Chapter Text
Mizukis steps are softly heard alongside Enas as they walk into Enas room.
„Ehhm... sorry Mizuki it's a bit messy in here.“
Ena says looking away awkwardly rubbing her neck.
Mizuki grins sheepishly.
„Hehe.. as I expected from you Enanan~“
„Shut up you dense moron!“
Mizuki throws herself down on Enas bed without even asking. She takes a deep breath clearly exhausted from the events that happened earlier. She closes her eyes and opens them again suddenly seeing a certain brunette looking down at her with those beautiful soft brown eyes. Mizukis cheeks suddenly feel warm and her stomach flips in that weird way Mizuki doesn't know what it is but she doesn't hate it.
„Hellooo earth to Mizuki!“
This snaps Mizuki out of her thoughts.
„Heh sorry I guess I'm a little tired.“
Mizuki looks away feeling guilty.
„Well maybe you should sleep then idiot.“
Ena flicks mizukis forehead with two fingers earning a cute squeak from Mizuki.
„Ouch..! What was that for Ena..?“
„For being such a stupid idiot. You're lucky that you're cute. Hmph..!“
Mizuki stretches out on Enas bed rolling onto her stomach. She then grabs one of Enas plushies and hugs it nuzzling into it.
'Why the plush and not me.? Wait no stop!'
Ena thinks to herself her cheeks tinting red.
„Mizuki you shouldn't sleep in your school clothes.“
„What else am I supposed to wear??“
Mizuki thinks for a moment and turns red again.
'She won't give me her clothes right or will she...??'
Mizuki thinks turning even redder.
„I'll give you something.“
Mizuki is now turning a deep red.
„Ena really that's not necessary.“
But too late Ena is already at her closet Picking out something for Mizuki to wear. She tries to look for bigger clothes since mizuki is taller than her.
„Here take this Mizuki.“
Ena throws a white shirt and shorts right at Mizukis face. Mizuki Blushes deeply freezing up for a moment but then picking up the clothes and putting them aside. Then mizuki just starts taking her uniform off. When she reaches her shirt and starts pulling it up something firmly grabs her wrist, she looks to the side and sees a flustred Ena.
„GO CHANGE IN THE BATHROOM YOU PERVERT.“
Ena shouted turning red and flustred from seeing mizukis stomach exposed.
'Ugh why do I feel so warm and tingly inside. Stupid idiotic weirdly attractive Mizuki'
Mizuki turns beet red mumbling some stuff Ena couldn't quite hear she quickly takes the stuff and disappears into the bathroom that was at the end of the hall.
Mizuki closes the door and locks it and slides down the door onto the floor.
'What is wrong with me? What if she thinks I'm a weirdo now. No she's probably totally creeped out by me. Things just got back to normal and I totally messed up.'
Tears pick prick at the corners of Mizukis eyes but she quickly wipes them away and gets up. Mizuki quickly changes and goes back to Enas room.
„Ena where should I put my clothes?“
„Well took you long to change huh? Just put them in the chair.“
Mizuki quietly puts them on the chair standing in the corner she looks at Ena who's already hunched over her drawing tablet like a shrimp.
„Your neck will become crocked if you keep sitting like that, Shrimp Ena.“
Mizuki grins and teases.
„No it will NOT“
„Suree~ Anyways will you tell me where I am supposed to sleep, or should I just sleep while standing enanan??“
„Just use the bed moron.“
Both Mizuki and Ena turn red.
„Uhh... okay well sure if you say so. Wake me up at 25:00 alright?“
„I will, now sleep before I make you sleep on the floor.“
Mizuki quietly slides under the covers, she does feel relatively tired and exhausted. She grabs one of Enas plushes again and hugs it tightly. Everything from clothes, to sheets, to plushies, they all smell like Ena, and it's driving Mizuki crazy, she turns red again thinking about Ena.
'Why won't she leave my mind? Did I fall for her...? No, No never.. She's my best friend, I can't be in love with her. Heh plus she must still think I'm a creep. I still don't know why I felt so comfortable just changing even if she was watching.'
Mizuki finally falls asleep. Ohh but poor Ena is beet red, constantly glancing at Mizuki's sleeping form. Ena can no longer concentrate on her drawings when she has that cute girl sleeping in her bed.
