Gumi walked through the house a bit agitated as she walked and then stopped by the stairs sighing out softly as her brows came together tightly. She couldn't stop recalling earlier with how close Luka and her had been, how close she'd been to kissing the pink haired girl. She pressed her fingers to her lips softly as she stood there and her cheeks burned softly a little bit as she blinked slowly closing them for a couple moments. She felt an inexplainable urge to dash after Luka and demand to be let in to talk about it.
She sighed out opening her eyes looking up the stairs feeling a sense longing and she walked up the stairs slowly and felt a bit hesitant for an unknown reason and she reached the top then she walked down the hall to her and Luka's bedroom and she pushed the door open. She walked in looking around then blinked gently as she looked at an empty room and she walked in further and checked everywhere after walking in. The closet, under both beds, behind all doors, over the ledge of the window, even behind the dressers then Gumi sat down on the bed blinking softly then sighed falling back. Luka was gone.
She must have snuck out via the window obviously and Gumi rubbed her eyes and rolled over in the bed when a soft crinkling noise caught her attention and she reached under her side and pulled out a piece of wrinkled paper. It was a little note from Luka saying that she would be down at the beach if she wanted to talk and Gumi sighed gently for the third time.
She laid there for a moment or two debating whether she honestly wanted to go out but when she thought of snagging a little moment alone with the pink haired vocaloid she got up pulling on an orange bikini smiling and she pulled a shirt and dashed down the hall and all but flew down the stairs her green hair swinging gently and when she reached the bottom Sonika looked up from her conversation with Bi Al in surprise.
"Sonika I'm going out to the beach to swim for a bit, is that okay?" Gumi asked quickly shocking Sonika a little bit but then the older vocaloid smiled at Gumi.
"Of course, that is what we're here for so go on and have some fun then. Just come in at lunch though." Sonika said with a nod and Gumi gave her a brief quick hug before running down the hall, through the kitchen and out the backdoor to the back porch and ran off it and ran through the sand fast. She pumped her arms at her sides gently and she reached the waters edge looking back and forth before to her right she caught a flash of pink and she turned running towards it, wondering why she was suddenly so eager and anxious to be alone with Luka.
"Luka!" She yelled as she ran and she saw the pink head look up in answer and Gumi let out a breath as she ran faster and she finally reached the pink haired girl bending over to take a couple of deep breathes. Then she straightened and smiled at Luka who was watching her with wide blue eyes. "What're you doing out here?"
"Thinking of swimming. That is why we're spending the summer here. To swim and stuff like that. " Luka said a bit tonelessly as she stared at Gumi and she seemed to remember something for she looked away and moved her hair behind her ear lightly in an old nervous habit that Gumi recognized.
"What's up? Anything wrong?" Gumi asked with a tilt of her head as Luka seemed to jerk a little bit and look at her with a little shocked look then she regained her composure and smiled at her.
"Nothing's wrong trust me. Do you want to swim?" She asked gesturing to the water and she pulled her shirt up and shimmed her jeans off smiling slightly at Gumi before walking to the water and Gumi scrambled to take her shirt off then ran to Luka who was about shin deep in. They walked into the cool water until Gumi stopped as they got to their waists and Luka continued walking in, the ends of her hair slowly floating along the surface of the water as she went deeper in making her hair seem like soft pink seaweed. "Hm? Gumi?"
"Y-Yeah?" Gumi replied quickly snapping out of her daze or whatever it was you could have called it and her cheeks burned quickly as Luka turned to her, breast high in the water and Gumi found herself surprisingly struggling to keep her eyes up and not down at Luka's surely damp chest.
"Are you coming?" Luka asked tilting her head causing more of her pink hair to slide into the water and Gumi's fingers twitched and she quickly walked in shivering when the water hit her stomach then touched the bottom of her own breasts and she took a large breath dunking under and Luka then did the same.
Gumi, who had her eyes open in the water, was suddenly watching Luka with wide eyes as her pink hair billowed and wafted around Luka's face the instant she was under the water making her seem like some type of ancient mermaid creature, her white skin seeming whiter and her hair was a beautiful deep, dark pink, darker than when it was dry and Gumi felt her fingers twitching a tiny bit again.
