“Great job with the presentation! Please use Kokomi’s presentation as an example of what an A looks like in this course.” The professor announced it to the class.
Kokomi smiled and walked back to her seat.
Sara rolled her eyes, ever since her first semester in University of Tokyo she has had Kokomi at least in one course every semester. Every semester was the same. If she got a 99 out 100 in her assignment then kokomi naturally got a 100 out of 100.
At first Kujo saw her as friendly competition to make the semesters fun but in the end she came to a realization that Kokomi never saw her as a legitimate competition.
“And with that the class is wrapped up, we’ll continue presentations next time, see you then.” The professor dismissed them.
“Kokomi you have to revise my presentation now,” Gorou whined as he walked out alongside Kokomi.
Those two seemed to be attached at the hip, it wasn’t like they engaged in excessive pda on campus but Sara couldn’t bring herself to see why people said they were a good couple.
Sara checked her phone, Raiden had texted her about canceling their plans because of Yae Miko.
Sara sighed, she was looking forward to unwind with her best friend but now it looked like today she would have to revise her presentation and start on one of her papers that would be due soon.
If university had an upside it was that she was able to move out of her parents' place and get her own apartment.
As soon as he walked in her apartment she felt a sense of relief, her apartment was her own little safe zone.
She tossed her keys on the kitchen counter and walked to her bedroom. She let herself fall down on her bed.
She proceeded to stare at her white ceiling for a couple of minutes before she got up and proceeded to change into more comfortable clothes.
With nothing to do but her assignments she got straight to work, typing away on her laptop.
After typing for hours and the sun hid itself in the presence of the moon, Sara was reminded to eat, as her computer shut down as it's battery was drained.
Sara plugged her computer to its charger before she left to her kitchen to see what she could make and eat. She scanned her fridge but there wasn’t much to eat or enough ingredients to make a meal.
A downside to living alone is grocery shopping. It was so tedious that Sara ended up gaining weight from buying takeout food too much.
Sara grabbed her wallet and put on some slippers to go to the nearest combini to buy some food.
The combini store was two blocks away so in 10 minutes she was already in line to pay. She had grabbed a couple of onigiri and a bowl of ramen.
"Sweetie you should be eating better," the elderly owner lightly scolded her as she bagged up the items.
"It's not everyday," Sara smiled at her.
"Take care," the grandma waved her off as Sara walked away.
She was too hungry to wait so she started to eat her onigiri's on the way home.
When she got to her apartment she put water to boil as she took out an egg and cheese to compliment the Ramen.
In the meantime she went back to her laptop and unplugged it and brought it to the kitchen.
She was basically done with her paper; she only needed two more paragraphs and to revise it, so there was no reason to be lazy and procrastinate.
By the time her Ramen was ready she only needed one more paragraph.
She pushed her computer aside, not wanting to accidentally spill her food all over the device. As a habit of watching something while eating she went on an illegal website to watch an foreign show Yae had recommended to her.
After getting rid of all the pop-up ads the episode began.
If Sara was to be honest, Killing Eve was really good, not to mention the tension between the blonde and Eve was crazy.
She finished eating her bowl of Ramen before the episode ended. She tried to pause the episode since she didn't understand English well enough to hear it and follow along.
But trying to pause queued another set of pop-up ads.
Sara decided to put her dirty dishes in the sink first rather than sit there for a couple minutes trying to get rid of all of them.
After doing so she grabbed her laptop and went to her bedroom.
She sat down on her bed and tried to rewind what she had missed in the time she wasn't watching the screen.
The pop-up ads began and Sara started clicking away to close all the different sites that came up.
She was about to close the last ad but her eyes managed to catch a glimpse of someone with a familiar pair of eyes in black lingerie.
But it couldn't be ? Could it?
Sara mouse clicked on the video. It was a pornographic website so she must have been wrong on who she thought she saw.
The video came to life "I got this last Saturday. What do you guys think ?"
There was no way in hell Sara wouldn’t recognize this voice. It has to be none other than Kokomi.
Besides the lace lingerie she was wearing, she was wearing a black mask covering most of her face. Her pink hair was hidden behind a black short wig. Coins chimed in constantly.
“Since it's been a tough Monday, this is your reward, make sure to enjoy this properly.” Kokomi played with a bra strap, teasing in removing the skimpy layer and showing even more skin.
As soon as she said that a storm of coins were donated. Sara had to wonder how the coin currency worked, did kokomi make good money? It sure seemed like she did,including herself there were 900 viewers watching her stream.
