Work Text:
it's about 9:00 in the evening, and momoko is in her dorm, settled in bed. she went through her phone, casually checking through her instagram at the moment. she scrolled over the four posts on her account, which were all related to her lifestyle as a lolita.
she then went to her notifications, checking to see if BTSSB posted anything new, seeing some likes on her posts, and there wasn't really anything out of the ordinary. until...
she saw that she received a message from someone named, "ichikkoo🏍". she glanced at the user, a sense of familiarity washed over her. momoko recognized this person from her college—ichiko (or, ichigo, which was rumored to be her real name) was the campus biker, and yankī. she was mostly seen around her circle of friends, who were also like her. she was mostly known for getting into physical fights, but those were done outside of school.
anyway, momoko curiously clicked on the account, viewing it. there sat the girl's profile picture, which seemed to be like a candid picture, taken from behind of her as she seemed to be walking, hands tucked in her pockets. to be fair, it did look quite pleasing, as she was also wearing a coat that had her name on the back.
then, came her bio, which was a song that momoko assumed yankīs liked. she saw that it came from an artist called 'ozaki'. of course, she didn't bother to listen to it, thinking it would be something that was loud and heavy, and not up to her tastes.
she looked at the posts on ichigo's account, noticing there was quite a few, with most being outfit checks, reels of her cleaning her bike, etc. she clicked on one post, the title on it being:
'MY GOATS THIS 26 HELL YEAHHH !!'
momoko saw that it was a slideshow of her and her friends, but, she clicked off, not really caring much about that post. or any of her other posts.
however, going back to those messages, she finally saw what it said.
ichikkoo🏍: "hey"
ichikkoo🏍: "u cute"
ichikkoo🏍: "seen u around campus wearing those frilly dresses"
ichikkoo🏍: "u up? if you're asleep lmk AHAHA"
momoko blinked at the texts. she was wondering how ichigo got ahold of her account, since she's never given it out before. besides, why was she even texting her?
whatever. the milk-tea haired girl replied back. here, she texted:
momoko♡: "Hello?"
momoko♡: "Why are you texting me? And, how did you get in contact with my account? I've never given this, or any of my other social media accounts out before."
she answered formally, contrasting with ichigo's shortened, casual typings.
ichikkoo🏍: "ouuu shii so u were up"
ichikkoo🏍: "😳"
momoko♡: "Yes...? I normally sleep at around 10:30."
ichikkoo🏍: "oh"
ichikkoo🏍: "early bird"
ichikkoo🏍: "i sleep later than that"
momoko♡: "Okay?"
momoko♡: "You haven't answered my questions yet, though. How did you find my account, and why are you texting me on here?"
behind the screen, ichigo laid there in her bed, eyes fixated on the text that momoko had just sent. for starters, ichigo has had a crush on momoko since high school, though, she never really brought herself to admit that. she brushed her feelings off, saying that it was just cause she found her pretty, and that it was odd for a yankī to be liking a lolita. her friends would probably joke about it nonstop around her too, saying stuff like:
"ha! no way, ichiko! i mean, we knew you took a liking towards girls, but you chose some princess?! seriously?!"
"ooohh, ichiko's in love with a girly girl!"
yeah. but, now? shit, she didn't think brushing it off would be enough...
on top of that, she found her instagram account because she's been stalking it for... quite some time now. but, with her ego, there was no way she'd be following momoko.
that was the weird part, though. cause, why would she refuse to follow the girl she liked, when she was texting her right now?
for awhile, ichigo's thumbs just hovered over her keyboard as she thought about a good enough reason as to why she was texting her. she knew she had to hurry, cause momoko already texted again.
momoko♡: "Hello?"
momoko♡: "Are you there?"
ichikkoo🏍: "um yeah"
ichikkoo🏍: "sorry just had to do smth rq"
momoko♡: "That's alright. But, please. Answer my questions."
ichikkoo🏍: "well uh"
ichikkoo🏍: "found ur acc cause i saw it on my friends suggestions, recognized u from ur pfp, den thought of adding yu"
ichikkoo🏍: "n im texting just 2 be friendly uknow"
ichikkoo🏍: "whts wrong w dat? lmao"
momoko♡: "Oh."
momoko♡: "I see..."
momoko stared back at her screen, trying to think of what to say next. at the same time, she still couldn't get over the fact that the school's rebel was talking to her. it was odd, yes, but she just decided to go with the flow, and stay civil.
momoko♡: "I have another question for you."
ichikkoo🏍: "again?? damn girl how many questions do u ask? you must be an interviewer in disguise or sum"
momoko♡: "No... I am not an interviewer. Nor am I interested in being one. Labor isn't suitable for me."
momoko♡: "Besides, I would much rather be the interviewee."
ichikkoo🏍: "tf"
ichikkoo🏍: "yh ok wtver the hell you said"
ichikkoo🏍: "so what were u ab to ask me"
momoko♡: "Is it true that your real name is 'Ichigo'? If so, that would be quite the contradiction, wouldn't it? You're a yankī, but your real name means 'strawberry'."
momoko giggled slightly as she typed this in.
on the other hand, ichigo's smile dropped as the latter asked her that. she typed back furiously, her fingers practically flying over her keyboard.
