Okay guys another UmiMaki fanfic because this pairing needs more love.
xXx
Eyes, the most mesmerizing set of jewels you could ever set sights on, you could stare at them forever and never get bored. The owner of the eyes was currently curled up against her friend, sighing as the familiar feeling of soft fingers ran through her hair and caressed her head. Her fine tips massaging her scalp and rubbing her ears, she pulled back the red locks, placing them behind the girls ears. The girl was so relaxed a soft almost inaudible purr escaped her lips, her ears twitching as the other girls fingers caressed them with much care and gentleness like they would break apart if she were too rough.
Maki stretched her limbs and laid back down. She would be lying if she said she wasn't enjoying this, after all Umi was probably the only person who is allowed to do this. The pianist tilted her head slightly so now she could look at the archer from the corner of her eyes truly mesmerizing she thought.
In all honesty the red-head hadn't been expecting this at the start of the day. In fact she came into school with a more grumpy mood than usual. To which after school she was too exhausted to walk home and so instead she stayed with all the second years since they still had school council business to take care of and of course as if Maki had the best luck in the world, Honoka and Kotori had to leave the room, leaving both her and Umi alone.
So she simply bit the dust and decided to place her head onto Umi's shoulders, though her cheeks got a colorful red complexion when she did so. Even still, she was enjoying the sensation of the blue haired girl running a gentle hand through her hair.
This doesn't mean anything. I mean its not like were together or anything. That thought made her heart sink, only for it to start to pound again when pictures of them kissing entered her mind. That was one of the best and embarrassing times of her life. All thanks to me Maki shook her head, to relaxed to listen to her little voice.
After the two got caught in the action by the third years, they would keep quiet about it for now. But that doesn't mean the both of them don't think about it. In fact it was all Maki could think about, she always lost concentration when working on a new song or even watching the TV, her thoughts would always wander back to Umi and that moment they shared. The pianist sighed, if only she could say it, just 3 little words that get used too much and most of the time people don't even mean it.
I love you.
It was easy enough saying them in your head, but saying them out loud with meaning is a lot harder. If Maki was honest, she was actually very scared, scared to finally have enough courage to say the words, but not having them said back, not that she would admit that out loud. Even if it was Umi, one of the kindest people you could meet, but that doesn't mean she's not truthful, even though she doesn't like hurting people or their feelings, she would always be honest, it was just the way the girl was brought up.
Maki felt the other girl fidget under her and her first reflex was to pretend to be asleep. "Maki?" she heard the archer call but she didn't answer, suddenly the stroking stopped much to the red heads disappointment. She could feel the archers gaze on her and she mentally cursed for the fact that she couldn't look into those amber orbs that she was so deeply in love with.
Suddenly she heard a small chuckle and a pair of soft lips kiss the top of her head. Maki couldn't take it any longer, she pretended to wake up, fake yawning and then rubbing her eyes like she would do in the morning. The red-head lifted her head off Umi's shoulders, before looking at her directly in the eyes. Umi was smiling at her, in all truth she really couldn't help it, who knew the mature first year could look cute by just waking up? hehe she mentally laughed at her thoughts.
"Finally awake?" the blue haired girl asked. Maki just gave her a small grin in return, she always acted like this when around the other girl, her personality would just, well...change, it was like a whole new person had taken over her body and yet it only happened around Umi I wonder why?. If anyone would tell her friends how she acted around the archer, the group would probably laugh at them and call them crazy. Though the second year wasn't much better, she became very smug and relaxed around the red-head and like with what happened before, she even became very bold, but it wouldn't last long eventually her timid and easily embarrassed personality would return.
No, the amount of times the first year has to tell herself that word in a day. She was kind of getting used at controlling her urges when being with Umi, but sometimes when they find themselves alone it became a little well...difficult. I mean the archer could be so charming and irresistible, she didn't regret what happened in the music room or the student council room, who would? it was one of the best moments the red-head has ever had. Those soft pink lips on hers, moving in sync as they wrapped their arms around each other, enjoying each others warmth.
Aww young love~ Maki almost hit her own head.
"Umi can I ask you something?" the red-head said without thinking, soon regretting it as the archer looked at her and waited for her to continue. She didn't know what to say, she had no idea why she asked the question in the first place and she started to search her brain for something, anything to say without sounding weird. "umm I-I mean um tomorrow...would you like to um...maybe come over...and we could um work on the song together?" she mentally face palmed herself for how weak she was being now. Hehe you're hopeless.
The archer gave her a quizzical look. But soon shrugged it off and accepted the offer "sure I would love to" the response made the first year go the same colour as her hair and she looked away in embarrassment.
"O-okay then...I'll see you tomorrow" she said standing up and quickly leaving the room, leaving Umi more confused than she was before. Once the pianist had left, Umi let out a needed breath trying her best to calm her racing heart. She mentally thanked the heavens that Maki didn't notice the wild muscle pounding against her ribcage.
Looking at the time, the second year also decided to call it a day. Collecting all her stuff, before heading home herself.
At least she had something to look forward to tomorrow.
xXx
"That was seriously painful to watch" Honoka said cringing at the behavior she had just witnessed.
"I thought it was really cute, those two are so adorable together" Kotori stated clutching her head and bouncing up and down while squealing. "Just think, what it would be like if Maki-chan and Umi-chan got together? it would be the cutest thing ever"
Honoka giggled at the thought and her friends behavior. "True but its clear to see they need a gentle push into the right direction. I don't think I could handle watching another scene like that without cringing" the pair giggled at that.
"Alright but should we tell the others?" Kotori asked.
Honoka gave it a thought."Maybe some extra hands would be a good idea. Alright tomorrow we will be announcing our new goal"
The brunette gave her a confused glace "and that is?"
The ginger haired girl grinned at her before leaping onto a nearby chair, placing her hands on her hips in a hero like pose.
"Operation amber and purple"
