Riko + Yoshiko = Riri x Yohane
The scritch-scratch of the pen against paper filled the room as Riko penned formulas and solved a bunch of math equations that were issued as homework, and some additional questions simply to serve as a distraction from her errant thoughts for a certain fallen angel girl who was also her study buddy for the day.
And by errant thoughts, Riko is referring to the big, fat growing affection she has for said fallen angel girl, who was busy balancing a sleek black pencil with engravings Riko assumes was carved on by Yoshiko herself, on an eraser that was, of course, black in colour too, while the eraser balances on a small, bat-shaped pencil sharpener. Riko's lips twitched upwards as she idly wandered where her girlfriend went to shop for the stationery unique to her persona. Riko cannot help but admire the dedication and passion.
Riko sighs quietly, tapping the tip of her pen twice on an empty space of her worksheet, not minding the two blue dots that formed.
Girlfriend… The beautiful, silly, but wonderful girl sitting across of her in her room was her girlfriend. Everything still felt so new, as it should, since they only started dating two months ago. And as new relationships go…
Riko bites her bottom lip for a moment as she steals a glance at Yoshiko’s lips – protruding out in a pout as her tower of stationery fell apart. Yoshiko picks up the pencil, furrows her eyebrows as she faces off against her own homework (after 30 minutes of goofing around!).
Riko sighs again.
It has been two months. And in between the loving gazes, adorable blushes, sweaty handholding because they both get nervous, the comfortable bantering, and Riko was even featured on Yoshiko’s Fallen Angel video once! Introduced as her General Demon which Riko teased Yoshiko if that was code for girlfriend. Yoshiko turned as red as her favourite tabasco sauce as she spluttered out a series of denials before choking out yes. (Cute!) All that! And yet, they have not shared a kiss.
Riko does not sigh again. Instead, she rolls her pen across the table till it hits Yoshiko’s fingers. Yoshiko looks up, tilts her head to the sight and smiles.
“What’s up, Riri? Are you perhaps having trouble with solving your math assignment? Fear not, for I am here to bestow upon you enough dark power that you will be able to overcome those sinful formulas and sinister problem sums!” Yoshiko strikes a pose, three fingers up to her shining amethyst eyes, and a confident smile on her face.
Riko inhales deeply to calm her nerves before asking, “I can take your word for it?”
“Mm? Of course! I am the great Fallen Angel Yohane. Ku ku ku!” Yoshiko blinks out of her persona for a second before holding up her pose again.
Riko shifts to walk on her knees closer to her girlfriend. Noting the way Yoshiko’s pose falters and lips twitch, watching her approach.
“Um…Good that you knew to move closer for…better range in giving you the energy-”
“Yoshiko-chan.”
“It’s Yohane. But, y-yes?” Yoshiko squeaks as Riko’s face were mere centimeters apart from hers.
“I would very much like to kiss you right now.” Riko held their gaze even as Yoshiko blinked rapidly.
“P-Please…” Yoshiko’s eyes drifted to Riko’s lips and stayed there.
Riko licks her lips and grins slightly at how enraptured Yoshiko was with her lips, feeling pride at being able to make Yoshiko gulp audibly at the sight of her licking her lips.
“Are you ready?” Riko whispers.
“No…?” Yoshiko’s lips quivers, her voice an octave higher.
“Do you want to kiss me?” A petulant pouting tone finds its way into Riko’s voice.
Yoshiko nods rapidly before squeaking out, “I do. I want to. For a while now but…I… Do you?”
“Why would I not want to kiss my girlfriend, Yoshiko-chan?” Riko emphasizes her girlfriend’s name to make her point.
Yoshiko tears her eyes away from Riko’s lips to look into Riko’s passionate and determined hazel eyes. “It’s Yohane.” Yoshiko could not help but say. “Please kiss me.”
Riko breaks out in a grin before moving forwards again so that her lips ghosts over her girlfriend’s waiting lips. “Sure?”
“Stop making me beg for our first kiss, Riri!” Yoshiko hisses in a whisper.
Riko giggles before her piercing, heartful eyes returned them to a serious mood, before Yoshiko could let her mind run into overdrive, Riko presses her lips to Yoshiko’s, her eyes fluttering close without conscious effort. They both dared not to move, simply feeling their lips against each other for an extended amount of time before Riko pulls away to lick her lips again.
Yoshiko reaches up to gently bury her fingers in Riko’s smooth, red hair and pulled Riko back for another meeting of their lips. Yoshiko’s eyes remained resolutely closed as she kissed Riko firmly, making Riko’s heart drum painfully fast in her chest. Riko tried to shift subtly for a different angle but Yoshiko mistakes it as Riko wanting to end the kiss so she gasps apart, looking partially guilty.
“I’m sorry. I just- I wanted to kiss you again so I grabbed you. And I-”
Riko puts a pointer finger to Yoshiko’s lips that she wished she was kissing instead. “Firstly, don’t apologize after kissing me.”
Yoshiko swallows and nods.
“Secondly, you didn’t do anything I did not want you to.”
Yoshiko slowly nods.
“Now… Kiss me again?”
Yoshiko nods fervently, pulling Riko into her lap as they resume kissing.