ichikkoo🏍: "BITCH WHAT"
ichikkoo🏍: "WHO TOLD YOU THAT"
ichikkoo🏍: "I HATE MY REAL NAME OMG IT MAKES ME SOUJD LIKE A DORKR"
ichikkoo🏍: "@92(_9SJXKSB##"
momoko♡: "Um..."
the loli stared at the last text in confusion. it was all just a mix of jumbled letters and symbols. what could that mean?
ichikkoo🏍: "🤬🤬🤬🤬"
momoko♡: "Calm down, Ichigo."
ichikkoo🏍: "DONT USE TGAT NAME"
momoko♡: "I won't, Ichigo! I promise."
momoko♡: "(๑¯◡¯๑)"
momoko saw at how ichigo was crashing out on her for using that name, but all she could do was laugh at her expense.
ichikkoo🏍: "ugh wtver"
ichikkoo🏍: "🙄🙄🙄"
momoko♡: "I should probably get to bed..."
momoko♡: "It's 9:50 already..."
ichikkoo🏍: "dont u sleep at 10:30"
ichikkoo🏍: "lets keep yapping man"
ichikkoo🏍: "live a little"
momoko♡: "Why don't you go to bed?"
ichikkoo🏍: "no bcoz then"
ichikkoo🏍: "if i stop txting u it would feel like a divorce"
ichikkoo🏍: "😳"
ichikkoo🏍 deleted a message.
ichikkoo🏍: "OH WHO SAID THAT"
momoko♡: "Excuse me?"
momoko♡: "Are you flirting with me?"
it was then at this moment that momoko realized she was getting hit on.
momoko♡: "How crude of you! Before you tell me any other pick-up line, I will have to let you know that I am not interested."
she chided, brows furrowed as she typed. though, despite herself, she couldn't stop herself from blushing, that warm heat creeping up from her cheeks, all the way down to her neck.
on the other side, ichigo was... well, broken, to say the least... she buried her head in her pillow, her phone was next to her, face down as she screamed,
"why the hell did I say that?!"
then, she turned back around, facing her side. she stared blankly at the wall.
"shit, now i bet she thinks i'm a weirdo... i am way too damn forward sometimes... i can't think straight..."
a few minutes have passed, and she still had yet to reply to momoko's text. she thought she should just leave it at that, come up with some semi-believable excuse when momoko asks why she got left on 'seen', and deactivate her account.
though, obviously, she wasn't gonna back down. she grabbed her phone again, continuing on with their conversation.
ichikkoo🏍: "ok ok mb"
ichikkoo🏍: "i wanna tell u sum tho"
momoko♡: "Yes?"
ichikkoo🏍: "since u're ab to sleep um"
ichikkoo🏍: "should we sleep tg"
ichikkoo🏍 deleted a message.
momoko♡: "Ew! Pervert!"
ichikkoo🏍: "MY BADD"
ichikkoo🏍: "😢✌"
ichikkoo🏍: "hey but seriously im good when it comes to aftercare"
ichikkoo🏍: "🥴🥴😉"
momoko♡: "Just stop..."
momoko put her phone down, covering her face with her hands, blushing furiously. damn it, she was supposed to be mad at her, but... she just couldn't bring herself to.
shortly after, she brought her phone up again, huffing as she saw ichigo's new text message.
ichikkoo🏍: "u single?"
momoko♡: "Yes. But, really, I am just not interested, okay?"
ichikkoo🏍: "u sure?"
ichikkoo🏍 sent a photo.
momoko looked at the photo, eyes widening as she looked at the picture that was sent to her. it was a photo of ichigo taking a 'laptop selfie', meaning she opened up her laptop's camera, but used her phone to take the image. the quality was slightly grainy, and it looked like it was taken on a dimly lit room. her bangs fell just below her eyelids, and she had her tongue sticking out too. because of the angle, the picture showed off her toned arms, muscles clear.
momoko felt like her brain was short-circuiting, since she was clearly not expecting to be thirst-trapped by someone she thought she would be denying. now, of course, these feelings she was harboring right now were very much sudden, and she had no idea she would even like girls this way.
ichikkoo🏍: "oh you're quiet"
ichikkoo🏍: "lmaoo u thinkin ab what to type?"
ichikkoo🏍: "i think im just that hot"
momoko♡: "Uh..."
her mouth hung open as she thought about what to type next, still thinking about that photo.
ichikkoo🏍: "jus admit it"
ichikkoo🏍: "im fine shyt"
momoko♡: "Okay... Fine... You're good-looking."
momoko blushed as she replied, nibbling on her bottom lip.
in ichigo's point of view, after seeing as the girl she was texting finally admitted that she was attractive, she screamed quietly out of happiness.
"yes! hell yes! she thinks im hot!" - ichigo exclaimed, putting her phone down for a bit before she turned to her side again, grinning widely. subsequently, she took her device up again.
ichikkoo🏍: "wish we were roommates"
momoko♡: "I don't."
ichikkoo🏍: "why"
ichikkoo🏍: "im a good roommate"
ichikkoo🏍: "🤬"
momoko♡: "You'd be a mess. You'd mess up the whole dorm, leave cans of energy drinks everywhere, you probably wouldn't even clean up after yourself!"
ichikkoo🏍: "the only mess im leaving is on ur bed after nutting in u"
momoko♡: "Gross!"
ichikkoo🏍: "im sayin bruh"
at that, momoko tsk'ed, turning her phone off, charging it on her nightstand, and going to bed, not caring if she left ichigo on 'seen'.
