Chapter Text
"No no no no NO!”
Nene was shaking her head profusely, trying desperately to get the thought of the kiss out of her head. It was just a stage kiss, it wasn’t like there were any real romantic feelings involved. So why can’t she stop thinking about it? The feeling of his lips on hers were still firmly stuck in her mind.
“This can’t be happening! I refuse to believe it!”
The show had just ended, and everyone was either resting backstage or cleaning the stage. Nene was doing neither of these things, the intrusive thoughts in her mind made it impossible for her to do anything other than to wallow in despair. Tsukasa was cleaning up the props they used for the show when he noticed Nene sitting in the corner mumbling incoherent words, and decided to check on her.
“Nene? Is everything okay?”
The voice of Tsukasa made Nene practically jump to her feet. Great, just the person she was hoping to see while in her current mental state.
“AH- Yes everything is fine!”
“you looked like you were wallowing in despair”
(“THAT’S BECAUSE I WAS YOU IDIOT”)
“I’M JUST.. a bit tired, that's all.”
“Are you sure? if something bothers you, I’m willing to listen.”
“No nothing is bothering me-”
Tsukasa was looking at her, with a tilted head and puppy dog eyes.. Nene didn’t want to admit it, but Tsukasa was looking extremely adorable right now..
(“NO HE’S NOT ADORABLE- WHY WOULD I EVEN THINK SUCH A THING? STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!”)
“See? you’re wallowing again!”
“NO I’M NOT! Look- I have a lot going on in my mind right now, and your presence isn’t helping me one bit!”
Tsukasa must’ve done something to upset her, but he can’t think of what could have caused it.
“Oh- I’m sorry.. I-I’ll leave, but I’m still open to listen if you want to talk!”
“OK I UNDERSTAND!”
“Alright then- I’m off-!”
And with that, Tsukasa left Nene’s general direction and continued cleaning. Leaving Nene alone with her thoughts yet again.
(“What’s happening to me?”)
