Would you love something that makes you smile?

May you enjoy~ XD

"Chika-chan~"

"Hehe~ Aren't you staring too much?"

"Chika-chan?"

"Ne, Chika-chan…"

"…Chika-chan…"

"Mm…" Chika groans quietly as she squeezes her eyes tightly, reluctant to open to the new morning.

"What time…" Chika murmurs as she rolls to her side, stretching blindly for her phone.

"Uu…" Chika makes a displeased sound as the light from her phone attacks her, pursing her lips, but when numbers are read and processed…Chika jumps to life.

"Wahh! I'm going to be late!"

Chika hurried to get ready, kicking the blanket around her leg off and hopping for the bathroom, in her barely just-awake state of mind she could run away from her older sister's chide and soon she was back in her room juggling combing her hair and getting her uniform on.

Chika looks at herself in her mirror, hair braided, yellow ribbon snuggly on, green clover hairpin clipped; Chika smiles and nods to herself.

"I'm off!"

"Get to school safely~" Shima calls back.

Chika rushes onto the bus just in time and is greeted by Riko who got on the bus first and You's energetic good morning.

"Ohayousoro~ Chika-chan!"

"Ah, ohayou…so…ro…" Chika trails off when she raises her head; You's voice echoes around her and her eyes are trained at the ash-brunette's lips. Memory of her dreams last night which was filled with You's alluring voice and sweet lips.

"Chika-chan?" The peppy voice turned to concern which snapped Chika back to reality.

"Wah! Ah, it's nothing!" Chika quickly made her way to her seat which was a nice window seat this time as You and Riko were already chatting before her arrival. Chika sighed, looking shyly over to You who was mentioning something about the types of pink Riko likes and Riko responded that she is okay with anything You decides since the expert is You. The conversation soon faded as Chika went back to staring at the movement of You's lips.

Ah… I keep looking… Why…?

A faraway laughter from You floated into Chika's ears but all she could do was note how she liked it and wanted to hear more. While her mind focused on the way You's lips parted further into a wide smile.

She has such a cute smile…

"Chika-chan?" This time Riko was the one to question Chika's behaviour.

Snapping out of it with a gasp, Chika turned to face the window. "The weather today is really nice huh?"

"Hmm…It might rain later in the day though, judging from those clouds." You leaned over to peek out the window too and Chika's shoulder jolts from the closeness.

Close..! You-chan, you're too close!? It's nice though?!

"IS thAt So?" Chika's voice shook and she prayed it was not too obvious she was not alright.

"You know you can trust You-chan's Weather Forecast!" You leaned back for a salute which Chika turned to be graced by it.

Ah… You-chan deserves a monument of her saluting form…

Chika smiles a soft and gentle smile. "I trust it."

You's lips pulled higher into one huge, proud, innocent smile that was brighter than the sun and warmed Chika's heart oh so much. Its brightness helped blind Chika from Riko's amused grin too.

"And so…"

The lesson was ongoing and going over Chika's head as she was not focusing on class at all. Her attention was stolen by her neighbour in the classroom – the high-diving ace and the person Chika is in love with, Watanabe You.

Some days, You purposefully distracts Chika and they mess around together before being chided by the teacher. But today, Chika was distracted all on her own. You simply sat there and Chika could not help but prop her textbook up, lower her back to be discreet as she stole a million glances You's way.

Any slight movement of You's mouth and Chika's heart beat harder.

Ahh… Why…Why can't I look away…? Why am I so conscious and attracted to You-chan's lips today?

You's tongue makes its appearance, Chika's eyes widen. You's tongue licked her lips, and Chika gulps. Chika clutches her school uniform near her heart.

Uu… You-chan… The dream did not even feature a kiss from you and all I can think about is how soft your lips would feel on mine?! Ahhhh! This is making Chika seem so weird! Being the only one thinking about You-chan so much! Mou!

"Takami-san, can you answer this question?"

"You-chan!?" Chika sits up straight abruptly at being called by the teacher.

