"Come with me."

Before Honoka could even answer, Umi had grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the classroom. Kotori was left in her seat with a confused look as she saw her friends quickly leave. Umi led Honoka down the hall and up a few flight of stairs. Eventually, they ended up on the roof. Umi finally released Honoka's hand.

"Why are we up here, Umi-chan?" Honoka asked as she stepped onto the rooftop.

"To eat lunch, of course," Umi replied. She checked the stairs once more before closing the door behind her.

"But why here?"

"It's more private this way."

"Okay.. but I didn't get lunch yet."

"Don't worry, I have yours right here."

Honoka turned back to look at Umi, and finally noticed the bag in her hand. Honoka walked back up to Umi, looking at the bag. She saw the top of one of the bento boxes inside. Umi took a half step back. Honoka looked back up to Umi curiously, and noticed Umi's face was slightly red.

"Umi-chan? Are you okay? Your face is a little red."

"A-ah. I'm fine. Come on, let's eat."

Umi and Honoka took a seat as Umi took out the two bentos. There were a few sandwiches and onigiri in one bento. In the other was a few vegetables and chicken.

"Wow, this looks good," Honoka thought, looking at the bentos.

She grabbed one of the sandwiches and took a bite. Umi looked anxiously as she watched Honoka chew, and finally swallow.

"W-well..?" Umi asked nervously.

"Did you make all this?" Honoka asked.

Umi nodded slowly, getting more nervous.

Honoka broke a smile. "It's wonderful, Umi-chan!"

Umi let out a huge sigh of relief. "T-thanks. Don't do that again, Honoka-chan.."

Honoka tilted her head slightly. "Do what?"

"Don't make me nervous like that!"

"Eh? Why would Umi-chan be nervous?" A different smile touched Honoka's lips as an idea popped into her mind.

"B-because..." Umi looked down as she fiddled with her skirt.

"You don't need to be nervous. Haven't you tried your food? It's delicious! Here."

Umi looked back up. Honoka had scooted herself closer to Umi, and was holding a sandwich toward her. Umi also noticed that it was the sandwich Honoka had eaten earlier.

"Ah... Honoka-chan..."

"Come on."

Umi thought about it a little more before finally taking the sandwich. She took a bite, admiring her work from this morning.

"I'm glad it turned out good," Umi said to herself, though Honoka could hear.

Honoka grabbed a pair of chopsticks. She picked out an omelet and held it to Umi.

"Here, ah-"

"Wait.."

Honoka gave Umi a look. Seeing that, Umi couldn't try and resist anymore. She let Honoka feed her the omelet. Honoka gave a satisfied smile before she picked up another omelet and ate it herself. As she finished it, Umi had taken the other pair of chopsticks. She grabbed an omelet and went to bring it to Honoka.

"Ah-"

Honoka opened her mouth and waited, which surprised Umi. But she fed Honoka the omelet. Honoka smiled as she ate it. They continued as they finished the rest of the food. Honoka kept a smile the entire time, which relaxed Umi as time went on.

They finished the bentos fairly quickly, and had some time left before the lunch break ended. Umi finished putting away the bento boxes.

"Thanks for the food," Honoka said as she put her hands together.

Umi smiled. "I'm glad you liked it."

"Shall we head back to the classroom now?"

"No, we still have some time left."

Umi sat next to Honoka and rested against Honoka's side, closing her eyes and enjoying the comfort. Honoka smiled as she looked onto Umi's peaceful face.

"Umi-chan is cute like this."

That was a thought Honoka seemed to be having a lot about her fellow Muses recently. No matter who it was, she found something cute or appealing about each of them when she spent alone time with them. It felt a little different right now though, but Honoka wasn't quite sure why. Still, Honoka moved her face closer to Umi's. She knew Umi wasn't sleeping, she just had her eyes closed.

"Here's another thanks for lunch," Honoka said quietly.

Before Umi could figure out what that meant, Honoka had pressed her lips against Umi's. Umi's eyes shot open in surprise. Her eyes confirmed the feeling, Honoka was kissing Umi. After a few moments, Umi had recovered from the surprise, and relaxed into the kiss.

They held together like that for some time before Honoka finally pulled away, in time for them to both hear the warning bell sound. They stood still a little longer, resting in a warm embrace, before finally getting up to return to class.

Later, after class, Umi had left before the others for archery practice. As Honoka put the last of her things back into her bag, Kotori arrived by her desk.