Luka opened her own eyes blinking a couple times to, obviously, adjust her eyes to the water and she turned her head looking at Gumi and she smiled at the green haired girl who blushed, the color bright and Gumi rushed to the surface breaking through gulping in a breath wiping the water out of her eyes as her cheeks burned nad her heart seemed to jsut beat hard, not a thud, just hard against her chest which caused her stomach to squeeze with butterflies. She couldn't do this. She just couldn't! She rushed to the beach just as Luka came up and her heart now thumped to a guilty edge and she felt so terrible for leaving.
"Gumi? Where are you going?" Luka called out as she stood up straight then ran, or tried too run, through the water to Gumi just as the green haired vocaloid reached the sand picking up her shirt and she held it to her soaking chest beginning to run to the house when Luka's voice again stopped her.
She turned her head slightly looking at Luka's confused eyes, her blue eyes seeming sad, lonely and she was utterly wet. Gumi's cheeks blazed for the third time as she watched a couple water droplets run down Luka's stomach and down to soak into the fabric and her nipples stood out against her top and Gumi's hands twitched crazily and she turned back around closing her eyes shut tight. No she couldn't do this!
"I'm sorry I need to go!" Gumi gasped out sounding choked and breathless all at once then she took off running to the house as Luka shouted out behind her but Gumi kept running and she ran into the house tracking sand but she ran to the stairs hearing Luka chasing afterh er through the sand still calling out her name and she ran through the kitchen and down the hall only to run up the stairs which slowed her a bit.
"Gumi!" Luka called out as she ran inside the house then followed after Gumi's trail of sand and foot prints and Gumi's heart jerked in her chest as she ran and she finally, blessedly, reached the top of the stairs then ran down the hall to the ned hoving the door open then slamming it shut locking it and leaned against it as her legs trembled and she slid down to the floor.
When? When did this feeling start? Third grade? Seventh? Or was it ninth when Luka all but blossomed into that practical D cup bra in under a year? She didn't know when it was but honestly, along the way of her and Luka's friendship, Gumi had managed to all but fall in-No she couldn't say nor think that. She all but managed to crush on Luka so hard that there were days were she couldn't talk to the pink haired vocaloid but she'd never felt this way, never felt the urge to climb on her, bury her fingers through her soft pink hair and press her lips to Luka's like she so desperately wanted too earlier, but if she wanted Luka to stay her friend she couldn't feel this way.
She shouldn't be allowed to feel this way. She'd had so many fuck ups with romance and the fact that she was now crushing on Luka was terrible, she just couldn't do that to her. She was so greatful she acted so normal around Luka when these thoughts ran through her head but after straddling Luka the way she had, after nearly kissing her, she didn't think it'd be hard to be around Luka but it was. She felt surprising tears welling up in her ees and she rubbed her eyes softly as her brows came together so tight she felt them twitch just gently.
No she wouldn't do that to Luka, that's why she kept it in all these years right? So she wouldn't hurt Luka, so she could be her best friend the way Luka needed her to be and the way she convinced herself it would be enough. That just hugging, laughing, talking and smiling with Luka could and would be enough for her, that she wouldn't ever need more but she broke that the moment she started to feel things for Luka she never should have begun to feel, things she should've felt for some guy in their school, but no it had to have been Luka. Why her? Out of all the people why did it have to be one of her friends? She sniffled gently and stood up slowly as her shirt fell from her finger sand she moved a hand through her dripping wet hair with some difficulty and she rubbed her eyes again.
She was so tired of this feeling of wanting more, wanting to kiss, touch and drag Luka against her and then feel so guilty about it. She then lifted her head with a determined look even as her eyes watered and she walked to her bag pulling out her clothes and putting them in the dresser then did the same for Luka making sure not to linger even for a moment then she walked to her side of the room pulling on a new bra, panties and shirt and shorts then she moved a hair brush through her hair.
No she wouldn't say anything about this to Luka. She. Would. Not. She walked to the door blowing out a breath locking down everything tight and she unlocked the door holding the knob in her hand when she abruptly felt sad which surprised her a bit. Why? Why did she feel sad about this? She shouldn't be! She and Luka were friends and that was all it could be. Yet why did such a decision hurt her so badly?
I realize this chapter is kinda short and it may seem so rushed for feelings but remember this is kind of like Gumi's point of view, just without the whole writing of "Gumi's P.O.V" thing so this is how she's feeling. That's what I just wanted to clear up but I feel kinda bad that this is a little short but I'll try to update tomorrow though or maybe start writing tonight again but I hope this chapter was kind of good and at least somewhat satisfactory to some, if not then maybe I can improve on it! But I hope this was a good chapter!
