Chapter Five

Tsubomi squeaked and jumped about a foot in the air as something tapped her foot. From across the table, a smirking Yaya was exerting all of her effort into not bursting out into an obnoxious fit of laughter. The annoyed tsundere scowled at her beloved sempai, resulting in a satisfied grin from the latter. Tsubomi stubbornly attempted to kick her back, only to jam her toe against the chair that Yaya was sitting in. She cringed and screeched a little bit, causing the rest of the girls at the dinner table to question her sanity.

Next to Yaya sat an extremely pink Miyuki. The reason for this redness was sitting to her right. Tamao was currently running her bare foot up and down the side of her girlfriend's ankle under the table. She wrapped her leg around Miyuki's, causing her to shiver. From across the table, Shizuma shot her an encouraging wink. Next to Tamao, Nagisa was stuffing her face with the dinner that the bluenette couple had prepared. Amane and Hikari had escaped earlier with their food and remained outside.

All of the sudden, Yaya's chair went soaring backwards as if it had been tipped. Her arms flailing the entire way down and she landed on the ground with a loud crash. Nagisa practically threw her food down as she attempted to jump to Yaya's aid, only to have Shizuma grab her arm and pull her back down. She shook her head silently and nodded to Tsubomi who looked like she was about to explode.

She flew out of her seat and straight for the wounded brunette on the ground in front of her. Yaya was in a fetal position clutching the back of her head. Her eyes were squeezed tight together.

"Y-Yaya-sempai! Yaya-sempai I-I didnt mean to! Im so sorry!" Tsubomi knelt down beside the pained girl, tears brimming in her eyes. She put her hand gently to Yaya's head. Her entire body was shaking violently.

Just then the back door opened and Hikari and Amane came in giggling. Hikari glanced around the room, saw Yaya on the ground, and immediately rushed over, practically pushing the distraught pinkette out of the way. She flung her arms around Yaya and landed in a crumpled heap next to her.

"Yaya-chan! What happened to you! Are you okay! Wha- Ahh!" Tsubomi shoved her back away from Yaya without even looking at the shocked blonde.

"Excuse you! I was kind of sitting here!" The tsundere's eyes turned feral. She was leaning possessively over Yaya, who had opened her eyes and was now looking up very confused at Tsubomi.

Naturally, Amane came and helped Hikari to her feet, all the while glaring coldly at the first year, who was unaware of the hole bearing into the back of her head.

"Come on Yaya-sempai...Let's get you upstairs...You need to lay down." Tsubomi looked over Yaya with worried eyes.

"Im 'kay. I jus needa lay here..." The brunette murmured groggily. Despite saying that, she attempted to sit up, using Tsubomi as support. Yaya leaned into her chest and haphazardly slung her arms around the pinkette's tiny waist, snuggling her face into the girl's body. Tsubomi instantly felt the blush creeping into her cheeks.

"Y-you really should come lay down. T-Tamao-chan? Nagisa-chan? Would either of you mind helping me to get her to the couch?" With that being said, the two nodded and rose to their feet to assist in moving the ditsy girl out of the dining room floor.

In the midst of this, Miyuki had begun to clear the table assisted by a very annoyed Shizuma. Though, when she realized the chance to nag her best friend about her newfound relationship, she perked up ever so slightly. Snatching an empty plate off the table, she scampered into the kitchen after the unsuspecting bluenette.

"So, Miyuki...What happened today that is so secret, that you cant even tell me, your very best friend? Something with a certain fourth year girl, I presume? By the way you've been giggling all afternoon something must have happened?" She raised an eyebrow at the blushing girl in question. Miyuki quickly looked away to hide her grin. She couldnt help but smile when she thought about her new girlfriend. Her girlfriend. Now that's something she hasnt been able to say since...well...ever, to be totally honest. It felt good. She finally had something good that was hers.

"Well!" Shizuma continued, prodding Miyuki in the ribs with her elbow. A smirk beginning to appear on her smug face. She had predicted this would happen. It was kind of a little gift she possessed. "Miyuki you can't hide this from me forever! I could just ask Nagisa to get Suzumi-san to spill. And you know she will."

