Part 1, Chapter 5 - Mai and Tate!
Mikoto and Mai were walking back to Natsuki, who was waiting for them. But a little boy stopped them after running up in front of them and standing there with a blush on his face. Mai pursed her lips together in frustration and huffed. Turning to the smaller girl beside her, she pat the girl's head and smiled, "Mikoto, go to Natsuki and say Hi to her for me! Meet her and say your name!" she said.
Mikoto grinned and nodded quickly, "Gots cha, Mai me love!" she said, nodding again and running towards the bluenette on the other side of the field.
Turning towards to young boy, Mai puffed out her cheeks at the boy, "What do you want?" she asked accusingly.
The boy grinned at her and held out his hand, "I'm Tate Yuuichi! I wanted to introduce myself!" he said happily.
Those words instantly brightened Mai's mood. "Oh, okay! I'm Mai Tokiha," Mai said, shaking the Tate's hand and grinning back at the boy, "but then why is your face all pink?"
"Oh my daddy told me about this!" the boy said, looking up like he was thinking about something, "Oh yea! My daddy said it means that I like a girl! But he also said I can't like a boy, or I won't be his son anymore."
"No way! My mommy said I can only like girls, too!" Mai said, gaping at the boy.
He looked back at her with a confused face and raised his brows, "You mean that old lady you were with before?" he asked
Mai almost nodded, but instead shook her head, "No, my younger mommy. I call her Mom instead of Mommy and she's like 5 years younger than my Mommy!"
"Woah!" Tate yelled, looking at her with shiny eyes, "You have two Moms?! And one's really young?"
"Yea! And she's really pretty too! Oh hey, if you like a guy and you can't be your dads son anymore... does that make you his girl?" Mai asked, completely curious to the boy.
He gasped and shook his spiky brown hair around, "I don't wanna be a girl!!"
Mai grinned at him and nodded, putting a hand on his shoulder, "It's okay! If you don't wanna be a girl, than you can like me as long as you want!"
"Wow, thanks Mai!" Tate grinned.
Mai looked over his shoulder in time to see Mikoto stomp on another boy's foot, Natsuki cheering her on, and the boy falling to the ground in pain. Her eyes widened for a bit before she looked back to the boy in front of her, "Sorry I have to go! My best friend and my other friend are being mean!"
"Oh, can I come?" Tate asked, looking excited.
Looking again and seeing Mikoto up in the tree and the boy swinging a stick at her, with Natsuki getting ready to tackle him to the ground. "No... I got to go now..." she said, running off in her friend's direction.
Tate shrugged and started walking towards the build, talking to himself, "As long as I like her, I won't be a girl! And she has two moms, it's so cool! I bet when she grows but, she'll marry a mommy too!"
Me: You better believe it small Tate... like her as long as you want, nothing will happen...
Nao: ...You're creepy when it comes to Mikoto's love
Me: :3
