Chapter Text
Gawr Gura was sweating bullets as she and her team were practicing on a sunny weekend. She sees other students walking on the side. Either on their way to their next class, lunch break or outing with family or friends.
Fun
On the corner of her eye, she sees Miko scolding Suisei as she wipes the comets sweat off. She makes a face at the display and she doesn't bother looking around knowing the others were probably making the same face she was.
Come to think of it, she's heard rumors that the two were close but not really together. Miko and Suisei.
What was up with that really?
At this point Gura might as well think they're dating but the two just denies it. Either way she shrugs it off and flinches when Pekora shouts right next to her. Her expression pissed.
"Oi Hoshimachi! Save the tee tee for later, we've got practice here!" Gura winces as she rubs her ear, Suisei waves Miko off as she runs towards them. Gura was too slow and toonlate to leave as Suisei stops in front of them.
"The hell you mean tee tee Pekora!? With that airhead!? Don't screw with me!" She points at her and Pekora was quick to respond.
"Oh please! Cut with the bullshit already! You clearly love Mikochi!" Suisei's face burns and Gura wonders if it's embarrassment or anger.
Probably the latter, knowing her.
The two grabbed each other's collar and Gura panics. "What'd you say Usada!? What the hell's your problem huh!?"
"My problem is that I'm stuck on a stupid practice on the weekend! Saturday! The only day I can rest and take it easy!"
Suisei grimaces as she loosens her hold on Pekora. Gura knows where this is going. They all do.
"Instead of taking it easy and celebrate our win, were stuck doing practice all because you couldn't hold your damn temper when a random guy talked to YOUR Mikochi!"
Pekora shoves Suisei off of her and Gura was quick to catch her.
She observes the comet who looks pissed. Before she could get physical Gura has practically hugged her, preventing her from getting any closer to Pekora.
She looks at Pekora for help but the stupid rabbit has the audacity to look smug. Gura grits her teeth and sweats, unsure of her position in the situation.
She only knows that it's most likely not gonna end well for her. Out of spite for everything really, she doesn't mind sharing her fate with these two knuckleheads.
If I'm going down I'm taking you two with me. It's always been that way with them really. The trio, the star team, the idiots.
Usada Pekora was quick and agile, her reflexes were a big advantage whenever an enemy hits the ball. Like a dog, she was quick to catch the ball and often helped turn the tables in the teams favor.
Hoshimachi Suisei was a strong and violent person when pissed, thus earning the name Suichopath. Like Pekora, her fast reflexes, strength and sharp eye often leads her to a hit a home run. She gained the title shooting star cuz she makes the ball shoot far away like a shooting star that's leaving the arena.
And finally Gawr Gura. Gura has Pekora's agility and Suisei's strength, what she has for herself is her creativity of throws. Her skill with the ball often leaves the enemy guessing. Like a shark, they never know what's coming till it's over. She is a huge headache and a menace to the game making the words keep your eyes on the ball absolutely difficult.
Despite their reputation and contributions to the teams victory they also have some flaws and this is one of them. Constant bickering.
Gura has often become a wall for the two. Often headbutting each other and arguing back and forth, she had to step in most of the time. The rest of the team didn't have it in them to stop these two. Gura as well but she's practically done this too many times that it's practically become her role at this point.
The way everyone automatically calls her for help when they fight says enough.
It isn't helping either that the two are too proud of themselves and would rather run fifty laps then apologize. Realizing that it may go down to throwing hands she looks at her teammates and nods, signaling them to get the coach.
As they ran to get help Gura just realized that a crowd is starting to form outside of the field, some with their phones out. She looks back at Suisei and Pekora.
"I already said sorry you damn rabbit!"
"More like act sorry, you never meant it and we both know it!" Suisei growls and Gura internally cries.
"I had plans Suisei! Outings! Reservations! But because of your jealousy, short temper and possessiveness of Mikochi were stuck out here! Practicing on a very hot sunny Saturday Hoshimachi!" Pekora has closed their distance and pokes Suisei's chest on each statement, angering the comet.
Long story short. They won a recent match just this week, an important one that has given them a shot in the semi finals. Miko came to watch the match and show support for their schools baseball team, she wasn't alone of course. A lot of of their friends and family came but when they won it was a chaotic mess. Everyone was all over the place and Gura can remember clearly when their team carried her in celebration.
