...
As summer vacation was now in full swing with the days getting much longer and the nights getting shorter, and with the summer festival that was going to be happening tonight, Yuzu decided to arrange for everyone to go to the festival together, Mei being the only one that she needed to really persuade while all of the others were more than happy to come along.
Now standing in the bathroom Yuzu looked at her tied up hair in the mirror, neatening it up a little as she then smiled and nodded in satisfaction, looking over her yukata and turning in the mirror slightly checking to see if she had tied it up right at the back.
Before she then heard her phone buzzing a little, telling her that she had just gotten a text message. Picking up her phone from where it had been placed on the sink, and smiling when she looked to the screen and read the text message that she had just received.
Meanwhile Mei sat on her and Yuzu's bed holding a small mirror up and looking to her hair, sighing slightly as she had tried to tie it up by herself, but since she wasn't all that experienced in styling her hair she didn't seem to have done a very good job of tying a simple bun in it.
Looking to her tangled up hair, and trying to fix it to look neat, but only being able to untangle a few of the knots that she had made in her hair, putting down the mirror now as she gave up and figured she would just have to ask for Yuzu's help after all, since she would definitely know more about this kinda thing than she did.
"Mei Yuma-chan just messaged me, she said that she and Hotaru were just meeting up with Matsuri and the others so…" Yuzu paused as she came walking into her and Mei's room now, her eyes widened upon seeing Mei trying to fix her tangled up hair, and smiling as she just folded her arms now slightly while looking to the younger girl.
"You need a little help?" the blonde asked as she raised an eyebrow to her sister. Mei just turning her head and looking back to Yuzu with a blank stare, before she glanced away from the elder girl and just nodded slightly.
Now walking over to the bed and kneeling behind Mei, Yuzu gently combed her fingers through her sister's silky black hair, untangling it and letting it fall freely down her back, before she started to tie it up in a neat bun, the same way that hers was tied up right now.
A small silence now fell on the two of them as Mei sat sighing a little feeling her hair being gently tugged as Yuzu tied it up, the elder girl smiling as she happily just took her time with slowly tying up her girlfriend's long hair, loving the way it felt so silky against her skin.
"Do you think you'll enjoy tonight Mei?"
Yuzu asked as she looked to Mei with a content smile, but at the same time was wondering if Mei was going to like going to the festival with everyone else tonight, after all she wasn't very much of a social person when it came to all of them going on trips together like this.
"How am I supposed to know that when we haven't even gone yet?" Mei asked back, glancing back to Yuzu out of the corner of her eye, feeling like the blonde was taking a little too long to tie her hair up, as they really should be getting a move on if they didn't want to keep all the others waiting for them.
"I guess that's true…" Yuzu paused now as she chuckled nervously, before her smile formed into a slight frown, as she let a slight sigh leave her lips, "Mei…I know I dragged you into this, but if you really don't want to go you don't have to," she stated not wanting to feel like she would have to force Mei into coming along tonight, and not seeing what the point of persuading her to come would have been if the younger girl just ended up wanting to return back home all through the night.
Mei not answering for a moment as she widened her eyes a little, turning her head to look to Yuzu now, the blonde just looking nervously back to her, a little worried for what the younger girl just might say, as she didn't want Mei to come if she wasn't going to enjoy herself, but she also didn't want to just leave her alone at home for the night and go without her, although she figured that Mei would most probably be just fine with that.
However a moment later Mei just simply shrugged her shoulders and glanced away from Yuzu again, "What would be the point of staying at home now, when I'm already dressed for the festival, plus all the others are expecting me to be coming as well right?" she asked now glancing only slightly back to Yuzu feeling the blonde stop what she was doing for a moment, as she seemed a little taken aback by Mei's answer.
Yuzu looked a little lost for words now as she didn't know how to respond at first, Mei tilting her head back slightly now as she looked to Yuzu with a wondering expression, "And you want me to come too, right?" she asked, her voice sounding like it was now lower than before as she simply waited for Yuzu's reply.
Yuzu just nodding now as she didn't know any other way of responding, her mind still not being able to find the words to answer Mei and so just swallowed slowly while nodding in reply. Her emerald eyes widening again as Mei turned round slightly to face her now and looked to her with a softened expression.