'Why does she look so adorable when sleeping ugh I just wanna squeeze and kiss her. WHOA WAIT NO NO NO. It can't be.. no we're surely just platonic.. right?Totally platonic, Mizuki is my best friend I shouldn't be thinking of such weird things.'
A few hours later the alarm that Ena set for 25:00 rings and she gets up from her chair softly padding to her bed.
„Hey sleepy head it's time to wake up“
No response, so Ena reaches out and shakes Mizukis shoulder.
Mizuki groans sleepily.
„Just five for minutessss...“
„Kanade and Mafuyu are waiting come on.“
„Wait what.. oh. Did you tell them that I'm back yet?“
Mizuki looks worried.
„Well not yet you can do that yourself now get up.“
Mizukis face darkens she's really worried about her groupmates reaction ,but she takes a deep breath and gets up. She pulls out a chair besides Ena still looking kinda tired. So without thinking Mizuki leans her head on Enas shoulder , who tenses up but then relaxes.
„Alright here.“
Ena gives Mizuki an earbud they put it in and Ena logs into Nightcord.
„Hello guys.“
„Ohh hello Enanan.“
A soft voice comes through.
Mizuki gets slightly nervous when she hears Kanade.
„Hello“
Mafuyu coldly says as always.
„So did you find amia?“
Mizuki takes a deep breath.
„She did. Yahhooo guys!!“
There's silence for a second.
„Welcome back. We're glad you're here again I hope you're doing well.“
Kanade softly says, relieved that mizuki is back.
„Welcome“
Cold as always. Mizuki grins, happy that things haven't changed. But then-
„Well since we're all together again, we just wanted to mention that.. me and Yuki are dating now.“
Kanade nervously said.
„WHAATTT?! That's so cool you guys congrats!!“
'I'm so happy for them but what is this gnawing feeling in my chest like.. someone is squeezing it. Am I jealous? No, of course not. I can't be.. right?'
„Mizuki don't be so noisy! But congrats you two it was kinda obvious tho..“
Mizuki and Ena bicker around as usual, again Mizuki being more touchy then usual since they're working in one room. Now she's all happy again.. but there's something in her eyes that Ena can't quite catch. But after awhile Ena goes back to drawing, while Mizuki simply watches her or her face, since Mizuki doesn't have anything to work with currently, and she doesn't like editing things on her phone, and keeps insisting she'll do it tomorrow.
Mizukis stomach does that weird flip again and her cheeks slightly warm up. And duh, Ena noticed Mizuki staring.
„Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at it like that moron?“
Both their faces heat up. Mizuki awkwardly looks away.
'Ugh what am I doing again. I'm like 100% sure now she thinks I'm a creep. Ugh but she looks so pretty when she's concentrating. Nooo... bad thoughts!'
There's silence for a while but then..
„Hey Ena say, am I weird?“
„HUH?! What kind of question is that. But yeah, you're totally weird.“
Mizukis face crumbles.
„But so what everyone's weird. Being normal is boring you know.“
Ena smiles in that warm way her eyes doing that shiny spark thingy. Mizukis face lights up and tears start to fall.
„Ehh?? Mizuki are you okay?!“
„I'm sorry I just- You're probably think I'm a total creep I keep staring and doing weird stuff without thinking about it.. I'm sorry.“
Ena hugs Mizuki. Ena holding Mizuki until she calms down.
„I would never think that you dummy.“
Then she unmutes.
„Hey K me and amia will be logging off now. Today has been quite much for us. Goodnight.
„Goodnight amia and enanan.“
„Night“
Ena turns her phone and tablet off, stands up and stretches.While mizuki is aggressively wiping her tears, and staring at the bit of skin that got exposed by Ena stretching, before she lets her hands fall back down.
„Enaa.. why did you log off?“
„We're going to bed you're tired I can see it on your face. Now look away I'll change real quick.“
„Ehh? but I had to go to different room, you're so unfair enanan!!“
„Just look away and don't you dare peek!“
Mizuki obeys at first but hearing the rustling of fabric and Enas quiet huffs of struggles to get her clothes off. Mizuki had to take a quick peek, seeing Ena struggling to take her bra off. But as quick as she looked, she turned away turning red.
