I started watching urara meirochou and its one of the gayest things ive ever seen so i fell in love and had to write for it. my fav pairing is chiya and kon... they’re so sweet and gay... love them so much. this is dedicated to @president-himedere i hope u like it tab!!
"Kon!"
Kon turned, met with the sight of Chiya, standing at the end of the bridge she was currently on. Her hair swayed in the wind, and Kon could faintly see stars from the night sky reflecting in her eyes.
Her eyes never left Chiya as the girl approached her, holding an expression that was both determined and laid back. When they were roughly two or three feet apart, she stopped in her tracks, turning to lean against the red wooden railing of the stone bridge.
Kon did the same, looking at the moon's reflection in the flowing water for a moment before turning back to the other girl. "What are you doing here, Chiya?"
"...I wanted to talk to you."
"About?"
"Well, you see..." Chiya turned to face her, the moonlight exaggerating all of her features, making her stand out more. Her hair was flowing in the wind and her eyes were shining brightly as she looked into her eyes. "For a long time now, I've loved y-"
"Kon! Are you listening?"
"H- Huh?"
Nina gave her a look that could be described as annoyed yet concerned. "Are you alright, Kon? You seem distracted."
"Come to think of it, you have been spacing out a lot," Koume commented. "Did something happen?"
"A- Ah, um, no, I'm fine. You can continue with the lesson, Nina-sensei."
Nina sighed. "Well... that was all for today anyway. Kon, if you're not feeling well, make sure you get some rest."
"I'm fine!"
Chiya grabbed her sleeve. "Are you sure? If you don't feel good, I can give you a tummy rub-"
"I- I don't need it! I'm fine!" She blurted, pulling away.
"But it'll feel good-"
"I have to go!" She stormed towards her room, ducking her head in embarrassment.
Once she entered her room, she grabbed her kokkuri paper, folding it and hiding it inside her clothes, along with the coin. She immediately returned to where everyone else was, making her way to the door.
"I'm going on a walk," she stated, leaving before anyone could say anything to her.
After climbing the giant staircase on the outskirts of the city, she sat down in the field, pulling out the kokkuri paper and coin, placing the items on the ground in front of her.
Placing her finger on the coin, she recited the incantation, until she could feel the metal start to move. She was silent for a short moment, debating what to ask. She was here to ask about Chiya, but... it was embarrassing, even if she was talking to a fox spirit.
"...Will things turn out the way I want?"
She silently waited as the coin started to move, sliding over different letters to form words.
"...Maybe? T- Then... what can I do to make it a yes?"
The coin started to move again, guiding Kon's finger across the paper.
"Play... your... cards... right? E- Er... is this supposed to help me?" Kon had forgotten how vague kokkuri could be at times.
With a sigh, she recited the parting chant, so that she could safely remove her finger from the coin, and hide the items in her clothes again.
"What a pain..." she murmured, sitting down on the top step of the staircase that led to town. She had held meaningful conversations with the fox spirit before, but sometimes it felt as though it were just messing with her, trying to annoy her.
It was possible that it was just tired of Kon's roundabout ways of asking questions. But still, she didn't want to embarrass herself by blatantly asking a fox spirit for love advice. Plus, she didn't want to bother it or make it angry. She would figure it out herself.
...Or that's what she thought, at least. She still didn't know what to do. Impatiently, she pulled out the paper again, staring at it. "...It wouldn't get annoyed... would it? I'm sure other people have asked it more pointless questions before..."
Kon thought back to when Chiya asked it whether it preferred to have its belly rubbed or its back.
"...Never mind, it's definitely been asked more stupid questions before."
Giving in, Kon returned to where she had been sitting in the field earlier, laying out the paper for the second time and placing the coin near the top. Repeating the incantation with her finger carefully staying on the coin, she felt it begin to move again.
"Does..." She struggled to keep her voice clear. "Does Chiya... Would Chiya ever like me, like, as more than a friend?"
The coin moved, forming the word "possibly."
Kon took a deep breath. "Is there any way of knowing that she could like me?"
Painfully slowly, the coin slid across the letters, telling her the story of what happened in a recent summoning, when Koume removed her finger from the coin too early, which allowed the fox spirit to possess her, and then Nono, and eventually Kon. It told her everything that Chiya had said and done, leaving Kon's face burning by the end of the story.
Stuttering, she thanked it before saying the parting incantation, hiding the items away yet again. She made her way to the staircase, leaning against one of the red beams, hoping to clear her head.
"Kon! There you are!"
She looked down. Her heart did a flip upon seeing Chiya racing up the stairs towards her at top speed.
"Chiya, wh-"
She was interrupted by the shorter girl tackling her to the ground in a hug. "I was looking all over for you! It was getting late and we were worried so I started looking all over for you but you're here a lot so I looked here and-"
"Chiya. I'm fine, you don't have to worry. I was just..." Kon looked away, "practicing kokkuri divining."
"Really? But you don't usually practice for so long..." Chiya still had her pinned to the ground.
"I- I went on a walk first. Chiya, can you get off of me?"
"Oh, right."
Chiya got up, offering Kon a hand to help her stand up as well.
"So what did you ask?"
"Huh?"
"When you were practicing using kokkuri!"
"O- Oh. Um... just, stuff about the future, I guess?"
"Hm," Chiya seemed satisfied with that answer, and turned to look at the sunset. Kon hadn't even realized how late it was.
"We should probably go. The others will be wondering where we are, and Nina-sensei is making dinner!"
"A- Actually, Chiya, could we talk for a minute?"
"About what?"
"Well... I talked to the fox spirit, and-"
"You talked to her?! You should've brought me, I wanted to see her again! She was funny."
Kon sighed. "Well, um, she told me what happened last time... and um... what you said... and... did..."
"...Oh."
"S- So, I was just wondering... what do you think of me?"
Chiya looked over the town for a minute, and Kon wondered if she was even going to answer.
Finally, when she was about to give up, the other girl spoke. "You're really smart, and nice, and you make me laugh. And you're really pretty, I like your hair and your eyes. And your tummy is really soft! You make a really good pillow."
Kon wrapped Chiya in a hug, keeping her red face hidden from the shorter girl. "I... I think that way about you too... I- I love being close to you."
Chiya returned the hug. "Then let's be even closer from now on!"
She nodded, moving one of her hands to pet Chiya's hair. After a moment they separated.
"We should probably go get dinner, huh?"
"Yeah!" Chiya grabbed the taller girl's hand, leading her down the steps.
"...Since we're gonna be closer, does this mean I get to rub your tummy again?"
"N- No! And don't say 'again' as if I gave you permission to in the first place!"
"Aw, but it'll help us be closer!"
"W- Well, we'll just have to find other ways to be closer, then!"
"Why can't I?!"
"Because it's embarrassing!"
"But I've done it before, so what's the problem? Besides, you're so soft-"
"Like I said, I never gave you permission in the first place! And don't say that."
"Why?"
"It's embarrassing!"
They continued their pointless argument until they got back. After eating dinner, Chiya followed Kon to her room. She gave up on the arguing, and rested in the taller girl's lap instead until she started to doze off while Kon studied.
As Chiya slept, she looked down at her, smiling as she ran a gentle hand across her cheek.
"I love you," she whispered.
