School. Hate it or love it, the lunch period was mostly the best or WORST period for many, and to Hitomi? Ohhh boy…
“Hitomi, just admit you like her already!"
“For the 1,293rd time I do NOT like Mami!"
This was Hitomi's dealing with Sayaka’s shenanigans. It's been about 9 months since Hitomi became
“close" friends with Mami Tomoe and Sayaka was persistent around the 4th month that she had a crush on her. It's like her rendition of the Bay Harbor Butcher, if more on he was into kissing dudes instead of murder in which case this was the lesbian equivalent if you're still with me…
“Hitomi… The evidence is clear. Just like the glass closet you've enclosed yourself in!”
"A-Are you implying I'm a lesbian?!?!!”
As she uttered that phrase, Kyoko cleared her throat to point out the obvious with her and Sayaka.
"Oh. Right… No offense to you 2 of course. I'm an Ally, not a member of the ldbwudbwwq.”
"Lgbtq Hitomi.”
"Yes! That!”
“No, it's lettuce bacon tomato!"
“Kyoko! Hey, that's my sandwich!"
“Hey there's 2 for a reason!"
“You know that's not for sharing! c'mon you just ate 4 apples."
"Alright Alright, here.”
Kyoko laughs, she splits it in half and gives it to Sayaka. Girlfriend goals am I right? Hitomi looks at them with that thought but remembers the one thing she's said to Madoka and Sayaka that one day.
”Girls can't love girls."
The lunch period was 20 minutes from ending and luckily Kyoko was stuffed. Sayaka still tryna find evidence she's Matilda Bounach’s Descendent, and suddenly.
“URETHRA!"
“..."
“..."
“NO WAIT I MEANT EURIKA! HITOMI I KNOW A WAY TO PROVE YOURSELF!"
“I’m listening..."
“So you don't like her right?"
“Do I have to hammer it in like the lack of fire extinguishers in the school?"
“Go on a date with Mami."
“W-WHAT???!?"
“Yeah! Prove to us that you're not into her."
Hitomi thinks to herself, this could FINALLY shut down the claims and ESPECIALLY that one time she kissed her that Christmas under the mistletoe. 2 birds with one stone.
“What's in it for me."
Sayaka smirks smugishly as does Kyoko too, seems like they've got their bait, now is the time to reel in the big ones with Hitomi.
“All you gotta do is take her out to that new amusement park this Saturday, if you don't fall in love with her by the end, I owe you something from that cafe ya like."
“And if I do? Which isn't possible.”
"Well… You owe me a blueberry sundae."
“And if ya kiss her you owe me a raspberry parfait!"
Kyoko butts in her end of the deal, This makes Hitomi burn like a flare. The sheer thought of having her lips touch that sweet delicate cheek of Mami, or better yet her Lips… “WAIT THINK STRAIGHT DAMNIT NOWS NOT THE TIME THINK THAT” She said in her head.
“I accept… If I get a matcha Frappe when I win.”
"You want some female literature and some Clairo to go with that too Hitomi?”
She groans heavily, cause she does in fact indulge in a good bit of Clairo’s discography… But still. The date is set in stone, the deals up and at em, and all she needs to do is to prepare for tomorrow.
…
Hitomi is in her room, contemplating if taking this deal was really worth the trouble of proving herself, and getting that damn frappe… Until she gets a phone call from someone. Startled, she picks it up thinking Mami was going to ask about the date. Instead?
“Ah! Hitomi! Glad you picked up!"
“Ahhh Madoka, What's up?"
Hitomi and Madoka spoke for a pretty long time, discussing various topics from schools, a bit of tea until eventually Madoka asked about the deal.
“I heard about you and Sayaka made a deal to see if you really like Mami?"
“Yep and this time I'll prove her wrong!"
“Are you sure…?"
“Very much.”
"Then what about that time at her Christmas party…”
"Can we please not bring that up again… Plus, that was meant for you and Homura!"