„Mizuki, step aside for a second“
Now fully changed Ena rolls out a mat and puts some sheets on it, and then Instead of getting into her bed she lays down on the mat and covers herself with a blanket.
„Ehhh.. Ena what are you doing..?“
„Going to sleep, what else does it look like? moron.“
„But why aren't you sleeping on the bed that is literally yours..?“
„'Cause you deserve sleeping in it okay? I want it so! Now move your lazy ass under the covers and go to sleep!“
Mizuki turns beet red and in a daze gets under the covers. Clutching one of Enas plushies, after a while she rolls into her side to look at Ena, who's knocked out cold.
„Cutie..“
Mizuki mumbles quietly her stomach does these weird flips again. She's seriously starting to overthink things but she pushes those thoughts aside and just turns away and sleeps.
Next morning.
Mizuki wakes up pretty early since she had to go to school today, since she has missed way too many classes. She changes clothes quickly. She looks at Ena and decided to pick Ena up and lay her into the bed. Once Ena is snuggled under the covers Mizuki grabs her bag and goes downstairs, and sees Akito quietly eating breakfast on his own.
„Ohh, Hey lil' bro!“
„Huh?! Akiyama what are you doing in this house??“
„Ehe..“
Mizuki smirks.
„Sleepover with Ena I guess.. :3“
Mizuki is full on grinning now!!
„So watcha' eatin' there lil' bro?“
„The usual. Have you eaten yet?“
„Ehh.. well no, just woke up recently.“
„Okay let's make a deal I'll give you something to eat and you'll asnwer one question I have truthfully alright?“
„You're acting strange lil' bro, but sure.“
Akito Tosses Mizuki a little plastic bag with a bun.
„Be honest, do you have a thing for my sister?“
Mizuki freezes her cheeks turning red
„I- uhh Heh.. I-I'm not sure.“
„Face it you totally have a thing for her.“
„MIZUKI HAS A THING FOR SOMEONE?!“
Ena suddenly stands in the door way. Still fully in her bed wear clearly still tired but now shaken up.
„WHO?! TELL ME NOW!!“
Ena walks up to them and starts agressively shaking Mizuki by her shoulders.
„Whoa whoa, Ena calm down it's nothing really! And seriously, i don't have anything for anyone..“
„You're lying I heard akito said you have a thing for "her" WHO'S HER??“
Ena starts shaking Mizuki harder.
„Ena please stop shaking me, it's making me dizzy.“
„You're a Lesbian Mizuki?“
„Well yeah. Now could you please stop shaking me-“
Mizuki tries looking away but she feels like jello from all the shaking.
Ena takes a deep breath and let's Mizuki go. Her face just showing raw hurt.
„Ena is this upsetting you?“
„No not at all I'm fine.“
Ena clutches her fists and looks away holding back tears, as she turns around and stormns to her room.
„Well shit.. “
Tears start welling up in Mizukis eyes but she wipes them away before they can fall.
„Ugh.. You can cry later enough with girls drama. Now come on Mizuki classes start soon, I'll talk to her later now hurry or I'm blaming you for being late“
„It's not drama Lil' bro! But I guess you're right let's go.“
In silence they walk to school. Mizuki has never walked to school with Akito but his presence was nice. Tho his questions keeps repeating in her head. Mizuki pulls out the bun Akito gave her earlier and nibbles on it while walking since she was a little hungry after all.
'I think I might've fallen in love with her but now it's all completely messed up again, what do I do? Rui is dating Tsukasa right? Maybe if I see him today I'll ask him for advice.'
Back in Enas room.
Ena is quietly curled up on her bed hugging that same plush that Mizuki cuddled with. It has that soft smell of Mizuki now and it drives Ena insane.
„Why..? Why is this happening..? I thought things were good again.. I totally overreacted. Why does this hurt so much? it's not like Mizuki is my girlfriend or anything.“
Tears softly roll down Enas cheeks. she feels guilty for lashing out on Mizuki. But it hurt so much so fucking much, Ena can't bear this pain so she just gets out her phone and quickly sends a text to airi.
Airi-chan :D
Enanan: «Hey Airi do you have time to meet up today? I really need someone to talk to about something that happened.»
Ena hit sent without thinking, puts her phone away and just cries herself to sleep.
To be continued.
