Chapter Fourteen: Yozora…I love you

"Where is she?"

Yozora tapped her foot due to impatience. Today is the day of their supposed "date" and she was waiting for the girl that was plaguing her mind recently. Since this was a date, the short haired girl treated as one. Yozora wore a black shirt with blue jeans while wearing a brown jacket. She checked her watch again. It was ten minutes after eleven and the train was due to arrive any moment now. If meat was late and they miss the train, this whole idea was nothing more than a waste of time.

She was about to lose hope on the blonde when she heard footsteps running toward her. She turned to see to what it looked like Sena. Yozora couldn't believe what the blonde was wearing. Sena wore a sleeveless white dress and when she looked up to the other girl, Yozora saw how clear her eyes were. The whole dress brought out the best of what Sena had to offer.

"Sorry…I was running late. You were you waiting for me?" The blonde panted.

The short haired girl snapped out of her trance. "Yes I was waiting for you. I told you not to be late didn't I?" Yozora scolded the girl.

"Sorry. I had to talk my papa into letting me go but I'm here now aren't I?"

The short haired girl looked away. "Yeah I guess you are, look the train is going to arrive soon."

As on cue the train arrived at its destination. People walked out and the two girls went inside and sat next to each other. The doors closed and the train took off. During the train ride Yozora couldn't help but peek at Sena every couple of minutes. She couldn't help but think how good she looked wearing that dress. Her eyes wandered from the blondes deep and beautiful clear blue eyes and trailed all the way down to her…

"No, no what am I thinking? Matter of fact, why was I going look at her chest? I hate those things on her chest."

"Is everything all right?"

Yozora snapped out of her self-discussion and looked at the blonde. "Nothing. Just thinking about something."

The ride went on and both girls still didn't talk to each other for a while. The silence was killing them both. Tired of the silence, Sena decided to start the conversation. "So…what are we doing on this date?"

Yozora jumped at the question. She was so busy thinking about the date, she didn't even think up a plan on how it was supposed to go. The short haired girl tried to think up of way to make an excuse but couldn't find one. "I…uh…we…uh…"

"You didn't thought about it did you?"

Like a deer in the headlights. Yozora sighed. "All right. Fine yes, I didn't think up a way to spend the date OK?"

"You're supposed to plan these things in advance. How can you forget something as basic as that?"

"Well sorry! This is my second date so of course I'm going make mistakes." Yozora realized what she said and looked away. She can't believe she just said to the only person who can make fun of her with something like that. The short haired girl awaited the blonde's snappy comeback.

"Well if it's your second then I guess I'll let this one slide."

Yozora turned to face Sena again. She had a chance to tease her about this being her first date and she just reassured her. She thought that this Sena was a fake or something must've hypnotized her to make her this way. "All right. We'll have to make due on what we can do before the day is over. Got it?"

Sena smiled. "Got it."

The short haired girl blushed and looked away again. She hoped this train ride can end soon or else the beating in chest will burst out of her.

B

After an hour riding on the train, the train stopped at the station in another part of the city. The two girls exited the train and walked out the station. As soon as they were outside the station, Sena grabbed Yozora's hand and intertwined their fingers. "W-What are you doing meat?" the short haired girl asked in embarrassment.

The blonde blushed "I heard that people hold hands whenever they go out. If you don't like it then…"

"No, no that's fine. We have to make this a date as close as possible so it's all right." Yozora assured as she blushed.

They walked together hand in hand as they try to find what do on their date. While walking, Yozora could feel her heart beating faster. She was still taking in the feeling that she was holding hands with Sena. She didn't hate the feeling in fact she liked it though she didn't want to admit it. The two girls walked for a while until Yozora saw a movie theatre. She let go of the blondes hand and ran to it to check what was playing or at least what was playing nearing their time. Sena followed behind and went to see what was up with her love interest.

"Hey where were you going?"

"Here meat." Yozora pointed at the movie theater.

"But we don't even know what movie is going to show."

"Then we check the times. Seriously meat, use your empty space called a brain."

Sena let the insult slide and walked into the theater with Yozora. They checked what movie was close to their time and there was only one movie within their time frame. It's ironic that the movie that fits their time frame was a romance movie. Both girls had the exact same thought.

"You got to be kidding me?"

The short haired girl reluctantly paid for the tickets and for one medium popcorn as well as one drink. Yozora headed back to the blonde with a disgruntled look on her face. "Why do I have to pay again?"

Sena sighed at the question. "Because it's the job of the asker to pay on a date. That and I blew all of my money on the karaoke bar and why did you get one of each?"

"Because meat, not everyone has fat stacks of cash like you do. If we want this date to continue all day, I have to spend as little as possible so enjoy what you have now."

