-Ayako's POV-

I fidget in my seat as I stare at my phone with uncertainty. I know Onee-sama said it's fine, but now I'm too nervous to call her… and I haven't heard from her all weekend which isn't normal. She usually bugs me non-stop about hanging out, fashion, and all sorts of things. I let out a heavy sigh and clap my phone closed again.

"What's wrong, shorty? You're sighing pretty hard." I lean my head back and look up at Kurumi's mischievous smiling face, her eyes flashing in amusement. "What seems to be the problem Ayako?" She purrs softly, moving around the couch to take the seat next to me.

"Well Onee-sama finally said I could tell Miku how I felt about her since the business deal went through between us and her agency, but she hasn't even messaged me about the deal. She hasn't messaged me once all weekend…" I answer, my voice uncertain.

"So you are sitting here sighing and moping on the couch because your crush isn't texting you so you can tell her you like her… That sounds like a really dumb problem to have Ayako. Instead of waiting for her to ask you out to have some fun, just message her you dolt." She chastises me before pulling me into a hug. "Girl up and ask her to go out on a date, set the mood and confess to her." She tells me before letting me go and leaving into her own shadow.

I sigh as she leaves and opens my phone again. I click on Miku's number and hit the dial button. "Ayachi! I didn't expect you to call me, what's up?" Miku's excited voice chirps over the phone, causing my heart to race.

"Hey Miku, I just wanted to check in with you. You usually bug me a lot over the weekend with texts but since you didn't I got a bit worried about you." I tell her, trying to sound nonchalant about it.

"Yea sorry, I've been busy all weekend with Idol training. I haven't been able to text anyone. I'm sorry Ayachi!" She apologies over the phone profusely.

"It's fine don't worry Miku. I just wanted to see if you wanted to go out on a date tomorrow that's all. You've been so busy these last few weeks with the business deal, we haven't been able to have any fun at all."

"Ayachi are you asking me to hang out?! I always have to beg you to come hang out with me, so of course, let's go! What do you wanna do Ayachi?" She asks excitedly.

"I was thinking we could buy some outfits for us at the mall before going to the movies, maybe go to the arcade too. Just have fun, how does that sound?" I ask, hoping she agrees, and no surprise to me, she does.

"Sounds good! I'll meet you at the mall right after school. Don't be late or I'll get mad ok? I haven't had my dose of Ayachi for way too long.~" She complains loudly as I giggle.

"Alright Miku I'll see you tomorrow." I agree, then hang up the phone before laying back against the couch with a sigh of relief, the first part was complete, now for the actual challenging part, figuring out when and how to confess.

"Ayako, I'm home!" I perk up as Tsubasa opens the front door. "Come on, get off your butt. We're going out." She says and I hop up and meet her at the door with a hug.

"You just got home, where are we going?" I ask curiously.

"A new public bath opened up down the road from here and I thought it might be fun to go there after we grab a quick bite." She explains as she lends me toward the restaurants in our local area, settling on a nice bbq place for us to dine in at. "So how is confessing to Miku going?" Tsubasa asks, almost like she saw right through me.

"Well step one is complete. She and I are meeting up after school to go on a date, I guess. I figure I'll just confess to her when I think it's the right time." I say with a shrug, not really having a plan, until Tsubasa tuts at me.

"Now now Ayako, you can't go about confessing so lightly. This is a girl you love after all, you have to make sure it's special, something she will remember for the rest of her life." She instructs me carefully over food.

"Yea, but how am I supposed to do that Onee-sama? Normally I'd buy her something, but Miku is kinda loaded because of her job as an idol, so there's nothing I could get her that she couldn't get herself." I complain.

"I'm a bit disappointed Ayako, though I guess you've never actually done this sort of thing before. Price isn't everything, Ayako, I could buy any piece of jewelry I want, but I'd prefer one that you bought me even if it's lower quality because YOU bought it for me. I know for a fact Miku will feel the same way, so keep that in mind ok?" I nod my head thoughtfully and enjoy the rest of the evening with Onee-sama, especially the bath.

As we get ready for bed I stop suddenly. "Onee-sama, I know what I'm going to do! I have to stay up late though to do it, is that ok?" I ask her, already heading toward the door of our room.

