When Lily started ranting about how much she hated Murphy I knew something had gone wrong. I knew it was something downright awful when she decided to curse him first thing in the morning, when still in bed, while we were cuddling.
She quickly explained that the previous day, she had let Luka know, quite despite herself, of our relationship. She wouldn't tell me how, apparently that was a secret, but the important thing was that her best friend knew.
I hugged her close and told her it was alright. The reason she felt bad was because she had broken the promise to keep it secret. Purposefully or not, the guilt was there.
But she had no reason to feel bad. It wasn't like it was almost two months before, when our relationship had just started. I felt confident, we were happy, and I wasn't scared anymore.
We agreed to let our close circle of friends know. I could feel her heart beat faster, and I bet she felt mine, not because we were so close and nothing divided us, but because this was one thing that could be go either very well or very badly.
I saw Miku and the twins at school later the next day, so telling them was relatively easy. All I had to do was wait for a busy moment so I could quickly declare it flat out.
The blondes had to think for a longer amount of time than Miku, and even she did a double-take. Lily, they asked, the scary grumpy guitar-expert Lily.
After that, Miku was quick to smile and congratulate me. I didn't need to worry about them talking about it, as we had promised to keep it a secret before I even said anything. Len then asked what it was like to kiss another girl, and Rin immediately had to ask if two girls dating even kissed in the first place.
Miku and I laughed, and the subject was quickly dropped; if they wanted to talk about it more it had to be elsewhere; class started.
