Chapter Text
Later that night Mafuyu logged on to Nightcord to see Niigo was sending stuff for their new song. Mafuyu already recorded her lines two nights before and sent them into their group chat before getting onto their call.
“Enanan! I swear Akito isn’t that bad!” Amia was screaming when Mafuyu got on hurting her ears, so she turned the volume down.
“Amia you can’t date him! He’s my brother” Ena replied to her, when Mafuyu got a message from her mystery person, maybe a crush she would have to ask.
The two girls continued bickering over the sound of Mafuyu’s keyboard. “Enanan, Amia can I ask you both something you are both good at?”
The two others on a call were silenced by her words and agreed to help Mafuyu. “I mean like Enanan, you have Airi, while Amia has Akito. Tell me what’s it like to have a crush.”
The only other sound at that moment was Mafuyu taking to h in their DM’s. “Uhhh well having a crush is like having someone that makes you feel good like your aquarium, Yuki, and K’s composing”
Ena started off and Mizuki continued “It feel’s awesome, but also suffocating because you don’t want to tell them since there is a chance to ruin your friendship.”
They were both being really kind and gentle to Mafuyu probably because they wanted to know who had given Mafuyu feelings like that. “You would do anything for them, if it’s your favourite food in the whole planet, you may even be willing to give it to them.”
Mafuyu listens to the two girls talk about crushes but eventually they ask Mafuyu for details about who she thinks she may have a crush on. “Amia you won’t know her, but it’s Hinomori-san’s little sister Shiho.”
The two girls went quiet not even knowing how Mafuyu knew her and it seemed that they were on a first name basis. “But there is another person that friended me on Nightcord, I’ve known them for two days, while I’ve known Shiho since this morning”
Ena had decided to ask about if they were on a first name basis as it seemed that they were. Yet it had only been a day. “Yuki, so say that like your on a first-name basis with Hinomori-san”
Mizuki was interested in her response as well wanting to know more about Mafuyu’s
relationship with Shiho. “Well, that's because I am on a first-name basis with Shiho”
The two girls also in the call was shocked as Mafuyu had said they met each other that day. Then Mizuki started talking. “Yet you've known each other for less than a day, how long did it take?”
Mafuyu then started counting, “I think it has been around 3-4 hours since we had met each other.”
Ena then continued on with Mizuki’s point. “Yuki, you couldn't possibly have a crush on someone that small period of time!”
Mafuyu wanted to believe her, but the feelings that Ena and Mizuki said about having a crush on someone was too consistent with her feelings for Shiho. “Amia can you explain to Yuki why it isn't possible? I need to go and get some water for this.”
Ena then muted and left her room but her account didn't stay muted for very long “Mizuki, be here in 10 minutes my parents aren't here”
It was a male voice, most likely Ena’s brother Akito, yet Mizuki left the call no other words said. Plus Akito put Ena’s account on mute again, leaving Mafuyu all alone in the call, since Kanade was staying with her girlfriend that night so couldn't be there that particular day. So being left all alone, by herself Mafuyu continued to talk to her new friend.
- hibiki
- Yuki
So you say that your favourite flowers are snapdragon’s
Yes they are my favourite, I especially love the ones in my school garden.
Sometimes I water them at lunch.
?Where do you go to school hibiki
Nowhere special, it's just a school full on npc’s.
If we went to the same school I would like to be with you every day though.
That's nice hibiki, I would want the same
I'm glad you feel that way, Yuki
Are you as beautiful as you come off to be?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that if I'm being honest
Your personality is beautiful, but are you also attractively beautiful?
Well I'm not too sure
I think you are beautiful Yuki
Mafuyu didn't reply because she didn't understand, she didn't reply because she was taken aback blushing like crazy. But then Ena returned back to her computer unmuting. “Yuki, where did Amia go?”
She was snapped back to reality sending a reply to hibiki before responding. ”Actually I think you will have your answer soon, your little brother invited Amia over to your house”
Ena was quite for a few moments before speaking in away that could describe a mother about to put their child in time out but talking to someone else. ”I sure do hope that you will excuse me for a moment. Either way, you don't have a choice.”
“Ok, Enanan enjoy doing whatever you want to do, I'm going to the sea for when you're done there.” And Mafuyu does as she says saying goodbye to hibiki as they also had to leave entering the sekai.
When she entered she saw Kanade and Miku talking but went the other way coming across Luka. “Luka, can I talk to you about something important?”
Luka turned towards her taking her headphones off ”Yeah sure Mafuyu, why are you so certain that I can help?”
Mafuyu sat next to Luka, giving Luka her full attention but she doesn't really understand what she wants to say herself. “Luka, I don't know how to say this but I feel like I'm in love. But Amia and Enanan are saying that it's impossible”
“Well, you see love can never be impossible, just misunderstood. Tell me more about your feelings” Luka was paying attention mostly and not looking towards some shadows in complete jealousy
“There is this girl that makes me feel stuff, she makes my heart jump out of my chest and back in, I can't get her out of my head including in my exams today. Yet we only met today…” Mafuyu started but instead of not having much emotions it was fluid with them, Luka could understand how she was feeling with each word.
“Do… you by chance want her by you all the time? Do you think you could have a chance with her?” Luka replied trying to ignore the shadows and only pay attention to Mafuyu.
Mafuyu was unsure, but thought about it for a while. She deeply missed having Shiho next to her, never once did someone make her smile so much she doesn't even know that she's smiling. “I miss her so much I want to be next to her, I- fuck…. I even want to sleep in the same bed as her, even if it's of a stalkeing nature.”
Luka was surprised by that last sentence, how and Mafuyu swore, as she never did before. “Well I think that's illegal, if you really wanted then why don't you stay over with her for the night?”
”But…. My mom wouldn't approve of it.” Luka was then determined for her new ship, she wanted Mafuyu and.…. She doesn't even know who.
“Who is it exactly? The person you have a crush on, I mean.” Mafuyu had forgotten to tell Luka probably too caught up in talking about her.
“Her name is Hinomori Shiho, but I just call her Shiho since we are on a first-name basis.” Luka then reacted in a very similar way as Ena and Mizuki, quite shocked since they only knew each other for a day. Yet Luka already had a plan.
“Mafuyu, what if you ask for a sleepover at Shizuku’s tomorrow? I mean like in guessing she is the older, or younger sister of this Shiho you speak about.” Mafuyu nodded in agreement as it was a good plan yet there was two more days of the exams. But her Mom knew Shizuku and really liked her to keep Mafuyu’s grades up.
“Thank you Luka!” Mafuyu happily smiled hugging Luka like as if she was possessed by Emu with her smile so big.
Luka wasn't even able to hug her back as she was being suffocated with the big, but Mafuyu let go of it quickly. Before going dim and emotionless again. “Luka, is it possible to feel the same exact way for someone that I have never met?”
”Mafuyu I think you can feel that way for a thousand people.” Luka giggled while saying that before the two shadows came out as MEIKO and KAITO.
Luka happily patted Mafuyu’s back saying her goodbyes before running up to the two and jumping MEIKO saying something like. “How dare you give my boyfriend a happy ending minus all the stuff before it.”
So Mafuyu went to go see Kanade and saw Ena also there as they looked at her general direction, probably because of Luka screaming at MEIKO, she greeted them before saying that she was going to be busy tomorrow and went out of the Sekai.
