Chapter Text
It was almost Valentine’s day, that cheesy holiday where you get your significant other flowers or chocolate and just have a grand old time together. Some people take it very seriously, and others do not.
Miu’s always had a soft spot for the holiday, sure when she wasn’t seeing anyone she would say “Stop fucking on Valentine’s day, we already have the best November baby right here!” and other derogatory things about the day. Despite her outward attitude, deep down she wanted to feel special on that day. It’s not that she truly means all the things she says, she just needed to feel better than how she actually views herself. That would be a day where she could show her more romantic and vulnerable side rather than her foul-mouthed and cocky persona.
This would be Miu and Kaede’s first Valentine’s day together since they got together, and Miu was panicking on what to do. She felt she needed to impress Kaede or else she’d be upset the day wasn’t lovely and she might even leave her.
“-The fuck do I do!” Miu groaned to herself, head buried deep in her arms that rested on the lab table.
“I have a way with words, but not something Bakamatsu would want to hear, I can’t play piano, I can’t do shit but make or upgrade junk! Wait, maybe I could make her boobs bigger!” Miu laughed.
“Nah, I’m not a saint. Besides, I could only do that to Keebo cause he ain’t a person. She probably wouldn’t even like me anymore as she could just feel her own tits rather than mine!”
After Miu was done talking to herself with ridiculous ideas, she decided to just sit in silence for a minute.
“Y’know, if I go to get a whiff of Kaede, I think my brain will be working again, maybe I can record her saying something useful and get off to it later. Ha, genius move!” Miu grabbed a small recorder she had and placed it in between her “great big beautiful tits”.
She left her lab and headed into the school’s main hall where she saw Shuichi.
“Hey Pooichi, have you seen the super hot babe anywhere?”
“Hello Miu.” He replied, as dry as he possibly could have.
“Hey, why are you acting so pissy? Did I steal your girl or something?” She smirked.
“Don’t answer that we all know the answer. Anyway, you’re a detective right? Tell me where she fucking is before I suck you off!”
“From what I can deduce, she’s probably in her lab. She’s been spending more time there recently.” Shuichi replied, not wanting to get Miu going even more. He failed
“I wonder how you know that you fucking creep, stop stalking her!” She got up close to him and heavily put a hand on his shoulder, like she was slapping him.
“Miu!” He yelped.
“Sike, no hard feelings! Unless you got a hard on from me being this close to you, let’s check…” Miu moved her hand off his shoulder and Shuichi pushed her back.
“You’re such a bummer Pooichi, smell ya later in my toilet.” She walked away and Shuichi stood in place and sighed.
“That girl will never learn…”
Miu continued her way to Kaede’s research lab, stopping as she approached the door. She heard something from inside the lab, piano. Kaede must have been practicing. Miu waited until the music died down to step inside, turning on the recorder before she touched the handle and entered.
“Who is it?” Kaede spoke before turning around, she looked low-spirited, but her face quickly lit back up when seeing her girlfriend.
“Miu! I’m so glad you’re here!” The girl got up and went to hug the other, Miu pulling her into an embrace and making sure to be careful of the device she had on her.
“Who wouldn’t be, I light up the fucking room! Look at you now, you’re beaming!” Miu grinned at her but continued after “Pooichi told me you’ve been spending a bunch of time in here, are you doing alright? Or are you just having a little alone time if you know what I mean.”
“Miu, no.” Kaede rolled her eyes and continued as she sat back down on her piano bench. “I just want to get this song down to perfection, it’s my favorite.”
“What’s it called?”
“Clair de Lune, it’s by Claude Debussy.”
“Debussy? Ha ha! Are you sure he didn’t just add ‘-ussy’ to the end just to be funny?”
“If it helps you sleep at night then sure.” Kaede gestured to her to sit down next to her.
Miu sat next to her “Don’t mind if I do. Can you play it for me? No pressure of anything.” Miu got a light blush on her face, thinking of how talented Kaede was.
Kaede smiled and nodded at Miu, taking a sigh before playing.
Miu watched her move her fingers with grace, her back straight, and eyes closed with concentration. Kaede’s probably played this song so many times she can do it with them closed with no problems. Miu also closed her eyes halfway through instead of looking at Kaede to focus on the music.
As the music went into Miu’s ear, she had a picture play out in her mind. It was of her and Kaede alone on a date under the night sky. Everything felt so romantic and peaceful. Perhaps this is what she needed, to clear her head instead of letting the stress build up inside of her back at her lab.
As Kaede finished, Miu opened her eyes to see Kaede staring at her piano keys, mouth over her hands and eyes wide. She noticed Miu staring and turned to her and grabbed her hands.
“I did it! That was perfect… Thank you so much for being here, I think your presence really helped ease my nerves.”
“I didn’t do shit Kaediot. That was all you, and I’m so fucking lucky you’re my girlfriend.”
Kaede giggled “You were my moral support and helped me stop stressing out, but I’m really proud of myself.”
“You helped me too…” Miu mumbled under her breath, lightly blushing from the intimate moment they were having.
Kaede didn’t hear, and went in for a soft kiss. Miu kissed her back gently.
“I love you Miu.” Kaede softly spoke just after their lips departed each other.
“Yeah, me too.” Miu couldn’t help snapping back, then spoke softly, face blushing profusely the more she spoke. “But, to be honest…” Miu looked at the floor before continuing. “I-I your… kiss is like music. When you k-kiss me… It feels like how your music sounds…” Miu trailed off after getting her point across.
Kaede blushed at this, shocked by Miu’s words.
“You mean it? Wow I’m… surprised it was something you said, that was so lovely.”
Miu backtracked. “Cause y’know you’re so fucking hot and shit and your fingers do the dirty work at piano and at-”
“Miu, it’s okay. I like this.” Kaede rested her head against Miu’s shoulder.
Miu couldn’t respond, she couldn’t force out anything she’d usually say, and she was already flustered and embarrassed enough. They sat in silence, a comfortable silence, before Miu excused herself to leave to go finish her work. She now had an idea for Kaede’s present.
