulling on her shirt she went over to the large windowsill to sit and gaze up at the moon.
"Ready to go to bed now?" Chikaru emerged from the bathroom in shorts and a over sized shirt on. "Yeah." Amane hopped into bed first then followed the other woman.
They both laid down with their eyes closed for a while before Chikaru broke the silence by saying, "This is nice it's been such a long time since we last did this. I miss the days when we were younger an all we had to do was run around and play." "Yeah, don't have to worry about working or paying bills just have to live in fun."
"Well see you in the morning Chikaru. Good night." Amane turned over to face the window to sleep. "Good night Amane."
