A bonfire blazed. The class partied under night's cloak. Tenko led Himiko in a series of stark poses. Angular shadows moved as a dance that mesmerized Kaede. Hot marshmallow threatened to fall off her skewer. Kaede lifted the treat above her face to catch the fluff in her mouth.

Miu snatched the marshmallow with her teeth before the molten sugar could reach Kaede's lips. Firelight flickered on her shit-eating grin.

A smile of Kaede's own spread. She pulled Miu against her and nibbled her lower lip, stealing back a puff of marshmallow stuck there.

Miu eked out a high-pitched whine.
