The Lone Muse: Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I don't own Love Live!
Tsubasa and I stayed in the park until well after sunset. Unenthusiastically, we decided it was probably time to get going. We got up and packed our stuff, and left the clearing. Standing under a light pole, I turned towards Tsubasa.
"Well…I guess I should be getting home now…" I said, frowning. "I had a lot of fun today…I'll call you tomorrow, okay?" I really don't want this day to end…
Tsubasa smiled at me, and took my hand. "I'll…walk you home. Is that alright?" She asked me, blushing slightly.
My frown quickly vanished. I grinned at her, and nodded. She returned my grinned, and we started walking towards my house. As we walked, I noticed how cold it had gotten. Tsubasa rested her head on my shoulder, and I could feel her shivering. Slowly, I reached around her shoulders and pulled her closer to me, trying to warm her up. She responded by wrapping her arm around my waist. We walked the rest of the way to my house like that, my arm around her shoulder and her arm around my waist. When we came within sight of my house, we reluctantly let go of each other. When we reached my front door, we both stood there, not quite sure of what to do next. I could feel the awkward silence start to build, so I did the only thing I could think of. I leaned forward and kissed Tsubasa. She recovered quickly from the surprise, and returned the kiss almost immediately. I felt like I was flying. Remembering that we weren't somewhere private, and could be seen by someone, I pulled away. Tsubasa's face was bright red, and I knew mine was too.
"I had f-fun, Honoka. I'll call you later. Bye!" She said, wrapping me in a hug before she turned and jogged down the street.
I stood on the doorstep, watching her leave. I held my hand to my lips, stunned. I waited until Tsubasa had disappeared from sight, then I turned and went inside.
"I'm home!" I called, as it wasn't too late.
Yukiho walked out of the kitchen and looked at me. "Have fun today?" She asked, with a knowing smile on her face.
I looked at her quizzically. "…Yeah…why?" I answered, hesitantly.
She giggled and shook her head. "No reason."
I shrugged and walked past her towards my room. I set my stuff down on the floor and flopped onto my bed. I pulled my phone out, and saw I had a message from Tsubasa.
"Today was amazing! Maybe do something tomorrow? Good night 3"
I smiled, before typing out my response.
"Totally! Good night! :)"
I closed my phone, and rolled over, closing my eyes. All the excitement of the day must have been more exhausting than I thought, because I was asleep within minutes.
I peeked around the corner into Honoka's room, and saw her sleeping quietly on her bed, a faint smile on her lips. Seeing her like this, I smiled a little bit myself. It's good that she's happy now. She was really upset after the whole incident with Muse. I tiptoed into her room, and covered her with a blanket. I turned out the light, and shut her door softly. I wonder what Muse will think… I thought to myself as I stood outside her door. Arisa said she wouldn't tell anybody, but her sister IS a member of Muse…I hope she keeps it to herself…Honoka obviously wanted to keep this a secret, so it wouldn't be right to tell anyone what we saw…
"Good night, sis. I'll keep your secret. I promise." I whispered, before heading to bed myself.
