Work Text:
After waiting for minutes which seemed like hours on end, the lunch bell finally rings. Students flock out of classrooms to their usual lunch spots and chat, while Nene Kusanagi just stays in her classroom seat, eating alone as usual.
If she's being honest, Nene didn't really care that she always sat alone in her classroom. She had an advantage anyway, and that advantage was to play games on her phone in peace. Nene then took out her lunch and ate most of it... But now it was her favourite part about lunchtime, her games.
Just as she was gonna take out her phone, she heard some knocking on her classroom window. Curious by the sudden sound, Nene looks over to the direction of the window, and her eyes widen immediately.
She saw her close friend Emu Otori, knocking on her classroom window. But wait, Nene's classroom is on the second floor... Meaning....
Oh no.
"E-Emu?!" She whispered loudly.
Nene then ran to the window, bursting it open.
"Hii Nene-chan!!" Emu cheered, happy to see her dear friend.
"How the hell did you reach my classroom?! Wait- did you climb?!"
"Hm... Maybeee!"
"W-What do you mean maybe— ah!" Emu interrupted Nene, falling onto her as she attempted to pull herself through the window.
"Wah! Sorry, Nene-chan! Are you hurt?!"
"Ow... Yeah, I'm fi..." Nene paused.
Nene's eyes widen instantly, because her and Emu's face are just inches apart. In seconds, her face turns bright crimson as she looks away flustered, burying her face in her hands.
"Weh? Nene-chan-? You okay?" Emu speaks in a worried tone, seeming to be ignoring the fact that she's quite close to Nene right now.
"T-Too... C-Close..." Nene muttered embarrassed.
"Hah? O-Oh! Haha, sorryyy!" Emu spoke in surprise, cheeks slightly covered in pink.
As Emu gets up, Nene lets out a sigh of relief. If they were in that position a little longer, someone would obviously see them, and the situation would only get more embarrassing than it already was.
"Anywayy! What do you have for lunch, Nene-chan?"
"...Before I answer that question, how the hell did you get to my classroom using the WINDOW?!"
"Oh, that's easy! I climbed!"
"W-What do you mean that's easy?! How did you even climb?!"
"I used my wonderhoyful Emu expertise!" Emu stated, her hands on her hips in a confident manner.
"Your wonderhoyful Emu expertise...? *sigh* The more I talk to you, the more confused I get..." Nene looked down at the floor slightly.
"Hehe! Now can you answer my questionn?"
"Eh? U-Uh, what was the question again?" Nene said, forgetting the question.
"I asked, what do you have for lunch, Nene-chan?"
Nene then looked over to her mostly-half eaten sandwich.
"Oh, I just have a sandwich, nothing special. It's kind of half-eaten though..."
"That's okay! Can I eat it?"
"Sure, I suppose... Just don't eat the parts I bit into."
"Aww, whyyy?" Emu whined slightly.
'Is this girl being serious...?' Nene thought in disbelief, refusing to believe how naive Emu is. (No offense Emu.)
"W-Well, it would be weird if you ate the parts I ate, don't you think?"
"Hmm? Weird? How so?"
After that sentence, Nene looked at Emu with her eyebrows slightly furrowed in disbelief.
'This is going to be so embarrassing to explain... But I rather explain then have Emu question why she can't eat that part of my sandwich.'
"Emu. H-Have you ever heard of an indirect kiss before?"
"Indirect kiss? What's that?" Emu's head tilted in confusion.
'Of course she doesn't know... Lord have mercy. Actually, how am I even supposed to explain this-?" Nene pondered.
'You know what, I'll just search it up and show Emu. This is gonna be far too difficult to explain on my own...'
Nene then took out her phone, searched it up, and showed it to Emu.
"T-This is what it is..."
Emu read it, and in an instant she understood somehow.
"Ohhhh! So that's what it is!" Emu spoke with her mouth full, as she just finished Nene's sandwich.
"Yeah... That."