It was their first kiss and more, so they both were only slightly bashful at the fact that the sun have set by the time they could pry themselves apart enough to intertwine their fingers and giggle shyly.
“I really do not want my mum to see us now.”
“If my lips are as kiss-swollen as yours, I don’t want anyone seeing me.” Yoshiko shakes her head with a smile she was unable to wipe off her face ever since they finished their make-out session.
Riko rests her head on Yoshiko’s shoulder with a chuckle. “Gosh, no… Imagine if you bump into You-chan on the way home!”
“That dense bucket? I’ll probably get away with telling her I ate a lot of tabasco-covered Takoyaki…” Yoshiko turns to look at Riko’s well-kissed lips.
“If Chika saw you though…”
Riko laughs and covers her face. “Ugh, I won’t hear the end of it.”
Yoshiko tugged at their intertwined fingers, an unspoken request.
Riko smiles and turns to meet Yoshiko halfway for another kiss.
When they part, Riko murmurs, “I think I’m addicted.”
Yoshiko hums for a few seconds. Riko knows she’s gathering courage. And she’d wait however long Yoshiko needed because the way her heart did a whole dance routine, she knew she’d never grow tired of the way Yoshiko loves her.
“I know I’m addicted to you, Riri.”
And their lips met for another magical kiss.
Author Notes
I don’t know why I thought I might want to be extra and write some of the math Riko is doing in the fic for funsies. Which then made me think “I wonder how different Japanese high school math is to what I know” and then some really…hard math question with how they solve it and stuff was recommended…and I watched…and I was like “Well, I am certain I did not learn these!” XD So, either I deep dive into algebra that I never knew again, or I just write fluff minus the math. You know which I chose! XD
That aside, I hope you enjoyed the read!
Leave me a comment if you like~ (Riko and Yoshiko will just be kissing while I read ‘em ;D)
Quiet sounds of a needle and string going in and out of fabric filled the room for hours as the Costume Designers of Aqours, Ruby and You were focused on finishing up the next outfit the girls were going to wear.
Ruby could go on and on with her lips curving upwards every now and then as whenever her attention faltered or motivation depletes, she just had to look up to see her senior, fellow idol group mate and good friend AKA You, and she’ll nod to herself with newfound determination.
You-chan is working hard so Ruby got to work harder too!!
Ruby’s eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the outfit’s sleeves she was working on. She felt a little greedy, however, as she peeked back up to see You once more; getting slightly lost in You’s eyes that held the sky and mystical ocean.
You-chan’s eyelashes are rather long and pretty…
Ruby feels her cheeks pinkens as she realized she was staring a lot, so she shook her head, her twintails fluttering lightly before she returned to sewing.
After some time of focus, Ruby could not kick the habit of staring at You every 5, 10, or 15-minute interval for that boost of motivation. And that’s when she notices that the ash-brunette has dozed off.
Ah. You-chan…she fell asleep.
Ruby swallows audibly, though it does not wake the swimmer.
You-chan’s sleeping face… so rare and… beautiful…
Ruby shuffles closer and sits beside You, taking away the costume You was sewing so that both You's hard work and You will be safe from the needle being held carelessly in sleeping hands.
As always, You-chan does amazing work making costumes… I want to wear all that she makes~
Ruby admires You’s progress thus far before going back to being close to the high diver whose breathing was soft and constant; sleepy.
You-chan’s sleeping sounds…
Ruby tries her rubesty to calm her racing heart so that she could focus on listening to You’s breathing but it was tough, Ruby’s heart drummed relentlessly against her ribcage like a song of being in love.
You-chan…
Ruby inches just a bit more closer so that their thighs and shoulders are touching as the redhead continues working on the outfit she was making.
After some time though, Ruby gets sleepy too. Perhaps it was the gentle warmth from You to her, or the lull of You’s rhythmic breathing. Either way, Ruby gives in to the temptation of resting with You who had her back resting against Ruby’s bed.
Just a short nap…wouldn’t hurt right?
Ruby carefully puts away the outfit she's working on before indulging in laying on You's lap, snuggling comfortably, sighing blissfully.
Ahh…~ This must be bliss.
Ruby grins as she rubs her cheeks against You’s lap she nestled in.
Somehow… I feel so safe…and warm…whenever I’m beside You-chan…
Ruby reaches over blindly to take You’s hand into her own, holding You’s hand as her eyelids grew heavy.
You-chan… I love you…
.
.
.
You wakes up with a slight jolt, wondering what time is it and where's Ruby as she turned her head left and right, her bleary eyes still holding sleepiness searched the place.
Till she notices that Ruby was laying on her lap, a look of peaceful and cute – You smiles softly at that, spending a moment of appreciating Ruby’s affectionate daringness in sleeping on her lap when she fell asleep by accident.
You notices that Ruby and her both had a blanket over them, one each. And she could guess that Dia gifted them with warm blankets and more time to sleep when she came to check on them, whenever that was.
You reaches for her phone that was thankfully close enough. She notes that the last bus already left long ago so she came to an agreement of not panicking or rushing to call her mum about being unable to go home.
You places her phone beside her and gazes down at Ruby curled facing inwards, facing towards her… The ash-brunette gently tucks stray hair from Ruby's face to smile lovingly down at the sleeping redhead.
You whispers, "You're such a hard worker... A cute one."
