(Failed) kabedon

Claudine just got out of the bathroom after refilling her bottle of water, when she passes by one of the practice rooms and notices a blue and black practice outfit inside it.

Surprised upon the unusual colors of the outfit, she decides to approach and take a better look of it, just to find that the owner of said outfit is no other than a short dull green haired girl.

Claudine smiles, ready to continue with her walking, when she sees Suzu cornering Mahiru against the practice room's wall to then slam her hand onto the wall, right beside the midnight blue haired girl's head.

She furrows her brow decided to intercede, when she notices the deep blush adorning Mahiru's face, before her shy friend quickly covers it with both of her hands completely embarrassed.

Claudine chuckles at her, before she sees Suzu pulling Mahiru's hands away from her face to grab her chin gently, obliging her friend to look into her eyes as she slowly shortens their distance.

Just before they're about to kiss, Mahiru's eyes roll back and she faints, falling right into Suzu's arms who quickly catches her.

- Mahiru! Mahiru, are you okay!? Please answer me.

Suzu asks frenetically, worried as she holds the unconscious girl in her arms and slowly sits down on the floor with Mahiru in her arms.

Claudine is about to enter and help her, when she hears Mahiru whining and sees her hiding her face into Suzu's chest, gripping her jacket tightly, probably too embarrassed to even look at her nor say anything coherent.

Claudine slowly moves away from the scene, giggling at her cute and awkward friends to keep walking through the hallways towards her practice room.

She's almost reaching her practice room, when she passes by another one, seeing a short pink haired girl and her inseparable and cheeky blue haired companion inside it and in complete silence.

Claudine arches an eyebrow at this and pauses, hiding behind the wall to observe how the both of them stare at one another intensely as if they were in a staring contest. She then notices Futaba slowly getting closer to Kaoruko, obliging her to go back until her back hits the walk behind her.

Kaoruko, far from protesting, just leans against the wall and grins as Futaba keeps shortening their distance and cups her cheek ever gently.

Claudine sees how they keep staring into one another's eyes intensely while their faces get closer.

- It's about time you two finally kiss.

She mutters to herself, almost guilty at witnessing such an affective display between the both of them.

She's about to leave them alone, when she notices the both of them turning their faces and averting their eyes completely embarrassed as a hard blush adorn both of their faces.

Claudine has to bite her lip and cover her mouth with both of her hands, quickly hurrying away from the door to prevent herself from laughing at her friends, advancing through the hallway to let out a loud laugh, before she takes a deep breath to calm herself and wipe the corner of her eyes.

She shakes her head amused and continues with her walking to finally reach her practice room.

- It took you long.

A deep voice greets her and Claudine can't help but click her tongue as she enters the room, seeing Maya by the wall with her bottle of water in hand.

- Sorry, I just came across something rather interesting happening in other practice rooms.

Maya arches an eyebrow at this, before she talks again.

- Care to share? – she asks her tilting her head curiously and Claudine can only smirk.

- Of course.

She says as she approaches her, leaving her bottle of water on the bench where Maya just left hers, to then corner and push Maya against the wall behind them, slamming the space next to Maya's head with her hand.

Maya opens her eyes surprised at the bold movement, causing Claudine to smirk confidently at her successful kabedon, before she sees Maya smirking back at her, taking her free hand in hers while placing her other hand on her waist to reverse their positions and pin her against the wall, trapping her between it and her body.

Claudine can't help but gasp, both surprised and angered at the action.

- You saw something rather interesting, ma Claudine.

Maya whispers in Claudine's ear as the ash-blonde blushes reluctantly and gets angry in equal parts, releasing herself from Maya's soft hold to push her aside and go to take her belongings, hiding her stubborn blush from the brunette not wanting to admit her defeat, neither how her kabedon failed.

- Honnêtement, you're truly infuriating – she mumbles, her back turned to Maya so she can't see the hard blush still tinting her cheeks.

- I'm truly are, am I not? – Maya comments amusedly as she giggles and hugs the ash-blonde from behind, leaving a kiss on her bare shoulder as she feels her slowly relaxing in her embrace.

- You truly are.

Claudine sighs as she turns around to squeeze Maya's cheeks in revenge and then steal a kiss from her, making Maya giggle funnily.

Maybe she failed in her attempt of kabedoning her, but at least she succeed in making her giggle and steal a kiss from her, so she still won.