“Please remove your bra,” a comment popped up as the user, boobiesformepls gave kokomi 100,000 coins.
“Thank you for the coins! I’ll do it quickly since you asked so nicely,” Kokomi replied as she proceeded to do as the comment asked.
Sara quickly shut her laptop, her heart was racing, god why was kokomi so willing to do that?
Sara had to fight the urge to open her laptop again to catch a glimpse.
Sara shook her head as put her laptop aside and got under her bed covers. Stumbling into that website was a mistake but maybe she could use this to her advantage. With that she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

“I’m telling you raiden it was her,”
“What were you even doing on those types of sites anyways?” Raiden bit into a red bean bun as they walked into campus.
“I’m telling you it was on that illegal tv show website that led me there.”
“Mm okay, did you atleast leave her a tip?”
“What? I was supposed to ?” Sara stopped in her tracks as she turned to look at her best friend.
“I mean you watched the show, might as well pay for what you saw, no?”
“ I didn’t see anything it was just like a couple minutes, plus she was just in lingerie,”
Raiden raised her eyebrows at her and turned away.
“Fine, if I see her on campus I'll tip her.”
“Isn’t that a bit awkward? Why don't you just do it in one of her streams like a normal person?”
“I’m not planning on watching again,” Sara shook her head, it was too dangerous. She almost peeked at Kokomi's boobs and she didn’t even leave a tip! Not to mention watching a fellow classmate's nsfw stream is kinda creepy and weird.
“Well good luck with that, I gotta run,” Raiden waved her off.
Sara waved back, she didn't have any class with kokomi today, which would make it harder for them to run into each other. This gave her a bit of anxiety, If they didn't run into each other today and she tipped her tomorrow what if the show she does tonight requires a higher tip?
Luckily she only has one class, and she could look for Kokomi right after class.
By the time her class ended Sara was ready to take a nap, that professor always managed to make the whole lecture hall sleepy.
On her way to buy cheap coffee from a vending machine she just happened to bump into none other than the steamer.
"Oh Sara, I'm sorry." Kokomi apologized.
Sara glanced up and down checking out Kokomi's outfit. She had a cute pink crop top, for a second her eyes rested on her tiddies.
If only she had peeked then she would know how Kokomi's boobs looked like. She bet they're were pretty and prefect, just like everything else about Kokomi.
Before her line of thoughts continued she remembered to look away to not act like a man.
" 'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." Sara replied as she reached for her wallet in her bag.
To think she was stressing out an hour ago about not bumping into her.
Campus wasn't small at all but at times it sure felt like it.
"It's okay, see you in class tomorrow." Kokomi offered her a small smile.
"Wait," Sara grabbed onto her wrist as she pulled out a 1,000 yen bill (9 dollars).
"Oh please you don't have to do this," Kokomi flat out rejected the money. Sara doing this made Kokomi look like a bully.
"Oh no this isn't about bumping into you," Sara quickly explained.
"Then ?"
"First I have to say, does he know?"
"Does who know? About what."
"Gorou. Your boyfriend, does he know…"
"Gorou isn't my boyfriend. He literally has a boyfriend and I'm literally…. But what does he know about what ?"
They weren't dating??
That was a bit of a shock.
A sense of relief seemed to flush over her, "Oh nevermind, just here take the money."
"Don't never mind me, do I look poor to you or what is this?" Kokomi furrowed her eyebrows.
Sara sighed she fucked up the whole conversation.
"Uhm stream..I kinda saw your stream only for a couple minutes and I swear it was accidental and I left before you flashed the viewers your…" Sara trailed off as he glanced down at Kokomi's boobies.
Kokomi processed what Sara was saying and saw her blushing face momentarily glancing at her boobs. It was cute that she thought 1,000 yen would make her stop streaming.
"I see, well I just stream for fun I don't really need your 1,000 yen" kokomi chuckled as she pushed the bill back to its owner.
"No, I'm, I'm not trying to stop you, I'm tipping you.." Sara wanted the earth to open up and swallow her hole.
Kokomi bursted out laughing, she knew Sara was cute but she didn't know she was this cute.
"But you left before you saw anything, plus you don't have to tip, simply watching is cool." Kokomi shook her head, thinking why didn't Sara just tip her anonymously ? Did she not know how to work the website? Was this her shooting her shot?
"I-" Sara tried to explain or put into words the look Raiden gave her earlier that day.