You giggles softly to herself, entranced by Ruby's adorable and serene sleeping face. Ruby makes a quiet sleepy moan while You caresses Ruby's hair with that soft loving gaze never leaving Ruby.
After a moment, You leans close to Ruby's ear, whispering, her breath hot over Ruby's ear that burnt a hot red, "Ruby-chan... I love you."
You then falls asleep again after squeezing Ruby's hand that was holding hers, her hand caressing Ruby's hair softly falling to her side, failing to notice Ruby's blushing ears and flushed cheeks.
You-chan...why are you so cool???
Ruby rubs her blush-covered head further into You’s thighs as she carried out her decision to sleep with You like this tonight. Or at least, try her best to when her palms are sweaty from nerves and holding You’s hand plus her heart fluttered noisily inside.
How You woke again later to princess carry Ruby into bed and slept with her, is another story for another time.
I hope everyone enjoyed the read feeling like “Awwww~” (´ ∀ ` *)
Once again, Happy Birthday to our cutest baby of Aqours!! Ruby-chaaaan!!!! ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

Bet y’all weren’t expecting me to write KyanRika! Wahahaha!!!! XD
May you enjoy~ XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rikyako sighs in between catching her breath, wiping her sweat off her face with a towel in hand as she walked to an open seat in the gathering room with the long white tables.
I’m exhausted…
Rikyako notices that Aikyan sits directly opposite of her and she feels her heartbeat speed up when it should be slowing back down after their dance practice.
Ah… Aikyan is…sitting in front of me… Wiping her sweat…smiling…
“…might not be getting that part right?”
To Ainya.
Laughter bubbles out of Aikyan as she shakes her hand, reassuring Ainya and agreeing at the same time. “Yes, you should probably turn a little slower and then…Ha!”
“Ha!” Ainya mimics as taught then giggles.
Aikyan laughs along and turns back in front, catching Rikyako staring, their eyes meet and Rikyako hopes her face is still flushed from earlier instead of being caught blushing because she was staring at Aikyan.
Gosh, what do I do when I keep blushing just from our eyes meeting??
Rikyako raises her towel to use wiping her sweat as an excuse for breaking the eye contact. When she hears Aikyan talking to Ainya again, she sighs under her breath turning her head again to see that the other girls were drinking sports drinks and cooling off.
Some even wiping each other’s sweat – and by some – it was Anju and Shuka, smiling tiredly but blissfully as they pushed the towel on each other’s exposed skin to clean the sweat off, laughing about whatever they were talking about. Rikyako felt a tinge of envy.
Anchan and Shuka look so cute together… I mean they are and… If only I…
Rikyako looks back to the person who comes to mind whenever she thinks of a romantic partner and when their eyes meet again, Rikyako drops her head immediately to stare at a space on the table.
Eh!? W-Was Aikyan looking at me? Am I imagining things?
Ainya for once was sharp and noticed something going on between Rikyako and Aikyan, or perhaps it was her spot-on gay sense tingling again, but the small and cute singer asks, “Is there something you want to say to Kyan, Rikyako?”
“Eh? No…I… No?” Rikyako smiles a confused smile to Ainya, trying and failing to not let her eyes peek back at Aikyan to see her face, that beautiful porcelain face and just to see if she was looking.
If Anchan and Shuka are literal magnets, my eyes and Aikyan just might be the next magnetic thing since I cannot seem to not look. At. Her!! Aaahhh!
Rikyako kept up the serene smile while she panicked on the inside. Conflicted at how badly she wants to openly stare at Aikyan whom she has a crush on and wanted to not admit to it. Or not admit it to the world.
Ainya hums thoughtfully. “Hmm… You’ve been looking at her though.”
“N-No. I was not!” Rikyako feels her cheeks grew hot again at being called out for her blatant staring.
Ahh, was I that obvious about it??
“Hmm… Lately, you’ve been doing that a lot.” Ainya pushes.
“You’re misunderstanding things…” Rikyako does look to Aikyan again, however, and quickly averts her gaze when their eyes meet, causing Rikyako’s heart to skip a beat again.
What is with those eyes and their magic capability to make my heart do those somersault kinds of things!!
Averting her gaze by turning her head away again, Rikyako happens to make eye contact with Shuka on the left side, just done giving Anju some headpats for doing well in today’s dance practice; the leader of Aqours giving a silly “Heh heh heh” to Shuka.
Ah… I wish I could be as honest as Shuka…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rikyako manages to avoid having to explain her obvious staring and constant fidgety behaviour around Aikyan and with everyone changed out of their practice wear and into their casual clothes; everyone was free to leave the dance studio and do what they want for the rest of the day.
Maybe I could ask Shuka for advice…
Rikyako has been thinking long and hard about this, ever since she realized her growing feelings for her groupmate who was also her subunit mate, all the time spent together and the impossible heart racing she had to live with when they were close..! Rikyako wanted some progress and felt like it would be best to confide to someone.
Shuka is always such a good listener to what I have to say…
But getting Shuka alone was hard. Shuka was almost always with someone if not Anju!
Gosh, are you forever with Anchan or what??
When resting, she was with Anju. When changing, she was talking to Anju. When walking about she was chilling with Anju! And on other times when Rikyako thought Shuka was alone, the girl was chatting with another member!!!
