Sorry if you're not doing these anymore but NozoEli 25!! NAZE, KURUSHIKU NARUUU NOOOO~
i’m so sorry this is way overdue, cries
(25. “We can never be together” kiss)
--
A whispered why tickles Nozomi’s ear. The embrace locking them together is tight but the feeling isn’t entirely warm. She sighs heavily and leans back to look at Eli in the face, tracing the creases of worry there with the tips of her fingers.
Eli’s expression nearly crumbles, but it’s Nozomi’s hold that seems to be keeping her together.
“It’s... because we’re both girls, isn’t it?”
“You know it wouldn’t work. Not like this,” Nozomi smiles regretfully, still sadly stroking the taller girl’s pale cheeks.
“We don’t have to tell anyone—”
“Please...”
Just this one, just for tonight, Nozomi presses her lips against Eli’s and keeps them there. Just like their hug, the kiss seems to be missing something they’re both desperate for. It’s empty and sad.
They end the kiss and burst out into laughter after only two seconds of strained silence.
“Cut, cut!” Nico yells, furiously waving her hands. “What’s the matter with you two?! Laughing every single time... get it together!”
“Sorry, Nicocchi!” Nozomi giggles as Eli nuzzles her forehead. “But the lines are just so cheesy, we can’t—”
Umi sulks in a corner and mumbles too quietly for anyone else to hear. “I wrote the script, you know...”
