Author Notes
Not enough Honoka!
May you enjoy~ :D
Butterflies of various colours and sizes flutter and flew all about the park and a wide-eyed middle school first-year gingerhead was turning all about, jaw agape in amazement.
"Uwa~ Uwa~ Kotori-chan! Do you see all the butterflies? They are so prettyyyyy!" The gingerhead started running and jumping about, hands trying to catch a butterfly.
Kotori jogs to catch up to her best friend, hands worrying in front of her chest. "H-Honoka-chan…If you run around like that…Be careful not to fall…"
Honoka runs back the worrying ash-brunette with a determined smile. "I wanna catch a butterfly! Let's catch one together, Kotori-chan~"
Kotori smiles a little at Honoka's enthusiasm. "Mm…I'll do what I can to help?"
Honoka nods excitedly before jumping at a butterfly close to Kotori's head. Missing, she tries again behind Kotori. The butterflies all were able to dodge the gingerhead's attempts as Honoka circled Kotori in her various tries. Kotori almost felt a bit dizzy from trying to keep up with her best friend's actions.
"Aw man. Butterflies are so fast!" Honoka puffs her cheeks out but her blue eyes still burned strongly with focus.
Kotori smiles endearingly at her best friend, she always admired Honoka for her unwavering determination for whatever she has set her mind to do. Kotori pumps her fist in front of her. "Honoka-chan. L-Leave it to me!"
Honoka nods and stares intently at the ash-brunette; wondering what her best friend was going to do to catch a butterfly she failed to catch so far. But after a minute, an orange patterned butterfly lands on Kotori's head, sitting there serenely.
"K-Kotori-chan! You've caught a butterfly on your head!" Honoka cheers in a whisper-shout as she didn't want to scare Kotori or the butterfly. Honoka's smile broadens so widely Kotori felt herself smiles too.
"I-I did?" Kotori stands still, not wanting the butterfly to fly away too.
Honoka nods and hops over to Kotori to hug the ash-brunette's arm. Kotori stiffens and blushes from surprise. "H-Honoka-chan?"
"This way I've caught the butterfly too~ hehe~" Honoka giggles happily as she reasoned that holding onto Kotori who has a butterfly on her equates to her catching a butterfly too.
Kotori felt her heart race and she blinked nervously as she was conscious of how close, warm and soft Honoka felt. And the smell of the flowers that the two of them were playing with before the butterflies was so strong too. Kotori subconsciously steps closer to Honoka and silently thanked the butterfly for landing on her so that her best friend will hug her.
Honoka grins joyfully at Kotori, oblivious to the fact that she was making Kotori nervous-happy to be with her. But she too thanked the butterfly for landing on Kotori so that she can mark today the day she catches a butterfly with her best friend.