When will Shuka give me a chance to get her alone..! Mou!
Shuka was just about to flutter over to AiAi to chat when she lets out a surprised yelp as she was pulled by her arm backwards. “Rikyako? What’s up?”
“Can we talk for a bit? I…need your advice on something.” Rikyako blinks nervously as she blurts out her intentions.
Shuka smiles a wry smile, seemingly having a hunch on what is up. “Your treat?”
She’s a literal little sister.
“Fine.” Rikyako returns a relaxed smile at Shuka grinning cutely to get treated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the café, Rikyako chose a corner of the store where it was quieter and less busy to sit at. Not wanting any possible eavesdroppers and also not wanting to get overly conscious about people’s gazes.
Shuka scoots into her spot and grins. “I’ll have a Chocolate Chip Crème Frappuccino and a…Blueberry Crumble Muffin!”
Rikyako chuckles. “Sure, sure.”
Hmm… What should I get..?
Rikyako heads up to the counter, with one person ordering in front, she took the time to browse the menu and display of pastries.
What should I ask Shuka first..? About how to be confident about my feelings..? Or about how to confess..? I guess this should be obvious.
It was her turn to order so Rikyako steps up with a soft smile greeting the cashier. “May I have a Chocolate Chip Crème Frappuccino, a Mocha Frappuccino, and one Blueberry Crumble Muffin?”
“One Chocolate Chip Crème Frappuccino, one Mocha Frappuccino, and one Blueberry Crumble Muffin. And the name..?”
“Ah. Ka-chan.” Rikyako says and lowers her head as she remembers how she thought the rest of the girls were calling her mum when they meant to use the ‘ka’ in her Rikako.
The cashier lady probably did not think much about it but Rikyako still felt slight embarrassment from her silliness.
Maybe I should have said RKK.
Rikyako makes the payment and decides to wait about instead of going back to her seat; wanting just a few more minutes to think of what she might want to ask Shuka for help with.
It’s this day and age already and yet… I can’t help but feel that there’s a chance that Aikyan might not like me that way…
Rikyako shakes her head lightly.
No, that’s not it… I’m worried…about what others would think. Everyone seems open-minded, especially seen with Anchan and Shuka’s relationship reveal…
Rikyako closes her eyes as her eyebrows knitted together.
No… There’s no point lying to myself. The problem here is that… I’m worried about what the world thinks about me being in love with another girl…
Rikyako sighs just as her name was called.
“Ka-chan.”
Rikyako puts on a smile quickly as she took her orders onto a tray and returns to Shuka who pushed her phone to the side and gave Rikyako a smile and thanks.
Somehow… I don’t feel as scared about these feelings when looking at Shuka.
“Ooh~ This looks yummy.” Shuka held the fork in hand as she eyed her dessert. “Oh, you didn’t get yourself something?”
“No, I got to keep my calorie count checked.” Rikyako smirks and Shuka laughs.
“Right, right. There was that.” Shuka takes a bite and elicits a happy sound.
So carefree…
“Were you texting Anchan?”
“Mm. Was it that obvious?” Shuka nods, swallows, and replies.
Rikyako sips her drink. “Now that I think about it, it was quite the redundant question since you two are always texting when apart.”
Shuka’s cheeks pinken slightly. “That’s not true.”
Rikyako shakes her head with a fond smile at the younger girl’s bashfulness. “Did you…tell Anchan that you’re with me?”
Shuka seems thoughtful for a moment before nodding. “She was going to take me out on a date after all.”
“Oh.” Rikyako’s eyes widens slightly. “I’m sorry, if you got something on-”
“Was.” Shuka repeats then smiles widely. “Anju texted me that she can’t believe she got beaten by you in asking me out~”
Oh… So they have yet to make plans… Thank goodness.
“It is truly hard to believe since you two are stuck together like glue!” Rikyako shakes her head again, giving herself a mental pat on the back for being able to get Shuka alone.
Shuka laughs. “It would seem to be the case.”
“It is the case!” Rikyako chuckles at Shuka’s funny smile and shaking of her head, pretending to be in denial.
Granting some silence to munch on the muffin and drink their drinks, Rikyako fidgeted with the paper that once held the straw till it was all crumpled up nicely.
“Shuka…”
“Yeah?”
“How did you decide that…you are 100% gay for Anchan?” Rikyako squishes the paper in her hand tightly, nervous about whatever answer she could be getting, nervous about the topic.
Ahhh.
Shuka looks right at Rikyako before reacting. “Pfft, how I fell in love with Anju? That’s easy-”
“The being gay part is important too.” Rikyako hurries to emphasize.
“I know. And you’re overthinking things, Rikyako.” Shuka had a gentle smile on her lips and Rikyako felt her tenseness reduce a little.
“Love is love. Regardless of gender. Anju is Anju. So… I fell in love with her.”
Rikyako nods, listening intently.
Love is love… Anchan is Anchan and so… Shuka who is Shuka. Fell in love with Anchan…
“And Kyan is Kyan. You’re in love with Kobayashi Aika-san. Correct?”
Kyan is Kyan. And I’m in love with—
Rikyako’s eyes bulged and her mouth fell agape in surprise as Shuka had a big smug grin, looking ridiculous as she waggled her eyebrows teasingly at Rikyako.