“R-REALLY?!!!?"
“DUH?!?!"
“W-Well! Do I have to remind you of your other examples?"
"There's more?”
Madoka sighs in response. Not only did she forget the time Hitomi insisted on the Pocky game with Mami (Obviously she rejected.), made lots of physical contact with her, and
not to mention the amount of times Hitomi sticks around to Mami.
“T-Those are perfectly friendly interactions!”
"Even the Pock-”
"YES EVEN THAT!”
"Well either way, I wish you the best for your… Non-Date Date??”
"Thanks Madoka. I should probably sleep to prepare for that."
“Okay have a goodnight Hitomi!"
“You too Madoka."
Hitomi ends the call, puts down her phone and turns off the lights. She looks at her outfit for her “Date” . She wouldn't be lying if she said that despite the deal, it would be nice to spend such a day with her and Mami.
…
The Amusement park was bustling, the cheers and screams of various ages from children and adults alike. The park was crowded and quite the huge place for friends and lovers to meet up. It seems that today was it. Time to prove that Hitomi wasn't in love with Mami! So what if she had those thoughts in her head? That's just some thoughts!
"Heyyy, Look who's dressed all nice and pretty for her date~!”
“Gah! You scared me Sayaka.."
Sayaka giggles, seems she's gonna be monitored for a good bit of the “date".
“Where's Mami? were supposed to meet in a minute?"
“Can't wait to meet her?"
“Barely… B-But it's just to get this over with! Hey uhhh where's Kyoko?”
Sayaka sighs and points to Kyoko eating at a caramel apple stand with 3 sticks in hand, smiling and waving to Sayaka.
“Now, I won't take too much time, I wanna enjoy this place as much as you do. So See ya later Hitomi!”
Sayaka walks away from Hitomi, being given the 1 caramel apple from Kyoko earlier and her choming the other 2.
“Hitomi?”
"MAMI!!!”
Hitomi hugs her firmly, despite all her doubts, there's no way she's gonna pass up this opportunity to have quality time with her. She lets go of the hug and looks at the drill hair once more
“I assume you're aware of the deal?”
Mami nods, she was informed by Sayaka and Kyoko 2 nights before, Hitomi is a bit agitated due to the pair having a possible plan for them.
"I hope that doesn't upset you. Let's just have some fun right?”
“Of course! Besides, I'm sure they are busy themselves to do anything with us.”
Mami and Hitomi walk around the amusement park, Mami was on the lookout for some games they could play just the 2 of them while Hitomi was more paranoid if Kyoko dressed up like one of the gamemasters. Luckily Mami spotted something she and her “Date" could try.
“Hitomi! Could we try this one please?"
Hitomi looks at the stall Mami was pointing at, it seemed it was a shooting game. They both approach it and pay the price entry.
“I'm not too familiar with these kinda things… Ack!”
Hitomi accidentally shoots her forehead, Mami smirks and rubs Hitomi’s forehead, though it wasn't severe, the embarrassment to the owner of the stall would probably be.
“Okay I'll teach you how to shoot one
properly…”
"What's the first step…"
Mami aims her gun one handed at Hitomi's heart and winks as she says…
“Aim for the weak spot!"
She then swiftly switched her aim to the chocolates and knocks it off! Mami is a good flirt, but she doesn't mess with her shots.
*Hitomi was a bit flustered by what Mami said. I mean cmon, there's no way she wasn't into her with that and Wait. THE POINT OF THIS “DATE" WAS TO DISPROVE THIS CLAIM!!! THINKING THIS MEANT THAT SHE LIKES MAMI!!!?? I mean. It's not bad to just have these thoughts and let it linger… Hitomi thought herself all this. Maybe she could win the bet and get Blonde Kasane Teto…*
Continuing back to real time, Hitomi proceeds to get another back up bullet, this time? She wasn't gonna miss this. Hitomi takes a page from Homura and pulls her hair back, spinning her gun lever action badass style (Which she didn't even know she could do.) shoot her shot, and miss by 3 inches…
“W-What?!?!”
