Imagine Hitomi’s living on her own for the first time and having a rough go of it without her family’s wealth to back her up. She feels about as out of place as she looks when browsing a dollar store near her new home. Long time employee Kyoko is amused at first as Hitomi marvels at generic brands and seemingly good deals but her amusement starts to give way to a bit of a crush before long.

The arcade was loud, filthy, and full of the kind of low-quality cheap food that probably had no nutritional value whatsoever. It was against everything Hitomi stood for and yet it also drew her curiosity. Like a moth she'd keep walking outside and moving up to the window for a look only to walk away and repeat the process.

On one such occasion there would be a young redhead with a cheerful fanged smile on the other side of the window. Startled by this sight, Hitomi would back away and stumble falling onto her rear. At first the girl inside would be laughing uncontrollably, but eventually she would poke her head outside the door a little. "You okay?"

Hitomi was in no mood to humor this girl who had caused her to fall, but it wasn't long before she inched closer to the door to try and see further inside. "How do you have fun in such a noisy place?" She would ask. Holding the door open and leaning against it, Kyoko would gesture with her other arm towards the inside. 

Slowly but surely she'd step inside, walking beside Kyoko who would be giving her a grand tour. Occasionally an arcade machine they passed would make a random which would scare Hitomi and her screaming would make it hard for Kyoko to hold in laughter. 

"There's no way I'm getting on that thing."

"Okay, that's fine."

"Really?"

"Yeah. But if you don't get up here I'm telling the servers over at the food court that it's your birthday."

It seemed that threat didn't quite land the way Kyoko had hoped, and she'd shake her head slightly at Hitomi's innocence. When she explained a bunch of overworked, underpaid waiters were going to sing at her with fake enthusiasm loud enough for everyone to hear the green-haired girl would hastily jump up to the second dancing pad. 

She had a surprising sense of rhythm despite a rocky start, and pretty soon Kyoko was actually having to try rather than just humoring her. By the time the night was drawing to a close Kyoko was doing anything she could to keep Hitomi around just a bit longer. She could care less about stuffed animals but she kept urging Hitomi to win her teddy bears from claw machines or appealing to her pride to trick her into contests. 

"I should be going, I have school tomorrow."

The distress was visible in Kyoko's eyes, she didn't have a phone she could use to call Hitomi and people that were important to her rarely returned if they left. 

"I keep forgetting other people still go there. I'll probably be here later if you wanna hang out again." She tried to seem aloof about the whole thing, leaning against a nearby machine and chewing loudly on the first snack food she found when browsing her hoodie pockets. 

As soon as Hitomi had left, Kyoko would tightly hug the stuffed animal in her arms while watching the retreating form from the window. Unexpectedly the toy would squeak and startle the redhead who would toss the toy. "Fuck off." 

After a few moments of silence she would hastily retrieve the toy and dust it off.

Imagine Kyoko is a well-known mechanic in town. Just learning to drive and not all that good at it yet, Hitomi often comes in to get repairs done on the family car. Kyoko doesn't dress or act anything like the girls Hitomi is used to, and what started out as interest is slowly becoming a crush.

As someone who lived in less than glamorous conditions, the idea of someone so wealthy just casually walking beside her disgusted Kyoko. Treating Hitomi so poorly was actually coming from her personal envy though, she didn't have the kind of funds Hitomi did and she was worried this meant Hitomi would steal Sayaka right out from under her nose and keep her nice and happy. 

She would fight back in her own way, she was more of a buddy to Sayaka than Hitomi could be and so the two of them would enjoy playing around as allies of justice. Hitomi had too much dignity to do such things, but she would return fire by buying Sayaka a small collection of anime figurines she'd been talking about wanting. 

This fighting would continue for weeks, and as time wore on Hitomi's composure would fail as she started to be just as openly angry as Kyoko. Feeling she was causing a rift between her friends, Sayaka had taken to spending time with Kyousuke instead. 

Realizing they'd driven her away, Hitomi and Kyoko would drown their sorrows in food. Kyoko would be going through boxes of Pocky while Hitomi nibbled at cheesecake. They would glance at eachother across the cafeteria table now and then, the fight still in their eyes even though the prize had walked away. 

"Well, I don't know about you but I think I'm going to be okay." Hitomi would say between bites. "You're probably going to be a wreck though." She would whimper slightly when Kyoko threw a Pocky stick that bounced off of her forehead, the redhead cackling. "Aww, did you not get what you wanted for once? That's a shame, I really feel bad for you." 

The food would be discarded as their faces neared, aggression in their eyes as they waited to see who would be the first to back down. "You probably don't even know how to treat her." The redhead would quip, and Hitomi would put her arms around her. 

"I know how to pamper someone!" 

"I bet." 

"Is that a challenge?" 

"Yeah!"

It wasn't certain when they went from banter to kissing, but neither side wanted to relinquish the lead as their tongues dueled. It was Kyoko who would go weak-kneed first, and as the kiss broke Hitomi would smile at her. 

"I'm not done with you, I'm going to take that challenge of yours." Taking Kyoko's hand, Hitomi would lead her outside as class drew to a close. Sitting at the table, she would be trying hard to act like she didn't like it as Hitomi gave her nice clothes, brushed her hair tenderly, and fed her expensive cake. 

"I-if I admit defeat, can I come back for more sometime?" It was rare to see Kyoko so vulnerable, but Hitomi was all smiles. The redhead was in need of a lot of love that life just hadn't given her, and she wouldn't be busy all the time like Kyousuke or Sayaka.

"I suppose I could find it in my heart, Miss Sakura."
