Don't forget to go back over chapter 7, I added more to it so its a lot longer now.
Another two months had passed in the blink of an eye. It was the new term after summer break. Tsubomi hadn't wanted to go home over break, but she needed to get away from Hanai for awhile. She felt smothered by Hanai's attempts to make her fall in love. It was all out of love, but Tsubomi couldn't handle any more of it. Thankfully she got a full month away and felt recharged enough to come back to school. With a large sigh she rubbed the back of her neck. "I know it won't take me long to get exhausted again." Chiho giggled, striding along joyfully next to her roommate.
"Why are you dating her if you can stand the energy she puts into it?"
"Because she's still my best friend. I don't know what to do about her though." Glancing up ahead, she spotted Hanai quickly. Braced for a hyper impact, she cautiously walked over to her. "H-Hey." The brunette turned around with a broken, half-hearted smile.
"Morning Love." No energy radiated out of her like it usually did. No excited jumps, or suffocating hugs, or even devilish smirks. Nothing.
"Are you feeling okay? You don't seem like yourself." Tsubomi touched the palm of her hand to Hanai's forehead.
"I see you haven't heard yet then." Hanai sighed the biggest sigh she could before a few tears rolled down her face. "I really gave it everything I could. I guess it just wasn't enough."
"What are you talking about Hanai?" Tsubomi threw a puzzled look in Chiho's direction as if to ask for information.
More tears spilled out of Hanai's eyes and streamed down her face, dripping across her chest and lap. Not another word came from her, but she raised a single trembling finger to point to a group of girls not far across the courtyard. Between several girls jumping up and down and others talking over each other, Tsubomi saw a flash of dark brown hair float about. And then her ears were struck with a laugh so familiar it made her sick. She stumbled over to the group in a daze, almost in disbelief.
A few of the girls noticed her presence and parted the way. "Y-Ya…Y-Yaya?" A whisp of air barely made it audible. The group went dead silent, knowing full well who Tsubomi was and what had been going on for months. The brunette turned with a teasing smirk.
"Geez. I thought I'd get a little peace before I had to start arguing this morning." Yaya stared at the pink head for a few moments. Both were frozen in place. Tsubomi couldn't believe what she was seeing, or how to process it. Yaya was able to keep calm and collected until she saw her younger kouhai in the flesh. Yaya was visibly nervous to be in front of everyone with Tsubomi, but Tsubomi let the world fade out. She didn't even notice the group had grown larger when she walked over. Everyone waited in anticipation for what was to unfold between the girls.
A single tear ran down Tsubomi's face. "Baka."One single word pierced Yaya's resolve. She started low, but soon her laughter rang out bouncing from trees to buildings. Tsubomi soon realized the size of the crowd. Her face turned sunkissed red from her embarrassment. She quickly darted away toward the dorms.
"If you'll excuse me ladies, I have a runt to catch and pester." With her biggest, cheesiest smile she ran after the younger girl. "Tsubomi!" She ran through he dorm halls, hot on her heels, but the pink head wasn't slowing down.
Tsubomi flung her bedroom door open, but it was far too late to shut it. Yay held the door open, standing in the frame. Both panted heavily for a few moments. "Get out! Baka!" She yelled, but didn't move an inch to make her. Yaya threw her a devilish smirk that sent Tsubomi's heart blasting off. "Yaya-"
Tsubomi was cut off when Yaya plowed forward, tossing the door closed behind her. The younger girl tumbled backward onto the bed, the brunette's grin growing ever wider. "Well, I think you have something that I want. Something I desperately need taken special care of."
"U-Uh…w-what?" Tsubomi's heart felt like it was going to explode. She couldn't think straight, let alone remember what she had of Yaya's.
The older girl climbed on the bed and straddled the pink head easily. She swept Tsubomi's pink hair to the side with ease to keep it out of her way. Leaning forward her dark hair cascaded around them, creating a curtain to separate them from the rest of the world. She hovered next to Tsubomi's ear, breathing lightly on her neck. "My heart." With that she planted a feather kiss against her neck. Tsubomi's couldn't hear anything passed that because her heart was beating so loud. She knew it was impossible for Yaya not to hear it too. There was no way she could hide anything this time. Her body wouldn't let her. Yaya's upper leg pressed firmly between Tsubomi's, making her squirm in place. The brunette's hand slid gently over her smaller body, taking time to hover around her chest but finally stopping on her cheek. She pulled the younger girl's head closer to her, inching closer and closer. All the while eyes darting to check her younger companions face for approval.
The smell of Yaya's hair was intoxicating. It tumbled around her like a vail. Her warm body pressed into her own. Her hand running across her, sending shock waves of electricity through every inch of Tsubomi. She felt like a magnet was pulling on her, trying to bring her to the older girl. Yaya ran a finger down Tsubomi's jaw line, making her shudder and squirm that much more. Pressing their foreheads together, Yaya paused an inch from Tsubomi's mouth. Panting eroticly, she spoke a soft whisper into her mouth. " I need you to say it." A moment longer of silent panting and Yaya was starting to squirm as well. "Tsubomi. Say it for me. I need to hear you say it."
"I-Its…" Gulping down the biggest lump of embarrassment in her throat, "Its…okay." There wasn't a second to breathe. Not that either girl could. Each held their breath as Yaya closed the gap between them. Her lips carefully brushing the younger girl's in the most shy and delicate way imaginable. Only for a second. It was almost as light as her infamous feather kisses Tsubomi had received a few times. When Yaya realized she wasn't going to pull away, she leaned forward once more. This time getting the courage to press her lips into Tsubomi's fully. Both girls heated up instantly. Their bodies on fire, mixing and trembling the more their lips moved against each other. Yaya braced herself on her elbow so her other hand could continue to caress Tsubomi's cheek. They finally let their lips part due to lack of air. Yaya didn't skip a beat, letting her mouth roam over Tsubomi's neck and chest. "Yaya…" Tsubomi gasp as Yaya's hand manage to wiggle its way under her shirt. "W-Wait!" Tsubomi stopped, horrified at what she had done. Yaya froze in place. Her hand cupping Tsubomi's breast, not moving away but not continuing either. "I… I'm sorry! I just…" Tsubomi's hand covered her face in shame. Yaya sighed and reluctantly removed her hand.
"Calm down. Its okay." She laid herself down on the mattress next to the younger girl. Scooping her up in her arms, she cradled the crying girl. "I won't do anything unless you want me to okay? I promise. We can go as slow as you need. As long as I can have you I'm happy." Tsubomi managed to contain her crying to a sniffle.
"Is it really okay? You aren't mad?"
"Of course not. I finally get to come back to Astrea, and then I get to finally have you. I don't have to worry about our relationship anymore. I don't have to wonder how you feel. I at least know you have a generally similar feeling. That's all I need for now. We'll cross the rest when we get there." She pulled Tsubomi closed to her chest, which the pink head gladly accepted. Cuddling in deeper in the warm, Tsubomi knew this is where she should be.
A/N: Hey guys! So finally! I managed to get her back :D Hopefully I can get an explanation out of her in the next chapter. Tsubomi deserves to know what happened right? Right. Okay so I'll update as soon as I can. Leave me some reviews so I know what you guys are thinking about it. :) See you soon!
