- Chapter 2 – Need Some Help? -

Inside the dorms – Friday night

Before they realize it, friday night came, and their expectations were overflowing.

- What shoud I wear tomorrow?

Both girls asked themselves and their indecision didn't passed unnoticed.

- Musashi onee-san? What's the matter?

- I... I don't know what should I wear...

- Oh! Are you perhaps going on a date? - Yamato teased

- Eh!? N-No!... Of course not! - Said Musashi with a bright blush on her face, that left Yamato with no doubts.

~ Citadel Hit! Ufufu - Thought Yamato, what made her let out a litthe chuckle.

- Who is he? Is he Handsome? Don't tell me... It's the admiral!? - Yamato wasted no time in letting the questions out.

- No... it's... - Musashi stopped for a moment

- It's?

- Ten... Ryuu...

- Ten... Ryuu... - Yamato repeated slowly, then she realized it.

- Oh... OH! You're going out with Tenryuu-san!?

That really surprised Yamato, for many reasons, but specially because of two things. Tenryuu was a light cruiser and her sister a battleship, it wasn't an expected relationship to be seen, but she quickly realized she was in a similar situation, depite that the destroyer in question hadn't confessed to her yet, and neither did her. And despite not knowing Tenryuu a lot, Yamato had already heard about the girl and some of her shenaningans. So, her curiosity grew instantly.

- Yes silly... I'm going out with her tomorrow... Please don't spread it around ok?

- You don't need to worry about that! But, now i'm curious... Why Tenryuu-san?

- Well... She was the one that approached me, yesterday afternoon.

- Ohh! How sweet of her! And how was it?

- Y-yes... it was indeed sweet of her... She called me and told she had something important to talk, but wanted to do it in private. At first I though it was kinda strange, but I went along with it, we walked to a nearby building and she asked me out. Just like that. And instantly I started liking her.

- Musashi onee-san, i'm so, so happy to see this happening! And i will always support you, you know that! - Yamato said with sincerity, seeing things going well for her sister always made her happy.

- Can you help me with my clothes? I'm really not sure to what wear tomorrow...

- I will be glad to! So... let's see what will make Tenryuu-san's heart throb when she sees you!

That statement made Musashi blush instantly.

- YAMATO!

- Jus' Kidding! HAHAHAHA!

[Linebreak]

Tenryuu was far from not having any trouble with her clothes, and Tatsuta had a sharp eye to finding Tenryuu at trouble.

- Teenryuuu-chaan~! - Tatsuta teased almost singing her sister's name

Tenryuu felt a chill down her spine when heard that, already knowing her troubles just got worse. She has been caught.

- What do you want Tatsuta?

- You seem to be in trouble ufufufu~

- No! I'm not!

- So you are indeed in trouble ufufu, don't you want help of your little sister? I'm sure i'm better than you in choosing clothes - She teased

- Shut up! I don't need your help!

- I wonder why such indecision... You usually wears anything ufufufu~

- Shut up!

At this point, Tenryuu was blushing deeply, trying to hide her face from Tatsuta, that was slowly approaching her with a silly smile on her face.

Reaching her sister, Tatsuta then hold her by the shoulders, feeling her sister quiver with the touch, and gently turned her around, facing her. Tenryuu's face was red as a type 3 shell, looking to the ground to avoid eye contact.

- Who is he Tenryuu-chan?

- I-i said shut up...

- Ufufufu~

- I-it's not "He" though...

- We are getting somewhere ufufufu

- Shut up!

She was getting the answers she wanted, but realized Tenryuu was getting really unconfortable. Despite loving to tease her sister, Tatsuta knew very well her limits, and didn't fail to realize she had reached it. She then cupped Tenryuu's face, making her look to her eyes.

- Tenryuu-chan... You know you can count on me to help you, don't you? I'm your sister afterall... - She said with sincerity, wanting to release some of the built in tension.

Tatsuta didn't fail to make Tenryuu feel more confortable, she saw the blush on her face slowly fading away.

- Yes, I know I can count on you... But I never know when you are serious Tatsuta...

- I'm always serious when you need me to be serious, and i'm sure you're the same for me Tenryuu-chan~

- ...sashi...

- Sashi?

- Mu-Musashi-san! I'm going on a date with Musashi-san!

- Aaand she revealed it! Did it hurt?

Just like Yamato, that surprised Tatsuta a lot. A light cruiser and a battleship? She was afraid if a relationship between two extremely different classes like this would work, because she didn't want to see her sister getting sad. But looking from another angle, Tenryuu was going to date one of the most powerful battleships that would ever exist, no one better to keep her dear sister safe, and that made her a little jealous, a very strange feeling to Tatsuta.

- S-shut up...

- Ufufu~ Now tell me... Did you called her or she called you?

- I called her, obviously... why would someone like her call me anyway?

- Tenryuu-chan I must admit... You have more guts than I thought, congratulations ufufu

- Was that supposed to be a compliment? - Tenryuu asked blushing again.

- For sure it is – Said Tatsuta, and Tenryuu could see she wasn't lying.

- Thanks Tatsuta... But truth to be told, i'm not as brave as you think I am... I only called her to a date, because I thought my love for her was fool, that I would never be able to reach her and that she was going to refuse me... This way I could forget about her and move on, but she accepted going out with me, and it still hard for me to believe.

- And that makes you even braver... - Said Tatsuta, hugging Tenryuu.

- Wha...What should I wear tomorrow?

- Ufufufu~ Let's see!
