Chapter 4

Yuzuko: Trip to the Mall

"So Yukari's out with her family again, eh?" Yui says after Yuzuko comes in her room.

"Yeah, but she'll return, don't worry. But for now~" Yuzuko quickly takes the blonde's hands in hers. "We have time to ourselves, right, Yui-chan~?"

"W-well, uhhhh...do you have any idea what we should do?"

"Hmmm…I know! We should go shopping at the mall together!" Yuzuko says, pumping a fist in the air.

"The mall?"

"Yep! We'll take pictures and send them to Yukari-chan, too~!"

The blonde thinks about it for a moment. They haven't shopped together in a while, especially with just the two of them. Yui nods and smiles at the pink haired girl.

"Sure thing," she says. "We'll go."

"Yay!" Yuzuko wraps her arms around the blonde tightly. "I love youuuu~!"

"H-hey, get off me, will you!?"

The Mall*

Yui waits at the entrance, checking her phone from time to time until she hears happy footsteps coming toward her. She looks up and sees the short haired girl running up to her and stops.

"Sorry. Were you waiting long?" Yuzuko asks.

"Ah, no." Yui replies. "You're just in time."

"Oh good~" Yuzuko links arms around Yui's. "Well then, shall we get started on our adventure~?"

"Uhhhh, sure…" Yui sweat drops and the two enter the mall to explore.

It may not seem much, but for Yui, she is being dragged to some awesome stores like video games, toy stores and small shops. Then, they go to a arcade room to play games, like a two player shooter game, then a motorcycle simulator game with the girls taking turns and taking pictures of each other as they go on it. They try the crane game to catch some stuffed animals for themselves and Yukari as a souvenir. After the arcade, they decide to grab a smoothie to drink after having some fun for a while. After ordering the smoothies, the girls go and sit at a bench near a fountain. Yui drinks her blue smoothie while Yuzuko drinks her pink one. She looks over at Yui's smoothie and scoots a bit closer to her.

"Ne, Yui-chan~" Yuzuko says. "May I have a taste of your smoothie? You can have a sip of mine~" She holds out her own, making Yui blush.

"Eh? B-but there are…people watching…" Yui says.

"Let them stare then~" Yuzuko says. "They're probably jealous right about now~!"

"Or they might be annoyed by your actions," Yui counters.

"I prefer my interpretation~! Now then, I can't wait any longer, so I'm going in!"

"W-wait…Yuzuko!" But it's too late. In an instant, the short haired girl jumps in, takes out her phone and at the exact moment, she snaps a picture of her sipping on Yui's smoothie with the shocked blonde in the background.

She pulls away and giggles. "Mm~! Delicious! And…best of all, I got a selfie with Yui-chan's smoothie~!"

BONK!

"Ow! Hey, you didn't have to hit me because of that!" Yuzuko whines.

"It's so embarrassing, you know that!?" Yui shouts.

"But hey, hey, you can at least try mine! Then we're even!"

"No way I'm doing that!"

"Come on! For me? For Yukari-chan~?"

Yui blushes heavily as she stares at the puppy dog eyes of Yuzuko's. The sadder her expression gets, the harder it is for Yui to resist. She then swallows hard and takes out her phone. Yuzuko lets her take a sip and goes in to be part of the picture Yui takes as she sips her smoothie. Once she pulls away, she checks her phone to see if she took it correctly and it turns out that it's a success.

"Let's send them to Yukari-chan, okay~?"

"Sure."

They take the time to dial her number and send the pictures to their girlfriend with the text on the bottom. A few minutes later, Yukari's reply to both of them is a smiley face and a "I'm so happy for you!" text. Both Yuzuko and Yui blush at this and shortly after, they get another message from Yukari, this time a picture of her standing with a dolphin next to her at the aquarium she went to with her family.

"Yukari's having fun herself I see," Yui says. "That's good."

"Yeah," Yuzuko agrees. She turns to face Yui and leans a bit closer. "Yui-chan…."

"Wh-what is it, Yuzuko?" Yui asks, backing away a little.

"I had a really fun time with you. Even though Yukari-chan isn't present, I still had fun."

Yui nods in agreement with a small smile. "Yeah…I had fun too."

With that, Yuzuko wraps an arm around Yui's waist, pulls her close and kisses her on the lips. Yui shortly returns the favor, hugging her back, pulling her close to her. Honestly, Yui doesn't care if people are staring or not. All that matters is her making out with her girlfriend, Yuzuko. When they pull away, they gaze into each other's eyes with a smile.

"I love you, Yui-chan~" the pinkette says.

"I love you too, Yuzuko."
