AN: This chapter doesn't have much comedy in it. It has Ui/Jun, though. 8D!
Chapter 2: Sloth
"...a week. It's been a week since Yui-senpai stole my first kiss..." Azusa thought to herself, softly touching her lips with the tips of her fingers as she walked towards her said senpai's home.
Today was the day she promised Yui that she would sleep over at her house.
At first she had refused to go because she thought it would be very uncomfortable, sleeping in her senpai's house just a few days after she had kissed her, but was convinced, "Or tricked" , she mused, to go because Yui had told her that she needed some help with the guitar. After a few encouragements by Ui ,who still couldn't believe what her sister did, Azusa agreed and ended up going.
She didn't have a cold anymore, and she made sure that there would be no cakes involved. Plus, Jun would be going, so why not?
She sighed to herself as spotted her senpai's house from a distance."Please let nothing out of the ordinary happen." She prayed to the lords. Poor little Azusa was still unsure if she made the right decision, but there was no backing out now.
The rhythm guitarist continued to walk towards Yui's house, and when she arrived at the front door, she checked herself if she looked okay. After seeing that everything seemed in place, she rang the doorbell.
Azusa waited for a few moments, but then when no one answered, she rang it again. It was only nine in the morning, and it was a Saturday, so she expected her senpai to be asleep. Her face turned a light pink when she realized that she would be sleeping with Yui tonight. "W-what am I thinking!" She scolded herself.
Thankfully her thoughts were interrupted by the door opening, revealing Jun. "Oh, Azusa! Sup?" The girl greeted, stepping aside and letting her friend in.
"Hello, Jun." Azusa said, smiling at her friend as she entered the house. She placed her things down so she could take her shoes off and change into slippers. Jun walked ahead of her, entering the living room. Once Azusa was wearing the readied slippers, she grabbed her bag and proceeded to the living room. "Why am I acting like I live here? Wasn't I just nervous about being here awhile ago...?" She asked herself. Doing all this felt so...natural. It sent a shudder down her spine.
"Where's Ui?" She asked, noticing the girl wasn't there.
"Just a moment." Jun said as she turned around, facing the kitchen. "UI! AZUSA'S HERE!" She shouted.
In a few seconds, Ui walked into the room wearing an apron. "Ohayo, Azusa-chan" Ui said, hugging the girl.
"Ohayo, Ui." Azusa smiled at the younger Hirasawa.
Ui smiled back at her friend before facing Jun when she noticed something. "Ah, Jun-chan. You have some chocolate on your face." Ui said, giggling.
"I do? Where?" She asked, touching her face to try and locate the said chocolate.
"Wait. Here, let me do it" she said, cupping Jun's cheek with one hand to stop the girl from moving her head. Jun blushed as she felt Ui remove the chocolate from her face with her sleeve.
"T-thanks." Jun said, grinning.
Azusa smiled at the exchange between her two friends. She knew Jun had a crush on Ui, and she also knew that Ui had hidden feelings for Jun. It was cute, seeing them interact. But then her smile quickly turned into a frown when she noticed something. Ui was wearing an apron, and Jun had chocolate on her face. "Wait..does that mean..." Azusa suddenly became tense
"Ui, please tell me you're not making cake." Azusa said, making it sound like cake was something deadly. "No no no ... anything but cake. If there's cake then maybe... but didn't I tell you not to... what if senpai does that aga-" Her thoughts were cut short when she heard her friends laugh.
"Azusa's getting all nervous...how cute~" Jun said, grinning. "Yui-senpai ruined cakes for you, didn't she?"
Hearing this, Azusa glared at Ui who gave her an apologetic smile in return. "I couldn't resist telling her...gomen ne, Azusa-chan."
Azusa just sighed, her face turning a light shade of red. "Just don't let it spread any more, okay?" She could never get mad at her friends. She just didn't have it in her.
The two girls nodded, hugging their embarrassed little friend.
After their little group hug, Azusa cleared her throat, her face returning to it's normal color. "A-anyways, where's Yui-senpai?"
"Oh, she's upstairs, still sleeping. Should I go wake her up for you?" Ui asked.