Sena didn't say anything else and walked alongside with her love interest. It was just then when they arrived at the theatre the blonde had a sudden thought. Yozora only bought one drink and comes with one straw. She put two and two together and blushed at the result. If she and Yozora drink from the same straw then it would be considered an indirect kiss. Yozora herself realized this as well and cursed herself for only buying one coke. They found their seats and sat down as they waited for the movie to start. After going through a few previews, the movie finally started. The story was something basic in a romance movie. Two people were deeply in love with each other and were married. However the husband had to leave for the army while his wife found out she was pregnant. They were separated by miles apart but still kept in contact with each by means of communication but the most important type was they were still connected by their hearts. The husband went through many difficult missions and survived life or death situations. The only thing that was driving him was to see his loved one and their child.

A year went by and the mother gave birth to a healthy daughter. The husband had even more of reason to fight now. Not for his wife but also his new daughter. Both girls paid close attention to the movie. Yozora was impressed that the husband was willing to lose life and limb to see his wife at the end of the day while Sena wondered if Yozora would do the same thing for her. It got to the point where both of them were enjoying the movie but like all good things, they must come to an end. During on one of the missions, the husband and his group were led into a trap by the enemy. They worked together to get out of it but one of them must stay behind while the others escape with information that could end the battle for good.

The husband decided to stay back. He knew the choice he made and knew he would see his wife or his daughter grow up. The rest of the troops saluted him and retreated with the information. The husband made one last battle cry toward the enemy. A month after that fateful day, a funeral was held for him. The widowed wife cried for beloved as now the world will never be the same without him again. She picked up her young daughter and left his grave. The credits rolled and everyone was leaving the theater.

Yozora was in deep thought about the movie. So deep she just barely noticed two soft parts pressing on her arm. She turned to see Sena crying into her shoulder while still feeling her breasts on her arm. At first she didn't like it but then started to get used to the feeling which made her blush. "Are they always this soft?"

Sena was crying for a different reason. She knew what it was like not having the person you love around anymore. She had all too well understanding in that situation and she wouldn't want to imagine a world without Yozora again. After a few minutes, the blonde calmed down and both girls left the theatre hand in hand.

They said nothing while walking to wherever they can do next on their date. Yozora had to figure something out to cheer up the girl. She looked off to the side to see an arcade and thought that this might cheer her up. "Hey meat, there's an arcade over there. Want to check it out?"

Just hearing the word arcade made the blonde cheer up already. She ran to the place with Yozora behind her. Sena saw the many different types of games she could play. Yozora sighed again as she could feel her money slip away again when she gave some to Sena. The idol girl played a majority of the games and had a fun time. Yozora saw how happy she was but could make it a little better. One thing she learned on what to do on a date was to win something and give it to your other. She looked at the prices of the prized and looked down. Even getting the lowest one would be a difficult task. She took a one last look at Sena and left for her own mission.

After a while, the blonde took a break playing the games and looked around for Yozora but couldn't find her. "Yozora? Where are you?"

"Right behind you."

Sena turned around to see Yozora who had a blush on her face and had something behind her back. The short haired girl walked up to her and presented on what she hid behind her back. The blonde gasped at what she saw. Yozora showed a bear with a light blue color with a heart shaped stomach. The short haired girl blushed even more at what she was doing. Sena took the bear and hugged it. "Yozora this is so adorable. Thanks."

"Yeah well don't lose it. This is the only time I'm giving you something."

The blonde snuggled with her new bear. "Understood but where did you get it?"

"I won it by playing some of the games here. Believe it or not it was pain to get just that." She pointed to the bear.

"But why would you give me something like this?"

"B-Because I had to since this is a date after all." She stammered as her blush grew deeper.

Sena giggled. She didn't realize it until now that Yozora looked cute when she's all flustered like this. She was almost temped to give her a kiss but she decided against it. Sena didn't want anything to ruin the date so far. It was then this tender moment was interrupted by a growling stomach. Sena giggled and Yozora sighed. "Do you have any money left for something to eat?"

"Yeah. The wonders of spending little money as possible."

The blonde smiled and held Yozora's hand again. The two girls walked out of the arcade while the short haired girl felt her heart thump harder in her chest. The searched around for a place to eat. It took a while until Yozora spotted a café not too far off. The two girls walked up when another girl appeared before them holding some papers.

"Hello and welcome to our café. For today only, we're holding a special discount for couples only." She took a closer look. "You two are a couple right?"

Both girls blushed at the word couple. "Uh yeah we are…" Yozora embarrassedly explained.

"Aw too bad. Your girlfriend is quite a catch." The girl complimented while giving Sena wink.

The idol blushed at what the girl said while Yozora glared at her. The short haired girl took the paper the girl was holding and went inside the café with Sena following suit. The café had a home like atmosphere to it. The two girls found a spot to sit in. After looking at the menus, a waitress came along and took their orders. The waitress nodded and took their menus. All that was left was to wait for the food. While waiting, Yozora thought it would be good time to talk about the movie. "So meat, what are your thoughts on the movie?"

