Riko Hakozaki lay on the bed in her room. She had been so conflicted and tired the past few days, she just laid there. She had asked herself so many times if she was ready for this. She finally texted Miyako Kodama before she had a mental shutdown.

Riko Hakozaki: I need some help with something

Miyako Kodama: Sure, what's up?

Riko Hakozaki: I'm thinking of coming out to Sae.

Miyako Kodama: You should do it.

Riko Hakozaki: I know. I just don't know how.

Miyako Kodama: I can come over tomorrow. I think this week is ours to celebrate anyway.

Riko Hakozaki: Okay. Thank you.

Miyako Kodama: No problem.

Riko Hakozaki then put her phone down, and closed her eyes. She felt anxious and excited at the same time at the thought of coming out to her sister.

The next afternoon, Riko Hakozaki had heard a knock at the door. She opened it to see her girlfriend of a year now, Miyako Kodama. She smiled at Miyako Kodama and let her in, closing the door behind them.

They both sat on the couch, talking a bit before they started to plan.

"So, what were you planning to do? This is your coming out, after all."

"I have no idea. I expected to come out to Sae first, but then I always got nervous."

"It's okay. Have you tried to tell her without using your words?"

"What do you mean? That I just text her 'Hey, I hope your having a great day! I'm just texting to tell you that I like girls.'?"

"No, silly. I was talking about a banner or something."

"Wait, I have something! You mind helping me with some math?"

Sae was exhausted when she had arrived to her and Riko Hakozaki's apartment. She walked in to the sight of Riko Hakozaki taking a nap with Miyako Kodama on the couch. She smiled at the scene. She then noticed a paper on the counter.

"Heh, must be some homework."

At a closer look, Sae saw that it was quadratic equations. She had always found those a little relaxing, since they were a challenge for her in her high school years.

She heard movement on the couch, and turned to see that Riko Hakozaki and Miyako Kodama had stirred from their nap. Riko Hakozaki sat up and stretched a bit before seeing that her sister had come home.

"Hey sis. How was your day?"

"It was good. What's this?"

"Oh just some review. I was actually having a bit of trouble with them, so I waited for you to get home. I know you like quadratics, so do you mind helping me?"

"I don't mind at all. Come over here and we can start. Was Miyako Kodama having trouble too?"

Riko Hakozaki nodded as she and Miyako Kodama walked over to Sae. They soon sat down at the table, Sae on one side with Riko Hakozaki and Miyako Kodama beside each other on the other side.

"Now all you have to do is... hm. What's with this format?"

"The teacher decided to try something fun with tonight's homework. She wanted us to find the value of the letters and put them in the sentence."

"Oh, okay. If I can, can I try to solve the sentence so I can help you better?"

Riko Hakozaki nodded. She nervously grabbed Miyako Kodama's hand for reassurance, which Miyako Kodama squeezed her hand gently, trying to remind Riko Hakozaki that she wasn't alone and that it would okay.

"Riko Hakozaki, this isn't homework, is it?"

"Surprise?"

Sae looked at her younger sister, a smile on her face.

"I must say, I've never heard of anyone coming out through algebra."

"Are you mad?"

"What are you talking about? I'm proud that you told me. To be honest, I knew for a while now. How about we go out somewhere to celebrate? You can tell me how long you and Miyako Kodama were dating."

Riko Hakozaki and Miyako Kodama were speechless. Not only had Sae known, but she also knew about their relationship. Sae had gotten up, with an excited smile on her face.

"Are you two just gonna stay shocked the whole night? Come on."

"How did you know all of that?"

"I'm a lawyer, Riko Hakozaki. I'd be a brick wall if I didn't notice. Now let's go, I'm starving!"
