I kept forgetting to put the standard disclaimer so… I don't own Tegami Bachi/Letter Bee, whatever you call it.
(Lag's P.O.V)
When I got up I had a huge headache. It took a while for me to remember what happened last night, and when it hit me I groaned. Niche and I stayed up most of the night looking at the fireworks. While walking home, she wanted to know all about fireworks. After reaching home and going inside, I found a passed out Connor on my couch. It took some time to wake him up and convince him this wasn't his house. When he did leave, Niche started to complain about dinner. I finally made her something to eat when I realized how tired I was and wanted, no needed to sleep. After she finished eating, we both went to bed.
I looked at the clock and realized it was late in the afternoon. I guess I'm not going to work today either.
Just then Niche came in. "Are we staying home today, Lag?" Niche asked.
"Yea. There is no point in going now."
"Okay." Niche said, and then just walked out.
I followed her after I sat on my bed for a few minutes staring where she stood in the doorway. I walked into the kitchen to see Niche making breakfast or in this case, Lunch.
"Wow, I'd never thought I'd see the day you made breakfast, er, lunch." I said.
She just made the face she always made which caused me to laugh.
"Here."
I looked down to see her handing me a plate of eggs and bacon. I accepted the plate and went to the dining table with Niche right behind me. We sat down and ate in silence. I didn't know why but she was acting… different. It seemed she was enjoying herself watching the fireworks yesterday. Maybe I was just imagining it.
(Niche's P.O.V)
Later on that day, I was watching TV on the couch when the phone rang. I sat there waiting for Lag to pick it up when I remembered he was out buying more food.
I picked up the phone and said, "Hello."
"Hi Niche! It's Sylvette, can I talk to Lag?" Sylvette asked.
"He's not here."
"Oh."
There was a moment of silence between them when Niche sighed and asked, "You can leave a message."
When Sylvette heard this, she seemed reluctant to tell her.
She finally said, "I was um… wondering… if Lag would like to go out again."
I was shocked. Sylvette wanted to go out with Lag again. I realized I hadn't said anything for a few minutes and Sylvette was waiting for an answer.
"Sure I'll tell him that when he gets back."
"Oh and tell him to call me back if he does."
"Sure." I mumbled the last part but Sylvette heard it.
"Thank you Niche. Bye." Niche hung up without saying goodbye herself.
She was still shocked, and a little sad. Niche still didn't know a lot about dating besides the fact two people who like each other go out and eat. How many dates do they need to go out? She will ask Zazie because she knew Lag would never leave Niche home alone. I also didn't like the fact of staying home alone, and Zazie just ate our food and watched shows on our television.
What if Lag didn't have to leave me alone because he didn't know that Sylvette wanted to go back out with him? I was thinking of some mean things, but I couldn't help it. I didn't want him to go out with Sylvette. I always thought they were just friends. What should I do?
The rest of the day I have been thinking of telling Lag or not. I let out a frustrated sigh just as Lag walked through the front door.
"What's wrong Niche?" Lag asked.
"N-nothing." I quickly replied. Lag just looked at me confused but then just shrugged it off.
"Anything happen while I was gone." Lag just had to ask me right now.
I just looked at the floor still debating whether I should tell him and he goes with Sylvette, or not tell him and he stays here with me.
"Nothing happened today." I looked up with wide eyes. I did not mean to say that but it just came out.
"Ok." Was all Lag said as he walked to the kitchen.
I just walked to my room. I felt like a zombie, staring into space, slowly walking down the hall. If I had some greenish-brown makeup on and had my arms raised, I bet you I could have looked like a zombie. That was my last thought before I closed my door, shutting out the world.
(Lag's P.O.V)
I was making dinner when I noticed Niche wasn't around. She would usually be bothering me and asking if I needed her help. Maybe I was right and there is something wrong.
I'll ask her after dinner.
I called Niche then and she came out of her room. We both sat down and starting eating. Actually I started eating; she was playing with her food which I found odd. I looked up and she seemed to be deep in thought. Her eyebrows were knitted together, she looked like she was glaring at the food, and she had a scowl on her face.
"Is something wrong Niche?" I asked her after watching her for several more minutes.
I assumed she didn't hear me because she stayed the way she was. I just sighed and finished up my dinner. It was evident Niche wasn't going to eat so I took her plate along with mine and started to wash them. I heard Niche walk back to her room, dragging her feet along. I looked behind me at her, and I was positive now, something was wrong with her. I was worried, and even Steak was too by the way he looked at me with pleading eyes.
I sighed again and continued washing the dishes. After I was done, I would go to her room and talk to her.
(Niche's P.O.V)
I was still trying to figure out if I should tell him. It was killing me because I was worried he'd be mad at me either way. One, because I didn't want to tell him for my own selfish reasons, and two, I held off on telling him because of my selfish reasons again. I couldn't think any further because there was a knock at my door.
"Niche, can I come in?" It was Lag.
"Y-yea."
Lag opened the door and walked over to me. He sat down across from me on my bed.
"Niche, I have noticed you didn't seem well. Is something wrong?"
I was scared out of my freaking mind. Right then I would have peed my pants because I still didn't know what to tell him.
"Actually, I have something to say." I tried to stay calm and be brave through it all.
"Today, Sylvette called. She wanted to know if you wanted to go out again. I didn't want to tell you but then I felt bad. After holding off on telling you, I held off more because I was scared you'd be mad at me. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to go, but then I felt guilty for not telling you. I am so sorry I didn't say anything earlier because of my own selfish reasons."
I kept my eyes on the floor the whole time. When I didn't hear a reply, I looked up to see if he was mad. When I saw his eyes, I instantly knew he was pissed.
Lag is angry at Niche, why? You'll find out in chapter five.
I know my chapters are short, but it's my first fanfic and I can't really seem to think of anything to make it longer.
I wonder if Lag will go out with Sylvette again or start to feel bad for Niche and stay with her. Hmmm… I don't know the answer to that. This stuff just comes to me. I can tell you one thing, this is gonna end with Lag and Niche together.
Got a question for the readers about my next or future chapter. Should I have Steak's P.O.V for one? If I do, I would have to think hard on how Steak would see things. Hmmm… that has got me thinking…
Well I would like opinions on that idea. I would also like to know if there is something wrong, like punctuation or grammatical errors. So… I guess R&R…