She'd smile at the memory fondly if not for what comes next. Being held up high, she saw Suisei made her way to a guy who was clearly making moves on Miko, she can see the discomfort on Miko and Suisei was quick to stop it. During these times, there were already rumors surrounding the two but whether it was real or not Suisei made quick work of him. Bloody and brutal.
Their celebration turned into a mess real quick. To make matters worse, the man was a fellow baseball player and student of the school they were facing. Not to mention a brother of one of the opposing teams player.
The coach was pissed but allowed the team to rest and celebrate that night. As for their punishment, he'll pass it some other time. Too high on cloud nine that day, none of them thought it would be an extra practice on a hot sunny Saturday, twice as long and difficult too.
They practice after class every Monday to Friday and that's their usual routine.
Gura can feel her slowly break free, she looks at Pekora for help but the rabbit doesn't even look at her. Instead she glares at Suisei face to face, daring her.
No, challenging her, to break free and get physical. Gura frantically tries to hold Suisei but she's still no match for her. She sees some of their teammates running over and their coach in the distance. She also sees Mikochi making her way towards them, worry evident in her eyes.
Gura sighs in relief as she sees her struggle finally coming to an end. She's snapped out of it as Suisei tells her to let go. "Uh, I might if you promise not to fight" The only response she got was a growl.
Fantastic
Pekora smirks and Gura makes a face at that. Not breaking eye contact with Susie she tells Gura to let her go.
Gura almost does out of shock but she's quick to regain her grip on Suisei and scolds Pekora. "Dude are you serious right now!?"
"Let go of me Gura"
"Yeah Gura, let her go and let's see what happens next" Pekora's taunts are working as Suisei finally gets one of her arms out of Gura's tight embrace.
Pekora distances herself a bit and takes a stance. Waiting for Suisei and that pisses her off more. She grabs Gura's arm and slowly pushes it off of her. Gura lets out a grunt and winces at Suisei's strong grip on her.
Jesus, she's strong. And very pissed. I'm so screwed.
Gura may be responsible for defusing the two most of the time but she too has limits, and this is one of them.
She's tired, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and whatever the fuck there is.
Gura slips up as Suisei surprisingly makes her way towards Pekora. Her slip up was enough for Suisei to free both of her arms and grab Pekora once more and the rabbit was quick to reciprocate the violent gesture. Gura at this point was hugging Suisei's waist, her head was dizzy and she was dehydrated as hell.
She hears Miko scream in the distance and that had Suisei falter for a bit. Pekora took that chance and landed the first blow on the comet, slapping her on the face. Gura winces at that and braces herself for Suisei's outburst.
These two argued enough that Gura had made up five stages of it.
The teasing
The mood swing
The testing
The roasting
And finally the fighting.
Sometimes they would jump on some stages such as today but she suppose, Pekora was not exactly in the teasing mood with their situation.
She hears loud gasps and noises at the distance, knowing it's the crowd they've made she tries to stop the two for the last time. "Cut it out you guys! The more you fight the more all of us are gonna get into more trouble!"
Pekora was fast to talk back. "Tell that to the one who single handedly put us into this situation in the first place!"
Suisei headbutts her and the rabbit winces in pain. The impact doesn't sound pleasing to Gura in the slightest.
"What're you trynna say Usada!?"
"I'm saying you're actions have consequences Hoshimachi!" She shoves Suisei hard and that creates a distance between them. Gura releases a sigh of relief, happy to have them separated.
Her happiness dries up as Pekora closes their distance once more.
Oh shit.
"Consequences! That affect! Other people!" She all but screams her words to Suisei and tries to hit her. The two has practically thrown blow after blow and slap after slap at each other and Gura squeals.
"Help! Somebody help me separate these two already!"
Her call for help arrives as Miko finally gets their. She copies Gura's action and hugs Pekora's waist, pulling her away from Suisei. She also scolds the comet in the process. "Oi Hoshimachi! The hell do you think you're doing dumbass!"
Gura hears their teammates getting nearer but she and Miko struggle still. Confused, she looks at the two and sees that Suisei has a strong grip on Pekora's uniform. Refusing to let her go.
Gura is beyond pissed and finally growls out her frustration. "Have you two lost your minds!? Pekora! Challenging her like that when you know she can easily end you! Pekora deflates at that and Gura focuses on Suisei.
"And Suisei!"
"Don't!"
"Oh shut up already will ya! I'm already caught up in your mess so I very much will! Coach is on his way! Don't be stupid and repeat what's gotten us here in the first place!' Suisei freezes but her hold still tight on Pekora.
