Chapter 5

The One Girl For Me

Risa and Miya are on their date as usual at the park. They are just walking hand in hand for about a half hour now until they decided to take a rest and sit on a nearby bench. Hands are still held as the couple watch the other people, like children chasing each other around and adults chatting away.

"It's such a beautiful day," Risa says to break the silence.

"Indeed," Miya agrees as she rests her head on her lover's shoulder. "A beautiful day to spend with my Risa~!"

"Oh, Miya," Risa sighs with a smile.

It's been a while since they last went out on a date, but it's only because of studying for a test. For Risa, she missed spending time with her beloved, so after a long time of studying, Risa contacted Miya to go on a date at the park. Miya happily accepted the offer. So, a week later, the test was done and Risa and Miya went on their date. So far, this has been going very well. Risa and Miya were enjoying it just like any of their other dates.

The pink haired girl stretches out her arms. "Mmm~!"

"Hehe~!" Miya giggles. "Tired already, Risa?"

"I'm just stretching," Risa says. "That doesn't always mean I'm tired."

"Oh, but if you were, you're more than welcome to sleep on my lap~!"

Risa blushes. "Wh-why would I wanna do that!?"

"Hehe~! I know you want to!"

"No, I don't!"

"Then, how about this?" The dark-haired girl scoots close towards her lover, wraps an arm around her, and leans close to kiss her.

"W-wait, Miya!" Risa panics. "Th-there's people around here!"

"And why are you worried about that?"

"I-isn't that obvious!? People will stare at us and think we're weird, when you're the one causing it!"

Miya just smiles. "If it's like that, I wouldn't mind. We're a pretty popular couple anyway, so it's no big deal."

"But those people don't know it!" Risa tries to protest. "I'm telling you to get off!"

"Not going to happen." Miya kisses her on the cheek. "You are just too cute to resist."

"MIYAAAAA!"

After struggling some more, the pinkette finally pushes her lover off, stands up and pants.

"I'm…I'm going to have some time alone, okay?" She manages to say.

"Oh? You mean you're going to leave me here? All alone?"

"It doesn't matter! I need a break once in a while!"

"But we're on a date," Miya reminds her. "I didn't mean to come at you like that."

Risa bites her lip as she glances at the ground. As much as she wanted to stay, as usual, she couldn't express how she truly felt.

"I-I will just leave for a bit," she says. "To get a drink or something!"

"Oh, the drinking fountain is right there," Miya says as she points to the fountain a few feet from the bench.

"I mean to get some juice!" Risa says.

Miya smiles. "Oh, I see! Will you get me one, too, please?"

"S-sure."

"Thanks~!"

Risa walks away while still having a blush on her face. Darn it, Miya! she thinks to herself. Just when things were going so well, YOU have to create some problems for the both of us! She didn't mean to leave her girlfriend alone like that, but sometimes, she just needs some time to herself, either to calm herself down from all the shenanigans or to be alone. I really wish Miya would kiss me a bit more. That was so soothing we could just do it as long as we wanted to.

**Meanwhile**

"Oh, Risa," Miya happily sighs. "You sure are one cute girlfriend. I have to think of some other ways to show my love. Hehe~!" She isn't called a genius for nothing. Miya will always find a way to get through Risa's walls and then bring out her affectionate side. She has fun that way and loves it when she gets her beloved flustered.

As the dark-haired girl is busy giggling to herself, she hears some footsteps coming toward her.

"Goodness, that was quick Ri-" Before she can finish, she sees a girl with long brown hair and wearing a yellow dress.

"Oh…can I help you?" she asks, having a disappointed look on her face.

The brown haired girl approaches Miya. "Hello. I'm Shouko Wakanuki. I'm in your class."

"Eh?" For Miya skipping classes everyday, she can barely remember any of her other classmates other than Risa.

"Yes," Shouko says as she sits next to her. "I wanted to tell you something important."

Miya frowns. "Okay, but make this quick. I'm waiting for Risa to return."

The brown haired girl scoots closer until the gap almost closes, making Miya feel uneasy.