Azusa shook her head. "It's okay, I'll do it." She said.
"If you say so," Ui said. "Well, i'll be going back to the kitchen. Please tell onee-san that she should eat breakfast already."
"Okay." Azusa replied as she watched Ui and Jun walk back into the kitchen.
After getting Muttan, Azusa walked up the stairs leading to her senpai's room. She started feeling butterflies in her stomach. "I-it's not like I haven't been here before..." She sighed. Really, after what happened that day, Azusa started feeling weird when around her senpai. She didn't know why, though.
She sighed again as she stopped in front of her senpai's door. After taking a deep breath, she knocked three times, signaling her entrance.
"Y-Yui-senpai, i'm coming in." Azusa said, slowly opening the door.
She saw Yui on her bed, sleeping. Azusa could hear her lightly snoring. "S-should I really wake her up...? She looks like she's having such a nice sleep." Azusa thought.
Then, she shook her head and softly slapped her face two times. "No. I came here to practice, and we will practice." She puffed her chest out, nodding.
She put her guitar down and marched toward her senpai, stopping right in front of her sleeping body. Then, right as she was going to wake her up, all of a sudden her confidence disappeared.
"A-Ah... Y-Yui-senpai..." She said, lightly shaking the lead guitarist. When she got no reply, she tried again.
"Nn...five more minutes, Ui..." The girl said
"I'm not Ui... I'm Azusa. Wake up, senpai..."
Finally she got a reply, but what she heard surprised her.
"Nn... Azunyaaan, I looove you~" Yui said, though she was obviously still half-asleep
The kitten-like kouhai's eyes widened, her face turning a deep shade of red. "E-eh? S-senpai, W-What are you talking about?"
Suddenly, Yui's hands shot up from under the blankets, grabbing Azusa and pulling the poor little girl into the bed with her. Once she had Azusa on top of her, she nuzzled the little girl affectionately. "Azunyan's so soft~" She said.
Azusa froze, despite her body temperature rising rapidly.
Her mind told her to get out of there, but her body wouldn't follow.
"W-w-why wont my body move! A-ah—help!" She tried saying, but nothing would come out of her mouth.
The room started feeling very hot. She was feeling weird again, and she didn't like it. Finally, after what seemed to be forever, Azusa could feel her body move again and she immediately started struggling out of Yui's hold.
When she was finally released by her senpai's death-hold of love, she fell down onto the floor with a thump.
Yui slowly sat up, rubbing her eye's. She looked like a complete mess; her hair was sticking out in every direction, her clothes were ruffled and she had some drool on her face.
Azusa shot up, fixing herself. Her face was still red, so she looked to the side in an attempt to hide it. "S-senpai! G-get up already. You should eat so we could practice..." I sound so lame...
Yui looked at her, a cute grin forming on her face. "I don't want practice...I want Azunyan~" She reached out to hug the girl, but Azusa quickly backed away. Don't want to practice..? Isn't this what she was here for?
"P-Please go downstairs when you've fixed yourself already." She said, rushing out of the room and heading down the stairs.
Yui blinked several times, wondering why Azusa had reacted like that. She stood up, stretched then proceeded to the bathroom to go fix herself up.
"I knew I shouldn't have gone here! " Azusa thought to herself as she rushed down the stairs. She headed into the kitchen and immediately regretted it. She felt her face heat up as she turned around and practically ran out of the area into the safety of the living room.
She placed her hand on the couch to steady herself. "Ui-chan and J-Jun-chan..."
She sighed as she sat down, wiping the beads of sweat that were starting to form on her forehead. "I guess i'll just wait for Yui-senpai..."
It took Yui thirty minutes to get ready, and it was already eleven when she went down. Azusa was still sitting down on the couch, deep in thought.
She squeaked when she felt a big weight on her shoulders, literally.
"A~zu~nyan!" Yui said, glomping the girl.
"Y-Yui-senpai!" Azusa said, turning her head to look at the girl. Yui seemed to look a lot better now. Her hair was fixed and her clothes looked neat.
"Where's Uiii? I'm hungry…" The older girl whined.
