36 Drabbles

34: Cell Phone

Ryuzaki Sakuno was always a timid, shy person. Over the years, she had grown more mature and outgoing, but the adorable traits she developed as a child would always remain with her no matter how old she got and how much she changed. Of course, there would always be spontaneous bouts of boldness that Sakuno would have, being a teenager with raging hormones. Especially a teenager with an overly amorous boyfriend and a much too wild best friend. And a group of senpai that she thought lived to tease her and her boyfriend, and one of her male friends that wasn't afraid to shout everything she said (and everything he said) to the entire world and beyond.

Sakuno was surprised she hasn't gone insane yet.


"I can't believe you're making me do this, Tomo-chan." Sakuno moaned, burying her face in her hands as she blushed deeply. Tomoka cackled, prancing around Sakuno's room as she shoved furniture this way and that, closing curtains only to open them again and mutter under her breath, "we want more light here." Sakuno just watched her, pulling the frilly skirt a little further down to avoid showing Tomoka/the invisible paparazzi in her room her pink knickers.

"Sakuno-chan, you really have to let loose a little! Ryoma-sama has always been keeping you on the edge, right? Now you have to keep him on the edge!" Tomoka said, sounding (as usual) like everything she said was right. Sakuno fidgeted a little, unused to her unbound chocolate locks brushing against the bare skin of her back. It tickled, and she would always have to reach back to brush them away. It wasn't long until Sakuno just draped all her long hair over one shoulder, jumping a little when Tomoka cried, "great idea Sakuno-chan!" The shy girl blushed, gingerly sitting on the edge of her bed as she watched Tomoka "work her magic".

"But, Tomo-chan, do we really have to go about it like… like this?!"

Tomoka looked over, thinking what she had dressed Sakuno in was perfect for her little photo shoot. Her best friend was wearing the cutest Lolita-inspired dress. The top was a white, cap-sleeved blouse under a pure black corset, matched with a tutu-inspired pink skirt with frills on the hem. The back of the top dipped a little low, showing Sakuno's bare back, and the skirt was very short, showing Sakuno's toned legs from years of tennis practice. She didn't wear any shoes (I mean, they were inside of her house…), but she wore black stockings (slightly see-through) attached to a garter belt. The place where the stockings and the garter belt met was lower on the body than usual, and the skirt was so short you could see where the stockings ended and where the belt began (and a little peek of the bare smooth skin shown afterwards). The best part was, Sakuno also wore a cute pink cat-ears hair band, and had a black tail on her dress!

I'm sure you know what this particular idea stemmed from… If only Sakuno could keep her mouth shut.

"Right then!" Tomoka exclaimed, grabbing Sakuno's hand and plopping her on the various blankets and bed sheets that littered the floor. There were some of Sakuno's favourite stuffed animals there, and some plain white pillows for her to lean on. A window was open to let light in from the right, out of the camera shot but close enough to let the light shine through. Her mirror was moved to the other side of the room to prevent Tomoka and the camera from being reflected on it. "Sakuno, strike a pose!" Sakuno just sat primly on the blankets, a little unsure of what to do. Tomoka let out a frustrated huff, shaking her head. This was going to be almost impossible.

And she was right, as always.


Ryoma was pleasantly surprised one day when he was playing tennis with his senpai-tachi (again), and his cell phone started to ring. He took a sip of his ponta, sat down on the bench and pulled out his phone. Ryoma ignored Momoshiro's calls of "lovebirds sending each other text messages" and Kikumaru's, "ochibi's growing up!" to focus on the picture-text-message his girlfriend sent him. He was even more pleasantly surprised to open said text-message and find a picture of his girlfriend posing seductively in the frame… like a cat, with ears and tail and all.

Damn… that woman was so infuriating sometimes.

"Ochibi? Where are you going? Ochibi!"

I'm sure all of you can guess where he went.


A/N Thirty-fourth drabble out! Gosh, we're getting so close to the deadline. Please stick with me until then! Only two more to go!

My inspiration for this chapter came from a friend who helped with the sixth and thirteenth drabbles. I modified it to my liking, but generally his idea was Sakuno sending some embarrassing text message to Ryoma only for Ryoma to lose his cell phone. I only kept the first part, with the embarrassing text/picture. I think I've abused Sakuno enough (at least until the last drabble...)

Review for candy apples!
