Act 6

Pocky Game

A/N: Suggested to me by Miyuki-chan.

Honoka eats the last of her bread happily while she and Umi sit outside, eating together with Kotori beside them. They were eating lunch together like always when Kotori notices a rectangular box inside Honoka's bag.

"Hey, Honoka-chan?" she says as she points to it. "Are those…pocky?"

"Why yes~!" Honoka replies as she takes them out. "In fact, I was saving these just for today…for us to share, too~!"

Umi gives a weak smile. "Well…do be careful. You've been eating a bit too many sweets lately."

"Hehe! Sweets are so yummy, though!" The ginger opens the box and takes on pocky out to give to Kotori. However the ash-brunette takes it with her mouth with a giggle, much to the ginger's surprise.

"Eat with me, Honoka-chan~" Kotori offers.

"Okay~!" Honoka accepts it and bites into the other end.

Umi just watches with her eyebrow twitching. She sees the two slowly leaning in close to each other. And then when they were about to connect lips…

"AHHHHHH! That's enough! Enough of the sh-shameless things!" Umi shouts, grabbing her head with her hands and shaking it roughly.

Honoka and Kotori stop and giggle at Umi's cute reaction.

"Umi-chan, come on~!" the ginger says. "We're just playing."

"Well…h-how dare you do that in front of me!?" Umi says, pouting and crossing her arms. "You're so unfair!"

"We're not being unfair. Like I said, we're just playing~!"

"And like I said, you're doing it in front of me!"

Honoka and Kotori exchange looks and just smile as they look back at Umi.

"We're sorry, Umi-chan," the ginger says as she scoots closer towards the bluenette. "Here, let me make it up to you~"

She puts one end of the pocky in her mouth and leans in closer to her. "Have a bwite~"

Umi blushes heavily as she stares at the pocky and then at the happy ginger.

"Umi-chwaaan~?"

The lyricist groans, looking back and forth to see if anyone is watching. Then, when she is sure the coast is clear, she bites her lip, gathers up all her courage and then scoots closer. She bites into the other end and they begin chewing. The closer they get, the redder Umi's face becomes. She is ready for the incoming kiss, but the whole thing is just so embarrassing for her that she wants to stop half way. However, the ginger wouldn't let her, so she herself finishes it off until they connect lips. Kotori gasps as Honoka wraps her arms around Umi's neck and deepens the kiss. Umi shortly returns the kiss, wrapping her arms around Honoka's waist. Though it's embarrassing for her, sometimes, she can't help but go along with the ginger.

Kotori smiles at the two of them smooching until they pull away to catch their breath and gaze at one another.

"You two are so cute~!" the ash-brunette giggles.

Umi jumps and looks at Kotori. "U-ummmm…I don't look that c-cute…"

"You're lying, Umi-chan~" Honoka says as she hugs the shy girl. "I think you're TOTALLY cute~!"

"H-Honoka!"

The ginger giggles as she nuzzles her face against her cheek. "Hehehe~! Ohhhhh, Umi-chan. You're just soooo cute~!" She kisses her on the cheek, making the bluenette's face get very red.

"S-SO…SO SH-SHAMELESS, I TELL YOU! SO SHAMELESS!"