...
Wait a moment.
If Emu just finished her sandwich, that must mean...
Oh dear.
A sudden wave of realization hit Nene, as she looks at Emu with red cheeks, and a shocked expression.
"Did- did you just finish my sandwich?!"
"Hehe... Maaaybe?" Emu shrugged with a playful expression.
"You weren't even listening to me, weren't you?"
"Sorry..." Emu looked down in guilt.
Nene didn't like seeing Emu guilty, so she tried to cheer her up.
"H-Hey, I'm not mad... So don't worry about it. I suppose— I guess it's fine..." Nene looked over to the side, still blushing by the fact that she basically just kissed Emu... It was indirect, but it still counts!
"Really? Phew! I thought Nene-chan was mad at meee!"
'Even if I tried, I could never be mad at you, Emu...' Nene thought.
"Can we go to the rooftop? Pretty pleaseee?" Emu pleaded, even though Nene would say yes anyway.
"Sure. Don't let any teachers see you though—" Then Emu grabbed Nene's hand, and ran towards the rooftop.
"Eh?! E-Emu! Slow down...!" Nene shouted, trying to keep up with Emu's speed.
After lots of running...
Now Emu & Nene were sitting on one of the rooftop benches, with Emu somehow not getting glances by other Kamiyama Highschool Students.
"G-Geez... You're fast, Emu." Nene breathed out, trying to catch her breath from passing her own speed limit.
"I know! No one can catch me~ ♪" Emu hummed.
"Anyway! I brought my lunch here, since I wanted to have lunch with you! Buut, you kinda ate your lunch alreadyy... Oh well! Wanna have some of my lunch?"
"No, I'm fine. I'm not that hungry anyway-" Emu then shoved a piece of sushi in Nene's mouth, interrupting her.
Nene let out a sigh, and continued to chew the piece of sushi in her mouth. She had to admit though, the sushi was quite delicious... Now she wants seconds, but is she shy to ask Emu? Of course she is. So she lets it go.
"You want seconds, don't you Nene-chan?" Emu speaks in a playful tone.
'How did she even— you know what, I guess Emu's always been good at reading peoples minds...'
Nene nodded shyly. But the next thing Emu was about to do made Nene completely embarrassed.
"Say aaaaaah!"
"H-Huh?! I'm not your child...!"
"Awe... But I want to feed Nene-chann..." Emu whined again.
"Please?" Emu pleaded.
"No." Nene said firmly.
'I won't be convinced by her again. Not this time.'
"Pretty pleaseee?"
"N-No."
Emu went close to Nene, with a cute look in her eye that Nene could never handle.
"Please Nene-channn? I promise it's just for a while!" Emu pleaded again, not giving up.
'D-Damn it Emu... I hate to admit it, but why do you have to be so-... Cute...?!' Nene pondered, her face slightly getting warmer.
"Gh... Fine... You can feed me. B-But just this once!"
"Yayyy! Open wide~ ♪" Emu sang.
Nene puts a strand of hair behind her ear, opening her mouth slightly while looking away shyly. She was expecting a sushi piece, but instead of that, she got a kiss from Emu. Of course being surprised, Nene makes a quiet noise of shock. She melts into the kiss though, as it was impossible to resist. The kiss was quite short, yet slightly passionate. They then break apart for air, breathing softly. That kiss made them wonder; who knew that a pair of lips could be so soft?
"Woww! I didn't expect you to kiss me back, Nene-chan!"
"Y-Yeah... I didn't think I would have it in me..."
Emu giggles, as she puts a piece of sushi in Nene's mouth.
"There you go! Now I wanna eat my share!" Emu says, as she shoves sushi pieces in her mouth.
'Oh Emu... You never change, do you? But... I'll never see that as a bad thing. Ever.' Nene thought, smiling with her mouth closed as she chews on the sushi piece.
Perhaps more surprises from Emu will come Nene's way, and if so, she'll make sure to cherish every single one.
