Candus98: Lmao, maybe something stupid might happen. I've planned a big event in a few chapters... not sure if I can write it as a big event though. XD. Anyways, lol, nice one. Thanks for reviewing~

KazaneHyori: XD Honoka doesn't seem the type to be mature, but I like to see her as someone who acts mature at the right moments... something like that.

Major Mike Powell III: Congrats, 100th reviewer! XD I had the slightest feeling that you'd be the 100th AND that you would say exactly what you said, "100th Review, Bitches"! XD I'm planning for Tsubasa's confession to come in a few more chapters... and then I'll start writing on their nice peaceful lives together. Yaaaay~ Thanks anyways!

(╯O∆O)╯ Here's an update on Obsession. After this, another chapter, and... ta ta ta ta taaaaa... lol, jk. Dunno, it's hard to plan for so many fanfics while having even more ideas for a fic to write and not wanting to forget them all, and at the same time having to deal with school's crap. T~T I'm gonna die. Please come to my funeral... XD

I do not own Love Live, nor do I own any of the characters, personalities, or any possible cameos involved.


.: Chapter 23 :.

Anju smiled. "Y'know, Tsubasa, we respect your decisions..." she began.

"I know, I know..." the brunette interrupted her. "...I should take action rather than waiting for her, right...?"

"Yes, indeed."

One of her friend's eyes widened with surprise. "Huh, to think you already knew of Kousaka-san's returning of your feelings." Erena said, brushing her hair asides. "I didn't think you would actually catch on... hihihi."

Blushing, Tsubasa glared at the girl with a mole. "S-shut up, Erena..." she muttered. "...I'm not that dumb, you know..."

"Why pretend not to notice her feelings, though?" Anju asked.

"...why not?"

Erena frowned. "Tsubasa, I think thatー"

"I told myself... I hoped that Honoka-chan would wait for me." Tsubasa smiled. "But... but I'm scared. I know that she also likes me back, but what if I was just... misunderstanding something?" she asked. "What if that's just Honoka-chan's way of showing friendship, and she doesn't actually like me back like that...?" Shivering, Tsubasa sat down and chuckled hopelessly while leaving her head hanging backwards on the sofa. "I... I'm just scared that I might not really deserve her, y'know..."

"...Tsubasa, stop talking nonsense." Anju stated. "I, for one, believe that you deserve Honoka-san much more than I deserve my Maki-chan." she said. "I understand how you may be scared about these things, but if that's the case, thenー"

"ーthen you should still move forward instead of running away, Tsubasa!" Erena suddenly shouted.

Stole the words right from me... Anju sweat-dropped.

"...Erena..." Tsubasa whispered.

Her black-haired friend shook her head. "Tsubasa, I respected you. When you suddenly came to me and asked to become a school idol with you... god, I saw how brave you were, in your eyes." she said. "You wouldn't give up no matter how may times we failed at dancing, at first... you were determined." With a chuckle, Erena looked her friend in the eyes. "The Tsubasa I know wouldn't give up so easily or run away. She'd keep on trying and make the best out of what she can get!"

The brunette stared at her friend. "...well, I... guess you're right about that." she replied. "But..."

"But what?" Erena asked. "What are you so afraid of, that would actually make you give up?"

"N-now, now, Erena..." Anju began, but the two ignored her attempt to calm them down.

"I think that... either ways, it's gonna be hopeless, eh." Tsubasa sighed. "Feeling hopeless, y'know. It's li-"

Erena grabbed her shoulders and pulled her close. "Tsubasa."

"H-huh?" the brunette whimpered. "W-what is i-"

"Do you like Kousaka Honoka?"

Tsubasa raised an eyebrow, before turning just slightly red. "W-what is this, Erena... you already know that I do..."

Erena sighed. "Sorry, let me rephrase this again... Do you love Kousaka Honoka?"

Her mind finally registered the seriousness in her friend's tone. ...there's no way she'd stop trying to convince me, is there? Tsubasa chuckled. "...I do."

"Thenー"

"Yeah, you're right." The brunette grinned and got up. She pumped her fist. "It... does seem too fast for me to give up now. I should give it my best and see first what will happen next!"

"Tsubasa..." Erena nodded and smiled.

"Of course... how could I be so stupid? I'm not going to give up!" She laughed to herself and hugged Erena. "Thanks, Erena!"

"No problem."

"...well, at least it's solved now." Anju sighed.

Tsubasa grinned. "I've decided. This Friday, I shall tell Honoka-chan my true feelings!"


Yes. I italicized that last part just as a call-out to nobodD's story, True Feelings. Seriously, I keep re-reading that heavenly masterpiece. If any of you are reading this story and, for some ridiculous reason, have NOT read nobodD's True Feelings, you are seriously missing out on a lot. Go read it now!

And... yeah. Tsubasa's going to tell Honoka her true feelings soon. Wheee...

...just a note, this chapter takes place on a Wednesday in the story. Meh