“H-How did you..?” Rikyako’s face was hot and red.
“Call it women’s intuition!” Shuka cackles.
Rikyako snorts. “Even though you’re a kid.”
“Hey! I’m already an adult!” Shuka puffs her cheeks out indignantly at Rikyako who forgets about her own crush problems as a tease bubbled in her mind and out her mouth.
“Anchan made you an adult?”
“Wha— T-That’s not the point!” Shuka blushes immediately causing Rikyako to blush a little more too.
“She did, huh…” Rikyako looks away and so does Shuka.
I guess that should be expected but aahhhh..!! No, don’t imagine it, Rikako. Shuka is too pure to be…to be… by Anchan…! No stop. The images. Aaahh!
Shuka fidgets with the straw in her drink, stirring the contents randomly. “Can we not talk of that right now?”
With extra reddened cheeks, Rikyako nods and mumbles. “Looks like I will need to look for you for help again if I can…come to terms with myself and find the courage to…”
Confess…///
“R-Right. I’m here for you, Aida.”
“Saitou.”
Rikyako and Shuka share a staring match before bursting into laughter.
.
.
.
Shuka was finished with her blueberry muffin when she props her chin on her hand. “So…Do you think you will be able to confess to Aikyan?”
“Don’t think so…” Rikyako sighs as she glanced at Shuka and back down at the table.
I know I’m in love with Aikyan but how am I supposed to even go about confessing to her???
“Rikyako.” Shuka calls for the older girl’s attention.
When Rikyako looks up into earnest brown eyes, she could not help but sit up straighter.
“Tell me who you love.”
“Eh? You already know..?” Rikyako’s eyebrows furrow in confusion.
“Tell me who you love.” Shuka repeats with a small nod, trusting that Rikyako will catch on.
Oh… She wants me to say it aloud.
“I…” Rikyako begins and finds her voice stuck.
“I… I love…” Rikyako licks her lips and grabs her drink to help with this sudden dryness of her lips.
Why is it so hard??
Shuka waits patiently, subtly placing her drink to the side, giving Rikyako her full attention.
“I love… …”
Rikyako wanted to let out another sigh, wanted to give up and say it was too difficult for her to do so right now. Maybe she needed another day. A few more hours. Some alone time to pep-talk herself. But before she could—
“Riiikyako.” Shuka drags the first syllable for a bit and Rikyako looks up to see that patient smile again; the magic of Shuka’s smile already stealing some tension away from Rikyako’s creased eyebrows and heavy shoulders. “Just think about her. Don’t think about anything else. …Then tell me who it is.”
I love… the one I love…
“She’s lovely.”
“I’m sure she is.” Shuka’s lips pull higher as she knew it was working.
“She’s kind. And patient.”
Shuka nods and Rikyako feels something bubbling inside her – the desire to talk about the person she loves.
“She’s silly and funny. And she makes me laugh and knows me. Like, like no other…” Rikyako unknowingly lets out a dreamy sigh as she thought of her crush.
Shuka nods encouragingly.
“She’s someone that I wish to be able to…be together more. And to… h-h-hold hands with… Like you and Anchan do.”
Shuka chuckles softly. “I’m sure you’ll get to.”
“And…maybe get a kabedon or two…” Rikyako scratches her pinkened cheeks at the idea.
Shuka giggles. “She’d get embarrassed too though.”
“Very much so.” Rikyako giggles along.
“I love that about her too.”
“Me too…”
“Who is this wonderful person~?” Shuka sing-songs.
“She’s… Kobayashi Aika. I’m sure you know her too.” Rikyako grins, a glint in her eyes and a weight off her chest.
“I love Aikyan…” Rikyako says aloud, in a gentle tone, in a voice filled with so much love that it surprised herself.
Shuka beams from ear to ear. “Now go tell her that!”
“O-One step at a time!” Rikyako covers her face with both hands; failing to hide the wide smile she could not help but smile at admitting the enormous love she feels for Aikyan.
Confessing was a hurdle for another day. Right now, Rikyako simply felt lighter, like she could float up into the air with just these feelings of love she has for Aikyan. And she loved the feeling.

PAAAAART ONEEEEEEE!!!!
Yes, you heard that right! There’s going to be another chapter of KyanRika in the near future!!! *O*
And I do hope y’all look forward to it~ XD
But first..~ How did you like this first chapter? OwO
I thought it’d be cute to touch on Rikyako being a little unsure about…admitting her feelings. It’s something that isn’t easy after all! And even if it’s so freaking obvious that she has a big crush on Aikyan, it doesn’t mean that Rikyako herself wouldn’t be worrying about it~ :))))
Also since Rikyako loves mentioning how much she likes that Shuka listens to her talk; why not let Shuka be the wingwoman while I have some of my favourite AnShuka in this right? Hehehe~ UwU
Leave a comment if you like! ^w^ Let me know your favourite parts! :D

Happy Birthday Dearest Maki-chan!!
You are simply soooooo lovely and precious and I hope you know that!! *O*
Now, may you who is reading this - enjoy~ ;D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A gentle breeze.
