A/N: THOUGHT OF THIS WHILE ON AMAZON SO HERE.
It was the beginning of the summer for the two high schoolers. They were currently enjoying the free time that they had with each other in Nozomi's apartment. The two girls were currently laying on Nozomi's bed, talking about whatever came to mind with their summer homework forget on the table next to them when Eli told the twin tailed girl of some additional plans on the break.
"Russia?" Nozomi asked as she stared at the blonde's eyes before her.
"Yeah… My grandmother asked for me to come and visit so that I could pick up a few things as well as take some things over there for her," Eli intertwined their fingers as she spoke, turning towards Nozomi with a smile as she continued, "I'm only going over for a week so we'll still be able to hang out for the rest of vacation when I return."
"How long has it been since you last saw your grandmother?" Nozomi asked as she stared at the blonde. Eli's gaze looked past Nozomi and towards the wall, thinking about the time that's passed since she last saw the white landscape that surrounded her grandmother's home.
"A long time now… I think maybe a few weeks before I left for Japan was when I last saw her." Eli answered, a melancholy looks taking over her eyes. Eli felt her hand being squeezed, snapping her out of her thoughts and turning towards Nozomi.
"You should make sure to take the time to be with her. Being with your loved ones is important." Nozomi said, a bright look in her eyes at the prospect of having Eli get back in contact with someone she loved. Eli couldn't help but think about what Nozomi said in a different light than what was meant. The twin tailed girl wasn't one to talk about her family often but she knew that Nozomi wished to spend time with her family as well. Eli sat up, gaining Nozomi's attention when she took back her arm to get up.
"Elichi? What are you doing?" Nozomi asked when she saw that Eli was apparently taking something off of her neck. Eli unhooked the clasp from her cherished necklace, the chain pooling in her hand with the cross landing right on top. She held it from the clasp again as she turned towards Nozomi.
"Nozomi, can you turn around?" She asked, Nozomi was confused but did so nonetheless. Eli moved the hair that was on Nozomi's neck, making the girl stiffen from the unexpected contact but remained still. Eli moved her arm around Nozomi's neck and put the necklace on her, hugging her from behind when she finished. Nozomi looked down to see what was put on her, seeing the cross on her neck.
"E-Elichi, this is your necklace… Why did you put this on me?"
"To seal a promise." Eli put her head on Nozomi's shoulder and winked at her, making the girl uncharacteristically blush.
"Hold on to it for me while I'm gone. When I come back, we'll go out somewhere and you can hand it back to me then. After all, being with your loved ones is important."
