Suwako lay in her bed, awake. She couldn't get a certain fairy out of her head. They can't be together, so why would she think like this? She picked up one of her frogs that had recently been frozen by the fairy in thought. She stroked it and sighed, wanting to go back to sleep. Cirno kept entering her train of thought though. She turned over on her side, and saw the clock. Five a.m. She sighed and shut her eyes.
Cirno couldn't get Suwako out of her head. She'd already tried not to think about her nine times. Even though she was the strongest, it didn't do anything. No matter how much of Suika's achohol she downed, Suwako didn't go away. It was already five a.m. She needed sleep, she decided and she lay down on a tree branch. What was the matter? She swung her arm back and forth while it dangled from the branch.
Wriggle flew high above the flowers, happy to be in company of her fellow fireflies. She did a loop and landed in the center of the field. Cirno approached her, looking bothered about something.
"Hey, Wriggle." Cirno said.
"Hi Cirno!" Wriggle said hovering.
"Can I trust you with a big secret?" Cirno grew red.
"Mmhmm!" Wriggle nodded, intrigued.
"I'm the strongest. But lately, I can't get the frog out of my head." Cirno shifted her feet and Wriggle shifted her face into a playful grin.
"The one whose frogs you keep freezing. Don't you hate her?" Wriggle put her hand on her chin in mock thought.
"Yeah... I think so. I don't really know anymore!" Cirno sat on the ground in a pout.
"How do you think about her?" Wriggle asked, twirling and laying on the ground next to the ice fairy.
Cirno's face turned red and she puffed out her cheeks for a second. "Well, I don't know, she's just kinda there Y'know?"
Wriggle nodded, her antennae spreading apart and coming back together. "Are these things good or bad?"
"I guess good? Cause it's not like death." Cirno shrugged.
Wriggle smirked comically. "I think I have an idea."
"Oh yeah, what is it!?" Cirno grew excited.
"Love." Wriggle replied, crossing her legs in the air.
"What!?" Cirno yelled. "It can't... I can't- no..." She scratched her head. "Oh my god." She looked over to Wriggle and shook her. "You're a genius light-butt!" She dropped Wriggle, who staggered a bit.
"Thanks. And don't call me light-butt, my name's Wriggle Nightbug." Wriggle grasped her spinning head and closed her eyes. Cirno could shake hard, that was for sure.
Cirno flew off. "Thanks again!"
Suwako sat on her stairs by the doorway, kicking her feet. Sanae noticed her grim expression and approached her, putting her broom down. She sat next to her.
"What's up?" Sanae put her hand on Suwako's shoulder, Suwako flinching at the touch.
"Ya ever get this problem where ya can't get this one person out of your mind?" Suwako drew in the dirt with a stray stick.
"What do you mean?" Sanae asked.
Suwako turned red unconsciously. "Like even if you try, you can't stop thinking about them. And you like don't know why."
Sanae smiled warmly. "Are these thoughts good, or bad?" She rubbed Suwako's back warmly.
"I don't know... okay, I guess. They're just there, Y'know?" Suwako had tears in her eyes and she drew in her knees and hugged them tightly.
Sanae could feel the confusion and other feelings from the blonde. "Yeah, I get those too. To tell you the truth, I was just thinking of the shrine-maiden Reimu about five minutes ago." She blushed.
Suwako sniffled, and she wiped her eyes. "They won't stop, and I'm not supposed to think about her!"
Sanae sighed. "It's love. That feeling you have, the thoughts, they're love."
Suwako cried and got up. "I need some space now, but thank you." She trudged into her room and slid the door shut. She looked down at Pyonta. "What should I do?" Pyonta didn't respond. Suwako sighed and lay on her bed, face down. How could she be in love with Cirno? Of all people, Cirno. The one she couldn't ever be with, everyone would have a shit about it. She wouldn't love her back anyway. There wasn't a chance. She turned onto her side and played with a nearby frog plush she had. She had had it since she was about twelve, which was a few years ago. She still loved it too. She mentally cursed herself for falling in love with the ice fairy idiot who was supposed to be her rival. She also froze Suwako's frogs. She laughed so childishly and she was funny. There she went again. Thinking about Cirno. What was she gonna do for the whole day?