"Shall we go home?" she asked, a soft smile on her face.

"Sure," Honoka said as she stood up.

Together they made their way out of the school.

"Do you have any plans for the rest of the day?" Kotori asked Honoka as they walked.

"Well.." Honoka said, thinking. "Oh, I have to help out with my family's shop today."

"Oh.." Kotori sighed. "I guess that means we can't hang out today."

Honoka looked surprised at Kotori's sudden change in mood. It wasn't like Kotori to get upset this easily. Honoka quickly thought of something to cheer her up.

"Well, did you want to help out as well? We could spend a little time together after if you'd like."

"Really?" Kotori asked.

"Of course. I'm sure my family won't mind."

"Then I'd love to!"

Honoka smiled seeing Kotori's bright smile return to her face. Kotori got a little closer to Honoka to grab hold of her arm. They walked the rest of the way together like this.

"Ah, there you are Honoka-chan," Honoka's mom said as they entered the shop. "Ah, hello Kotori-chan."

"Hello, Kousaka-san," Kotori said, bowing slightly.

"Mom, is it alright if Kotori helps out today?" Honoka asked.

"Of course. That would be really appreciated," her mom responded. "Some sweets should be finished now. Can you two bring them out then start on the next batch?"

Honoka and Kotori nodded, and proceeded to the back of the store, where the Kousakas lived. Kotori brought the tray out to the front while Honoka went to get started on the sweets. Once Kotori returned, Honoka showed her what she needed to do, and they proceeded to make the sweets.

They worked at it for a few hours before Honoka's dad came in and told them they were done for the day. Relieved, the two of them went to Honoka's room. Honoka fell onto the soft comfort of her bed.

"Ah, this feels nice," she said happily.

Kotori giggled as she sat on the bed next to Honoka. She looked at Honoka's smiling face, eyes closed, as she lay on the bed.

"Honoka-chan.." Kotori said after a while, breaking the silence.

"Hmm?" came Honoka's response.

"It's about earlier... where did you and Umi-chan go during lunch today?"

Honoka froze where she lay. She wasn't sure if it was a good idea to tell her or not.

"Ah.. well.. Umi-chan wanted to show me something."

"And it took all of lunch?"

"...I probably should have thought that through more..." Honoka thought to herself. She gave an awkward laugh to try and shake it off.

"What did you two do during lunch?"

"N-nothing..." Honoka tried saying.

Kotori moved on top of Honoka.

"Really?"

"R-really.." but Kotori was looking Honoka straight in the eye, and Honoka couldn't take it any longer. "Well, we kissed... but that's all!"

Kotori stared at Honoka for a little longer. Eventually she let out a sigh.

"Alright, I believe you."

Honoka let out a sigh of her own, relieved that this little interrogation was over.

"So." Kotori said.

"So?"

"You're going to make it up to me."

"Eh?"

Kotori leaned closer, and pressed her lips against Honoka's. Relieved it was just a kiss, Honoka relaxed as she kissed Kotori back. Kotori felt Honoka ease up, and took the time to undo the buttons of Honoka's school shirt. Honoka didn't notice until she felt Kotori move the shirt aside. Honoka's body twitched as she felt Kotori's touch against her skin. Kotori, knowing Honoka as well as she did, slid her fingers along Honoka's skin, across her sensitive spots. Honoka squirmed, or tried to, as Kotori sitting on top of her made it hard for her to move her body much.

Eventually, Kotori stopped playing with Honoka's body. But their lips stayed locked in a kiss even after, only stopping briefly to breath. After a few more minutes, Kotori finally pulled away, sitting straight up though still on Honoka. They both were breathing a little harder. Kotori smiled.

"I think that will do. Thank you for that, Honoka-chan," Kotori said sweetly.

"Y-yeah.." Honoka managed a smile as well.

Hey guys, nobodD here!

Ah, my apologies that this chapter took a while to get posted. I had trouble getting solid ideas down, and decided to watch an anime to take a break. Since the season had finished, I watched Strike the Blood over the weekend. Loved it, by the way. Eheh.

As for the chapter itself, I didn't plan on combining two characters' chapters into one. I wanted each chapter to focus on one of the girls' time with Honoka. But as you can see, these would have been short for stand-alone chapters. And since one would have led right into the other, I decided that for just this once, I would combine them.

For those keeping track, we have one last character that will get her own chapter. Then we have a fun chapter or two after that. Hope you'll stick around for those :3

That's it from me. Until next time~
