The Lone Muse: Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I don't own Love Live!
After we left my house, Tsubasa and I stopped by a convenience store to pick up some picnic supplies and food. We grabbed some sandwiches and a picnic blanket, and headed for the park. As we walked, Tsubasa snaked her arm through mine once again. I had gotten used to it by now, so I managed not to blush. I looked over at her, and saw that she was smiling contentedly. She looks…really happy. I squeezed her arm lightly, causing her to look at me. I smiled at her as we made eye contact, and she smiled back. There wasn't really anything to say, so we walked on in a peaceful silence.
When we arrived at the park, we found a small clearing in the trees, where we set out our blanket. I got out the sandwiches and we sat and ate. We talked about lots of things, our conversation never lagged for a second. After we finished eating, we laid down, side by side, on the blanket to watch the sky. I noticed that every time Tsubasa would point out a cloud that she thought looked like something, that she would scoot ever so slightly closer to me. I was curious to see how close she would get, so I didn't say anything. My patience was rewarded, when a little while later, Tsubasa pointed out another cloud, and I felt my side grow warm. I looked over at Tsubasa, and found myself staring into her green eyes, our faces only inches apart.
When Honoka looked into my eyes, I was left speechless. Her eyes…are breathtaking…so beautiful… We just laid there, staring into each other's eyes, not wanting to ruin the moment by speaking. Slowly, I reached down and took her hand in mine. Her only response was a tender smile, which I returned. The peacefulness of the clearing and the warmth of Honoka's body cleared away the last of the nagging doubts in my mind. I decided…that it was time.
"Hey…Honoka?"
"Tsubasa? What's up?" Honoka asked me.
I took a deep breath. "Honoka… I really, really…like you. I think you're super funny…super cute…" I trailed off, as the embarrassment started to catch up. I had slowly looked away as I talked, so I looked back at Honoka, to see her reaction. She was smiling widely, and had tears in the corners of her eyes. My eyes widened. "Honoka? Are you alright?" I asked her.
She nodded, and squeezed my hand.
"…You're so selfless, and always put other people before you…you're just an awesome person to be around. I guess…what I'm trying to say is…I really like you, and I want to be around you." I looked her in the eyes. "Honoka…will you…go out with me?"
I was stunned. I didn't know what to say. I can't believe Tsubasa just…confessed…to me. I'm so happy…I don't know what to do. As I sat there, thinking to myself, Tsubasa was looking at me uncertainly. It didn't take me long to find my answer for her. Blushing furiously, I leaned forward, and pressed my lips to hers. Tsubasa froze for a heartbeat, and returned the kiss. I was ecstatic. I held the kiss for a few seconds, and then I pulled away slowly. "Tsubasa…of course I will." I said, smiling. Her eyes sparkled, as a huge grin crept onto her face. She pressed her forehead against mine, and looked into my eyes once again.
"Thank you…Honoka. You have…no idea how happy I am." She said.
I smiled at her, but I was shaking my head in my mind. No, Tsubasa…thank you.
Unknown to us, we were not alone in the clearing. Hiding behind a tree were two excited soon-to-be highschoolers.
"Oh…my…gosh…Yukiho. You were right! Your sister…and Kira Tsubasa from A-RISE!" The blond one whispered to her friend.
The other one just nodded, her eyes fixed on her sister…and her new…girlfriend.
