AN: Hello readers! Here's Madoka! And this one is long...
Thank you for your reviews!
Disclaimer: See chapter first.
Madoka knew she was being sneaky, hiding in a place like this, waiting for something to happen.
But she did not feel guilty about it. She was actually very excited.
It had been a long time (a week is long enough in her opinion) since she spied on someone.
So here she was, hiding behind the couch in the SPR office, trying to get some juicy gossip material.
She had arrived in Japan that morning, and come straight to the office. Lin had known she was going to visit, but she had asked him not to tell anyone because she wanted to surprise them. It had been 7 months since she had visited them.
She snickered at the memory.
Madoka and Luella had jumped on the plane to Japan as soon as they saw the video of Noll confessing, that Lin had sent them (Martin had tried to talk them out of it, but they hadn't listened). They both had been so excited, the poor air hostess had to continuously keep them in check. They had been laughing, talking loudly, and at some point (after they drank some brandy) even singing.
The air plane staff had looked relieved and happy when they had bid both women goodbye after landing in Japan.
When they had arrived at the office (directly, they did not want to waste time dropping their luggage at the hotel), they had gone in search of Mai. She was in the kitchen (as always, making tea for Noll). And both the women had gone to her (her back had been turned) and glomped her.
Mai had screamed then. And that had brought out both Noll and Lin from their office.
"Mai! What's wrong? Are you hurt?" They could hear Noll asking as he hurried to the kitchen.
The boy then froze in the doorway. The women looked at him with amusement.
Lin, too had stopped behind the boy, had taken one look at both of them, and run (literally) back to his office.
Madoka had to admit, she had never seen Noll go pale that much, that fast. He had just stood there, eyes wide, mouth hanging slightly open. Like he had seen a ghost he did not want to face (Oh! The irony!).
Mai had turned around then.
"Oh Madoka! And Mrs. Davis! You both scared me!" She said, putting a hand on her heart.
That made both women turn back to her, and they again hugged her.
"Mai! Congratulations!" They both said.
Mai had looked confused.
"You both finally got together."
"My son finally made a move!"
Mai looked at them, nervous.
"And he confessed in such a romantic way too! I mean, I am that boy's mentor and all, but I never knew he was capable of such a thing! I am soooooo proud!"
"And to think we have a video of that wonderful moment! I can't wait to show it to my grandkids!"
Mai had then frozen, wide eyed.
The word 'video' seemed to have brought Noll out of his shock. He had glared at them.
"Video? There is a video?"
Both women had just looked at him as if he was stating the obvious.
"Lin." That was all Noll had said before he had stormed to the older man's office.
Madoka had then sighed. She would have to save Lin now.
Then they both had looked at the blushing Mai (Madoka had never seen anyone go that red).
And they had glomped her yet again.
Madoka had to hold in her laughter at the memory. She did not want to give away her hiding place. Or the fact that she was hiding.
When she had arrived, the main office had been empty. She could make out distinct typing sounds (obviously from Lin's office) and could hear someone in the kitchen (Mai, and tea). It was obvious that Noll was in too, or else Mai wouldn't be in the kitchen.
She looked around again. Yasuhara (her sometimes partner in crime) wasn't there. She knew the boy had started working here. And from many E-mails they had exchanged, she also knew how much he loved working here (mostly because he got to torment the other members of the office). So for him to be away was rare.
Oh well.
The empty main office had given her an idea.
Why not spy on the unsuspecting (seemingly innocent) people of SPR?
She had not been able to get any videos since last time, as Noll had practically ripped off the cameras from their carefully hidden places, and warned Lin not to do it again, or there would be hell to pay.
She knew Lin had stopped then, not because he was afraid of the boy, but because he did not want any more cameras to die (Such a waste of money, he had said).
And Madoka had been peeved.
But now she had an opportunity, to get a live show.
She smirked.
She had then looked around for a hiding place, and found the couch to be perfect. She had slowly walked behind it (with her bag) and sat down. It was the perfect place. She could hear everything, and see everything too if she raised her head a little. But she would be discovered only if someone came around the couch.
