Work Text:
It was past midnight. Miko had a great time playing by the lake, but it appeared as though the God of Comedy was favoring her each day. Again, Miko tripped, she fell into the lake. Fortunately, it wasn't too deep. She laughed it off and then turned her gaze to the sky. The dark night passed by as the sun began to rise. She looked at her watch. Her warm smile beamed widely across her face, because she remembered her beloved business partner was going to visit today.
Miko got out of the lake to the surface, then she strolled back, silhouetted against the sunlight, glistening wet all over. The wet dress flattened out over her chest and hips, making her feel colder. She then untied the hair tie, letting her long hair hang loose.
"Guess I have to shower again. How clumsy of me to fall into the lake at this hour."
"I will be quick before Sui-chan comes."
The blazing midday sun shone relentlessly. The sunlit building reflected the hot blue sky. Suisei passed through the main gate accompanied by Miko’s personal maid. Behind the gate, it was the garden where it could be seen opposite of the fence. She walked down to the garden. She was taken aback by the scent of the flowers, as their fragrance was powerful and intoxicating.
There she arrived at Sakura Miko’s new house; it was an elegant yet modern building. The level of space was suitable to house five people, and with a garden of flowers surrounding it, the whole scene gave off an atmosphere that made it look like a castle.
Suisei drowned in thought… It would be nice if Shiraken could have sleepovers here sometimes.
Suisei eventually made it to the house's main entrance. She looked up after suddenly sensing something. There was a balcony over the entrance on the second floor. The balcony's inner hall was the source of the noise. Then a shadow could be seen moving toward a balcony. Hurried footsteps appeared above her. So, Suisei took three steps back to make sure who it was.
Suisei was immediately approached by a bright pink, she couldn’t help but squint her eyes. The girl followed her momentum and jumped onto the railing. Her long hair danced like a harp in tune. Her face was childish yet beautiful. Using a baby to describe her would be most suitable. Certainly, it was none other than her business partner, Sakura Miko.
As for Miko, she leaned her body forward on the railing, looking out. She didn’t even notice that the person that she was waiting for was already below her. Miko placed a single knee on top of the railing. Suisei noticed this as she momentarily let out a small chuckle before turning her head aside.
The one who worried for Miko, was the maid who was looking at Miko from the same perspective as Suisei did.
“Sakura-sama! Don’t jump! We’re here!”
“Eh?”
Miko kept the same posture as she turned her head with the feeling of doubt. She finally noticed the maid that was looking at her, and beside the maid, there was a tall girl who was dressed in a black gown, the girl’s waist is cinched with a black belt. Her invisible cream stockings covered her knees; that gave her a very elegant appearance, standing in prominent contrast to her fair skin. Which Miko noticed as usual, very stylish, cute and cool Hoshimachi.
Suisei got a feeling that Miko was observing her. She then looked up again, smiling and waving her hand. Miko then evaluated her own appearance and the way she was standing. Suisei could see Miko’s face slowly turning red.
“Ah…? Uwaaah… “
“Kyaaaaaa…!!”
Suddenly, the sounds of embarrassment changed into a loud scream. Suisei saw Miko lose her balance and start falling from the second-floor. Anyone who wasn't prepared at this moment wouldn't be able to take any action.
As her instinct kicked in, Suisei threw her own bag, then she dashed across, sliding towards Miko’s drop point. She opened her arms and waited, calmly catching Miko.
Like the impact of feathers, Miko landed in the embrace of Suisei. It looked like a princess carry.
Miko had no idea what had happened. Her eyes were tightly shut and her whole body was stiff. She thought it was the end, which it was not. Miko trembled as she opened her eyes and exchanged gazes with Suisei.
Suisei’s starry blue eyes radiated a sort of gravity that captivated Miko’s gaze. As they both gazed at each other, it unexpectedly evolved into a super-close posture. Everything else seemed to have disappeared from their vision. It felt like a spotlight was shining solely on them.
Miko slowly reached out her hand to caress Suisei’s cheek. Her peach-colored lips trembled, accompanied by a warm, sincere voice.
“Sui-chan… you came…”
“Of course, I promised you after all.”
“Anyway, Miko-chi…”
“Hmm?”
Suisei smiled, she held Miko even tighter, she pulled her closer and spoke in a soft whisper to Miko’s ear.
“I’ve finally caught you in my arms.”
Upon hearing that, Miko’s heart thumped. Also, Suisei’s smile was too dazzling, making Miko unable to take her eyes off the girl as she was mesmerized.
"Please... Don't let go of me."
"Don't worry I won't, but..."
"But...?"
Miko's attention jolted and focused on Suisei curious to hear what she would say.
"I wonder why you are so heavy. Did you gain weight?"
Miko's eyes widen, her face flushed with embarrassment. Miko actually anticipated hearing a romantic line from Suisei, since the mood was fitting for a romance. Too bad she didn't get her wish granted.
Of course, as expected, Suisei never missed her chance to tease Miko, not even once. The God of Comedy once again favors Miko. After that, she made a pout on her lips then punched Suisei's shoulder softly, while Suisei just started giggling.
The other day, surprisingly, Miko set a schedule for a Ring Fit Stream in the evening.
