After a rather large amount of convincing, Mami had finally gotten Kyoko to take a nap (although she refused to move from her spot on the couch, claiming it was a "warm spot.") Knowing it was the best she could get from the stubborn redhead at the current time, Mami had rolled her eyes and draped a blanket over her, telling her to get some rest.
She went back outside to check on Madoka and Homura, only to find the pinkette just barely keeping herself propped up on the fence, asking Homura if she was alright. She heard a small chuckle of "Just peachy," before Madoka laughed too and let herself fall back onto the trampoline. The obviously happy pink-haired girl smiled warmly, and laughed again rolling onto her stomach.
"Madoka?" the blonde smiled as well, sitting down on the other end of the trampoline. "What're you giggling about?"
"I don't really know, Mami. Even though she had to leave, I'm just really happy we got to talk to Homura-chan!" the pinkette giggled again and rolled over to look at Mami. "I feel like I did something good."
"That you did," Mami smiled again and Madoka perked up, giving her a questioning look. "You noticed she was lonely, and spoke up about it. Unfortunately a lot of people would've left her to her lonesome, you did the right thing." Madoka smiled even wider as Mami finished, and the two both laughed again as they started watching the clouds.
Kyoko was half asleep by this point; her eyes closed but her mind still not done thinking. Ever since the girl left, she couldn't stop thinking of Sayaka. At first it was about how she thought something was wrong, which quickly spiraled into the fact that she looked like she'd barely slept the night before, which in turn spiraled into different things about what the girl looked like.
It started with her hair. How soft it looked, how it was such a pretty shade of blue, and how it framed her face just right.
Then she thought of her eyes. Oh gosh could she lose herself in those two pools of cobalt. An atrociously cheesy thought, she growls to herself and flops over on her other side.
Then she thought of Sayaka's smile. Her beautifully bright and cheerful smile, the one that's been there less and less since the last time the girl saw Kyousuke.
Usually, the girl took time out of every day to go visit the boy in the hospital, and would bring him CDs and talk to him. Though sometime last week, Kyoko couldn't quite exactly remember when, the girl had come back looking like she'd been crying and she'd skipped out on seeing him for a while since.
Barely awake anymore, Kyoko briefly considered calling an olly-olly-oxen-free for Sayaka if she didn't do it herself. The girls had come up with the weird tradition quite some time ago now; whenever one of them had something troubling them or something they just wanted to get off their chest, they would raise a hand and say "Olly-olly-oxen-free." Upon hearing someone say it, everyone else would drop what they were doing and listen to them. Hugs were usually involved as well, now that she thought about it.
Her train of thought was interrupted by someone lying down next to her and sighing. She also somewhat heard the opening of her favorite cartoon playing. Grunting slightly, she wrapped her arms whoever it was, feeling an odd sort of "I need a hug" aura emanating from them. She didn't really care who it was, she knew neither Mami nor Madoka would really mind, and if it was Homura she would apologize later; but for now whoever it was, wasn't getting up until Kyoko had finished napping. Especially since whoever it was so wonderfully warm.
When Mami and Madoka had come back inside from their cloud-watching escapades, they found Kyoko rather tightly hugging the now also sleeping Sayaka. Neither questioned it, after all, Sayaka looked rather worn out and Kyoko seemed intent on not letting her go.
"How long do you think they'll be out?" Madoka sighed happily as Mami draped a blanket over Sayaka as well.
"Oh who knows, let's just let them get their rest," the blonde laughed, smiling warmly. "Do you want to stay overnight?"
"If it's not too much trouble, sure!"
"Then I best get to cooking supper!"
"Ooh let me help!" the pinkette clapped her hands together and trotted off to the kitchen with Mami.
Looks like its time for some QnA with the loser- I mean author.
In answer to the question PandaPuppet about where I'm going with this story: I don't reeeeeally know. I have a vague idea, and I'm trying to put the least amount of angst in this as possible so that'll play a big part in where its gonna go.
In answer to a couple questions from Pekiunai: The same kinda deal as what happened in the main timeline in the anime with those two. I'm going to be elaborating on the Kyoko thing soon so yeah. And no, this isn't another timeline or post-Wtf Homu/Rebellion, its purely (somewhat) AU!
Until next time, which will probably be later today! Seeya, hope you guys like the rest of the story!
