Chapter Text
The next day came around, Kanade woke up in the arms of her girlfriend, who was still sleeping. The sun was shining though the curtains in the room. Kanade checked the time on her phone.
7:00am. It was 7:00am. That should be enough time to get ready to meet up with Mizuki and Ena.
Kanade felt Mafuyu moving as she also opened to eyes to see Kanade.
"Good morning Kanade..." Mafuyu said tiredly. Kanade smiled.
"Good morning Mafuyu." She said. "We should um, get ready to meet up with the others, we only have so much time before we need to be there."
"But I want to stay like this for a little longer..."
Mafuyu held Kanade a little tighter. I guess it couldn't be helped as they were gonna be apart for the day, and Mafuyu tends to be pretty clingy when it comes to Kanade even if right now their communication isnt that great.
Kanade almost got upset at the fact that even though this moment is sweet for them. It still makes Kanade a little upset as she's not sure what's going on in Mafuyu's mind right now. Well she's cuddling her thats for sure but is she upset at Kanade? Does she think Kanade is upset with her? Does Mafuyu feel depressed again?
Or does Mafuyu not love her anymore...?
Snap out of it. Don't think about it right now.
This is suppose to be a day about taking a break. NOT sulking about what's gonna happem afterwards.
"Kanade? Are you okay?" Asked Mafuyu
Kanade snapped back to reality after Mafuyu questioned the composer.
"Yeah, I was thinking about what to do with Ena today. We should probaly get up now."
"Alright." She said. "Just making sure."
"I promise everything is fine okay?" Kanade kissed on Mafuyu's forehead thinking to herself that Wow I can't believed I just lied to my own girlfriend....
After some reasuring that she's okay, the couple got out of bed, and got ready to meet up with Mizuki and Ena.
...
It was quite busy at Scramble Crossing with many people going about with their daily lives. Meanwhile the Nightcord members all met up nearby and on time.
"Yahoo everyone!!" Said Mizuki who was with Ena.
"Hello everyone.." Said Kanade who arrived with Mafuyu.
"I'm surprised you manage to make it on time Kanade. Did Mafuyu wake you up?" Asked Ena.
"No, Kanade kind of woke me up instead." Said Mafuyu.
Kanade blushed out of embaressment. "Y-yeah..."
"Hehe, it's like the roles reversed. Isn't that right Enanan~?"
Ena sighed.
"I suppose. Should we get this started?"
"We should" Mizuki replied. "So we should be at seprate parts of town and since me and Enanan planned a lot to do we should be distracted until we have to meet up in the evening! I think now would be a good time to split up to have as much time as needed."
"Okay! Just call us if you need anything guys!" Said Ena.
"Alright! We will!" Said Mizuki. "Byebye!"
"Goodbye Kanade and Ena..." Said Mafuyu.
They all said their goodbyes to eachother as Ena and Kanade headed off.
"So Ena, we are we going first?" Asked Kanade .
"We're gonna spend the morning at the mall first. Apparently when me and Mizuki were planning what to do today she was gonna take Mafuyu to the mall but I want to do the same with you and we kind of argued for a bit about it until we came up with the soulution that one of us takes the other during the morning while in the afternoon its the same thing, it really was an easy solution."
"Easy solution huh..?" Said Kanade.
"Yep!"
I wonder if it would be that easy for me and Mafuyu....
Kanade is out of it again...
Shit no!!
Ena noticed that Kanade looked a little destressed after saying that.
"Hm? Kanade? Are you okay?"
"Ughh, yeah I was kind of thinking about Mafuyu just now..." Kanade said.
"Ah...I see" Said Ena. "Don't worry, it's gonna be alright, well talk about the plan for talking to Mafuyu about this later during lunch alright?"
Kanade felt a little better after hearing Ena's words.
"Thank you Ena...lets make the most of the day alright?"
"Yep! And we are almost at the mall!" Ena pointed ahead to the direction of the mall.
Did they have a good morning? They did indeed. Ena made Kanade try on some new outfits, got Kanade new clothes and accessories. Ena even found a cute little bunny night light for Kanade's room. And by the time it was lunch time, Kanade was carrying 4 bags of items on her.
.....
Mafuyu and Mizuki we're eating their lunch at a resturant. Mafuyu ended up ordering the same thing as Mizuki, which was curry. On the floor besides them there was a bag of arcade and claw machine prizes they won from the arcade Mizuki took Mafuyu to. There was some Sanrio plushes, some merch from an anime that Mizuki watches, and some other random merch and prizes.
Mafuyu's attention turned to Mizuki as she started talking to her.
"So Mafuyu...tell me how things are going with Kanade." Mizuki asked.
Mafuyu thought for a minute. How are things going with Kanade? Well there has been some problems here and there but overall everything is okay...?
