Sorry for the delay guys, March was...well...fun, got invited a couple of times to a friend's place to play Metal Gear Rising on Revengeance mode, frustrating, yet, rewarding when we finished it, that was the most reason I can give as I solely thought up battle tactics towards the game. Ahehehe
Luka awoke from her sleep hurriedly, cold sweat covered her as she breathed quickly to calm herself down, her slumber was boggled with a nightmare, one that she recognizes all too clearly. She sat up slowly, her hands clutching her face, wiping away the cold sweat, then calming herself afterwards as she looked up and examined her surroundings.
Clearly, she was in the infirmary, she scanned the area to find a clock, she did and she was surprised that school was already done for the day.
"Damn... I was out for that long?" Luka asked herself. "Then again...since those nightmares are always plaguing me...I guess I haven't..." Luka swung her legs off the bed and was surprised she found her school shoes at the right side of the bed, slipped them on and stood up, then stretched afterwards.
Luka walked out of the curtain, then the door opened, it was the school nurse, IA, who nodded at her and beamed Luka a smile, confirming that her patient was all and well.
"I have to go now IA-san, thank you for letting me rest in the infirmary." Luka bowed and gave her thanks, before she could put a hand on the door, IA caught her attention.
"Ah, Lulu-chan, before you go, do you mind if you get your classmate's bag here? The classroom's will be locked soon, and it'd be a shame if she went home without her belongings." IA clapped her hands together and made a requesting gesture to Luka, and she's also fond of giving nicknames to her students.
"Whose belongings will I take from the classroom, IA-san?" Luka asked, she didn't mind the nickname given to her by the school nurse.
"Ah! Let me see, it's Hatsune-san's belongings, if you may please, Lulu-chan, I'd be grateful." IA put down her clipboard and looked at Luka, who only stood there in shock. Before IA could ask Luka what was wrong, Luka ran back and checked the beds in a hurry, lo and behold, she found Miku stirring to wake up on her first try.
"Mi-..Hatsune-san..." Luka stared at Miku, Miku yawned and stretched, only to stop halfway, noticing a pair of eyes on her, she looked up and was also surprised on whose lenses they belonged to, Luka.
"Oh, L-Luka...hello there." Miku cheerily replied, but, her tone was off, Luka noticed it, she was surprised that Miku was already calling Luka on a first name basis, even though they haven't known each other well that much.
"Oh, good timing, Micchan, you woke up at the right time, I was about to get Lulu-chan to get your belongings, but, since you woke up, why don't the two of you get your things instead and go home together?" IA again, clapped her hands and beamed a smile at the two of her students.
"Uhmm...okay miss..." Miku's words trailed off, not knowing the name of their school nurse yet.
"You can call me IA, or any cute nickname that you so desire, just don't be giving me a weird one, I wouldn't know if you're addressing me or not, okay?" IA held up her right index finger to make a point, her smile was still on her features.
"Yes Icchan!" Miku beamed. IA's personality is cute and fluffy that she can't help but smile. Miku looked at Luka, who offered her hand to help Miku out of the bed. Miku held hers out, but before their hands made contact, she hesitated, she remembered what happened that morning.
"What's wrong?" Luka asked, Miku still hesitated and thought to herself, what if she passes out again? What happens after that? Miku mentally shrugged off those negative thoughts and confidently looked at Luka in the eyes.
Luka looked at teal orbs, strangely enough, nothing happened, Luka still held her hand out, hoping that Miku takes it. After a few silent seconds that seemed like eternity for the two, IA broke the tension. "Ara, Micchan, how long are you going to hold your hand out like that? Not going to take Lulu-chan's hand so the two of you can be on your way? It's getting a bit late." IA chuckled, her chin now on her palms, watching her two students who were in their own world, she was also at Miku's bedside, opposite of Luka.
"AHH! I'm sorry!" Miku just blurted out and took Luka's hand. Luka just smiled at Miku as she helped the cyan-haired girl out of the bed. Much to Miku's expectations, nothing happened at all, and holding Luka's hand, made it seem like they've known each other like friends that became more than that.