"What's that expression for, you're happy that I agreed to come, aren't you?" the younger girl asked as she really didn't mind coming along to this festival tonight with all the others, just as long as she got to come home and go to bed at a relatively early time still then she didn't see tonight being too much of a bother for her.
Yuzu just smiling now as she let go of Mei's hair, wrapping her arms around the younger girl and hugging her tightly, "Of course I'm happy, and I really do appreciate it Mei," she stated as she happily nuzzled into Mei's neck. While Mei just relaxed in the elder girl's embrace, resting a hand on top of Yuzu's arm, and waiting for her to let go of her. Soon Yuzu just smiling to Mei now as she slowly removed her arms from where they were holding her sister and went back to tying up her long black hair again.
"The others have already met up right?" Mei asked now going back to facing away from her sister, and just waited until Yuzu was done with tying her hair up.
"Yeah, Yuma-chan messaged me that they'll be waiting for us," Yuzu answered with a smile as she now didn't feel so guilty about asking Mei to come along tonight anymore, and was now back to taking her time again, forgetting for a little bit that they needed to be at the festival soon so that they could meet up with everyone else.
"Then we shouldn't keep them waiting for much longer, right?" Mei asked looking to Yuzu with a raised eyebrow, and giving her the message to basically hurry up with what she was doing so that they could be leaving soon.
"R-right, sorry Mei,"
Yuzu smiled nervously as she got the message that Mei was hinting at her, and now quickly finished off tying her sister's hair up, checking both her own and Mei's hair and outfits one last time just before they said goodbye to their Mother and left out the door, ready to set off for where the summer festival was being held, and where they would be meeting up with all the others tonight.
…...
Yuzu and Mei now having arrived at the festival, looking around for all their friends while they stayed close to one another as to not get separated since there were quite a lot of people at the festival tonight. The two stood looking around for all the others, Yuzu trying to see past the crowds that were all around them, and sighing slightly when she couldn't spot any of their friends anywhere.
"There sure are a lot of people here," the blonde stated standing on her tip-toes and trying to see over the crowds of people, wondering where the others were and if they would even be able to find them amongst all these people.
"They said that they would be waiting for us right?" Mei asked as she too was looking round for all the others that they were supposed to be meeting here.
"Yeah, but I don't see them anywhere here…" Yuzu trailed off slightly as she now felt someone bump into her, the person apologizing politely, before continuing to walk past her as she just smiled to the stranger nervously and watched them leave.
'This place really is packed, maybe I should have arranged for us to all come later in the evening or something,' the blonde thought, before she now turned to Mei, and saw that the younger girl was still looking for all the others, smiling to her sister, while she let her gaze drop slightly, her eyes now widening a little as she looked nervously to Mei's hand, and an idea began to form inside her mind.
Mei scanned the whole place for a familiar face of one of their friends, but seeing none of them so far, she sighed a little wondering just where the others all were and hoping to find them all soon enough, before she then widened her eyes slightly as she felt her hand being softly grasped now.
Looking to her sister Mei now gave Yuzu a wondering expression, gesturing to their enclosed hands, and was obviously confused as to why Yuzu had just grabbed her like that.
"Why did you just grab my hand Yuzu?" The younger girl asked not trying to get out of Yuzu's tight grasp, but also not letting her own hand hold onto the blonde's just yet as she looked to her girlfriend's expression and saw that she was blushing slightly now.
"S-sorry Mei, I-I just thought it would be better if we held hands since there are a lot of people here, after all we don't want to get separated right?" Yuzu asked nervously now as she kept a hold of Mei's hand, wondering if she wouldn't mind this, or would just pull her hand away instead.
Mei just stared blankly back to Yuzu as she now allowed for her hand to hold onto Yuzu's, causing the blonde to seem a little surprised in return, "I don't mind you holding my hand Yuzu, but give me more of a warning when you do it," the younger girl stated as she guessed that Yuzu more or less just wanted to hold her hand more than anything else right now, and used 'not wanting to get separated' as just an excuse to do so.
"Right, sorry,"
Yuzu nodded with a nervous smile again, knowing that Mei had easily seen through her excuse, but was just happy that she didn't pull her hand away, thinking that the fact that so many people were here was a good opportunity to hold her girlfriend's hand, and now kinda feeling foolish that she didn't think that Mei would catch onto just what her true intentions were so quickly.
