For the prompt: "You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn't have to go to such extremes."
May you enjoy~ XD
You x Mari
Why is it so hard to hold her hand!?
You has been tailing Mari for a few hours now. She's not intentionally being a stalker or a creep; it's simply because she was so bad at initiating skinship…lovey-dovey couple-ly stuff and she actually feels bad for leaving it all to Mari and thought maybe she'd do it today, but..!
You swallows hard and stares at her empty hand reaching centimetres close to the blonde's hand before she pulls back with a deep intake of breath.
Gahh! Why is it so hard to take Mari-chan's hand?! Or anything!
You looks at Mari's back sadly; half wishing her girlfriend would notice her struggles and help her, half glad Mari hasn't so she still can try again.
Ughh…I'm so pathetic at this…
You averts her gaze; desperate, even her brain gives her weird ideas.
Maybe…
You holds her breath for as long as she could till it's really painful to continue and she started coughing for air, all so she can get her face to be red naturally. Then she splashes a bit of water on her face to make it seem like she's sweating. You nods to herself and runs over to Mari, taking a roundabout way so she's approaching from the front.
"M-Mari-chan..!" You calls and just as Mari was about wave hi, the ash-brunette releases the strength in her legs so she falls forwards – eyes closing slowly - the perfect act of fainting.
"You!?" Mari exclaims as she catches the shorter girl in her arms, stepping closer and holding You up so she doesn't slide to the ground. "Oh dear, I'll bring you to the nurse's office right away."
It worked! I'm closer to Mari-chan now…Wait! But I have to pretend to be unconscious…
You was beginning to regret her life choices now. Why could she not just ask Mari if they could hold hands as a normal person would!? Her Watanabe brain just had to give her the bright idea of feigning unconsciousness!
You guesses she's in the nurse office when she felt the softness of the bed, but her heart was starting to race as she could also tell that her girlfriend decided to let her lay on Mari's lap.
Mari-chan..!
Mari's giggles made You pay attention instead of berating herself. The blonde strokes You's hair gently before blowing in You's ears unexpectedly.
You jolts and then flinches and then…opens her eyes slowly to see Mari and her Cheshire grin staring back at her.
Busted huh…
"You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention…you didn't have to go to such extremes~" Mari chuckles at You's bright red face she hid behind both hands.
"I…I didn't know what I was supposed to do, okay!? Mou..!" You shakes her head from side to side, utterly embarrassed and wishing for a hole to jump into to hide away from her laughing girlfriend.
Mari showers You with headpats to help the blushing girl, though that just serves to make You even more embarrassed.
"D-Don't baby me, Mari-chan! I-I…" You glares weakly through her full-red face and averts her eyes again.
Mari giggles once more; loving how adorable the usually suave swimmer can be when it comes to romance and her. "But you're my baby~ how can I not~" Mari sing-songs as You pouts at her.
"Mari-chan!"
Ugh, this is so embarrassing!
"Next time just tell me instead of stalking around me like a moth to the flame, okay You~?" Mari says with a huge, huge smile.
You's blue eyes couldn't grow any bigger. "Y-Y-You knew!?"
"Of course~ You weren't exactly subtle~" Mari chuckles as she pats You again.
You turns in Mari's lap, hiding her face away from her girlfriend and screams in her mind.
Ahhhhhhhh!
