Am I welcomed back with open arms?
But anyway, enjoy this glimpse of OT3 Tomgumi? Sure, that's a good ship name...
I don't own anything.
"Coach…" Kagura entered the teachers' office, looking very sheepish.
Yukari paused her ranting to see who had addressed Minamo; it was her second star athlete, and of course, a swimming club member. Instantly the English teacher was forgotten as Minamo twisted in her seat to face the student.
"Kagura." Minamo smiled at her pupil. "How can I help you?"
The tomboy rubbed the back of her head, "Could I, uh, talk to you?"
The PE teacher blinked and then nodded, "Yeah. I mean yes, of course."
"Cool, thanks." Kagura tried to smile.
Yukari, abandoned and feeling useless, huffed. "Anything you'd like to talk to me about?"
Kagura shook her head. "Not really."
"Ignore her." Minamo said, leading them out of the office. "Let's head down to the front of the school. We only have about twenty minutes left of break, might as well spend it outside!"
"Sure, thanks."
The hallways were empty, but the noise from the classrooms echoed throughout. Their walk to the front of the school was quiet and an awkward air floated between them. Minamo wondered what this was about, while Kagura panicked about what she would actually say.
Once outside, they sat on a bench and enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine. Minamo crossed a leg over the other and then looked at her student expectantly.
"Um, coach. I guess I kinda need some advice."
The PE teacher frowned. "Oh?"
The teen blushed heavily. She shifted in her seat before letting out a large breath of air. "I'm in some relationship trouble."
"I-I'm probably not the best person to-"
"But you are coach!" Kagura interrupted, noting how uneasy her sensei had become. "I, well, aren't you dating Yukari?"
Minamo jumped to her feet and her face burned red. "Wh-What? Why would you-"
"It's cool!" She held her hands up in defense, "No one cares! You two look happy and that's all that matters."
Minamo stared at her student before stiffly sitting back down. She kept her back straight and shoulders back. "What is this about?"
"I'm in love with this girl… And I need to talk to someone who understands." She sweatdropped. "She's kinda like Yukari. Annoying, but super funny. But, the thing is, she's got someone else."
"Have you tried talking to her?"
"Yeah." Kagura blushed. "This is where I'm stuck. She likes me back."
Minamo tilted her head, "That doesn't sound like a-"
"And her girlfriend likes me too."
Gray eyes widened and her eyebrows shot up to her hairline. "D-Do you-"
"I dunno coach!" Kagura put her head in her hands. "I mean she's awesome, pretty hot, but I've never thought about having both."
"Kagura, what worries you about that kind of relationship?"
"Everything!" The teen sighed and hung her head.
Minamo rubbed her eyes tiredly, "You might have a slight problem, but you have to decide what you want."
"… Would I be a bad person, a freak, if I wanted them both?" Kagura looked up at her favorite teacher, expecting to see disgust. Minamo's caring eyes met hers.
The athletic woman smiled and shook her head. "Not at all."
Then Kagura launched herself at her coach. Her arms were tight around Minamo's form and her head rested against a track suit clad shoulder. "Thanks coach."
Minamo grinned and gently placed a hand on her student's arm. "No doubt you'll receive strange looks for pursuing a relationship of that sort…" Kagura pulled back to listen to her, "But as long as you're happy, don't pay any attention to the world."
"I-Thank you."
Kagura stood and bowed to her teacher.
Minamo winked, "Good luck, Kagura."
The sporty teen grinned and took off towards the building, giving a short wave behind her.
