Chapter Text
It's a wonderful day outdoors with the sun shining bright giving life to all during the day. Saki stays in her room; thinking hard about something as she practices
her part of the song on the keyboard. Saying that she's thinking hard about something would be a lie as she's actually thinking hard about someone. Someone
special to the fellow blonde, someone who she can trust, and most important, someone who is one of her closest friends. The nonchalant, green-eyed girl who
likes cute things and is a bass enthusiast. Saki loves how determined her best friend is with wanting to go pro, always doing her best when practising a piece for
their upcoming performance. Saki also loves how whenever Shiho sees something that is cute like a plush, she always tries to hide her love for it, but she actually
makes an adorable face and blushes a little bit.
The pianist makes sure to tease Shiho over it and secretly enjoys it when Shiho covers her face with her hands trying to hide the fact that she is blushing out of
embarrassment. But now there's a problem; the problem is that whenever Shiho tries to hang out with Saki, she starts to avoid the bassist in fear of her romantic
feelings slipping out. Everyone in the band has noticed by now and Saki thinks that she's still being slick about it (She's not!). While practising her keyboard for the
new song that Leo/Need will perform soon, the ruby-eyed girl needs to share her feelings with someone other than Shiho, as she is scared of rejection (real). She
has made the decision of texting Ichika.
𐙚Sakiki𐙚: Wanna hop into Sekai? I need to tell u something
Ichi🎸: Sure, I'm not doing anything rn
𐙚Sakiki𐙚: YIPPEE ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
In the School Sekai, Saki was finally revealing a part of herself to her trusted band mate. First, she made sure that there were nobody else who could hear this, not
even the vocaloids were trusted with this information. But before she could check, Saki found something rather surprising. On the blackboard, there was a bunch of
love hearts drawn with yellow and green chalk. "HUH!? What's that?" Saki froze in embarrassment. "Hmm… very interesting. Does this have anything to do with what
you have to talk to me about?" Ichika was puzzled with the situation. "Uh.. yeah…it has to do with me liking someone special." Saki started to play with her hair and
looking at her left while turning red. "Is it Shiho?" "HOW DO YOU KNOW!?" The girl with pigtails was not acting like her usual self.
She would not get shy easily, in fact she is the last person to get shy. So this is a new experience for her. "Well, firstly the hearts were drawn with yellow and green
chalk, your favourite colour is yellow while Shiho's is green. Secondly, you were acting rather strange towards Shiho when she tries to talk to you out of band
practice, even though you never done that before. Lastly, your reaction to the drawing says everything that I need to know." The dark haired girl made some
factually correct statements as her reasons.
"It's so weird though. I've never felt this way before towards someone so close to me. Usually it would be with a person that I have met a few months ago,
like a classmate. Also, the probability of her liking me back is so low that it's practically impossible," Saki was very devastated with her —incorrect— calculations.
Even if there was a really minuscule chance of her best friend liking her back, it's still bigger than zero. "Surely it cannot be that small of a chance for her to like you
back. You just have to put your hopes and dreams into it and maybe to not suddenly ghost her. It gives off the wrong impression." "But I'm afraid that when I hang
out with Shiho, I might make it obvious that I like her; I might even say it in her face without thinking twice!" Ichika gently rubs Saki's back and replies with "Just
take deep breaths before talking to her and think three times before talking just to be careful. "Thanks for the help, Ichi-chan. "No problem-o, Saki." Saki pulls
Ichika into a comfort hug. Now it's time for both of them to leave the Sekai, and return home. By the time Saki was in her room, there was already warm colours in
the sky. She still had a bunch of thoughts in her mind, but now she has some guidance for them. You could catch her daydreaming about her crush; thinking about
some romantic scenarios with her.