"No, I called for you, Takami-san." The teacher calmly said.

Chika's classmates laughed and Chika's shoulder sinks a little, not wanting to be seen but she could not help but turn to see the cause of her little mistake.

You had a jolly expression on and whispers to her. "You can do it, Chika-chan."

Kiss you?

"This factorization question." The teacher supplied.

"Ah. Kay!" Chika blinked a multitude of times to tear her eyes away from You's distracting supple lips and marched towards the blackboard to solve the math sum. After many troubled minutes and hints from the teacher, Chika managed to solve it and got rewarded with claps from her classmates, a nod of approval but reminder to pay attention.

Chika plops back in her chair with a tired sigh. "Uu…"

"Good job, Chika-chan." You encourages and Chika does her best to not jut her lips out at You the Distraction.

"Mm…Math is hard…"

"Hehe…It is but we just got to do our best to understand it, huh?" You leans on her hand, smile a slacked charming one.

Chika stares again.

I think I'm coming down with an illness called You-chan Lips Attraction Disease…

Survival was for the fittest. And Chika is quite sure she is a very weak predator while her prey is at least thrice her level! This game is unbalanced! Chika is not sure if she is lucky that Aqours' practice today isn't dance practice so she does not have to be seen as a stumbling and tumbling fool as she trips over herself from staring at You. Or lament the fact that they are having vocal training together and You's singing of "ah"s and "do re mi fa so la ti do"s were doing so much to her.

"Chika-chan, are you feeling alright, zura?" Hanamaru standing beside Chika noticed that the usually enthusiastic to practice leader of Aqours was uncannily quiet.

"Ah? Um…I'm okay! Totally fine!" Chika quickly reassures her junior.

I got caught by Hanamaru-chan! Aahhh!

"Your face is all flushed and you can't seem to stop blinking, and...looking at You-chan?" Hanamaru followed Chika's line of sight from earlier to see You.

To Hanamaru, it was a normal sight.

To Chika, there was a soft spotlight above You, illuminating the ash-brunette like the angel she is (to Chika). And there was even a sparkle nearer to You's face and her lips glistened with each note sung.

This illness is worsening. I need to seek professional help!

"I'm not blushing or blinking or staring!" Chika waved her hand in front of her, denying the symptoms.

Hanamaru gave Chika a stare full of doubt.

"Ah, Hanamaru-chan, let's practice together?" Ruby emerged and Chika thanks her lucky stars.

"Okay, zura." Hanamaru gladly steps away, she was never one to be good with what she believes to be the topic of love. At least not when it comes to pointing it out to a friend and giving advice. So, before it transitions to the maybe provide some advice for Chika part, Hanamaru is glad to have a reason to make an exit.

Chika lets out a breath she did not know she was holding and breathed in the oxygen she needed. "Ah…Today's Chika can't function well…"

After a few seconds of self-reproach, Chika raises her head Youwards again. The holy light was still there and Chika still could not stop herself from staring at You's lips. Nothing was helping her case when You took a break to drink water and Chika stared at the way You's lips press against the tip of the bottle, the way water refreshed the swimmer and it washes down You's throat. The way You grins grateful for the liquid. Licks her lips as she capped the bottle and placed it back by her bag. And the smile seemed to face her now, say her name and something else. What else does Chika need but her name to be on her lover's lips?

"Chika-chan. Aren't you staring too much?" You's lips was much closer now and that adorable giggle reached Chika without being too faded away like she was in a dream.

Dream? Wait, those words sound like what You-chan said in my dream last night too…?

"AH!" Chika jumps when she finally notices that You was right in front of her instead of where Mari was helping to be the vocal coach for the day.

"AH?" You jumps in response to Chika's sudden shout.

"Ah, s-sorry!" Chika shouts her apology and runs away.

Mou! Why am I running away from You-chan?

Chika somehow returned to singing practice and survived it without getting questioned for her earlier behaviour. And now she's on the way home with You and Riko sitting at the same position and talking to each other while she attempts to space out instead of find every syllable from You's mouth nice.