The two then standing in a bit of an awkward silence, as they looked to each other, Yuzu with a nervous smile and Mei with a simple blank stare, both of them deciding to keep looking for the others, but within a few more moments they didn't have to search for much longer it seemed as they now both heard a familiar voice calling out to them loudly.
"YUZU-CHAN! MEI-SAN!"
Both of them looked to where they heard the voice come from, but upon turning didn't see the person that the voice belonged to, wondering where that person was calling from and looking all around, until they now saw Matsuri emerge out of the crowds of people and stood smiling to the two of them greeting them happily, while Yuzu and Mei just looked back to the younger girl a little relieved to see her.
"So here you two are, we were looking for you?" Matsuri stated as she waved to the two and now came walking over to them both.
"Hey Matsuri good to see you, but where are the others?" Yuzu asked as she smiled back to Matsuri, greeting her and then looking around for their other friends, expecting Matsuri to be with them, but it seemed like the middle schooler was actually alone right now.
"Oh don't worry they'll be here in a minute, I kinda ran off ahead when I saw you two in the distance," Matsuri explained, smiling nervously to the two now, before she looked to Mei and Yuzu, her eyes widening as she saw that they were holding hands right now, smiling a moment later as she was about to comment, but was cut off before she could start talking by one of the others now calling out her name and running over to her.
"Matsuri, don't just go running off like that, you're going to get us all lost if you go disappearing amongst this sea of people so suddenly," Harumin now scolded the younger girl as she came pushing past people and walked up to Matsuri, glaring to her slightly, while all the others now came following after the brown haired girl.
"Aww were you worried that I'd get separated from you Taniguchi-san?" Matsuri teased now as she turned to Harumin and smirked to her, which just caused Harumin to glare to her again.
"Of course not, while I wouldn't mind losing you here, it was the others that I was worried about getting separated from," Harumin stated as she stood with her arms folded now, glancing away from the younger girl for a moment, while Matsuri just nodded with a wide smirk in return.
"If that's true, then why did you come looking for me?"
Matsuri asked with a raised eyebrow, just getting silence and another glare from the elder girl now as she knew she was just making her more annoyed the longer that she kept teasing her for, simply brushing off all her glares and enjoying the reactions she was currently getting from her.
Harumin and Matsuri going into an argument now while all the others came walking over to greet Yuzu and Mei, "You're yukata is so cute Yuzu-chan," Hotaru stated as she and Yuma now smiled to Yuzu and Mei happily. Yuzu smiling nervously at Harumin and Matsuri arguing, before she turned to Hotaru and Yuma with a returned smile now.
"So is yours Hotaru,"
Yuzu replied as she greeted Himeko and Nene as well as Hotaru and Yuma now, each one of them happy to see one another again, and excited to spend tonight with all of them together. Hotaru now talking to Mei happily as she smiled to her, while Mei just looked back to the other girl with a blank stare, nodding to her and replying back to her in a causal tone that sounded a little uninterested.
"Have you all been waiting long?"
Yuzu now asked Yuma as she smiled to Mei and Hotaru talking for a moment, before looking back to Yuma again. However feeling glaring eyes on her Yuzu now looked to Himeko as she seemed to be giving her a very off putting stare right now, and causing a cold chill to run down her spine as she wondered why the Vice President was giving her such a deathly look.
"No not at all, all that matters is you're both here now right?" Matsuri stated as she now chimed in, having stopped arguing with Harumin for a moment, as Harumin just stood glaring to the younger girl still, seeming like she had more to say to her but was holding it back for now.
Yuzu just nodding in reply to Matsuri with a smile, as all the others looked to the middle schooler now, "Shall we get this night started then?" she asked with a smile to everyone else, all of them nodding and cheering in unison a moment later, while Matsuri nodded to them all in return.
Nene now turning and leading the way as she turned and started to head into the direction of the stalls, Harumin just sighing as she slowly followed after Nene, Himeko giving Yuzu another death glare before she too turned and walked away now, while Yuzu stood wondering if she had made Himeko angry or something, feeling nervous now.
"You sure are being daring Yuzu-chan, holding onto Mei-san's hand like that," Matsuri now stated as she smirked to Yuzu and gestured to the blonde's hand that was still tightly grasping onto Mei's, Yuzu only now realizing that she had been keeping hold of Mei's hand all this time.
