"She cannot be your girlfriend," Hana says evenly, smiling softly, "because --"
"She's ours!" Uo says triumphantly, and she and Hana draw toward me simultaneuosly, "And we aren't gonna share!"
Shigure catches on first.
"Oh, wait, you mean-- Oh. Oh. I see," he smiles intently, eyeing us in a new light, "So that's why..."
"Well," I say, "Of course. Yuki and Kyou are my very best friends, and I love them dearly, but... Hana's my girlfriend."
"And mine! You're both mine too," Uo says, elbowing me, "Right, right? At least on the days Hana feels likes sharing you. Honestly, you'd never peg her for the selfish type, but there you go, right?"
Yuki and Kyou have very odd looks on their faces. But just as I think their jaws might be stuck like that, they mouth soundlessly. Maybe they didn't know...?
"Didn't you...know?"
"Umm, uhh, b-but, Tohru, I mean, Miss Honda, I thought that we were..."
Shigure finishes for Yuki with, "Your romantic interests. But, dear me, I do believe I've found some more writing material!"
SLAP! PUNCH! KICK! ZAP!
"Ah--! Sh-Shigure--!" I exclaim, shaken.
"Pervert," says everyone else.
Ugh. Ugh. That was terrible. But I couldn't stop typing... I'm sorry, that wasn't funny at all, now, was it? This is why I can't pull off humor... I did try, though, writer-jm-san... Sorry...