"Alright, but try not to stay up too late ok? I'll be in here reading until you come to bed, so no sneaking how late you actually stayed up." Tsubasa says with a smirk, letting me know I do still have to come back to bed at some point. I nod and head down to my workshop to begin working on my present, finishing as fast as I can with it still looking like quality work. Once it's done I put it in a small box and leave it on the table near my backpack to grab in the morning before heading off to bed with Tsubasa.

-Next day, Ayako's POV-

I let out a nervous sigh as I wait at the meeting spot for Miku to get there. I know I'm closer to here than she is, but it still makes me nervous that she isn't here yet. I check my messages again, clicking on Onee-sama's messages and smile as I re-read her message of encouragement and wishing me good luck.

"Ayachi! I'm sorry to keep you waiting~" I turn in time to see Miku rushing me before my face is buried in her soft chest as she hugs me tightly. "I missed you so much Ayachi! I hated not being able to see you even though I was working with Onee-sama!"

I giggle and hug her back as she pets my head. "It's alright Miku, I get you were busy, but that's why we're hanging out today, to make up for the last couple weeks right?" I flash her a bright smile before taking her hand leading her out of the plaza and into the mall.

"Wow you're excited today Ayachi." Miku purrs happily as she follows me. "What's the plan for today?"

"I thought you might be a bit tired after working so much with no break, so I thought we can do what you love doing with me the most, playing dress up." I barely finish the sentence before Miku squeals in excitement and takes the lead, dragging me to the nearest clothing store to get me to try on some stuff for her.

"What should I have you try on first? I think something cute obviously, but what kind of style?"

"How about something a bit more practical for once rather than cute?" I ask her hesitantly as she starts going through rack after rack of clothing.

"How about both!" She grabs something and shoves me into a dressing room to try it on. "Come on cutie! Don't keep me waiting too long or I'll come in there and help you get into it myself." She teases impatiently.

I sigh heavily, knowing that that threat is real and I quickly start undressing, setting my school uniform aside as I slide on the thigh high stockings. Well this looks relatively safe and not crazy like normal. I think with a shrug before slipping on the denim pants and cute black and white t-shirt, pulling the suspenders up over my shoulder and stepping out of the dressing room.

"Ahhh you are so cute!" She hugs me tight as I step out of the changing room. "I knew those shorts would be perfect on you, so small and short, but the stockings help cover up your legs. This one is a definite keeper I'd say."

I try on several more outfits before Miku was finally satisfied. As we move to the front of the store to buy the clothes I cut Miku off and pull out my card. "I'm paying this time Miku. You always buy my clothes but these are MY clothes, so let me get it this time."

Miku blinks at me in surprise then hugs me, burying my face in her breasts. "Aww Ayachi you are so cute! You're silly, of course I'm going to pay Ayachi, I made you try everything on, so it's the least I can do."

"But I asked you out today, so I should pay for everything." I protest soundly, pushing back out of Miku's cleavage, blushing hard.

"That's not how this works Ayachi.~ How about you pay for food then. If that's not enough you can pay for the movies too." She offers, and before I can object she takes the clothes and pays for them. "And this time I'M carrying them." She smirks at me and I sigh.

"Fine… Come on Miku, let's go to the movie. I wanna get some good seats for this one!" I tell her, instantly perking up after giving up arguing with her. "I thought you might like it and it sounds pretty good, it's called 'Yuri Dimension'. Apparently the entire cast are girls." I explain as we leave the store and head towards the movie theaters.

Miku smirks as she follows, her eyes on my ass. "Well that's certainly my kind of movie Ayachi." Miku giggles. "The cuter girls the better, but none of them will be as cute as you."

I blush furiously. "Come on let's just hurry up." I say as I brush her compliment aside. Miku smiles happily and follows me into the theaters. "Here are my tickets for Yuri Dimension." I pull out my tickets and hand it to the man at the window.

"Two more girls for that movie huh? It seems it's very popular with other groups of girls as well as the occasional boy. First theater on the left, hope you enjoy it."

I blush at his knowing smile and Miku wraps a protective arm around my shoulder and directs me into the theater. We grab some popcorn and a drink to share before heading into the packed theater, getting the best seats in the theater thanks to me getting the tickets beforehand. As the lights start to dim I reach into the bucket of popcorn and grab a handful, but before I can bring it to my mouth Miku stops me and eats all the popcorn in my hand the scoops up a small handful and smiles at me.