Soft, sweet and gentle blows past Maki’s red curls and she looks over to see the same wind blow her senior’s sleek black hair that said senior held back from becoming a mess, and eyes closed for a moment from the chilly air.
Baka…
Maki purses her lips at the girl walking beside her. “Have you not seen enough of this already?”
I know you’ve been here so many times now.
Bright ruby eyes looked at her, directly at her, it made Maki squirm from the inside.
W-What is with her? Looking at me so…honest and straightforward…
“What do you mean?” The shorter girl asked innocently.
“This.” Maki gestures all around her as she looks to the cherry blossom trees all around them as Nico brought her here for flower viewing.
You’ve already been here so many times with others… N-Not that I’m thinking that I wanted to come along too. Or that I wished I could be the first one to see it with Nico-chan!
Nico blinks as she reaches an understanding of her girlfriend’s concern. She has been flower viewing so many times to help Shizuku with her theatre act after all. Nico smiles, no, grins widely with too much mirth in those glittery red eyes for Maki to relax.
Ughh, she’s smiling like a little imp. Annoying imp. Annoying…cute imp. Ughhh.
“You want to know why I brought you flower viewing today, Makki~?” The Universe’s No.1 Idol flashes a blindingly huge smile at the redhead who was trying but failing to look away and be aloof.
“Maybe not?” Maki was not being honest yet again.
Uu…Nico-chan’s smile is so brilliant… Calm down, my heart!
Nico laughs and the cherry blossoms fluttering down from the top seem to giggle along. The onyx haired girl brings Maki to a top favourite spot and lays out the pretty pink picnic mat which Maki tries to help but couldn’t quite catch the ends in time so Nico smirks and spreads the picnic mat herself perfectly.
“It’s okay, Makki~ Sometimes it takes someone more skilled as myself to put out a picnic mat this perfectly.” Nico had to bring along some sass.
Again with this overconfidence! I--
Maki opens her mouth to protest but the cheeky school idol sends a quick wink that stopped Maki’s train of thought.
“A perfectly cute picnic mat for a perfectly planned flower viewing date with my perfectly wonderful girlfriend Makki-chan~” Nico ignores her own warm pink on her cheeks as she managed to secure a fully red tomato Maki with those lines.
Aaaahhhhhh!!!! What is that Nico-chan??! Why you got to be so sweet-tongued!! And why do I have to be so tongue-tied and stumped? I- I usually would be able to have a comeback… A comeback…
Violet eyes find itself lost in Nico’s movements; bringing the picnic basket out and laying some traditional snacks for the two to eat and even drinks. The pianist could only wonder how Nico could be so infuriatingly perfect and hers.
Why…
Maki’s eyebrows furrow together. Twitched with each passing second as she did her best to ignore Nico’s shenanigans. But that was impossible when she wanted to take in all of Nico’s good sides and frustrating sides.
Why does Nico-chan have to be so irksome at this moment?
“What is it?” Maki gives in to Nico’s constant batting of her eyelids and obnoxious “Hm~ hm~~? Yes~? You wanna know~~? You want to know why I brought you here for a date, right~?”
Maki shuts her eyes her face was still warm and pout evident of Nico’s teases getting to her. Nico’s presence and relentless love were getting to her.
Go on then.
Nico smiled a Cheshire grin at getting the okay to sharing her reasons for bringing her Maki to see the Sakura in full blossom.
A few seconds pass and Maki opens her eyes to see Nico sitting back, going quiet, stealing Maki’s attention. “Because…”
Because..?
“Because I wanted to see the cherry blossoms with you.”
Maki blushes harder; happens every single time Nico surprises her with such honesty.
“Each trip to see them with Nozomi and the rest was fun…and meaningful. But…each time I wondered – how nice it would be to watch them bloom and fall with you… And,” Nico smiles, like an angel in Maki’s eyes. “I’m right yet again.”
Right about..?
Maki was already lost in those glimmering with earnest love rubies and angelic voice.
“Maki looks beautiful with all the cherry blossoms dancing around her!” Nico smiles, pearly whites gleaming, her head tilted to the side as her hair that she let down today flowed to the left, and…
And Maki was speechless and awestruck and falling further down the rabbit hole of love with her Nico.
“…”
The beautiful, breathtaking one is you… baka.
Maki turns away as she picked at a traditional sweet with the toothpick her girlfriend already prepared. Poking, poking, prodding, prodding, blushing, averting her eyes that so wanted to just keep staring at Nico and all the pink petals that made a picture-perfect scene—
A click of the camera made Maki turned back surprised.
And another click made Maki blink and let out a “Hey! Wh-What are you doing?”
“Saving memories, of course, ~ And taking a picture of the Great Nico Nii I know Maki-chan would appreciate and treasure for a long, long time to come~” Nico sing-songs gleefully, proud to make her blushing princess this happy on her special day.
“Wh-Who’s going to stare at you for a long time!” Maki turns away from Nico yet again.
Ugh, why can’t I just be honest around Nico-chan?
“Hey~ Don’t turn away from Nico when she’s praising you!” Nico teases.
Maki turns her back to Nico.
I want her to tone down the tease and not tone the tease at the same time… What is with me??
“Hey!!” The older but playful black haired girl was on a roll and could not stop, so she crawls over, careful not to topple the snacks or drinks. “Makki~~!”
