She wore a mask

And behind that mask was a loving heart. AU

"Is everyone here?"

"Hitomi and a few others are not here yet." Madoka ran up to the class chairperson. "Hitomi is still preparing the food that she's suppose to bring while the rest are probably late."

The day had arrived. It was a bright sunny day and everything was going perfectly well. Everyone were in the chalet, with the air-condition running at the lowest temperature as possible due to the terrible heat outside. Only a few people and Madoka were outside preparing the food and other necessary things to keep the party going. They better be grateful.

While Madoka was unpacking the chips and drinks, she noticed a figure walking towards her as she casually turned and looked up. To her pleasant surprise, Hitomi finally arrived. They began talking for a moment until Sayaka joined them outside. As they came together to help out, Madoka heard footsteps approaching but not to her direction. Looking up again, she finally saw the person she had been waiting for.

No on expected that person to come. It was impossible. Everyone thought that someone like her would never appear but they were all wrong.

The woman took off her helmet and waved the receipt in the air. "Pizza delivery." The pizza delivery person was actually a woman. Wow.

Madoka smiled and skipped towards the pizza girl and took the fifteen boxes to the table.

People started to stop being anti-social and useless and came out from their emo zones and hung out outside the chalet despite the weather. They talked for a while as they eat and Madoka smiled at how effective the gathering was.

Thirty minutes later, they noticed a few more latecomers strolling in. And finally, Madoka saw the person she had been anticipating for.

Homura.

A few people were surprised, definitely. No one would have thought that Homura would turn up, probably never in a million years.

Madoka beamed and was about to walk towards Homura to give her greetings when a couple of girls came up to Homura and started talking to her. Not smiling at all, she run her hair through her fingers and gave her answers to everyone' question in a calm and cool manner.

Madoka sighed and looked away. Right when she did, her eyes fell on the last plate of food that were left for the latecomers. Her face brightened up as she picked the plate and walked to the kitchen before going up to Homura confidently.

Clearing her throat, Madoka apologized for her interruption and handed the food that she just microwaved and gave it to Homura. The girl stared at Madoka for a few seconds before taking it from her hand and nodded before muttering a soft thank you. With that Madoka left Homura with the others.

Madoka felt a little contented, at least she had made an improvement by taking the initiative to help Homura with the food, even though Madoka's effort probably meant nothing to Homura.

A few hours passed by and there were playing a couple of lame ice breaking games that some people suggested although everyone knew each other long ago. Madoka caught Homura looking uncomfortable and left the room before returning after for a long while. She had did that twice during the game period already. Madoka never follow hjer since she was in charge of the games but since it was another person's turn, she promised herself to go after Homura if she ever left the class again.

She prayed and prayed for a long time and finally her prayers were answered. Homura stood up without excusing herself or giving any reasons to anyone, she left. Madoka made up an excuse to Sayaka and followed Homura outside. When Homura walked out of the room, she took a sharp turn to the left and walked into a room. Madoka didn't realized it was the bathroom until she stepped in and she stared at Homura who was about to close the door.

"Is there something wrong." Homura questioned.

"Uh." Madoka blushed. "Uhhh..." She repeated, her face was now even redder than any ripest apple found in the world. She stepped back quickly and shook her head. "You can use first."

"It might take long. You can use first." Homura stepped out.

"No I'm fine-"

"You use first, I'll use really long."

"But I actually-"

"If you guys are not using then I'll use first." A girl pushed the both of them and ran into the bathroom, shutting it without even waiting for either of them to speak. Two seconds later, they could hear the loud peeing sound as they awkwardly stared at somewhere else instead of the toilet door.

Homura finally decided to break the silence. "I have stomach cramp." She muttered, looking at Madoka weakly. "So I'll be stuck inside for a long while. You should use it before I does."

Madoka blinked. "You should have told me! I have some painkillers. Do you need some?"

"That would be great." Homura muttered weakly.

Madoka scrambled to her bag and tossed out everything she had. She finally found her painkillers box and popped two medicine on Homura's hand and grabbed a cup of warm water, handing it to Homura afterwards.

They sat in the living room while the rest of the class were hanging around in the master-bed room. Madoka watched Homura took the medicine and they both stayed there without talking or moving an inch. After a long while when Homura started to move then Madoka finally loosened up and relaxed a bit.

"I felt a lot better, thank you." Homura managed a very small smile and rubbed her stomach.

Madoka beamed, being glad that there was such a huge improvement when she didn't even do much. "You're welcome Homura-chan! Um, I mean Akemi-san. If you're more comfortable with that."

Homura looked up and shrugged. "I don't really care how you call me. But if you called me by my first name, you're the first one to do that in this school."

Not knowing what exactly she meant, Madoka started playing with her fingers as she nervously asked again. "So does that mean it's okay for me to call you by your name?"

"You can say so."

She smiled and giggled as she slumped back on the sofa cheerfully. Homura raised an eyebrow and shook her head, standing up from her seat as Madoka followed immediately.

"Homura-chan!" The words that left Madoka's mouth sounded so fluently, as if she had practiced more than enough by herself. Homura turned back and looked at her.

"If you are feeling unwell, why did you come?" Madoka asked.

Homura paused for a moment before answering. "Well, I did kind of promisedto you that I would come, so I came."

Madoka widened her eyes.

"Well let's go in." Homura spoke, turning away as she head for the door without looking back.

Madoka took in a deep breathe and stepped right in the costume. As she lifted the Teddy's head and set it on her head, she wondered what would the future between Homura and her would become.
