"A-Aren't you going to a-answer me?" Neptune asked. If Blanc didn't have anything to say, then why was she here? It was bad enough that Neptune had a hard time coping with her rejection, now it seemed like Blanc was here just to rub that in her face! "W-What are you doing here"
"Neptune...um...I c-came here to...apologize" An apology was a good place to start, as Blanc literally couldn't think of anything else to say.
"For what?" Neptune finally sat up and wiped her eyes.
"For...what I said" Blanc looked down in shame. "So...I'm sorry"
Blanc didn't hear Neptune answer, she looked up curiously. Neptune had a blank expression on her face.
"Is that all you came here for? Just to apologize?" Neptune asked in a dull tone.
"U-Uh..." Blanc scratched her cheek in embarrassment and looked away. Even though she came here to confess, she didn't feel ready. Not yet anyway.
Man, when did she turn into such a...well, such a GIRL?! Love was way too damn complicated.
Unfortunately, Neptune didn't seem to like Blanc's response.
"Uh what? If you're here just for the sake of being here, than you should just leave right now." Neptune closed her eyes, and frowned. "It'll do us both good"
Blanc went agape at that response. That was awfully cold coming from Neptune of all people.
"Well, are you gonna leave or not? Unless you have something else to say?" Neptune raised an eyebrow towards Blanc's direction, making the CPU blush and look down. Crap, she was TERRIBLE at this sort of thing. It looked so much easier in all those romance novels (which she TOTALLY did not read in her free time. That was just silly...).
"I...I..." Dammit Blanc, just say it already! Nothing is stopping you, so why is it so hard?!
"What?" Neptune asked with genuine curiosity. She seemed a little TOO interested in the conversation now, which made Blanc uncomfortable.
"..." Blanc went silent. She was hating herself for how cowardly she was acting, but dammit it was hard. Neptune frowned, and seemed to have lost interest. She turned away from Blanc and looked towards the window.
"I guess you really don't have anything to say. Funny, since I have a lot to say about you"
Blanc raised an eyebrow "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean everything I love about you. Your quiet nature, your Otaku tendencies, how you can go from zero to a hundred in a millisecond. The way you look when you get embarrassed, and even when you get angry sometimes. I especially love the way you react when people bring up...you know" Neptune gave a small smile. "Rom and Ram are lucky to have you"
"Neptune..."
"This past week has given me a lot to think about. And now that I thought about it, I really am in love with you. Noire was always visiting to help me feel better, but I'm sure you know that by now" Blanc clenched her fist just thinking about her "No disrespect or anything, but it got a little annoying. I only see her as a friend, but I don't think Noire realizes that"
Blanc scoffed. She'd be more than willing to knock some sense into Lastation's CPU. Literally. With her hammer.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I love you Blanc. I was hoping that you'd feel the same way, but apparently that's not the case" Neptune sighed in disappointment "I guess even I can't have everything I want"
Blanc was silent as she took all of this in. Neptune genuinely seemed to care about her. Sure she was a lazy goofball, but she was a lovable goofball. You could never really stay mad at her no matter what she did (just ask Histoire). She was the most carefree out of them, and just wanted to have some fun instead of doing boring work. Blanc found herself relating somewhat. Work was always a chore after a while, and she never really used her free time to her advantage. Maybe she should start doing that...
"Do you still have nothing to say, or are you going to just sit there?" Neptune turned back to Blanc, and gave the CPU a questioning look "Did anything I say get through to you at all?"
Blanc knew she couldn't stall anymore. Neptune had went and spilled her guts out, now it was time for Blanc to return the favor.
"Neptune..." Blanc sat closer to Neptune, and took hold of one of her hands. She started blushing like crazy. Neptune was blushing too, but she looked a little excited. Going closer, Blanc had pushed personal space right out the window. Their lips were only centimeters apart, to the point where they could feel each others breath. Wasting no time, Blanc pulled herself closer, and planted her lips onto Neptune's.
She was kissing Neptune.
SHE WAS KISSING NEPTUNE.
Even though she was blushing like hell and her heart was going a mile a minute, Blanc honestly never felt better in her life then right now. It was like the moment she was waiting for, a dream come true even. It certainly seemed that way with Neptune, who pretty much accepted what was happening and embraced it. Blanc had to give her props for not freaking out.
After what seemed like blissful eternity, the 2 girls finally parted from the kiss. Both of them were so red that it would probably burn if you touched one of their cheeks. It wasn't a bad type of embarrassing, in fact, it made them feel warm and sorta fuzzy inside. Like in a chessy romance novel. Neptune had that smile on her face that Blanc had been waiting to see. It made her feel...well, she didn't know. But it was a positive feeling at least.
"...I love you too"
