Title: Sneaking Out For You

Nozomi and Eli were just finished in doing student council work and Eli heard the piano playing nd she thought 'Maki is still here?'

"Ericchi, you must be thinking why Maki is still here." Nozomi said as she grabbed her bag and Eli just chuckled on how right she was.

"Yeah. You can head home, Nozomi. I have to make sure the school doesn't have anymore students this late."

Nozomi smirked and teased Eli, "Hmm? Is that really the reason, Ericchi? Or do you just want to talk to the princess?"

Eli blushed and became flustered and scoffed, "Mou! Nozomi, don't make jokes like that! She's a f-first year!"

"Does that really matter, Ericchi? Oh well, I better get going. See you tomorrow." Nozomi said as she left Eli in the student council room.

"Nozomi, what are up to this time?" Eli sighed to herself as she went to the music room but as she was going there the tune playing sounded sad.

'Is it me or is Maki playing so sadly?' Eli thought and as she went in the music room she saw Maki playing her piano but with tears in her eyes.

"M-Maki?" Eli called out and Maki widened her eyes and wiped her tear immediately.

"E-Eli? What are you doing here?" Maki asked with her usual cold tone but was flustered.

Eli walked in and crossed her arms and said, "I should be the one asking you that."

Maki became silent and Eli knew something was wrong and asked, "Is there something bothering you?"

"N-No. This is nothing, Eli." Maki lied as she didn't make eye contact with Eli.

Eli walked to her and sat beside her and asked, "Why are you exactly here, Maki?"

Maki just looked down and Eli sighed "You're really like Nozomi sometimes."

Maki looked at Eli and knew she was worrying and lied, "I...ran home."

Eli was shocked since what could possibly make the redhead run from her home but she didn't wanna ask so she just hugged her.

Maki jumped at the feeling and said with a flustered tone, "E-Eli, this is embarassing."

Eli chuckled and unwrapped herself from Maki and said, "You were crying so...that's the only thing I could do."

Maki blushed and just huffed at her and Eli thought it was adorable.

"Shall we head home? Maybe we can sort this out with your parents. I'll walk with you."

Maki became even more embarrassed and didn't have a choice. She missed her family right now more than anything.

Maki nodded in response of Eli's offer and held her hand.

"Maki..."

"D-Don't think of this as s-something." Maki said with a flustered tone as she hid her blushing face.

Eli giggled and walked with Maki to her home and on the way Maki didn't let go of Eli's hand.

"Maki, why did you run away?"

Maki didn't want to tell her the truth because Eli might think she's crazy but she had to...

"I didn't run away..." Maki muttered and Eli became even more curious on why Maki was still at school.

"So, why were you still at school?" Eli asked as she stopped walking to talk to Maki even more.

"I-It's none of your business." Maki scoffed as she mentally slapped herself in the face for not being able to be forward with her feelings.

Maki felt a tight grip on both of her arms and looked directly at Eli who was serious.

"Tell me now, Maki. You can't bottle up feelings, okay?" Eli said and Maki noticed that Eli was almost going to cry.

"Fine! I went to school because I wanted to see you!" Maki said as she freed herself from Eli's grip.

Eli widened her eyes and blushed a little and asked in shock, "M-Me?!"

Maki rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Who else will I sneak out for?"

"Nozomi?" Eli answered Maki and Maki just glared at her.

"Did you need something from me? Why did you lie about running away?" Eli had so many questions and Maki had enough on how dense the blonde was so she said it, she never thought it was today but she said it.

"I like you! You're so dense, you know." Maki said and it left Eli speechless. Was this a dream? Was this actually happening? Eli had a tiny crush on the redhead but she didn't actually know that the redhead had feelings for her too.

"Speak up, Eli." Maki said as she glared at the third year who didn't know what to do in this situation.

"I-I like you too..." Eli mumbled and Maki didn't hear it so she asked, "What did you say?"

Eli smiled at her and said, "I like you too."

Maki hid her blushing face and said with a flustered tone, "D-Don't say embarrassing things l-like that."

Eli giggled and continued walking Maki home and when they got there Maki just stared at the ground and Eli asked, "Did you forget your keys?"

Maki shook her head and kissed Eli on the cheeks and immediately went in her home.

Eli smiled and walked home when suddenly,

"Ericchi, you're such a liar."

Eli turned around and saw Nozomi leaning against the wall.

"You knew about this,didn't you Nozomi?" Eli said and Nozomi nodded and said with a pout, "does that mean we won't get to eat parfaits anymore?"

"We will. But with Maki this time." Eli said with a wink and Nozomi sighed and smiled at her and walked home together.
