It had been a dark quiet night , with only owls being heard hooting outside the windows . Kokoa had been composing in her room , reflecting on certain things . Well .. Mostly about the thought of dating a girl . It didn't make sense in her head . Who would date a girl like her ? Is it all because of her appearance ? Or that fake sweet voice she puts on for the public to seem more polite ? The girl wasn't sure as her long white hair fell to the side of her hips . Had she made the right choice ? Surely she did . She was much happier deep down . Being able to have somebody to exchange her issues with felt like a stress reliefer . But still . Something just felt off , and Kokoa couldn't figure it out as she looked down at her hair and held the tips in her hands .
" .. Should I cut it ? "
Kokoa had spoke to herself as she used her fingers to snip at her hair like if they were a pair of scissors . Of course over time she eventually left her room and went to her bathroom so she could get a proper look of herself in the mirror . As she looked at her reflection , she couldn't help but feel slightly disgusted at herself . Was it the weight she gained ? Or just her entire appearance itself ? Her mind was spiraling all over the place . She shouldn't be thinking of bad things about herself , she's simply to young to start worrying about her appearance . She was getting in her head to much . But she didn't know how to stop . How can she make it stop ?
*DING*
Kokoa's eyes quickly looked down at her phone , seeing a notification from her .. girlfriend ? Oh that's right . Kokoa has a girlfriend . She must have been in her head for so long that she forgot reality existed . Despite Kokoa being in a quite depressing state , it wouldn't hurt to see what Hayate had wanted , right ?
As the girl looked at her phone she had saw that Hayate had sent her some type of video . Of course out of curiosity Kokoa opened it . And to her surprise it was a video of a cat in some type of loaf position . At the sight of it Kokoa was confused on why Hayate would send her something like that , but she found it kind of funny . Causing her to silently giggle at her phone before pausing for a brief moment .
`` Hey , Hayate ? ``
Kokoa had texted .
`` ? ``
Hayate had replied .
`` .. Would you mind me coming over ? My dad isn't home , so he wouldn't really notice .. and I kinda just need comfort rn . ``
Kokoa had stated bluntly .
`` Of course , Kokoaa ~ ♡ . But im quite surprised you would want to see me this late .. ``
Hayate replied .
Kokoa didn't really bother texting back , but instead quickly tried getting all her things together .. Hayate and her had only been dating for a few weeks ... Would it be weird to pack a toothbrush and possibly stay the night ? Eugh .. the thought of sharing a bed with her girlfriend made her heart skip a beat and her face heat up . Surely it wouldn't ! Besides ... couples sleep over eachothers houses all the time ! .. This shouldn't be weird . Kokoa sighed before entering her room and packing a small bag with just a spare of clothes , a tooth brush , and her favorite baby pink fluffy blanket .
She quickly put her white hair in 2 small half up twin tails and with a small pastel pink hair clip on her bangs , making it kinda look like a side bang . Despite her hair being cutesy , she was wearing pink pajamas with baby ducks on them . They were quite childish .. but comfort matters more than style . She had put on these white bunny slippers before taking her bag and walking out of the house and heading her way to her girlfriends house .
Finally Kokoa had arrived to her girlfriends house , but why did she feel so nervous ? This isn't the first time she's been over . Maybe it was the fact that she didn't think of how to ask Hayate if she could stay over . But whatever , shes already here .
Kokoa huffed before knocking on the girls front door and got a pretty fast response , causing her to slightly flinch at the sight of her girlfriend . Infact she wasn't wearing and type of pajamas . Just a oversized shirt and shorts .. How improper ..
Despite the strange sleepwear Hayate had on , Kokoa was quickly greeted with a small peck on her forehead and then pulled into a very big hug . Kokoa had felt her cheeks warm up , which was strange .. Hayate has always been affectionate like this .. Why couldn't she simply get rid of that jumpy feeling each time it happens ?
" Haahh ... Kokoaa ~ ♡ ! Im so glad you're here .. "
Hayate had hummed before leaning away and softly pulling Kokoa into the house .
Kokoa had smiled softly at the sight of her girlfriend , giving her a small kiss on the cheek . Then making herself at home , quickly going to Hayate's room and setting her things down . Causing Hayate to slightly question why Kokoa packed a bag . Before it quickly hit her , causing her have a cat-like grin .
" Im assuming you're staying over ? "
Hayate questioned as she had a very smug grin on her face as she stared at Kokoa's bag , then at Kokoa .
" W-well .. Considering that its already late I thought I'd just stay the night .. "
Kokoa slightly mumbled before sitting on Hayate's bed and looking up at her girlfriend with a very flushed expression on her face and a small red hue appearing on her cheeks .
Hayate had looked down at Kokoa before slightly looking at the pink hairclip in her white hair , and giving it a hard stare . Kokoa had thought it was a bit weird on how hard Hayate was looking at her but before she was about to say something , Hayate had quickly gotten a pink hair dye from once of her drawers in her night stand then looked at Kokoa .
" Hey Kokoa , that hair clip in your hair .. is really cute . - Infact .. I think pink would look really cute in your white hair . "
Hayate had stated as Kokoa's eye's widened . Dying her white hair ? Could that be something she desperately needed ? Maybe it was . Kokoa had always felt like her hair needed something to it .. So of course , she agreed to it .
As time went by Kokoa had been sitting in Hayate's bathroom on a small wooden stool as Hayate explained why she had the pink hair dye in the first place . She had explained that when her and her cousin Toka were younger , Hayate tried convincing her to let her dye Toka's hair pink .. Which clearly never worked out since the hair dye was never used . But the silly story did cause Kokoa to giggle at it . Hayate continued rambling on about stories of when she was younger and about how much she loved her family and always tried to make them proud . Especially her dad . But sooner or later Hayate was done putting the pink hair dye on the right half of Kokoa's head and was ready to soak the girls head for the finished result .
As Kokoa bent over in the tub , the sensation of her girlfriends hands massaging her scalp was oddly relaxing , almost causing Kokoa to fall asleep as the warm soothing water went through her hair and dripped off her neck . But of course sooner or later that sensation would have to end . Almost making Kokoa feel a bit sad that she couldn't feel that relaxation for just a bit longer .... Which had made her a bit drowsy since she did have to fight not falling asleep .
Once Hayate had finished she had rubbed a towel on Kokoa's wet hair and dried her neck and face gently , adding more oddly sensation to Kokoa as she simply just wanted to fall asleep in her girlfriends embrace right then and there . But she remembered she wanted to see the finished product of her hair . And she did hoped it looked good . Which to her surprise ...
" What do you think , Kokoa ? "
Hayate had lightly questioned as a soft smile formed on her lips .
Kokoa was .. speechless . She almost didn't believe that the girl she was looking at the mirror was herself . Sure she still looked parshly the same .. But she felt different ? She felt more confident in herself . She had something to show off , which wasnt just her fake personality and a cute appearance . She felt .. herself for once .
" I - .. Hayate .. "
She spoke softly as she brought her hands to her mouth and felt small tears in her eyes . Eugh .. she couldn't cry now . Not at something like this . But she couldn't help it . She was so happy .. just to be .. herself . Maybe her and Hayate getting together wasn't actually so bad after all ? Maybe it opened something inside of Kokoa and she's just now seeing it . But thats only for the future to know , isn't it ?