"I love your style and the impression that I did, but Hitomi…”
Mami guided Hitomi's arms and told her tips to truly aim the target like a professional American deer hunter
and finally after the 3rd charm she hit a plushie!
“It seems I didn't realize how tenacious it would be to this shot. A pity I did want that Teto plush-”
Hitomi felt as if she awakened to her true self. When Mami was in a saddened state, Hitomi perfectly shot in quick succession the plushie down.
"Welp, here's your wish!”
"My My! You sure that didn't cost you alot?”
"The games cost 300 yen for 3 shots, I've got a pretty hefty wallet so don't worry!”
Hitomi hands Mami the Teto plushie, it's large in size, almost as if she ate baguettes before being here… Nevertheless, Mami’s eyes were radiating with joy as they walk around the fair
“Thank you Hitomi. She resembles me in a way with the hair don't you think?”
"Hmm yeah I can see it!”
“Maybe I should get her a long green lover too?"
“M-Maybe… I think her name was Gumi…"
Mami's implications are slowly turning into flirting and it's showing. Hitomi thought to herself, “maybe Mami likes her in the way she's liking Mami. But wait. Do I like girls like Sayaka does? Am I gonna prove HER POINT??? Gosh love is hard” she said in her mind…
Hitomi and Mami went on the amusement park rides, first the bumper cars, next the carousel, and now the newly made rollercoaster. Hitomi took note of Mami the whole time up to this point. She noticed she'd stick with her closely as possible, often “accidentally" bumping her car in bumper cars, holding her hand in the carousel even though that's possibly not a good idea, and now holding her close as they go through the rollercoaster. Now Mami is not a fearful gal. So she is most definitely into me, Hitomi thought.
“Ahh Im quite fatigued. How are you holding up dear Hitomi?”
“Im doing fine! It's a shame our time is slowly running thin… “
"Indeed it is… Though, we had not ridden the ferris wheel?"
Hitomi's brain lit up like a firework on new years eve. The Ferris wheel with just the 2 of them? She's gotta be into you Hitomi! She said to her mind. As they walk slowly and closely to the ferris wheel, a pair of 2 hearts are stacking out their every move. further from where they are…
…
“Mind if I can see?"
Sayaka pats Kyoko as she insists on seeing the two love birds in action, she hands the Binoculars to Sayaka and she notices the 2 slowly going to the ferris wheel.
“Whoa! I wonder who asked for the big kill?"
“What? What's going on?"
“You idiot! Did you not see Mami and Hitomi?"
“I swear! And don't call me an idiot! Those things were freaking cheap!"
Sayaka giggles, she was right, the thing cost a hashbrown or two.
“Well now… They're going right now!!!"
“W-Wait We're going now?"
“Yeah… Don't tell me you want to play another game.”
While Sayaka said that Kyoko is playing at a nearby whack a mole machine.
“KYOKO!”
"Go on without me Girl! I'll finish this machine or it'll finish me!”
Sayaka sighs and Kyoko starts to go crazy at Whack a mole.
…
As Mami and Hitomi slowly enter the passenger cart and ascend, she notices a light blue haired figure running at a professional sprinter’s pace. This worries Hitomi at first, but realizes that she won't be able to see the both of them at the top even at such speeds…
“Was that Sayaka?"
“Maybe she wanted to ride too."
“I suppose Kyoko is nowhere near her… Ah right the deal!”
"Hah… I almost forgot about it."
Hitomi's thoughts in her head argue about her feelings towards Mami. Should we really love someone of the same gender? Is it really worth the risk to confess to signs that could be platonic? And how much does that Parfait cost??? Hitomi was at an impasse and she decided to take one hell of a shot. A shot greater than she did back at the range.
“Mami."
“Hmm? Is something bothering you?"