"Say 'ahhh' Ayachi.~" She smirks as I blush and opens my mouth. She giggles and pops popcorn into my mouth. "I get to feed you for the movie, so you better keep your hand out of the popcorn, unless you wanna feed me too."

I blush hard and pop some popcorn into her mouth. "Fine." I smirk slightly as Miku stares at me in surprise before she smiles back and pops more into my mouth. We settle down as the movie starts, and at some point I work up my courage to rest my head on her shoulder. Miku quickly reciprocates the motion by resting her cheek against my head and I smile happily.

"That movie was pretty decent." I admit as we leave the theater, Miku tosses the empty drink and popcorn into the trash on the way out.

"Yea, the two heroines really complimented each other quite well. They were super cute together, though neither of them were as cute as Ayachi, like I said." She bumps into me playfully and I bump her back and stick my tongue out at her. "So where is our next stop Miss Party Planner?"

"It's not like I have a real plan. We didn't have to go to the movies, I just bought the tickets because I thought you might like to go. Though I was hoping we could go to the aquarium or the arcade."

"Hmm, let's go to the arcade. I wanna see just how viable of an idol you are, so we are going to go play Dance Dance Evolution! I'm going to record it and send it to my agency along with the video of you singing to see if they'll accept you as a backup idol."

I stop at that while Miku keeps walking, humming softly. "Wait what, video of me singing? I've never sung in front of you, I've never sung in front of anyone. Not since I was a child with Onee-sama." I glare at Miku suspiciously but she just smiles innocently back at me, a carefree smile on her face.

"It happened when you came to my school, you sang a little there. Your voice was beautiful, you know, I bet with some training you could make a top tier idol like me, as long as you can dance. Now come on!" She grabs my hand and takes off, dragging me behind her all the way to the arcade.

I sigh heavily as Miku puts money into the machine and selects a song for me to dance to and stares at me expectantly. "I'm not doing this Miku, you didn't even let me pick the song I wanted to do." I complain.

"Aww but you'd look so cute doing this dance, please Ayachi." She looks at me, pleading for me to do it and I finally relent.

"Fine, but that means I get to pick whatever dance you do." I counter and Miku claps in excitement, totally fine with this arrangement. I roll my eyes and get up on the dance pad and hit start. I start moving to the beat, hitting all the early signals as the music plays. My hips sway to the catchy hiphop beat, really getting me into. I pick up my pace as the song gets faster, surprising both Miku and myself at how well I was doing.

"Wow Ayachi, you're really good!" Miku claps excitedly as I step off the game platform, barely winded. I notice several other people watching and clapping and I dip my head in embarrassment and walk over to Miku and nudge her toward it.

"Your turn, so hurry up, everyone is staring…" I murmur. Miku smiles and brushes past me. I walk around to the song selection and choose the most upbeat, fast moving song I know and step back to watch the show. Everyone's attention shifts from me to Miku as her performance begins. I never take my eyes off her, taking in her happy smile and the cute look of concentration on her face, not to mention her swaying hips and bouncing breasts that I can't take my eyes off of.

"How was I?" She asks as she hops down, only slightly winded.

"No surprise you killed it Miku." I smile at her as she hops down beside me. "Come on let's get a drink and play a less active game." I drag her away from the crowd and park her in a seat.

"Ayachi, are you mad at me for making you dance on stage?" Miku asks as I return with a drink for each of us, and a snack. I set her drink in front of her and sits across from her, a look of surprise crossing my face.

"Why would you think that?" I ask her curiously as I dip one of the fries I bought into some ketchup and take a bite of it as I look at her quizzically.

"Well you didn't seem to want to do DDE, and seemed a bit annoyed by it. Then after you finished, people were staring at you which I know you hate, and then you dragged me away without saying anything. I thought you might be mad because I made you play it." She looks back apologetically.

"N-No no! I actually love DDE, I pulled you away from the game because everyone was watching you. The dance you did was really active, everyone was watching you because your boobs were bouncing all over the place. I thought it best to get you out of there. Sorry I wasn't mad, I've been having a lot of fun." I try to explain.