Miku felt warm inside, despite holding the hand of a classmate that she had just met, not only that, she felt like butterflies are inside her stomach, flying freely and a blush then crept up towards her face, enjoying the moment.
"...-san...Hatsune-san?" Luka looked at Miku questioningly, same time snapping her out of her daydream.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I spaced out for the moment, let's get going then." Miku skipped along, with Luka in tow as their hands are still connected by them holding each other's.
"Odd, the strange occurrence didn't happen anymore, and it's just once, could it really be her? I should keep close watch and just see what happens." Luka thought to herself, not letting any word out, she watched Miku intently, eyeing her while not giving off the feeling that she was really staring at the cyan-haired girl.
As they arrived at the classroom, Luka slid the door open, luckily, they weren't locked out yet, the two ladies walked over to their seats and found their belongings are on their tables, neatly packed and ready to be just taken off.
The pair looked at the content of their bags, Miku finished checking hers and closed it silently, she looked over to her left to see Luka still not finished. Miku just kept looking at Luka, and how the scenery around her just flows by like running water. A blush crept to Miku's face as she stared longer at the pinkette. Her heart was pounding out loud, and her breathing were short and quick, yet, silent.
Luka finished checking her bag for her notebooks and other stuffs and closed it, she found Miku staring at her with a flushed expression, her eyes are half-lidded with desire and her breathing was shallow, as she watched Miku's uniform rise and fall with each breath that she took. Miku took small steps forward towards Luka, as the pinkette slowly made her way back, the surroundings betraying her as her back hit the window.
Miku held her arms out and latched onto Luka, hugging her, this didn't surprise Luka one bit as she just looked onto Miku with guiding and understanding eyes, she knew that she'd be like this towards her and her alone.
"Luka..." Miku stated as she looked up to the pinkette with pleading eyes, she closed her eyes and puckered her lips as she stood tiptoed to kiss Luka.
Luka sighed as she pushed Miku away gently, it was happening all too quickly, Luka will need an explanation for this. Miku was startled as she was gently pushed away, Luka supported Miku so she won't fall off balance as Luka found Miku's face approaching hers.
"Uhmm...Luka?" Miku asked and Luka just looked at her. "W-what are you doing? Why are you holding me?"
"Oh...uhhh...damn...You were about to look out the window and you suddenly lurched forward for no reason, I caught you and just slowly pulled you away from me, is all." Luka managed to squirm away from that one, hoping Miku would buy it.
"I...I see...thanks..." Miku looked at the ground and just stared at it. Luka just stood there, her arms are still on Miku's shoulders, gently clamped on Miku. "Umm...if you mind, I'd like to be released from your arms." Miku shyly started as a light blush crept up to her, of course Luka didn't see it.
Realizing that she still had her hands on Miku, Luka slowly released her hands from Miku and let it fall to her sides, she let out an exasperated breath, this caught Miku's attention who still had a light blush across her face.
"Let's go home now, shall we?" Luka suggested as she took her bag and gestured for Miku to do the same.
"Agreed."
The two made their way out of the classroom and onto the ground floor, changed their shoes and made their way towards the school gates and bid farewell.
"Well Hatsune-san, I'll be on my way now, I hope you're feeling better now and wouldn't need further assistance?" Luka inquired before she headed off.
"I'm okay now, thanks for your concern, I'll see to it that I'll at least make it home before I collapse again, ahaha." Miku casually joked, hoping it'll earn a giggle from Luka, she looked at her and earned herself a gentle smile instead.
"I see, well, if there's nothing more, I'll take my leave now, I'll see you tomorrow Hatsune-san." Luka waved at Miku and made her way out of school grounds.
"Luka...Just why do I feel this way towards you...We've only met today and barely know each other, so, why do I feel a sense of longing for you, to be together with you, I'm so confused...Luka..." Miku thought to herself as she went her way towards her house.
"It's all beginning too fast, I hope that Miku can fully understand on her own, I just can't bear anymore delays, but, if I just blindly jump in, consequences will be severe, and I don't want that. Time to think up of a plan to help me out of this." Luka thought to herself as she opened her eyes, it glowed for a blink before it returned to its normal state.