Pekora glares at her while Miko looks at her worried. Gura sighs and looks behind her to see their coach walk towards them, expression unreadable.
That's not a good sign.
The team looks worried and scared but Gura smiles at them regardless.
"You're right, this is all my fault...but I don't regret what I did"
Miko's eyes widen and she almost slips up like Gura as Pekora walks up towards them. "You see!? You haven't learned your lesson one bit after all this time!"
"Oi! You guys are close enough Usada!" Miko scolds her but her words just pass by the rabbits ears.
"If I'm ever going to apologize, that's only to Gura"
The three of them looked at Suisei in confusion as her grip tightens once more on Pekora.
"Uh, for what?" Gura asks, worried. She absentmindedly looks around and squirms at the attention they were getting from the people outside.
"For this!"
Gura slips up once more as Suisei surprises her again with her speed. She and Miko try to stop them but the comet was persistent to land a punch on Pekora's face.
Gura flinches as the coach finally speaks up. "Hoshimachi, Usada"
Pekora freezes as she makes eye contact with their coach but Suisei doesn't with her back facing him. Gura faces their coach as well, apology already at the tip of her tongue.
She never gets to say it as Suisei's elbow lands a heavy and brutal blow on her face. The sound of something cracking heard loud and clear by the group.
She feels Suisei flinch and everyone else freezes. They all remain perfectly still, that is until Gura lets go of Suisei and fall on the ground. Screams of her name rang on her ear.
Gura blinks repeatedly, her vision a mixture of blurriness and dizziness. Getting a hold on herself, she sees the worried looks of Pekora, Suisei and Miko.
They're asking her if she's ok. She flips the two off with a groan and gets up.
Tries to.
She lands back on the ground and her ears ring. Gura can barely make out what they're saying. She's getting lightheaded, the sun blaring it's heat and light on her sight makes it worse.
She faces the other side and accepts her fate. She'll probably see tons of video on social media but she doesn't give a fuck right now. She closes her eyes and waits for her to black out.
She feels movement and pacing surrounding her, she doesn't bother anymore. Letting them deal with it this time.
Her coach yells, the team is loud and everyone is practically shouting at this point. She won't be surprised if she sees a fight happening when she opens her eyes again.
She feels someone touching her, asking her. She only grunts as a response. Feeling how big the hand is, it's probably their coach. For a short while she's slowly regaining her senses, painfully too.
She winces as their coach barks out all his orders at the team, immediately shutting everyone up.
Gura sighs when they all quited down. Their coach wasn't done however, tension still evident in the silence of things.
"If anyone else wants to say something, it better be a helpful choice of words for our situation!"
The team is silent, all tensed up. They all perked up when they hear a voice in the distance. Gura picks up on it too.
She's never heard it before. It feels nice and gentle on the ears but it just might be her being lightheaded talking.
Slowly opening her eyes, she spots a girl running towards them. She looks pretty. Gura blinked repeatedly to get a better focus but the action just made her dizzy and she holds her head and groans in pain.
She's a bit startled as she feels soft hands grab hers and pulls it away from her face. Looking at the person responsible, she's stunned to see blue with a slight hint of pink surrounding it.
The blonde lady smiles at her and Gura feels her heartbeat quicken. She hopes her face isn't flushed as the girl checks up on her. She faces their coach and talk as she proceeds to do her work.
If she's an angel Gura would happily slumber eternally in her embrace. She maybe in pain but her eyes gets too distracted at her assets. When she looks at Gura she subtly looks away and sees a name tag on her outfit.
A. Watson it says.
Her train of thought to what her name is cuts off as the girl caresses her cheek and talks to her.
"Gura? Gura can you hear me?"
Sweet Jesus, the way she says her name is pleasing to her ears. And her hand...
"Gura if you can hear me nod ok? Nod for me Gura"
Gura's quick to do as she's told but nods slowly and she's rewarded by her smile. It's warm and brightening, if Gura dare says, it can rival the suns very own. Despite the pain she reciprocates the smile and Watson's eyes twinkle.
"Good girl"
And just like that, Gura finally blacks out.
When she dreams, it's with a girl whose hair was kissed by the sun. She'd stay asleep forever but her body says otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When she comes to, she squints at the light above her head. Looking around, she recognized the place she's in. The school clinic. She sighs and gets up, wincing every now and then as the pain bites her. Once settled, she spots her phone on her left at the table right next to her.