Ahhh, why is she—
Maki adamantly tries to but fails to hide her tomato red blush from her girlfriend that was already beside her poking that annoyingly cute and sweet smirk in her face. “Nico-chan!!”
Nico laughs; she always has her way of making Maki open up to her.
Despite Maki’s protests, Nico took many memories that day.
And Maki hates to admit it but, “T-Thank you for today…Nico-chan. It… It made me happy to get to see the cherry blossoms with you. W-Will you…bring me again next year?” Maki bites her bottom lip as she waited for an answer.
Nico had that expression again, that love-filled, shimmering ruby eyes expression that made Maki’s stomach do a flip and know just how much she is loved by Nico. “You don’t even have to ask. I’ll be taking you places, Maki-chan. Always~”
Ahh…
Maki’s heart was already a constant fast pace from the moment Nico showed up at her doorstep today to take her on a date and as it became a constant throughout the flower viewing; Maki knew.
I love her so much.

Once again, Happy Birthday to our Tomato Princess Blushing Darling Baby ;D
Honoka reaches over to the side of the bed she’s not sleeping on, her consciousness coming around as she felt the empty spot and whined awake.
“Koto…ri-chan..?” Bleary blue eyes blinked and adjusted to the soft morning rays trying their best to filter through the corners of the curtains.
Honoka curls into herself before stretching and climbing out of bed. A lazy yawn as she covers her mouth after the act and paced slowly out the room.
Her feet bringing her to the kitchen which her nose and heart guided her to. Catching sight of the back of the prettiest girl in the whole wide world (to Honoka), she grins.
“Ah! Honoka-chan~” Kotori’s gentle voice filled the morning air as Honoka wrapped her arms around Kotori’s waist and nestled her face in soft ash-grey hair.
Honoka didn’t need to see to know that her wife was smiling from her embrace. “Kotori-chan…”
“Yeah?” Kotori places a hand over Honoka’s arm.
“Good morning…” The gingerhead’s voice slightly muffled in those fluffy tresses.
Kotori giggles. “Good morning, Honoka-chan~”
Honoka breathes slow and rhythmically where she hugs her fluffy wife who made fluffy pancakes for a fluffy morning together.

Woke up, scouted, Birthday UR Honoka came home, I squealed, and then this idea came to me~
do you take short writing prompts? if so, could you write some HonoKoto fluff wherein Honoka ate a bit too much, or something bad, or something, and Kotori has to care for her and rub her tummy and stuff to make her feel better? thanks!!
And a few scoops here and another few scoops there from the many ice cream tubs she bought for variety and beating the heat. A blissful look with each bite, the gingerhead was feeling good until-
"Ah-"
The teaspoon in Honoka's hand falls to the floor dramatically as the summer cricket's screech replaced the high school girl's Mms and Ahhs mere seconds ago.
"It hurts..." Honoka holds her "injured" stomach as she reached feebly for her phone...to contact the first person that comes to mind.
.
.
.
A few streets down, in a sweet ash-brunette's room, the girl hums softly as she sketched out new costume designs for μ's.
"Ah, and a ribbon here!" Kotori grins at her new creation.
The vibration from her phone steals her attention, it was vibrating really violently. Kotori wonders who is spamming her inbox. Picking her phone up, she's hoping it's from a certain gingerhead she loves.
Honoka: Uuu...
Honoka: I'm suffering...
Honoka: It hurts...
"Honoka-chan!?" Kotori's golden eyes widen at the alarming messages she have received from the girl she was hoping to receive messages from.
I want to get messages from you...but I don't mean for you to be hurt, Honoka-chan!
Honoka: Too much...(ice cream emoji)?
Kotori pauses at the next message before sighing in relief; it was so Honoka-like to have eaten too much ice cream in Summer.
At least it wasn't a big injury.
One more vibration. And Kotori feels her heart grow.
Honoka: I want Kotori-chan
I want to be there for you too, Honoka-chan! To be with you. By your side.
Kotori stands abruptly, ignoring the rough chair sounds on her floor from the sudden movement. And she was quick to pack the essentials before hurrying out her house to get to her girlfriend's.
Kotori: I'm coming, Honoka-chan!
Honoka: (angel emoji)
.
.
.
Kotori enters Honoka's room, face full of worry as she looked over to the gingerhead pouting with teary eyes towards her.
Ahh, Honoka-chan is so cute in bed!
Kotori realizes her own phrasing and blushes.
Cute...always. Not that bed sense, ahhh. Kotori! Away with those thoughts, we need to tend to Honoka-chan's needs first...
Kotori's ears were red and she did her utmost best to ignore it as she crossed the room to reach her girlfriend's side. Taking out a box of stomach medicine as she approached. "Honoka-chan...are you feeling any better? I brought some medicine-"
"I don't need medicine...uuu..." Honoka pulls Kotori's free hand over and places it where her tummy is, big watery eyes looking up at the ash-brunette. "I just need you here."
!!!
Kotori feels her heart skip a beat and face grow hotter. Honoka is so soft and unintentionally romantic when she's not feeling well.
Honoka-chan..!! Ahh, my heart...mmm...
Kotori puts the medicine away and sits in Honoka's bed beside her girlfriend. "Honoka-chan. How painful is it now?"