So she sat there, waiting...and waiting.
But she got bored real soon.
Why wasn't anyone doing anything entertaining?
She could hear Mai humming in the kitchen and then the whistle of the kettle.
The tea was ready it seems.
Madoka was about to give up (she was such an impatient person, it had only been 10 minutes since she arrived), when she heard Noll call out.
"Mai?"
She raised her head a little so she could see. Noll was standing near Mai's desk. Then, Mai came out of the kitchen, tray in hand.
"Naru? Your tea is ready."
"I can see that. Where is Yasuhara?"
"He hasn't come in yet. He said something about extra classes at the University, yesterday."
"Oh. But I heard the front door open a while ago and assumed it was him."
Madoka waited with bated breath. Oh shit. Curse Noll and his super hearing.
"I didn't hear it. And no one is here."
"Must be my imagination then."
Madoka sighed in relief.
"Hmm. Well here is your tea!"
But Noll took the tray out of her hands, and placed it on her desk.
"Naru?"
"Mai, aren't you forgetting something?"
Noll put his hands around her waist and pulled her to him. Mai blushed, but looked at him in confusion.
"What?"
"You forgot to give me the daily morning kiss today."
Mai's blush deepened.
"And you know how much addicted I am to it. I can't seem to work properly without it, you know." Noll said, looking at her, and pouting.
Madoka wanted to laugh then, but held it in.
"But...I...um...we were getting late and so..."
"Hmm. Then why not give it to me now?"
Mai blushed again (if that was even possible).
Madoka wanted to roll her eyes. Didn't the two of them live together? Shouldn't Mai be used to all this now? But then this is what made Mai the person she was. And Madoka knew Noll wouldn't have her any other way.
"I am waiting Mai." Noll said, and closed his eyes.
Mai looked so red by now, Madoka feared the girl would faint.
But then Mai put her hands around his neck, pulled him down and kissed him.
Noll pulled her even closer (if possible), and deepened the kiss. Mai might have initiated it, but all the control was with Noll.
Madoka knew she should look away. This was their private moment after all.
But when had that stopped her before? Plus, she had already seen their embarrassing videos.
Madoka felt glad now. The boy looked truly happy, content. And all because of the brunette girl.
She smiled. Noll was finally truly living again.
She looked at them again. They had been kissing for a while now. They hadn't even come up for air.
And looking at them so much in love, she got excited again. And couldn't hold it in any longer.
She jumped up from her hiding place.
"Kyaaaa! You both are soooooo cute!" She squealed.
Her voice snapped the couple out of their kissing session, and they turned around fast to look at her.
Noll froze (like last time. Geez, over reaction much?) and Mai flushed a brilliant red.
"Hehehe. Hello! I am back!" Madoka said giggling, enjoying their reactions.
"Welcome back, Madoka" It seems her squealing had brought Lin out of his office.
"Oh Lin! They are so adorable, don't you think?"
Lin looked at the couple once, and hastily retreated back into his office without a comment. It seems Noll was out his shock, and was now glaring daggers at Madoka, and Lin did not want to be at the receiving end of it anytime soon.
"Don't look at me like that Noll. I am your teacher! Where are your manners?"
"Madoka." Was all Noll said, before he too turned around, and stomped to his office, seething all the way.
Madoka just rolled her eyes. Typical Noll. But she believed that this time he was more angry that his kiss with Mai was interrupted, than seeing his teacher visit unannounced (since that happened every time, he was used to it now).
"Welcome back, Madoka. Would you like some tea?" Mai asked her, a small blush still in place.
"Thanks Mai", Madoka hugged her and then sat on the couch, "And I would love some tea. But are you sure you will be able to make it? You still seem a little dazed after that hot make out session."
Mai flushed again, mumbled something and ran to the kitchen.
Madoka giggled. This was interesting.
Boy, Yasuhara was soooo lucky he got to tease them everyday.
Finished! Please read and review!
Next up, Luella!