"Um, I guess its fine?" Mafuyu said, she really wasn't sure anymore. Its going well but there's something missing...
"Ah is that so? I feel like you want to add on, is that the case?" Mizuki asked.
"Yes I do, but..."
Mizuki thinked for a second and then got an idea.
"Has there been any conflicts? Is Kanade upsetting you?"
That's it.
"Yes." She replied.
"Is that so? Have you been telling Kanade how you feel?" Mizuki then asked.
Mafuyu thought for a moment. HAVE I been telling Kanade how I feel recently...? I guess not. But why? Am I scared that I will upset Kanade? If that's so, why...?
"Um...no?" Mafuyu replied
Mizuki was taken aback for a moment. "What do you mean no?"
"Well um, I'm not sure how to describe this but I feel like I'm gonna only trouble Kanade with how I feel and upset her..."
"Really Mafuyu?"
"It's true. We do try to at least resolve things but I only feel more upset when something happens again and I just kind of gave up telling Kanade my feelings."
Wait did Mafuyu really said that? Even she was surprised that she manage to say all that. Was this how she really feels right now. If that's so then now she feels bad for doing all that just because she can't let Kanade get upset.
Meanwhile Mizuki was sitting there, thinking about everything that Mafuyu just told her, she needed to figure out how to guide Mafuyu for when Kanade has to talk to her later about their current relationship issues.
Mizuki took in a deep breath and started talking.
"Well I understand how you feel. There's some things that I keep from Ena because I'm mostly scared she's gonna judge me or get upset, but Ena has always told me that she will never get upset but instead help me with whatever is troubling me in our relationship. I know it's scary for you Mafuyu, but this communication to Kanade about how you feel in a relationship is important for the relationship itself if you know what I mean."
Mafuyu took time to take in what Mizuki just told her. It was something that she much needed to hear.
"Mizuki..."
"Trust me Mafuyu, I know Kanade won't get upset, I know Kanade wants to do as much as she can to make your guys relationship work out, aaand esspecially since you guys are living like a married couple~"
Well, Mizuki wasn't wrong about that but Mafuyu was wondering, has she really caused damage to the relationship in some way.
Now she feels bad. She never wants to cause this much trouble and she knows that whatever she's doing is making Kanade worry about her and she loves her dear Kanade too much...
"I didn't know this was causing so much trouble..."
"Well thats okay! The first part of fixing things is admitting to what you did wrong and fixing it so you can be a better girlfriend to Kanade in the future."
"Is there anyway you can help me with that?" Asked Mafuyu
"Yep! I'll tell you everything you need to know!"
Mizuki and Mafuyu spent the next 30 minutes of their lunch discussing about everything that had to do with Mafuyu's issue about communication, there was a lot of things that were much needed to be said and heard and things that will help Mafuyu later to talk things out with Kanade about their relationship.
...
The rest of the afternoon went fast with Mizuki and Mafuyu going to the mall after lunch and Kanade and Ena going around town and checking out small shops and pulling on random gachas and the evening came faster then expected and it came time for the Nightcord group to meet up for dinner.
Mizuki and Mafuyu met back up with Kanade and Ena at where they were this morning.
"Hellooo everyone!" Said Mizuki. "I see you guys got a lot of stuff too!"
"But diffenently not as much as you!"
Mafuyu added on to the converstation "Ena, you have 3 bags in each hand."
"Okay well that may be true but look at you and Mizuki! You guys have a huge Sanrio plush!"
Mizuki looked at the huge plush Ena was talking about. "Oh this? We won this at a claw machine~!"
"No shit you did..."
"It's okay Enanan, I got something for you here okay?"
Kanade and Mafuyu watched as the other couple in front of them talk about the stuff they had gotten for eachother. One of them at least thought that Man I wish our relationship can be like that.
After watching the couple talk and talk one of them had to atleast say something about going to eat dinner. "Uhum. Guys I think we should start walking to the family diner." Kanade said, clearly tired from walking all day despite how many breaks Ena gave Kanade for being tired.
"Ah, we should go now." Suggested Ena.
"Well then lets go!" Said Mizuki and she ran off .
"W-wait for us!!!" Ena ran after Mizuki. "You can't just leave us here!! Kanade is too tired!!"
Kanade laughed a little and then turned to Mafuyu. "We should follow them..." Mafuyu then nodded her head at Kanade and so Kanade took her partners hand and started walking, eventually catching up with the rest of the group.
The rest of the evening went alright with everyone. The dinner at the family resturant went good and all the Nightcord at 25:00 members had a good time having a fun double date with eachother and enjoying themselves after having a break from their relationships for the day. Eventually the fun did have to come to an end but Kanade convincex everyone else that it would be a good idea to have something like this again next month as it was a good idea afterwards, but now it was time for the talk with Mafuyu after they both came home...