"Mm...like...this amount of pain?" Honoka's face scrunches up in thought as she raised her left hand to indicate the level of pain with two fingers.
Kotori smiles a lopsided smile. It was vague but Kotori nodded; understanding that the pain was bearable now but it's still there.
Honoka-chan is a strong girl... I'm glad she'll choose to rely on me!
Kotori gazes at Honoka's side profile as she slowly and gently slips her hand under Honoka's shirt, resting her hand right on her tummy and giving it warm caresses.
"K-Kotori-chan?" Honoka's cheeks were an adorable pink that Kotori took pride in causing.
The ash-brunette tries her best to not break out in a huge smile. "This will help you feel better sooner."
Honoka-chan is so cute.
Kotori daringly kisses her girlfriend's cheek.
"K-Kotori-chan!?" Honoka turns; face beet-red. Extra adorable.
Kotori smiles her angelic smile. "It'll help in recovering too~"
Honoka opened and closed her mouth like a goldfish for sometime, the heat rush to her head probably not helping with collecting her thoughts. Finally, she retorts, "You just wanted to kiss me!"
Kotori giggles as she rubbed Honoka's tummy more to get her girlfriend's attention on her touch.
"K-Kotori-chan..." Honoka whines.
"I want to kiss you~ And also believe it helped."
Honoka looks up in time to see Kotori send her a wink. The gingerhead puts her hand over her stomach where Kotori's hand was under her shirt. "Yeah...It helped."
Kotori beams and rests her head on Honoka's shoulder. "I'll keep being of help to you then, Honoka-chan!"
Always...
Honoka rests her head on Kotori's. "Thank you...Kotori-chan..."
Kotori couldn't stop the blissful smile from blooming on her face and the love she felt in her heart thumping constantly. She caresses Honoka's tummy more; loving the feeling of her girlfriend's skin and loving the fact that she was helpful to Honoka.
"Not too much ice cream next time, okay?"
Honoka chuckles guiltily. "I'll share next time."
Kotori nods, "Mmph!"
.
.
.
The whole afternoon was spent with belly rubs and nuzzles and small talk. Then Kotori stayed for dinner with a fully recovered, energetic and smile-full girlfriend she loves to the moon and back.

July calls for July ChikaYou. :D
May you enjoy~ XD
The heat of Summer, basketful of chilled mikans, plain and comfy singlet and shorts, plus Chika’s head laying on You’s lap; it was the perfect formula for a jolly Watanabe You on any given day. You grins further as she peels another piece of the fresh and cool fruit to feed her girlfriend.
“Say ah~”
“Ah~n~” Chika opens wide and elicits a mew of happiness when the mikan’s juices spread through her mouth from a single bite. “Derishous.”
You laughs as she feeds herself a piece. “I’m glad you think it so.”
“And itssh bwecaush-” Chika stops to swallow the fruit proper after seeing You arched her eyebrow upwards and expression amused. “You-chan fed me~”
You laughs regardless. “Anything I feed you is delicious?”
“Yup!” Chika nods once full of energy, smiling widely up at the ash-brunette who returns an equally blissful smile.
Chika had around five whole mikans fed to her already so she sweetly declines another piece with a head shake and satisfied grin. You eats the piece as Chika started rolling her head from side to side against You’s lap, all while going “You-chan~ You-chan~ You-chan~ You-chan~”
Ahh, Chika-chan is so cute~
You chuckles, her cheeks growing warm and pink. “What is it, Chika-chan~?”
“Yo-u~cha-n~ mm~” Chika rolls till she’s facing You from the front and she pushes herself up slightly, face landing on You’s torso and arms reached behind You’s back, hugging her. “I love you~!”
“C-Chika-chan…” You’s face turned an immediate red as her heart skipped a few beats; not expecting her adorable girlfriend to do any of that.
It doesn’t stop there as Chika started wriggling her way up You causing You to fall backwards and lay on the floor. Chika with her cheek pressed against You, slid up the ash-brunette’s stomach, over her chest, until she reached You’s head and grins.
Mou...Chika-chan makes a cute caterpillar too.
You’s hands hovered close to Chika; she would love to hold her girlfriend but unfortunately, her hands were sticky from peeling mikans. Instead, You returns a wry smile. “Are you purposefully doing this to take advantage of me or what?”
Not that I mind…
Chika blinks once, putting on a pout. “Sheesh, do you want me to show you my affections of not?”
Chika pushes herself up and You quickly shakes her head. “I-I do!”
But you’re so adorable when doing that I think my heart won’t hold sometimes..!
“Good.” Chika gazes passionately into You’s eyes before dropping down, her breath a mere centimetre away from You’s lips. “I’m going to show you more affection now…”
You’s eyes close without knowing it, and she swallows after being kissed by the love of her life.
Mm…my heart…I love you, Chika-chan…
Author Notes
Ahh, it’s short…it’s short but..! >x<`` I just love how Chika and You can go from relaxing with mikans to cute shenanigans to just “ahhh…I love you. And I’ll just keep loving you more and more everyday…”
You shows it without knowing it, and Chika is just actively going “You-chan, I love you!” every time a random molecule in her body decides to do so. …Is how I see it. XD hehe~
I hope y’all enjoyed it!
