40. Living Well ft YukAmo
**Tomorrow is it! then two days off :D**
**I think I wanna get some piercings in my ears...**
**I don't own anything.**
_"The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you."_
Yukari repressed another groan. Barely. Her best friend _on the entire planet_ was having herself a massive pity party. Minamo sat beside her on the edge of her couch, one leg bouncing restlessly. Seeing Minamo staring at the wall with a depressed look on her face made Yukari crave another drink. She slowly reached for her bottle of sake, only to pick it up and realize it was empty. The eccentric woman whined.
"Should I take 'im back?" Minamo asked, her words slurring slightly.
Reaching for her friend's bottle of sake, she was relived to see there was some magical liquid left. "Dunno." She answered as she poured another glass and gulped it down. "I wouldn't."
"But, ya know, he was alright ya know."
Yukari shrugged. She fell back into Nyamo's all-too-uncomfortable couch. "Only alright though."
"He thought I was cute..." She sighed wistfully, resting her elbows on her knees to prop up her head.
"I think you're cute." Yukari blurted out. Unfortunately drunk Yukari had a zero percent filter. "You're hot really." Make that a negative percent filter.
Minamo blushed and turned her gaze away. "Yeah, but you don't count."
"'Nd why the hell not?"
"Cause you're my best friend," Yukari exhaled through her nose, irritated in that answer, but Minamo continued before she could respond. "I need someone who's not my best friend so, ya know, when they leave like they always do, I'll still have my best friend."
"Make sense." The English teacher reached forward to pull Minamo into her side. With her friend sitting tense in a half embrace, Yukari intertwined their hands. "I wouldn't leave ya though."
Minamo snorted, but still relaxed into Yukari all the same. "Yeah right."
Her friend made a frustrated noise. "Nyamo!" She whined. "I- When I'm with ya, I'm the _happiest_ person in the whole world."
"Even happier than someone who eats crab every day of their life?"
Yukari squeezed her hand and, with a minimal pause, responded. "At least two times happier."
And if that wasn't a confession of love, Minamo didn't know what was.