Cirno groaned and threw three more icicles at a rock wall. She sat down cross legged and buried her head in her hands. How could she have ever fallen for the frog? There's no way, maybe she really is an idiot. She let tears fall from her face and she lay on her side, staring at the rock walls around her. Her view blurred and she cringed, tears falling full force and she was racking with sobs. She hit her head against the ground. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot! Idiot! She curled herself up. Suwako would never love her back. Just thinking of her name made Cirno blush. Even if Suwako did love her back, everyone would think ill of them being together. They were supposed to be rivals. She froze frogs. Suwako got mad. They had a fight. That's how it goes. Right? Now all day she could sit here and mope around in her own stupidity. At least only Wriggle knew and she didn't seem to care much. She slid over to a corner and sat in it, arms folded around her head, which was buried in her knees. She just wanted to be alone and sort this out. She cast a thick ice wall, separating her place in the cave with the main part. She sat, still thinking about Suwako.
Suwako decided that she would got to her favorite cavern. There was a large tunnel and a pond there. She hoped that would cheer her up. Definitely. She wore her scarf and pulled Pyonta down snugly on her head, because it was chilly there. She stepped outside into the sunlight, it blinded her for a moment.
Sanae looked over. "Where are you off to?"
"Icy Cavern. It's my favorite place." Suwako replied walking off.
Sanae smiled and thought to herself about how the name Icy Cavern had never been mentioned before.
Suwako pushed closed the boulder entrance and stepped in, admiring the dark blue hue the rock had and the mossy smell of water-logged stone. But there was something off today. The air was colder. She puffed out a breath and saw a faint white vapor dissipate into the air. She walked the first tunnel, turning into the part of the cave where the pond was located. She gasped. The pond was covered in a very thin slush. Across the pond, a wall of ice surrounded a usually open part of the cave. Weird. That's why it's colder. New ice. She furrowed her brow and approached the wall, studying it. She rapped on the cold wall.
A sound bounced into Cirno's ears. A tapping echoed throughout her cave. She paid it no mind and turned her head back into the corner.
Weird. This ice wall was hollow. Suwako picked up a small rock and started pounding at the spot closest to her. She broke through in about a half of an hour, her arms sore. What she saw surprised her. Cirno was there, her back to Suwako. She was curled up in the corner and seemed to be crying. Suwako stood in her spot and dropped the rock. She walked over the shattered ice to Cirno. She knelt down. Her hands hovered above Cirno's shoulders. The least she could do was be nice. She put her hands on Cirno's shoulders, then slid them around her into a hug. Cirno didn't usually feel actually cold. This time she was basically radiating cold air. Suwako could manage it. Cirno was in a lot of pain for a reason Suwako didn't need to know.
Cirno flinched at the touch and started to squirm. But then she saw Suwako was the one holding her. She went limp into Suwako's chest, giving in to the sadness and crying out.
Suwako fell at Cirno's sudden movement. She dragged them over and propped herself against a wall of cold stone.
Cirno felt embarrassed. She buried her head into her crush's chest, sobbing and gripping to Suwako's dress.
"It's a freezer in here, why?" Suwako asked, unconsciously stroking Cirno's hair.
"I'm sorry... I'm so stupid Suwako!" Cirno said between sobs.
"What? Why, you didn't do anything today!" Suwako exclaimed.
"I can't continue this rivalry!" Cirno cried. "BECAUSE I'M TOO MUCH OF AN IDIOT! I LOVE YOU THAT'S WHY!" Cirno wailed. She had lost her composure and was now bracing herself for rejection.
Suwako sat in a daze, still stroking Cirno's hair. Did she just say... she couldn't have. She wouldn't have. It's impossible! Suwako felt as tears ran down her face and she sobbed, clutching onto Cirno's back.
"Is that... true Cirno?" Suwako cried.
Cirno didn't reply, she just kept sobbing, waiting for the harsh words.
"I... I... I LOVE YOU TOO YOU GIGANTIC IDIOT! YOU MAKE ME FEEL WEIRD AND HAPPY INSIDE AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" Suwako yelled, as if had she not yelled it, no one would've heard it. Cirno froze.
"Yeah right." Cirno was calming down.
Both girls were fidgeting and extremely red. Cirno looked up at Suwako's face and saw the pain that she had been through. She grabbed her hands and intertwined their fingers.
"It's true." Suwako said.
