Chapter 4

Are You Jealous?

Bold: English Speaking

For about a few days, Ayane and Rin never spoke to each other. Ever since that day, Ayane still has thoughts about the older woman not being trusted since she has gone out with several women or more. She cannot believe this is all true. The big question is still swirling inside her head: would Rin ditch her as well? Since neither of them spoke to each other throughout the week, they never slept together in that one bed at all. Ayane decided to grab a futon and sleep separately since she was upset about Rin.

By the time the week is done and the next week starts, Ayane is at the teacher's lounge during her break. She hasn't seen Rin in school lately, thought they walked together. However, they still haven't spoken to each other. Ayane knows how much Rin has deceived the few women she dated. She will not be one of them.

Suddenly, a head pops out from the other side, tilting her head in concern. "Something wrong, Ayane-sensei?"

"Huh? Oh!" Ayane whips her head up to see the newcomer, Hiroko Takashiro, an art teacher that just transferred a few days earlier. "Takashiro-sempai!"

"If you want to talk about something, I'm always here to lend an ear~" the redhead says as she walks by the younger violet.

Ayane can see from her expression that it's genuine and honest. She already feels close to her, just from her speaking to her this way. With a little nod, she explains everything.

"Hmmmm...what you could do is try talking to Rin yourself," Hiroko advises. "Now I don't know fully about your relationship with her, only you. So, that's the best advice I could give."

Ayane thinks about it for a moment. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to talk to Rin after school just to hear her side of the story. She smiles at the red-head, nodding. "Thanks, Takashiro-sempai! You may be new here, but you can also be a great listener~"

"Thanks, I'm glad I could help. Since we're such in a good mood, how about I treat you to lunch?"

"That sounds wonderful~"

The two stand up and head to the cafeteria together to grab some lunch, talking and laughing along the way. Unfortunately, Rin happens to walk out from a corner to witness this. Though she doesn't show it, her hand clenches to a fist and just turns her head to walk the other way.

**Later**

"Ahhhh~! I'm stuffed!" Ayane says as she stretches out her arms while she and Hiroko are walking from the cafeteria after they were done eating. "Thanks again, Takashiro-sempai~"

"Don't mention it," the red-head says. "You know I'll always be there to talk to whenever you need it. Okay?"

"I'll make sure of it." For Ayane, this teacher is actually pretty sweet. Sure she's attractive, but personality wise, she's really kind and helpful. Maybe she can depend on her from now on.

As the two are going separate ways to go to their respective classrooms, Ayane takes notice of a happy blonde teacher taking notice of her and waves.

"Hiii~!" The woman seems to be speaking English so fluently.

"Oh, h-hello." Ayane waves. "I'm actually going to class, so I'm going to be late."

"Oh, don't worry~!" The blonde teacher gives a thumbs up. "I love saying hi to my fellow teachers! My name is Suomi, by the way~"

"Ah, I'm Ayane," the violet haired teacher bows. "It's a pleasure to meet you." As she straightens up, she could've sworn that she saw something twinkle on the blonde teacher's ring finger on her right hand.

"Likewise~!" Suomi says. "Well then, good luck on your next class! I'm off to the English room. See ya~!" With that, the blonde teacher trots away with Ayane looking back with a small smile.

"She seems so energetic today," Ayane says to herelf. "And what's with that ring on her finger? She's possibly married, right? But…to who exactly?"

**Later**

The day goes by quickly and Ayane's shift is done. She stretches out her arms and stands up from her chair to gather her things and head toward the dorm. Hiroko is doing the same thing as she picks up her purse and scoots her chair in.

"Have a good rest of the afernoon, Ayane," Hiroko says.

"You too!" Ayane replies.

WIth a nod, the red haired teacher starts to leave, but not before Ayane can see a twinkle on her right hand. THere's a wedding ring on her ring finger and it just surprises Ayane.

"Wow!" she says to herself. "Two married women I have seen today. I wonder what their husbands are like."

Ayane makes it to her dorm room, but pauses for a second. Rin may have entered before her, so things will be a little awkward between the two of them. However, she has to talk to her somehow, probably apologize about the last few days of distancing herself from her. But...it's now or never.

She opens the door and sure enough, there is Rin, sitting on the bed, reading a book, emotionless as ever. Taking a few deep breaths, she steps toward her.

"Ummm...Rin-sensei?" she asks, leaning down towards her. "Do you mind if we talk?"

"Hm? What's there to talk about?" Rin asks, refusing to lift her eyes from her book.

"Well, I just have something important to tell you," Ayane says. "Y-you know...about a few days ago, ummm..." Before she can say anything else, Rin tosses her book aside and stands up, making Ayane back away a step.

"R-Rin-sensei?"

The older violet steps closer to her. "Did anyone happen to do anything with you today?"

"W-well, ummm..." Ayane is sweating from nervousness. "I guess you can count Takashiro-sempai and..."

"And...what did you two do?"

"W-we just ate lunch together...and stuff..." Ayane tries to explain, tapping her index fingers together. This situation is making her more and more nervous. How in the world did Rin go into this subject?

"Did Takashiro do anything...special with you? Come on, be honest," Rin pushes, making Ayane back away another step.

"W-would you stop asking these scary questions and go back to MY problem, please?" the younger violet waves her arms back and forth, only to get wall slammed with Rin's hand next to her head in a flash, making her squeak.