Sena just looked down. "I thought it was pretty good up until the point the man died."

"Yeah I noticed. You were bawling like a baby."

The blonde glared at the other girl other "What you didn't feel anything when he died?"

Yozora felt like she touched a nerve. "I was shocked as well. I thought he was a total badass and didn't think he could die."

Sena looked away. "I guess you're not heartless after all."

"What's that supposed to mean." Yozora stared at the other girl but had one thought that's been on her mind. "Why were you crying like that at the end of the movie?"

Sena thought about whether it would be a good idea to tell her about her experience. It was then she decided to talk about it. She needed to know about it. "Well it was because of the ending. The wife now has to live a life without her husband. Just think about it, your whole could change without that one person who made such a difference in your life. I had something similar happen to me."

Yozora tried to figure out what made Sena sound so mature. "What do you mean something similar happened to you?"

Sena looked into Yozora's eyes. "It was when I was in that small coma. I dreamt up a world where you didn't exist in the first place. You didn't meet Kodaka, didn't make the neighbors club and everyone acted differently. I-It was a terrible experience. That's why I was so happy to see you when I woke up."

Yozora couldn't believe what she heard. She had no idea that Sena held her that dear. Her heart was beating even faster now. "I-I thought you didn't like me in the first place." Sena's eyes widened when she heard those words. Yozora didn't figure out the song she sung to her so why did she ask her out in the first place? The short haired girl saw how troubled the other girl looked. "Hey are you alright?"

Sena composed herself. "Yeah I'm fine." The blonde suddenly remembered the incident earlier. "Hey why were you glaring at that girl outside?"

"What do you mean?" The short haired girl asked feigning the obvious answer.

"What I mean is when she complimented me; you looked like you were ready to kill her or something."

"I-I don't know." She stood up. "I'm going to the bathroom."

Yozora left her seat and Sena alone. While she was in the bathroom, the blonde had her own problems to deal with. "She didn't figure out the song. God I feel so stupid now."

"Well that's what you get for being fancy instead going the traditional route."

Sena groaned. "Great and here I thought I would have one day without you." The blonde finally figured out a way to talk to her other self mentally instead of talking out loud and making her looked like some crazy girl.

"Well if the date was going well, you would've had that but no."

"I was so excited about this date and thought she found out my feelings for her but she didn't so what was the point of this?"

"Maybe she had a point to prove."

"What point?"

"I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Maybe the point of this date was to prove she may not be in love with you at all."

This hit Sena like a speeding car hit a steel wall. She may have to face the fact that Yozora isn't in love with her at all. "Hold on what about the bear she gave me?"

"That is a tough one to explain but the situation remains unchanged. You may have to face the one fear you held all your life."

Meanwhile in the bathroom, Yozora splashed some water onto her face. She was lucky that no one else was in here. The violet eyed girl looked at herself in the mirror and slammed her hand on it. "This isn't right. This isn't supposed to happen but it did. I'm in love with her but why? I don't understand it." Yozora decided to deal with this problem another day and left the bathroom. By the time she got back the food was already there. The two girls didn't say anything to each other while they ate the food.

By the time Yozora paid for the food and the both girls left the café, the sun had already started to go down. Sena didn't hold the other girl's hand this time as they both walked back to the train station. She had hoped this date would go well but now she was having doubts if her love interest had any interest in her at all. Yozora was also equally worried. The blonde was so excited to go on this date but when she came back from the bathroom, she couldn't even look at her in the eye and now she didn't attempt to hold her hand. The dark haired girl was beginning to miss that warm gentle feeling of holding hands with the blonde. They arrived at the station and now were waiting for the next train to take them home.

Yozora needed to break the ice with her newfound love. "So…how did enjoy the date?"

Sena tuned to face her and gave a fake smile to hide her pain within. "It was fun. I had a good time."

Sena was a lot of things but a good liar was not one of them. Yozora instantly saw through that smile. She may be smiling on the outside but she could tell that Sena was hurting on the inside. She wondered what happened to her while she was in the bathroom. The train arrived and the two girls boarded. There was barely anyone in the car. The train departed and took them home. During the ride, Sena fell asleep on Yozora's shoulder while still holding the bear in her other arm. The short haired girl figured that she was tired from the date's activities. She held the sleeping blondes hand beside her own as she wanted feel that warm feeling of holding hands again.

"Yozora…"

The violet eyed girl quickly removed her hand and hoped Sena didn't see what she did. It was then realized that the other girl was still asleep but she could the blondes closed eyes moving. "Is she dreaming? About what though?"

"Yozora…I love you."

Time stopped at that exact moment. Yozora's eyes widened when she heard those three words. From that point on, the train ride remained quiet for the rest of the trip.