She tries to grab her phone only to hear the door open. It was Suisei and Pekora, behind them were the whole crew. They were all frozen until they rush towards Gura.
Gura jolts and flinches in pain. She feels her heart fall at the sudden sprint and braces for impact. At this rate she'll just get knocked out a second time.
What she didn't expect was another person coming to save her. Coming from her right the rest of her team slows down and stops as the doctor walks up in front of them.
Gura looks at her savior in awe. It was the sun kissed girl, she was wearing a lab coat and holding a clip board.
She clears her throat and speaks. "Now I know you're all happy to see her finally awake, but I can't have you all run around in here"
She scolds them and everyone looks at the floor embarrassed and ashamed, like a kid.
"It's a good thing Gura is the only patient here y'know. If there were others, I might have to kick you guys all out"
They all looked at her in alarm and we're quick to beg her to let them stay.
"No please Miss Amelia!"
She pekrs up at that. Amelia huh, Gura tucks that little discovery in the back of her head.
Amelia smiles at them and puts her hand in her pocket. She faces Gura and the shark is anxious at the attention.
Amelia observes her for a bit and smiles. She closes their distance and Gura holds her breathe. "Well Gura, your team has been waiting for you to wake up. But if you'd like to be alone and get more rest that's fine. The choice is all yours"
She finishes with a smile as she puts her clipboard down on the bed and leans down to place her hand on Gura's thigh, her thumb rubbing her for comfort. She's back to feeling light headed but the good kind.
Despite the thick layer of cotton blanket between her thigh and Amelia's thumb, she feels the movement clearly. Amelia's face which is a little close to hers isn't helping her case any better either. Amelia looks at her eyes and Gura looks elsewhere. She automatically looks down and sees that Amelia is now wearing a simple navy blue buttoned up polo shirt and her chest- AHEM- I.D. catches Gura's attention.
Amelia H. Watson. In her ID picture, she's not wearing glasses. Right now, as Gura looks up, she's wearing one. It's unfairly hot how attractive she is with or without glasses.
She sweats and audibly swallows hard. The doctors eyes never leaving hers for a second.
"Well Gura?" She asks once more. Gura falters and she grips her blankets, hard. She wets her lips and Amelia's eyes follow her movements intently. She feels more dehydrated than she was earlier, not trusting her voice, she settles for a nod instead.
She observes as Amelia nods, her smile reaching her eyes as it regains the twinkle it had earlier. Confused and a bit scared or turned on- I doesn't really know!
Gura smiles sheepishly. Amelia tilts her head and squeezes her leg.
"Good girl"
As soon as she says that Gura nearly combusted. Her smile turns tight lipped and Amelia winks. She pats her once and lets go of her leg. Grabbing her clipboard, she fixes her coat a bit and faces the rest of the team.
She steps aside and gestures to Gura. "She's all yours"
Everyone happily made there way to Gura and asked her question after question. Their expressions mixed with concern and happiness. Gura snaps out of Amelia's little spell and smiles at her team. Comforting them.
She sees Pekora and Suisei who has yet to join them, most likely embarrassed or ashamed from earlier. She smiles at them and the two blushes and looks away. Gura rolls her eyes affectionately at them and goes back to comforting her team. Despite everything that's happened, she's still stuck on Amelia Watson.
As Amelia leaves the room, she looks back at Gura from the window and watches her. She smiles and walks away while finishing up her paperwork on the clipboard. A simple report on the incident and the patient.
She signs it and was about to pass it to their clerk till she stops. The clerk looks at her with a raised brow and Amelia smiles sheepishly.
"Do we have an eraser for pens?"
"White ink, but having no erasures is often preferred" Choco jokes with her and she finally gives it.
"Just put it there when you're done, thanks Choco-sen"
Choco looks at her report and finds nothing wrong with it. She looks back at Amelia's leaving form.
"I don't see anything wrong. Where're you going?" She asks with a bit of volume.
Amelia waves her off. "Just grabbing a drink! Don't tease me when you find it!"
She disappears and Choco looks at the patients detail. A little scribble at the bottom of it.
She rolls her eyes at it. Not exactly a mistake but it shouldn't be there either. Either way she chuckles and processes Amelia's report on Gawr Gura.
At the very bottom, Amelia Watson left a cute and silly little doodle. An arrow looping and pointing at Gura's picture.
Cute it says.