And upon realizing this she immediately released Mei's hand now, backing away from her girlfriend slightly and blushing a little, while Mei just looked back to her with a blank stare, shrugging her shoulders a moment later and not seeming to care much, before she just started to follow all the others now.
'I kept hold of Mei's hand through all that…was that why Momokino-san was giving me such a scary look?' Yuzu questioned as she looked to Matsuri now, a worried expression on her face, while Matsuri just smiled and now rested a comforting hand on the elder girl's shoulder.
"Relax Yuzu-chan I don't think the others noticed all that much,"
The younger girl stated with a reassuring smile to the blonde, while Yuzu just looked back to her seeming upset still, and sighed deeply as she guessed the only one that seemed to have noticed was Himeko, hoping that Matsuri was right about Nene and Harumin not seeing though.
"Come on let's go catch up with everyone else," Matsuri now stated as she encouraged Yuzu to cheer up and go and join the others, Yuzu just nodding as she followed slowly behind the younger girl, and only hoped that things would get better for her from here tonight.
….
The girls were now all getting into the spirit of the summer festival, eating candy apples and other treats, buying little knick-knacks from the different stalls, playing a few of the games that were around and generally just all having a fun time together. Luckily none of them getting separated from each other as they all stayed close and made sure that no one went off by themselves at all.
Yuzu was now crouched at one of the stalls, as her and Harumin were trying out the 'duck catching game' where they had to get at least three of the plastic, yellow toy ducks that were constantly bobbin up and down in the small barrel of water, using only the fishing hooks that they had in their hands.
Both of the girls concentrating very hard it seemed, while Nene sat close to them both, and wondered who was going to get a duck first. Yuzu narrowing her eyes as she was focusing on one duck that was all by itself, thinking that it would be easier to get, but now finding out that it was actually harder than she had first thought it was going to be.
The duck kept moving out of the way of her hook, and Yuzu getting a little impatient now started to be slightly more forceful with the way she was trying to catch the duck, trying her best to get that one duck, and her method working out quite well for her it seemed as soon enough her hook was able to latch around the toy duck's neck, and when she saw that she had grabbed onto it, she instantly yanked the fishing line back.
"I caught one!" the blonde cheered happily as she now jumped up and showed off her catch, causing Nene and Harumin to look to her in response.
"Wow nice one Yuzucchi!" Harumin smiled to the blonde as she took her attention off trying to catch her own duck to congratulate Yuzu on her catch.
"Only two more to go now," Nene stated with a bright smile, causing Yuzu to then look slightly taken aback now, before she just sighed deeply and slumped back down on to the ground.
"That's right I have to get at least three, before I can get a prize," Yuzu reminded herself as she now realized that catching one duck was only a part of the victory still having to catch two more, although she had already spent so much time just trying to catch one.
"Don't worry Yuzucchi, I'm sure the other two will be easier to catch now," Harumin tried to reassure her friend, while Nene just nodded quickly, smiling also and feeling a little nervous that she was the one that had reminded Yuzu that she hadn't won just yet.
"Yeah I guess so,"
Yuzu shrugged now as she glared to the little plastic ducks bobbing around in the water, feeling like they were mocking her right now. While Harumin went back to trying to catch her own duck, Yuzu now wondering if her girlfriend was enjoying herself as well, turning and looking to where Mei and Himeko stood at the shooting game stall that was just across from her.
"This game is tough, I haven't hit a single one yet," Himeko sighed as she looked to the cans that she was supposed to shoot down, having been able to not hit any down yet. Looking to Mei to see if she had better luck with it.
"Me either,"
Mei simply just stated as she aimed at one of the cans, and watched as the fake bullet whizzed past and bounced off the back of the stall instead. Mei standing back as she wondered just how this game worked, knowing that once you hit down more than five cans you would get a prize, but since you only got a few tries Mei didn't see how she was going to be able to do it, thinking of just deciding to give up and go do something else instead now that might just be easier for her.
However Matsuri then came walking over with a smirk on her face, causing Mei to just look to her with a blank stare as her attention was caught by the younger girl now, "You two give up too easily, let me show you how it's done," Matsuri stated as she now came and payed the man at the stall, taking the plastic refile from Mei, and holding the gun in two hands as she held it firmly and checked to see that it was loaded enough before closing one eye and aiming at one of the cans,
"There's actually a strategy to it, you gotta line up the shot so that you're actually aiming for the space behind the can instead of the can itself, and then bang!" Matsuri explained as she pulled the trigger and a bullet came flying out, hitting one of the cans and knocking it down almost effortlessly now.