Miku stares at me a bit blankly for a moment before a sly grin splits her face. "How does Ayachi know that? Don't tell me you couldn't take your eyes off me. What were you staring at?" She asks teasingly.

"Y-Your face, you looked like you were having so much fun but so focused too. Y-Your hips, you really got into it, just like when you dance on stage, a-and your chest. Y-You need to be more careful Miku, all those boys were drooling over you as you were dancing." I tell her blushing furiously.

She watches me intently as I grab my drink and start sucking it down to hide my embarrassment. Her smile softens and she holds my hand, giving it a squeeze. "Thank you for watching out for me Ayachi, sorry for ruining the mood by thinking you were unhappy with our date."

I blush hard as she holds my hand and I keep drinking my drink. "I-It's nothing special… Come on, let's finish up this snack and let's go to the aquarium. They recently reopened the underwater tunnel to the public after some renovations, I heard it's even better than before."

"Oh sounds romantic. Ayachi you are certainly trying hard on this date aren't you." She teases, causing me to blush even harder and start eating the fries faster to cover for my awkwardness.

"Geez, you always tease me so much Miku!" I complain loudly as she snickers playful and helps me finish off the remaining french fries. We throw our trash away and leave the arcade, walking close to one another, a pleased look on Miku's face, and an embarrassed one on mine.

I pay for two tickets at the entrance and I instantly head toward the underwater tunnel, excited to see the changes to this place. Miku watches in amusement as I walk ahead of her, looking around excitedly. I stop as I get under a coral archway and wave Miku over. "What is it? Did you see something cool?" She asks as she walks up.

"I think it's cool but you might not." She walks up beside me and looks around as I reach into my back for the small box I've been hiding this whole time. She turns to question me but stops as I pull out the box. "I made something for you, as a congratulations for sealing the business deal with Onee-sama. It's nothing special, but I decided to try my hands at making some earrings from some of my parts in my workshop. I know it's kinda weird but it's all I could think of." My voice tapers off quietly towards the end as Miku opens the box, revealing a brilliant green necklace and matching earrings made from computer parts.

"They look beautiful Ayachi, I never knew computer parts could look so nice, they look nicer than a lot of jewelry I've worn." She says as she takes the necklace out and loops it around her neck. " Thank you Ayachi." She smiles at me, before her lips fall into a frown at my fidgeting.

"Miku…" I take a deep breath as she looks at me concerned. "Miku Izayoi I love you!" I finally say, plucking up the courage to finally admit it, my voice firm, despite how uncertain and nervous I look. "I'm sorry it took me so long to answer your feelings, but I had to sort out how I felt b-but now."

Miku stops me by pressing her finger against my lips gently. "Ayachi you don't have to explain anything. I know I sprung that on you before, but I'm just glad that you feel the same way about me that I feel about you." She beams happily and I blush hard. I get up on my toes and she bends down slightly.

I close my eyes as our lips meet and I wrap my arms around her. Miku smiles against my lips and as we hold each other, she gently licks my lips, testing to see what I'm ok with and what I'm not. I open my mouth, letting her tongue into my mouth. I let out a soft sigh and gently intertwine my tongue with hers as we hug each other tightly. Our tongues dance around each other for a few more moments before we break apart and stand their blushing furiously.

"I love you Ayako, and I'm glad you love me too." Miku says with a bright smile and hugs me tight, rocking me back and forth.

I hug her back. "You'll have to go to my place once we are done with our date, Onee-sama and I have a few things to tell you about." I admit to her with an embarrassed chuckle.

"What a coincidence, Onee-sama and I have something to tell you too." She says with a smirk before turning and walking further down the tunnel.

"Wait, what do you two have to tell me?" I ask her as I start to follow her. She giggles softly and shoots me a wink but keeps walking, not waiting for me to catch up. "Miku come on!" I race after her and when I catch up I grab her arm, holding it to my chest and intertwining my fingers with her. "You are such a brat."

"Yea but I'm your brat now. Come on, let's go tell Onee-sama the news." She says brightly, leaning down and kissing the top of my head.

"Great, someone else who isn't going to play fair." I grumble, a content smile on my face as we leave the aquarium behind and head towards home to tell Tsubasa the news she probably already knows, or can at least guess.