Hitomi takes a deep breath. Here goes nothing.
“There is. And I think I can't deny it any longer. I like you Mami.”
“I-”
Hitomi puts a finger on Mami, sitting beside her and slowly burning red as she starts to confess.
“No. Not the way friends are, the way I yearn for someone like you. I love you Mami Tomoe. I don't know how or why but ever since the 9 months we've been friends, slowly I developed a love that I pushed into the back of my mind. Ever since Christmas and all that's been between us, I enjoyed it. And especially today. I want us to be more now. I realized why Kyoko and Sayaka are lovers. Because you make my heart burst, you make my mood turn upside down to joy, and most of all, I feel so fuzzy and comfy with you.”
Mami looks at Hitomi, she looks like she's been holding those thoughts for so long that her face looked nearly identical to a tomato.
“You know, today was the last day I would try to make you fall for me. And here you are confessing what I've been waiting for.”
“So… How long has it been..?”
“From the first month you stayed with me.”
Hitomi feels her heart skip a beat. She felt this same emotion for so long and yet it was so subtle that maybe that's why she let her go her way for so long.
“So I guess that time in December you…”
“Every second of it.”
Hitomi slowly moves to Mami. Both are nervous on how to go about this.
Hitomi looks at her in bliss, she gestures to Mami in a subtle way that Mami notices and slowly turns a slight pink and nodded happily.
They slowly reach for each other's face and share a tender soft kiss. Mami starts to wrap her arms around Hitomi. And as they let go, the door slowly opens to reveal an open mouth Sayaka and a cheeky grinning Kyoko, judging by their looks it could only mean one thing…
“BUSTED!!!”
Mami covers her mouth in embarrassment, and Hitomi hits the iconic Shinji chair pose. Realizing this could mean one last thing…
…
Sayaka and Hitomi joyfully and gleefully eat their desserts at a cafe Hitomi fancies herself at eating. Though unfortunately thanks to her now failed deal, she's broke.
“Hahahaha! I didn't think ya had it in ya but ya did! Thanks Hitomi for the win!”
Hitomi is too much in anguish and deep depression to even react, obviously it's exaggerated but she was very much bummed about her wallet feeling lighter than her stomach.
“So… Guess I was right?”
”Yeah… I lost the bet fair and square so I have to live with this…”
“Cheer up atleast! Here I'll give you some of my sundae!”
*Hitomi takes a spoonful of ice cream, she enjoys it, but it isn't very much her… Wait. Why's there a green frappe on the table?*
“Afternoon Girls.”
“M-Mami?!”
Mami looks at her and smirks at Hitomi. She sits beside Hitomi but she looks away, flustered with what had happened yesterday.
“What brings you here…”
“After what happened yesterday, I thought it would be nice to remind Kyoko and Sayaka something!”
Mami kisses Hitomi on the cheek, puts her head on her shoulders and places her hand on her arm. Hitomi is even more red thanks to her.
“You 2, let's not tease and mess with my dear lover please. Okay?”
Kyoko and Sayaka feel a stern aura hidden in a bubbly bright smile and both nod saying they would pay at a later time as they finish in quick succession and run out the door.
“You didn't have to do that Mami… I'm fine!”
“Nonsense… You're my girlfriend now so let me do my best to be yours!”
Hitomi's heartstrings are going haywire by this point. Seems her flirting became more rampant as the 2 became lovers. Mami gets up and sits to see her lover directly and the pretty large Matcha frappe.
“I heard from Madoka you liked this?”
“You don't mind if we share, right? I think it would be nice…”
“Of Course Himi.”
They both giggle and Hitomi and Mami share a nice couples drink cliché with Madoka hitting the absolute cinema pose as Homura looks at her in confusion.
“What are you doing?”
“Just happy for my friend! I thought it was nice!”
“Hmm.. Mind if I join in too?”
Then the both of them hit it as the 2 lovebirds are happily enjoying their time.
THE END BLAM!!!!