"And once you've learnt that, you can then try your hand at harder tricks," Matsuri stated as she now aimed in-between two cans that were close together and pulled the trigger again, the bullet bouncing off one can and hitting the other, knocking down both down in the process.
Himeko seeming quite interested as she wondered how the younger girl was able to do so well, while Mei just watched with a blank expression, not seeming to be bothered by the fact that Matsuri was clearly better at this game then her, but was just more or less watching to see how many more cans Matsuri could knock down before she would eventually miss one.
Yuzu sighing slightly now as she continued to watch Mei listen to Matsuri's teachings, and thinking that she shouldn't have been so worried about tonight after all, Harumin hearing the blonde sigh and looking to her with a wondering gaze now.
"Something wrong Yuzucchi?" she asked catching the blonde's attention, Yuzu now turning back to her and shaking her head in response.
"No, I was just thinking..." Yuzu paused now as she looked down to her hands, and stroked the small plastic duck that she had caught, "I was feeling a little worried about bringing Mei here earlier, since this isn't really the kind of thing she likes, but now she actually look like she's enjoying herself while being here with everyone else," the blonde now smiled as she glanced back to her girlfriend again, and felt like maybe it was a good idea to bring Mei along to this tonight after all.
Harumin just smiling to Yuzu, before she too looked to Mei and agreed that the President did seem to actually be letting go a little, and having fun just like all the rest of them were right now. All the girls then getting distracted from what they were doing as they heard their names being called out.
All of them now looking to where they had heard the voice come from, and smiled slightly when they now saw Hotaru and Yuma quickly walking upto them all, knowing that they had wandered off together a little while ago, and now happy to see them coming back together, not one of them having gotten lost or anything.
"You two are finally back then?" Matsuri asked as she smiled to Yuma and Hotaru, knowing that they had gone off to buy some more small items from a few of the stalls, but also guessing that they were also probably off doing something else while they were away from them all.
"Aww that's cute Hotaru-chan, did you buy that?" Harumin now asked as she pointed to the little, fuzzy fox brooch that was now pinned onto Hotaru's yukata, all the others now looking to the piece of jewellery as well as they hadn't noticed it at first.
"Yuma-chan brought it for me," Hotaru stated with a smile as she now reached a hand up and stroked the small brooch lightly, glancing to Yuma, while the blonde just blushed a little and felt nervous, before she quickly thought of something to change the subject.
"Hey aren't the fireworks going to be starting soon?" Yuma now asked with a nervous smile, turning away from Hotaru as the dark haired girl just smiled back up to her innocently.
"Oh yeah that's right, guess we'll have to quit trying at this game, Yuzucchi," Harumin stated as she now looked back to all the toy ducks bobbing around in the barrel, and just decided to give up since it was obvious that she wasn't going get any of them, having been trying for quite a while now.
"Yeah, might as well, since I don't really see me being able to get any more after catching only one after all that anyway," Yuzu agreed looking to the toy duck in her hand and just slowly dropped it back into the barrel of water, not seeing the point of continuing on if she wasn't going to get anymore catches, besides she also was looking forward to watching the fireworks with all the others.
Everyone now deciding to start making their way over to where the fireworks were going to be set off from deciding that it would be better to find a good spot now, rather than having to really search for one later considering the fact that there most probably wouldn't be a lot left by then.
Matsuri now walking over to Yuzu and getting her attention, Yuzu turning and looking back to the younger girl with a smile, wondering what she wanted.
"Hey Yuzu-chan, are you going to kiss Mei-san when the fireworks go off?" Matsuri asked in a whispered tone so that the others wouldn't hear her, smiling as she walked beside Yuzu.
"What? I couldn't do that so suddenly," Yuzu stated blushing slightly as she kept her voice down, but it was obvious that the younger girl had just caught her off guard with that sudden question.
"But isn't it the perfect excuse to kiss her?"
"The perfect excuse?' What do you mean by that?" Yuzu looked confused now as she didn't really get what Matsuri was going on about, but guessing that it was just another one of her little tricks, which she calls, 'Helping to further her and Mei's relationship'.
