Ena pulled her hair up, making sure to secure it tightly to not fall out. Her hair liked to be stubborn, which usually pissed her off more. She was trying to paint, not dye her hair.
“You look a lot more mature with a ponytail, you know that?” Mizuki commented. Ena turned toward her screen to give them a face of annoyance.
“What, I’m not usually?” Ena returned.
“No no it’s not that, you just look..um I don’t know, hotter?” Mizuki added, trying to defend themselves from the sudden Ena snark. Which backfired. What was this, give Ena as many compliments as possible then get embarrassed yourself?
“And again, I’m not usually?” Ena repeated. She snickered. Despite how Mizuki sounded, they knew how to handle Ena and her remarks. Ena herself was doing good at hiding her reaction to Mizuki’s compliments.
Mizuki laughed, adjusting their bow. “God I’ve really screwed this up haven’t I?” They put their head on the table for a second. “Anymore and I’m digging my own grave.” they let out a long groan. It was probably 4am, and despite Nightchord at 25:00 having finished an hour ago, the two stayed up. Why? Because Mizuki wanted to.
“You were already but go off I guess.” Ena commented. When Mizuki gave no response she shook her head. “I’m kidding.”
“Oh I know! The Ena I know would never say such cruel things!” They said with very obvious sarcasm. The tiredness was getting to them. At least they could just skip school tomorrow. An could wait to see them again.
“I will end this call.” Ena stopped painting to stare at the camera yet again.
“You won’t.” Mizuki smirked, finally pulling their own hair down.
Both of them burst into laughter just then. Ena decided to take down her ponytail in the end, only getting about a quarter or a painting down, and they eventually got off at 6am. But not without an “I love you Enanan.” from Mizuki.
And an “I love you too Amia.” From Ena, cause y’know, can’t leave them hanging.