It's more than nice. I want her to record a bedtime story so I can replay it a whole lot in the night and just enjoy her reading? In fact, can I dig into my bag for my earpiece and loop You-chan's practice singing we recorded that one time and it's just so good without any instruments and her laugh at the end because I cheered a little too hard. Even I cringe, well, smile, at my loud clapping…

You-chan…

Ocean-blue eyes smiles at Chika and Chika blinks hard, her back hitting the side of the bus as she flinches backwards.

"Chika-chan? Are you okay? My bad…You were just, making, um, interesting expressions…" You speaks slow to not surprise Chika again, it would seem her best friend is spacing out a lot today and thus easily scared.

Chika remained wide-eyed and her mouth left open as she struggled for an excuse.

You-chan was staring at me? Or did she just turn to look? Cos wasn't she talking to Riko-chan? Eh?

Riko chuckles from beside You. "Chika-chan seems…"

"Wahh! It's nothing!" Chika quickly interjects, flailing her arms at Riko.

You leans back to not get hit while Riko simply laughs more.

"Oh look, here we are." Riko simply states as the bus pulls up to their stop.

You stands up too and Chika stares up at the ash-brunette. Understanding Chika like the back of her hand, You takes out her phone and shows it to Chika. The page was You and Chika's personal chat, the message was Chika asking You to hang out with her afterschool and You gladly accepting.

"Right!" Chika shoots to her feet. "Let's go!"

Chika knows for a fact that You was smiling that pretty in-love smile when she took You's hand, squeezed a little harder for her own sake but knows she had her own rosy cheeks on so she faced the front and led You down the bus.

"Isn't that harder to get off the bus?" Riko shook her head endearingly at how Chika did not let go of You's hand as they got off the bus one after the other.

"Oh shush." Chika pouts embarrassedly and brings You to her house.

"See you tomorrow, you two." Riko waves in delight.

Riko-chan is enjoying this way too much! What does You-chan think…?

Chika looked over her shoulder to see You finishing her wave goodbye to the pianist and looked back to her. A small squeeze to their intertwined hands told Chika she can stop floating for a moment and take You to her private quarters. Chika swallows the words and their meaning as she wills her legs to bring them to her room.

You places her bag at a side and sits on Chika's bed, her attention all on the only other person in the room – the owner of the room – Chika. The orangehead unfreezes to put her bag beside You's and sits down too.

"Isn't that a bit too far?" You teases as she literally had to almost splay fully on the bed to reach Chika's thigh but only playfully grazing it with her fingertips.

"Your body is curved." Chika points out.

And it's hard to be too close right now. My heart is on overdrive!

You giggles and curls adorably. "I'm a lobster~"

"No, you're not~" Chika laughs and felt lighter just like that. Falling back into her comfortable and in love state.

…It's like she knows I'm nervous…

You uncurls to look up at Chika from resting her head on the bed, beautiful ocean-blue eyes that Chika adores convey the swimmer's earnest thoughts, that she wants Chika to tell her what is up.

At least she does not know why I'm being so fidgety…

"Did I do something?"

"Yeah." Chika looks up thoughtfully.

"Tell me. And I will make things ri—"

"Too cute."

"Eh?"

"Too charming."

"Um—"

"Too distracting."

"Chika-chan—"

"Too sweet."

"Am I?"

Ugh, that grin!

"Too wonderful in my dreams that I cannot stop thinking and being conscious about your lips for whatever reason! And making me want to kiss you. No, want you to kiss me! Just. Why is your lips so nice? And why do you do everything so sensually? I'm having a hard time calming my heart down which, by the way, isn't working at all! But I don't want to run away from you…I…I…uuggwoahhh!" Chika made a string of embarrassed sounds as she buried her face in her hands.

You scoots close, their thighs touching and reaching over tentatively, her hand placed over Chika's.

"I'm a lot of things, huh?" You asks gently as she guided Chika's hand to be lowered.

"A lot." Chika grumbles, her blush-covered face revealed.