"What are you doing?" she asks.

"Miya-sama, I've been…admiring you for a while," Shouko says. "So, I want to ask you: will you go out with me?"

Miya raises an eyebrow. "Why would I want to do that? I have Risa as my girlfriend."

"Then, break up with her!"

"What!? That's absurd! You know how much I love Risa!"

Shouko takes Miya's hands in hers. "I know, but…you deserve someone better than her, right? I've heard from many people that Risa-sama is always the one yelling at you for skipping classes. Don't you get tired of it sometimes? She's too pushy to be your girlfriend."

Miya glares at the girl. "I'll have you know that Risa is a better girl than you are. She's not forceful nor rude. She's a great girlfriend and I'll do anything to make her smile. Yes, she scolds me a lot for skipping classes all the time, but you know what? That's what I love about her. I love everything about her. Her smile, her getting flustered every time I want to tease her and most of all, her kiss. She's a great at kissing, no matter how reluctant she is, she always has the opportunity to kiss me. So, do not insult Risa like that. Because she's the best girlfriend I could ever have."

Shouko gasps and backs away a little. "Wh-what…"

Just then, Miya turns towards a certain pink haired girl with her eyes widened.

"M-Miya…" she stutters.

"Risa!" The dark-haired girl wastes no time to run over and hug her. "I'm so sorry!"

"I…heard everything…" the pink haired girl says, quietly.

"Eh?" Miya gasps as she looks at her girlfriend. "You did?"

"Yes."

"Hey!" Shouko shouts. "What do you think you're doing!?"

Miya turns towards the brown haired girl and glares at her. "I'm with my girlfriend, Risa, right now. She's a much better girlfriend than you could ever be."

Shouko bites her lip, clenches her fists as her long bangs hide her expression. "Fine. I don't care anymore. You two go have your fun for all I care." With that, the girl runs away.

Miya then looks down at Risa. "Hey, are you okay? I'm sorry you had to see all that." She suddenly hears some sobbing coming from the pinkette. "R-Risa!? Why are you crying?"

"Because…Miya…you said all those nice things…about me…!" Risa sobs.

"Oh, Risa…" The dark-haired girl hugs her lover tighter.

"I'm so glad, Miya!" Risa continues to sob. "I'm so glad!"

There is nothing but silence except for the sound of Risa's crying. Miya just remains standing there, comforting the pink haired girl and cradling her in her arms. This lasts for about 15 minutes until the couple sit on the bench and Risa's crying lets up. Risa wraps her arms around her lover, but doesn't look at her for a bit.

"Risa?" Miya's voice sounds worried. "Are you okay?"

"Yes…" The pink haired girl replies quietly.

"I'm so sorry you had to see that earlier. You might have thought I cheated on you, right?"

"Yes. But then, I heard you say those nice things about me," Risa says. "I was never expecting that."

Miya quickly takes her cheek, gently pull her close and give her a quick kiss. "That is because you're the only girl for me, Risa. You're cute, responsible and fun to be around. There is no one else like you that I would ever be with. You are truly the one girl for me."

"Miya…" The pink haired girl takes this opportunity to return the favor. "I…I feel the same way. There's absolutely no one other than you that I want to be with."

Miya smiles as she caresses her lover's cheek and wipes the last tear off her cheek with her thumb. "I'm glad, Risa."

The two lean in and give each other another kiss, lasting a bit longer than earlier. The two pull away after about a minute and stare into each other's eyes.

"Miya," Risa says softly.

"Yes?"

"Promise me something. Promise me to never leave me."

Miya nods as she kisses her forehead. "I promise, Risa. There's no way I will ever leave you."

Risa smiles and leans in to kiss her lover on the lips once again. Miya immediately returns it and both of their hands intertwine. Miya knows very well that Risa is the only one for her and always will be. Because Risa is her one and only girlfriend.

A/N: I apologize if this situation sucks, but that's all I can think of. I know from Sono Hanabira that aside from all the comedy, there's drama. So, I decided to put that in there as my next chapter. Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review~! ;)
