Honoka: Heyo! So Kitten-chan does not own love live!
The meeting went like usual, Nozomi, Kotori, and Anju teasing well the others were either blushing or in Maki and Hanayo's case talking while Maki reassured Hanayo that their friends were all just teasing idiots. After the meeting Nozomi asked Umi to meet her in the cafe on the first floor of the school, to which Umi agreed to, curious as to what Nozomi wanted to speak with her about.
"So Nozomi? What did you need?" Umi asked, taking a sip of her water.
"Well Umi-chan, are you aware the you have a crush on Kotori-chan?"
"NOZOMI! WHAT THE HELL?!" Umi screened, face steaming with embarrassment.
"So it's true, well then do you have a plan to confess?" Umi looked away, giving up in trying to lie to Nozomi.
"W-W-W-Well n-n-no, isn't it shameless for two girls too love each other?"
"Umi-chan, look at me," Nozomi lightly demand.
"Loving someone, especially a girl, is not shameless, it's a wonderful thing actually,"
"Nozomi?"
"Yes Umi-chan?"
"Sometimes you sound more like my older sister than my best friend... Wait a minute, that sounded weird forget it,"
"No Umi-chan! I'm never forgetting that!"
"Nozomi!" Umi whined.
"Now is that really how you should be talking to your big sister?"
"Nozomi! I'm two years older than you!" Nozomi laughed.
"Okay, okay, let's actually talk about Kotori-chan, my plan is for you to confess today, like take her to a nice dinner, then when you get back, then kiss the girl, it will be prefect,"
"B-B-But N-N-Nozomi! Why do I have to c-c-c-confess?! And why t-t-today?! What if she hates me for it?! Oh god Nozomi! We would never be friends a-a-again!" Umi ranted, Nozomi coming over and embracing Umi.
"Umi-chan, as you big sister I can guarantee Kotori-chan loves you back," Umi leaned into Nozomi at first, then realized what she said and jumped away from Nozomi.
"Wait Nozomi! You threw something weird in there!"
"Now now Umi-chan, but I'm serious Kotori-chan loves you so much I wouldn't be surprised if you two don't go all the way tonight," Umi blushed.
"N-N-No such thing will happen! Nozomi you are so shameless!"
"Alright, alright, Umi-chan I need to go, Eli-chan and I will be having dinner together, wish me luck, maybe if you confess your unbiological twin will too," Nozomi muttered the last part so quietly Umi wasn't sure she heard it right.
"What was that last part Nozomi?"
"Nothing! Good luck Umi-chan and remember, kiss the girl!"
"N-N-Nozomi!" Nozomi giggled as she went back to her dorm.
Line brake
Kotori was confused. Scratch that incredibly ridiculously confused. When Umi asked her if she minded going out for dinner, a full blown blush on her face, the confusion started, but she brushed it off thinking Nozomi or Maki had told her to do it. But now Umi was fidgeting in her chair, playing with her hair and looking everywhere but Kotori's face.
"Um... Umi-chan?"
"Uh... Yes Kotori?"
"Could you maybe, look me in the eye?"
"Oh s-s-sorry!" Umi snapped her head to look at Kotori, her blush increasing when she saw her long time crushes beautiful smile.
"Well was your food good Umi-chan?" Kotori asked, trying to hold a conversation with her childhood friend.
"Huh? Oh yes, it was delicious thank for asking, how about you Kotori?" It figures Umi-chan still has prefect manors despite being put on the spot, Kotori giggled mentally.
"It was fine thank you, but it was kind of hard to enjoy it when you looked like you had some major secret you weren't telling me that was really embarrassing,"
"W-W-What makes you think that?!"
"Well, um... Oh well I'll let you figure it out yourself okay Umi-chan? Let's just get home before too late," Kotori smiled as the two left the large building they had had their dinner in. Umi was nervous the whole car ride, which cause Kotori to be more curious and a little more worried, Umi-chan could be in a lot of trouble.
"So um Kotori?" Umi asked when the reached their dorm, Kotori taking off her heels and placing them in her room.
"Yes Umi-chan?" Umi froze, am I actually going through with this? Nozomi might punish me if I don't... But this is so shameless!
"N-N-Nozomi and I were talking,"
"Oh really? About what?" Kotori asked, sitting next to Umi on the couch.
"Oh... You know stuff..." Umi was a blushing mess.
"What kind of stuff?"
"W-W-Well like c-c-c-c-crushes... And stuff..." Umi found her fingers very interesting at the moment.
"Oh, so Umi-chan, do you have a c-crush?" Kotori's heart skipped a beat, she wasn't sure her heart would be able to handle the news of Umi liking someone. She loved Umi soooooo much, but was pretty much convinced Umi didn't like her back.
"O-O-O-Oh y-y-you know a girl," Umi managed.
"Umi-chan, I need more details then just that," Kotori laughed, trying to retain her personality so Umi wouldn't pick up on her about to break down mentality.
"Um... W-W-Well s-s-she's really p-p-pretty, a-a-and I've known her for a l-l-long time," Is she talking about Eli-chan? Kotori thought.
"A-and s-s-s-she l-l-l-li-liv-lives with me," Umi whispered. Kotori froze, did she hear that right, did Umi like her too, or was she just deluding herself.
"Umi-chan..." Kotori muttered, bringing Umi's face up to her own.
"I g-g-get it if you hate me Kotori, you know what I was being stupid, I-I-I" Kotori kissed Umi to shut her up.
"I like you too Umi-chan," Umi, for the second time that day, fainted.