"Just try it out,"
Matsuri replied as she now winked to Yuzu, and wished her 'Good luck', before she then waved to the blonde and left to go and catch up with Harumin and Nene, while Yuzu still didn't know what the younger girl had exactly meant by what she had said, now turning her head and looking back to Mei and Himeko who were walking behind her talking to each other, blushing slightly when she thought about what Matsuri had suggested to her, shaking those thoughts out of her head, as she just looked back to the direction she was walking in currently.
The whole group soon finding a place that they would be able to see the fireworks relatively well from, all of them now ready to watch the lightshow, waiting for the fireworks to start being set off. Well all expect one of them as Yuzu now nervously stood back from the rest of the group, nervously looking to Mei while thinking about what Matsuri had said to her just a moment ago.
'Matsuri said it would be the perfect excuse to kiss Mei…but would Mei really be okay with that? I mean I guess I could try it out, but it would probably be better not to do it in front of all the others like this,' Yuzu thought a she looked to her girlfriend and sighed a little, building up all her courage as she cleared her throat and now walked over to Mei.
"Mei…"
Yuzu paused as she was able to catch the younger girl's attention, Mei turning around as she looked to the blonde and wondered what she wanted, just looking to the elder girl with a questioning expression and waiting for her to continue since it definitely seemed like she wanted to.
"Can you come with me for a moment please?" Yuzu asked her cheeks stained with a slight blush as she held her hand out for Mei to take, nervously looking to her, and wondering if the younger girl would agree to come with her or not.
"What for?" Mei asked as she now just looked to Yuzu with a blank stare, wondering where this was all coming from.
"I just…want to show you something," Yuzu stated as she stood glancing away from her girlfriend for a moment as she really hoped that Mei would agree to come with her, before she now looked back to Mei with a pleading expression.
Mei just sighing as she lay her hand on top of Yuzu's, "This won't take long right?" she asked guessing that she could go along with Yuzu as long as whatever she wanted to show her wouldn't take all that long.
"Of course not, Mei," Yuzu simply answered as she now smiled nervously to Mei and held onto her hand tightly, tugging on it a little and leading the younger girl away from the others a moment later.
Matsuri looking back as she noticed Yuzu and Mei talking, watching as the two girls soon started to walk away from them all, smiling as she watched the couple leave and sighed a little now, "Well looks like Yuzu-chan took my advice after all," she thought out loud, causing Harumin to now turn round and look to her.
"Did you just say something Matsuri?" the brown haired girl asked, seeing the slight smile on Matsuri's lips and now wondering if she was planning something.
Matsuri now looking back to Harumin as she smiled innocently and shook her head, "No, I didn't say anything maybe you're hearing things Taniguchi-san," she simply stated, gaining a glare from the elder girl now, as Harumin was going to say something back to her, but got cut off by the younger girl before she could get any words out.
"Look it's starting!"
Matsuri stated as she pointed to the sky as all the others looked and now saw that the firework show had started, watching as many beautiful and bright colours were lighting up the night sky, loud bangs being heard as all of the girls happily watched the fireworks fill up the stary sky above them.
"It's so pretty,"
Yuma stated as she gazed up at the sky that was now being filled with bright colours and lovely looking patterns, smiling happily, while Hotaru looked upto her seeming to be more interested in her girlfriend's beauty rather than the fireworks right now.
"Yuma-chan,"
Hotaru now called to Yuma, catching her attention as the blonde just looked down to her in response, before she froze and noticed that the dark haired girl was now leaning into her slightly. Gazing into Hotaru's bright blue eyes and seeing the fireworks reflecting off of them, Yuma let herself lean in a little, her heart beating wildly inside her chest now, as the small gap between soon closed.
Both of them now closing their eyes as they grabbed each other's hands and held on tightly to one another, kissing lightly, and letting their moment only last for a few minutes, before their lips parted and they gazed into the other's eyes deeply.
Yuma calling herself lucky that it didn't seem like the others had noticed anything since they were obviously too engrossed by the fireworks at the moment. Her and Hotaru interlocking their fingers now, as they just stood smiling to each other for a moment, before looking back upto the sky and continue to watch the fireworks with all the others.
…...
Meanwhile Yuzu had now led Mei up on top of a nearby hill that was just above where the festival was being held, the two being a little ways away from everyone else, as the blonde nervously let go off Mei's hand and walked upto the railing that was at the edge of the hill, looking up to the sky and noticing that the fireworks had already started.
