Megumi x Mitsuko
Prompt: My muse or yours leaving the other.
Mitsuko sighed deeply as Megumi continued to chatter. Why she'd agreed to this in the first place was beyond her, but she deeply regretted agreeing to spend the afternoon with her new almost-friend. Megumi was a nice girl, but her optimism was nothing short of exhausting.
"And then Kaori started going on about some concert she'd gotten tickets to, so we got a little off track, but you get my point," the smaller girl laughed.
"Mhm," Mitsuko said absently, her dark eyes darting around the room. She bit the inside of her cheek, trying to think of a way out.
"Oh!" Megumi beamed. "I didn't tell you this, there's a story Noriko told me once that I bet y—"
"Hold on," Mitsuko interrupted, glancing down at her watch and pretending to be surprised. "Ah, damn, I should go. I said I'd meet someone for dinner…"
Megumi looked disappointed for a moment, but it took only a second for her to brighten up again. "Alright! Do you want some cake to take with you, Mitsuko? I made some this morning and I know I can't eat it all myself."
"That's okay," Mitsuko said quickly, wanting to leave as soon as possible. "Thanks for the coffee, though." She set down her empty mug.
Megumi smiled sweetly. "If you're sure." She got up and held the door open for Mitsuko. "This was so much fun — we should do it again sometime!"
Mitsuko forced a smile. "Right… bye, then." She ducked out the door and began walking briskly home, certain that she was getting a headache.