"Anyways, are you busy?" Kokomi smiled, Sara was finally making a move, she couldn't let an opportunity like this go.
Not when Sara was boosting her hp, when she had lost so much energy in her lectures.
"Yeah I am why?" Sara finally looked kokomi eye to eye, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Confused Sara, how cute. +10 hp
"Let's go eat lunch, I'm starving, my class was so boring." Kokomi grabbed Sara's hand and started to walk towards the cafeteria.
Sara followed Kokomi trying to process everything that had just happened and how their hands seem to be intertwined together.
Sara had come up with a plan to blackmail Kokomi and somehow make it work but in the end they were holding hands.
"So what, what class did you have?"
"American literature makes me want to blow my brains out, I love to read but it has to be good you know ?" Kokomi ranted as they entered the cafeteria.
They might not be friends but Sara knew Kokomi loved to read before she told her. Kokomi carried a book with her almost at all times, at first she thought she did it to be snobby but in fact the books she carried weren't classics or well known books.
"I see, do you have any recommendations?"
"Yea I do! My favorite at the time is “A legend of sword!” The author is anonymous and the original text is in Chinese but I love it, it's about this war general and - “
Before Sara even knew it she was sitting down next to Kokomi and all her friends.
“And then Thoma,” Ayaka continued with whatever story she was telling.
“Are you alright? Is this a bit too much?” Kokomi asked as he gently squeezed her hand, their hands were still interlocked and hidden under the table.
“Yeah yeah,” Sara reassured her. In all truth she always wanted to get close to everyone Kokomi hung out with, they all seemed like cool people. The only problem was she felt a bit out of place.
In fact everything was weird, why were they holding hands? Why were they eating lunch together? and why was she sitting around strangers for no good reason?
“But I should go,” Sara pulled her hand away.
“What? Why?” Kokomi tilted her head slightly.
“I just have to go,” Sara stood up.
“Wait hold on,” Kokomi stood up after her. Kokomi wondered if she was feeling overwhelmed.
“Is something wrong?” Gorou asked, bringing the attention to the two girls.
“Not at all, I'm going to walk her out.” Kokomi smiled as intertwined her hand with Sara’s again.
Everyone in the friend group exchanged glances with one another, Sara couldn’t decipher those looks even if she spent the whole day analyzing them.
“See yeah Sara,” Gorou winked at her before the group resumed to chatter.
The wink left her puzzled.
“Was it too much?” Kokomi asked as they walked in the hallway.
“It’s all just random,” Sara admitted.
Kokomi raised her eyebrow as she heard what the other said.
“Really how so?” Kokomi walked into the girl’s bathroom.
“I mean holding hands, hanging out with you and your friends, all I did was tip you and this all is just so random? Do you hold hands with everyone that tips you?”
“No, I've never met a fan, but it's different because it's you.”
I'm not a fan, Sara thought to herself.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Sara pulled her hand away again and leaned against the row of sinks.
“It’s cause I like you, I thought you would have noticed earlier and when you tipped me I thought that was your way of making a move on me, so I held you hand to let you know that I want to be-”
“Wait, What ? You like me? Are you shitting my dick ?
“What does shitting my dick mean?”
Sara shook her head, she had been seeing too much tik tok lately. “How can you say you like me when you never even saw me as a serious rival?”
“What do you mean? I took you seriously. In fact I was hoping we would get together through a spicy scenario, like you getting upset and pushing me against the wall and then -”
“Stop, oh my god stop,” Sara urged
Blushing Sara +20 hp, Kokomi thought to herself.
“Ok but really, You’ve been pushing me to do my best all this time, what impression gave you otherwise?”
“I don’t know, I heard someone say you didn’t give it your all anymore because I would always be second to you.”
“You know how rumors work, you shouldn't have believed that or you should have confronted me about it and then I could be the one pushing you against the wall and then stare at your cute pinkish lips and then lick my own lips and then-”
“Okay that’s enough,” Sara placed her finger on Kokomi’s lips. God Kokomi was such a flirt.
“So are we good?” Kokomi grabbed Sara’s hand and smiled at her.
“I guess?”
“Great, we are going to be the campus couple now, is that cool with you?”
Was this the correct way of getting a girlfriend?
Probably not.
But who was Sara to complain?
“Uh yeah,” Sara’s lips shifted into a small smile.
“Thank god,” Kokomi closed the space in between them. Their lips met one another in a slightly rushed manner.
“OH MY GOD SARA?!”