At the mention of her best friend's name, Azusa blushed as she remembered what she just saw. "S-she's in the k-kitchen with Jun-chan…"
"Oh, okay. Let's go and eat!" She said happily, grabbing Azusa's hand and leading her to the dining area.
When they passed by the kitchen, they saw Ui pulling something out of the microwave.
"Ui~" Yui walked to her little sister, hugging her from the back.
Ui blushed, almost dropping her plate. "O-Onee-san, don't surprise me like that." She said, turning around when Yui let go of her.
"Are you hungry?" Ui asked
Yui nodded, smiling that goofy smile of hers while rubbing the back of her head. "Ehehe…"
"Okay then, head on to the dining area, I'll bring out the food." She smiled
"Hai~" Yui said as she walked to the dining area.
"Do you need any help?" Azusa offered, "Wait, where's Jun?"
Ui's faced turned red, then she looked down to avoid eye contact with her friend. "S-she's in the bathroom. You go on ahead and stay with onee-san, I'll be fine."
Azusa nodded, leaving her suspiciously-acting friend be.
When she entered the dining area, she found Yui asleep.
"Sleeping again…?" She sighed. She decided that she'd just wait until the food gets here before she'd wake her senpai up.
Once the food did arrive, Yui instantly woke up and ate. It took her thirty minutes to eat, so it was already ten in the morning when they went back up to Yui's room to practice.
"F-finally...we get to do what I went here for." She thought to herself as she brought out her muttan.
Yui was sitting on her bed, Gitah already out, and was playing some minor scales.
Azusa smiled as she heard her senpai practice. She walked over to her, sitting next to the brunette.
"Okay, so...what do you wanted to pra—"
"Azunyan, i'm sleepy." Yui interrupted.
Azusa looked at her, confused. "B-but Senpai! We haven't even started!".
"But Azunyaaaan...i'm really sleepy..." Yui said with a pout, she put Gitah down and wrapped her arms around the younger girl's waist, pulling her close. "Can we just cuddle instead~?" She asked innocently.
Azusa blushed, "Y-Yui-senpai! L-let go of me...you said you needed help with the guitar."
"Eeeehhh... I don't feel like playing with Gitah right now..." She rubbed her face against her kouhai's.
Azusa tried pushing Yui away, but the girl just wouldn't budge. "Senpai, I came here so I could help you with the guitar. Not to c-cuddle." Her voice was starting to become serious.
Yui pouted again and hugged the girl tighter. "We have the whole day, Azunyan! Practice can wait 'til later. Come oooon, Azunyaaaaaan~"
Azusa twitched. This was really getting on her nerves.
"Fine…" She said. There was no use in getting herself mad, and Yui was right. There was still a lot of time anyway.
"YAY!" Yui said, jumping. She put Gitah in her stand while Azusa placed Muttan inside his case.
The rest of the day went by pretty fast. They talked, played some games and watched TV. Before she knew it, it was already four in the afternoon.
When they were back in Yui's room, Azusa brought out Muttan once more and told Yui to bring out Gitah. After being persuaded several times, she brought him out and sat down on her bed.
"Okay…so, what is it you needed help with?" She asked.
"…can we do this tomorrow? I'm tired…" Yui asked, giving Azusa the puppy dog look.
"Senpai! We already postponed awhile ago's practice… we need to do this now."
"But it's such a hassle…"
"Yui!"
"A hug from Yui-sama will help convince you~" She said as she wrapped her arms around her kouhai.
Azusa clenched her fists. She went through so much emotional trouble for Yui, and this is how she acts? Such a simple thing like deciding to go here was like hell for her, yet she decided to go for the sake of her senpai, and this is what she gets?
With everything that had happened until now, Azusa finally snapped.
"YUI, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"
...To be continued.
AN: I hope it wasn't that crappy. While I was in the middle of writing that, I suddenly started thinking of something else, so I somewhat lost interest in this one and rushed it. Ehehe..I promise the next chapter will be better. ^^;
Oh, and what Azusa saw...I might write it as a separate fic. Ehehe..
~Thanks to Laura-senpai for beta-ing this chapter!