You tries to give a caring look despite wanting to smile from ear to ear from all she just heard Chika confessed and praised her off.

"Do you want to kiss me?"

"No?"

"Do you want me to kiss you?"

"…"

"Do you want us to kiss…?"

Chika's hands were in You's where whether it was purposeful or subconsciously, You's thumbs were rubbing gentle circles around Chika's palms which somehow calmed her nerves a little, her heart was still racing, however. And those eyes, gods, those blue, blue eyes that lured her in, that made her want more. Chika's eyes flicked over to You's lips; red, plump, waiting…

Subconsciously? Chika licks her lips just as You did and Chika's heart threatens to go back into over-overdrive at You's smile. She swears there was a hint of smugness.

As their lips were dangerously close, their warm breaths could be felt against one another, You whispers in the most enticing way possible.

"Don't hold back."

…!?

Chika breathes in sharply through her nose and closes her eyes. Not thinking anymore, she presses her lips to You's lips. It was like every single puzzle piece fell into place and Chika did not have to hold back anymore. Chika moves her hand up You's nape, cupping You's cheek too as the other hand pulls You's closer to her. You responded by having her hands move around Chika's back, holding Chika close to her.

"Nn…You-chan…nn…"

"Chi…ka-chan…nn…"

Lovingly, possessively, hungrily, Chika kissed You. Changing the angles, pressing on those lips, nibbling on them, pulling, sucking on You's lips to earn her those sounds of pleasure and kissing noises that filled her ears and being. Usually, Chika was the one to pant and gasp for air, but today, You tried to get some oxygen first.

"C-Chika-chan…nn…! W-Wait…"

"I can't wait." Chika breathes, her crimson eyes glowed with desire for more kisses and kiss she did as she pushed against You's shoulder lightly, allowing You to fall back onto the bed slowly as she followed after, not letting You's lips be away from hers for long.

You squirmed as Chika straddled her.

"You told me…nn…to not…nn…hold…back…nn…" Chika kissed You again and again and again.

You's ears were burning, on the rare time when both their eyes opened slightly, You's ocean-blue eyes shimmered with a similar desire and yet flamed Chika's burning passion for her at the same time. Perhaps it was because Chika was looking down at You, and the way You mewed in response to their tongues dancing. Either way, Chika knew one thing – she will not be stopping anytime soon.

"Haa…Haa…Chika-chan…"

"… …"

Chika burrows her face further into You's chest.

"Don't say anything…" Chika demands feebly.

You chuckles low, Chika felt the vibrations from being on You. You pats Chika's head soft and gentle, Chika rubs her cheek on You's chest a little in response. You kisses the crown of Chika's head, and Chika breathes out her nose while any tenseness in her muscles left her.

"Was it…too much?"

You chuckles again, a little louder this time. Before Chika could panic, she answers in a voice that could make flowers bloom. "Never."

"Uu…I think it was…" Chika mumbles but the negativity is being cleared as You combs Chika's hair with her fingers.

You-chan is too…good to me…

"I loved it."

She loved it…

"I want…more…" You's arm shifted, most probably to scratch her cheek.

She wants more…

"I love it when Chika-chan…is…is…"

Is…?

"Proactive… Cos you know…I…" You's heart was picking up the pace, Chika loved that she could hear it loud and clear from her position.

"That you're a hetare?" Chika giggles.

"Mou." Chika loves the pout in You's voice and decided to get up to see the pout itself.

"Don't look at me." You tries to push Chika back down to her chest but Chika fought it with a smile.

"But I like it~"

You pursed her lips.

Chika swiftly leans down and pecks You's lips.

You's eyes widen in surprise. Chika broke into a wide smile.

"You-chan! I love you!"

"Wah! Chika-chan~~" You whines and laughs at the same time as she accepted Chika's big hug and nuzzling into her neck, being peppered with kisses from Chika at the same time all made her heart race and face melt from all the love she is receiving.

It was only until a little later that You got a chance to say I love you to Chika and Chika simply nuzzles against You again with a soft, "I know~ "
