Chapter Text
While it wasn’t late, the Fall was marching on, the days getting ever shorter as the sun sunk in the sky earlier every day. Olive had snuck out to the field, huddling up on the bleachers to read for a little while. It was chilly, but she didn’t mind how quiet the space was, especially as she was already naturally warmer than most. She’d been out there for maybe half an hour before she heard a familiar voice.
“Hey, Olive!” Came the familiar chirp of Maps Mizoguchi, making her way over with something between a jog and a skip.
“Oh, heyy…” Olive trailed off a little, setting down her book.
“I know you come out here to like,
be
alone and stuff but… You looked kinda lonely?”
“Heh, thanks.” The taller girl spoke softly, leaning back as Maps sat down next to her. “I just got kinda… Sick of being around people?”
“Oh, uhm, I can go if you want…” The shorter teen mumbled softly.
“Actually- I’d rather you stay.” She smiled. “Y’know- if you’re already here.” She hastily added.
“Alrighty.”
Maps gave olive a cute smile, with only a hint of smugness as she settled down next to Olive, fishing her notebook out of her bag to start drawing. The two sat for a while, Olive starting to feel a little drowsy. She closed her book again, maybe an hour after they’d settled down, eyes fluttering open and closed, a small yawn escaping her. Without much thought, she snuggled up next to Maps, leaning her head on the other’s shoulder as she was dozing off. Maps let out a small squeak, turning to see the white-haired girl leaning against her. While her cheeks quickly started to warm up, she returned to drawing, snuggling up herself against the other’s warmth.