"Listen...to me," Rin says coldly. "Do not let anyone...I mean, ANYONE, get their hands on you, you hear?"

"Eh...ehhh?" Ayane says. Her body is trembling from Rin's scary expression.

"Remember that," With that, the older violet turns around and heads toward the bathroom to go take a bath.

Ayane drops to her knees, wondering what in the world is going on. "Did I...do something wrong?"

**Next Day**

"Ayane, what's gotten you down in the dumps?" Hiroko asks as she notices the younger violet's head on the desk, whimpering.

"I think she hates me..." Ayane replies. "I tried talking to her about how I felt, but she goes and gives me the cold stare, like I did something wrong." She looks up at the red-head. "Did I do something wrong, sempai!?"

"Uhhhh...no?" Hiroko replies, sweat dropping. "I don't...think you did."

"Hey, what's going on?" Suomi steps into the staff room.

"Ayane's in a predicament right now," Hiroko replies.

"Ah, would you mind telling me what it is? Maybe I can help," the blonde goes next to the violet.

"I'm...I'm kinda in this relationship with Rin-sensei," Ayane explains.

"Ahhhh, the full on lesbian who goes out with a lot of girls? Yes, I've heard of her~" Suomi says, putting a finger up.

"Well..." Ayane continues. "I lashed out at her, telling her I can't trust her and then we distanced ourselves for a few days. Then, Takashiro-sempai gave me advice to just talk to her how I feel. But...when I tried to, she went, 'Do not let anyone touch me' or something." She looks up at the blonde, who is grinning. "Eh!? This is serious, Suomi-sensei!"

"I do know what's going on!" the blonde says. "She's jealous~!"

"Jealous?" Hiroko says. "There's no way we could've done anything to make her jealous."

"What did you two do yesterday?" Suomi asks.

"We ate lunch together and had a good time," Hiroko answers.

"Then there it is!" The blonde snaps her fingers. "There's your proof! Rin must have saw you two talking and wanted to hide her jealousy until Ayane got home."

Ayane is stunned by Suomi's explanation. She places a hand to her beating heart. "She said all that...because she was jealous?"

Suomi puts a hand on her shoulder. "That's right. That also proves she loves you very much. Sure she has gone out with more women than I can count, but if she really means it, then she must have found her true love."

"That's what she said to me. I'm her true love," Ayane says.

"Won't you give her a chance?" Suomi says softly, leaning down to face the younger violet. "I mean, I don't know how far you've gotten, but I feel that you two deserve each other. Rin has finally made up her mind."

"Suomi-sensei..." Ayane stares at the blonde.

Hiroko stands by Suomi's side with a gentle smile. "Suomi's right, Ayane. Give Rin a chance. You two need to make up right now."

The younger violet looks back and forth at her two friends, realizing that they are right. She can't let things keep getting awkward if she tries anything like keeping distance. If they say Rin has finally made up her mind, then she'll go to her. "Thank you, Sempai...Suomi-sensei. You two are a big help~"

"No problem!" Suomi says. "I'm sure my wife and I will gladly support your relationship every step of the way~"

There is a long silence with Ayane tilting her head in adorable confusion. "Er...what? Wife?"

"EHehe! I guess you haven't realized~" Suomi takes Hiroko's hand and steps closer to her. "WE are married~"

"M-M-M-Marri-WHAAAAAA!?" Ayane squeaks, almost falling out of her chair. "Wh-why wasn't I told!?"

"You never asked~!" Hiroko chuckles.

"S-so those rings I saw on your fingers...you two don't have husbands?"

"Whaaaa~?" Suomi laughs. "Ehehe! We get that a lot, yes! We've been keeping this a secret after all~"

"Ahhhhh, so that's why," Ayane says. "W-well then...congratulations!"

Suomi nods. "Thank you! We really appreciate it!"

"Hopefully we get to see you two as wives very soon," Hiroko says. "Then, we can go on double dates whenever we want to."

"That's a great idea!" Suomi cheers.

"Now then, after school, you go get her," Hiroko says. "Give Rin what she truly wants."

"I will!" Ayane pumps a fist with a determined expression. Now she feels more confident than before.

The three teachers hug each other and pull away to go to their respective classrooms. Ayane will make up with Rin and start over to work their relationship out.

**At the Dorms**

Rin sits on the bed, reading a book again. But she just stares at the page longer than she would usually, thinking back on how she treated Ayane yesterday. She lets out a sigh and sets the book aside.

"Maybe I shouldn't have done that..." she says to herself. "She looked really scared the last thing I looked at her before taking a bath. Maybe I should apologize..."

Before she can do anything, the door swings open, revealing an exhausted Ayane and she looks up at the older violet.

"Ayane...mmmmph!" The younger violet plunges herself against the older violet, crashing her lips against hers while cupping both hands to her cheeks.

Ayane pulls away and gazes into Rin's beautiful red ones. "Rin-sensei! I love you! I love you so much! Please...forgive me for treating you so wrongly! Let's start over okay? Right from the beginning! Now I know how you truly feel about me."

Rin gapes at her words, but smiles a gentle smile. "Ayane...I apologize for treating you wrongly without considering your feelings. Yes...let's start over. Begin a new journey."

The two violet haired teachers share another passionate kiss to seal the deal. Ayane no longer has to worry about Rin's ongoing antics about going out with other women. Rin has truly decided what she wants and will stay that way for as long as she lives. With Ayane by her side, it has become more wonderful than she could imagine.