Cirno smiled weakly and jumped onto Suwako, knocking them both to the ground. Pyonta flew off of Suwako's head and landed a few feet away from her. Suwako turned over and looked down at Cirno under her. Cirno's arms wrapped around Suwako's waist and she pulled her closer. Suwako's hand pushed Cirno's head up while the other on held Suwako up. Their lips touched for the first time, and all of the passionate energy that they thought was hate suddenly occupied them. Cirno dragged Suwako down so that their bodies were pressed against eachother's. Cirno made another wall of ice. She seperated them from the world. Suwako licked Cirno's lip, asking for entry to her mouth. Cirno parted her lips instinctively and felt Suwako's tongue slide over her teeth slowly. Their mouths opened mid-kiss because Suwako wanted to get deeper into Cirno's mouth. One of Cirno's hands lowered down and rubbed Suwako's hip. Her other hand ran up and down Suwako's back, her fingers raking down Suwako's back, sending shudders through her. Their composure was lost, replaced by heat and wanting, a lustful combination. They had no control over the situation, for their feelings were too strong. Cirno pawed at the dress and Suwako got off her and took it off, leaving her in her black undershirt and panties. Cirno slid hers off and removed her dress shirt, leaving her chest exposed. Her wings disappeared because she wouldn't be needing them right now and Suwako lay back on top of her. Suwako ran her hand up the middle of Cirno's torso, dodging the breasts. She remained doing that while she licked what tears remained off of Cirno's face. Then she moved up and nibbled on Cirno's collarbone, sucking on the part she had bit. Cirno put her head back to allow full access to her neck, and her breathing grew heavy. Suwako chuckled and rubbed on Cirno's right breast. Cirno yelped and bucked her hips, grunting ever so often. Cirno's hands found their way to Suwako's blooming breasts and brought the shirt up. Cirno dragged her hands and grabbed both breasts at once. Suwako let out a strangled cry and bit down on Cirno's neck, making Cirno cry out in pleasure. Suwako's tongue licked the bite as a sort of apology. But Suwako and Cirno both knew that that mark wouldn't go away for awhile. Suwako rubbed her nipples against Cirno's, causing them both to shudder with pleasure. Suwako's tongue dangled from her mouth. Cirno twitched. She took Suwako's fingers into her mouth and licked them, coating them with saliva. Suwako watched as she grew hornier. Suwako loved to be with Cirno. They couldn't possibly be rivals anymore. Cirno loved her. The last thought sent Suwako over the edge. She arched her back and tilted her head back and screamed with orgasmic pleasure. Suwako collapsed onto Cirno, twitching and was breathing heavily.
"I love you Cirno." Suwako huffed.
She moved her head and licked down Cirno's neck. She wanted Cirno to feel what she had just felt. She bit on Cirno's collarbone and Cirno cried out. She did it repeatedly and Cirno's cries became more lengthy. Suwako grabbed both of Cirno's nipples between her thumbs and forefingers, pulling them out.
"SUWAAAAAKKO!" Cirno cried, gyrating her hips and twitching. Suwako kissed her and it lasted for Cirno's whole orgasm. Suwako broke the kiss and they stared into eachother's eyes.
Then their composure came back. They both grew completely red. Suwako looked away, but Cirno took a deep breath and pushed her mouth against Suwako's in reassurance. Suwako rolled off of Cirno onto the hard rock. Cirno turned to face her and they intertwined their fingers.
"I'm exhausted." Suwako said smiling.
"Hehe! Me too." Cirno replied.
"We kind of were like, really in to it." Suwako laughed. "We went all the way right after the confessions."
"It felt good." Cirno blushed and hid her head in Suwako's chest.
"It did, didn't it." Suwako agreed. "We could go to my place. I'll sneak you in through the back and we can sleep together. In a bed."
"Yeah! We can definitely do it. I'm the strongest!" Cirno beamed at Suwako.
They left and made their way to Suwako's dwelling. She checked in the back and signaled to Cirno, who jumped into her room. Suwako was about to go in when a voice stopped her.
"Why were you gone so long? It's almost three, and why is Cirno here?" Sanae looked displeased.
"No reason, I-I don't see C- Cirno anywhere!" Suwako shifted nervously.
Sanae noticed a fairly visible kiss mark on Suwako's neck that had what seemed to be flakes of ice by it, and she also looked tired. "What is that?" She said pointing to the mark.
Suwako fidgeted and her face grew extremely red. She looked down. "I-I fell on some rocks in the cave." She paused. "It was cold."
Sanae frowned. "I'll keep this a secret, but if your banging and Aya comes over, it's not my fault." Suwako looked relieved and she ran into the house. The door slid shut.
Suwako gave Cirno a new pair of panties to wear and Cirno slipped them on. She took off her dress and slid into Suwako's bed. Suwako was soon to join her. The two shared breaths and dreamt about eachother.