"It's a nice view up here isn't it Mei?"
Yuzu asked as she glanced back to Mei and smiled to her nervously now, knowing that Matsuri had said to kiss Mei when the fireworks had started, but just kissing her so suddenly didn't sound like it would be all that good of an idea, and would probably just cause the younger girl to get mad at her for surprising her like that.
"Is that what you wanted to show me?"
Mei asked as she wondered just why Yuzu had brought her here, standing near to the railing as well, and looking to the blonde with a slightly questioning expression, while Yuzu just nervously smiled back to her in return.
"Umm…no, not exactly,"
Yuzu shook her head slowly, as she now felt like not doing this anymore, but then mentally slapping herself as she built up all of her courage, deciding that if she was really going to do this, she might as well do it now since she didn't want Mei becoming uninterested and wanting to go back down the hill to the others.
Now swallowing slowly Yuzu turned round fully to Mei and moved closer to her, resting a hand on the younger girl's cheek, causing Mei to now look a little confused, wondering what the elder girl was going to do, as she just raised her eyebrow to her girlfriend.
"This is what I wanted to show you Mei," the blonde said as she now closed her eyes and pressed her lips to Mei's, unsure if the younger girl would push her away or something, but instead Mei just seemed surprised her eyes going wide as she was caught off guard and didn't know how to react.
However now sighing into the kiss and she let herself melt a little, now getting why Yuzu had suddenly pulled her away from the others, and actually kinda being thankful that the blonde chose to do something like this while they were alone, rather than being around other people.
The kiss not lasting for all that long as their lips soon parted, Yuzu looking to Mei nervously as she wondered how the younger girl would react to that sudden kiss, her emerald eyes widening when she saw a slight blush now starting to cover Mei's cheeks and ears.
"Was that okay Mei?" Yuzu asked as she stroked Mei's cheek lightly, while Mei now slightly looked away from the elder girl and nodded, composing herself as she tucked a few locks of hair behind her ear.
"I didn't mind it, I guess" the younger girl simply answered as she tried to hide her blush and calm down her now racing heart, that sudden kiss throwing her a little, wondering if Yuzu was going to do it again or not.
However Yuzu just went a little silent now as she didn't know what to do next, thinking that Mei would have gotten angry and pushed her away by now, but instead it seemed as though she had caught her off guard, 'Mei looks so cute right now…I want to kiss her again,' the blonde thought as she bit her bottom lip slightly and wondered if it would be okay to kiss Mei again, or would that be totally out of line for her at this point?
"Do you want to go back down to the others now?" Yuzu asked, guessing that Mei was feeling a little overwhelmed right now, and wondered if she really should have chosen to do this, since it had definitely caused Mei to go a little quiet on her.
Mei didn't answer for a while, seeming to be thinking about something as she was still composing herself a little, now turning away from Yuzu and speaking in a low voice, "Actually, could we stay up here for a little longer?" she asked glancing to Yuzu out of the corner of her eye now, a slight blush still covering her ears as she waited to hear Yuzu's answer.
"S-sure…but why?" Yuzu questioned not expecting Mei to say something like that, but if the younger girl was asking her if they could stay alone for a bit longer, than she wasn't going to refuse and say no to her.
"This view that you showed me…it actually is quite nice, so I want to look at it for just a little bit longer," Mei explained after a short pause, now looking out to the view and listening to the loud bangs of the fireworks, as she took a deep breath and now rested her hands against Yuzu's chest, waiting to see what Yuzu would do in return.
Yuzu blushed deeply as she gazed to Mei, looking to her beautiful girlfriend watching the way that she was looking out to the view. And sighing a moment later as she caught Mei's attention by wrapping her free arm around the younger girl, stroking her cheek again softly.
"Mei…can I kiss you again?" the blonde asked nervously now. Mei answering a lot quicker this time as she simply slowly nodded her head and looked back to Yuzu with a softened expression.
"Go ahead, I don't mind you kissing me Yuzu,"
The younger girl simply replied as she now linked her arms around Yuzu's neck, causing the elder girl to blush deeper as she slowly leaned in, Mei doing the same as they soon closed the tiny gap between them and shared another loving kiss, while the fireworks continued on above them. This second kiss soon becoming deeper and much more passionate than the previous one as the two of them decided to stay watching from the top of the hill for just a little bit longer.