"...Okay, Shizuma. Yes, Tamao-chan and I...she's my...we are...we are together. Are you satisfied? Now you know. Can we move on?" She didnt want to go into much detail on the subject. She had seen that look in Shizuma's eyes before, and she did not appreciate its current presence.

"No we can't just 'move on' with something like this! What happened? How did she ask you? Did you accept right away? Are you going to stay with her? When did she ask? Why arent you answering me!" Shizuma shook her overwhelmed best friend by the shoulders.

"Because you arent even breathing between sentences! Jeez! You dont need to know the specifics of my relationship. We only just decided to make this real. And yes, Im hoping to stay with her...isnt that the goal of every relationship? At least until graduation...Im still trying to figure out the situation with my family. Ive explained to her that this couldnt happen. But...I dont know Shizuma. She's...different. You would expect the younger girl to be more of the follower. But she completely took control of things...she asked me. She didnt care about my family. And...you were right before. When you said I needed someone stronger than me. I think she is that at the least. From what I can tell, she will be good for me. But then again...we all know how good I am at predicting such things. Im just going to let it play out and see where things end up." Did I really just tell Shizuma, of all people, that? Yeah she is my best friend but...that may have been the most dangerous thing Ive done this trip...

"...Miyuki-sama." A quiet voice from around the corner made the two jump. As they turned, Shizuma watched as Miyuki's face light into a sweet smile when she saw the girl standing in the doorway.

"Tamao-san, come in. We were just finishing up." Miyuki grinned at the embarrassed look on the young girl's face.

"A-are you sure? I can wait...Im sorry if I interrupted. I just..." She trailed off.

Miyuki wiped her hands on a dish towel next to the sink. "It's alright. Did you need something?" She crossed the room and placed a hand on Tamao's shoulder, turning her the opposite direction and walking towards the living room. She glanced over her shoulder at Shizuma, who was wearing a satisfied smirk as she listened to the voices as they faded out.

She looked at the ground as she thought for a moment, jumping when a pair of small arms enveloped her in a gentle embrace from behind. She exhaled slowly and let her face relax into a smile as she felt her Nagisa-chan rest her head against her back. After a few moments of silence and thought, she twisted around to face her red-haird love. She gazed down at her and sighed, taking Nagisa's face in her hands and placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "You're precious my adorable Nagisa-chan." She chuckled as her girlfriend's cheeks turned as red as her hair. Without another word, she entwined their fingers, and headed into the living room to join the rest of the house guests.

On the far side of the room, Tamao had her arms wrapped possessively around her girlfriend. Miyuki had one hand behind Tamao's back and the other resting lightly on the other girl's stomach. Tamao had pulled her down into an awkward position, until they both relaxed. Then they began to get more comfortable with it and grew to love it. Miyki's head was nestled beneath Tamao's shoulder and beside her chest. Which, caused her body to heat to unbearable temperatures when she noticed. Amane and Hikari had long since headed up to their room claiming to be tired, but everyone knew that meant otherwise.

"Tsu-bo-mi-chaaaaan, Im cold." Yaya crooned as she gazed up at the blushing girl who was currently cradling the senior's head in her lap. Yaya grinned and snuggled up closer to Tsubomi, who's blush was deepening by the second.

"Yaya-sempai...I dont think your head still hurts. I think you're just being a baka now." Tsubomi stated flatly, as she wrapped her arms around the brunette. She'd given up on the whole 'hate the baka' thing when she'd nearly knocked her unconscious at dinner.

"Maybe...But you love it." Yaya said with a wink at the junior. Normally, Tsubomi wouldve smacked her head for that comment. But not tonight. She didnt want to ruin this tonight. She just rolled her eyes and shook her head whispering over and over, "baka, baka, baka."

*Face Pillow* That was an awkward ending...sorry guys it's either extremely late or extremely early...I cant decide which. I got a bit lazy there at the end. Anyways, as always, I dont own SP or its characters and Reviews make my world go round :3
Thanks!
