hcs for hanayo and her small friend, a pocket-sized hanamaru (friendship or romantic idc)
Ever since Hanayo was a child, she had a very short friend. A very, very short friends. They met when Hanayo was about five years old, and the two instantly became friends! She used to call Hanamaru a fairy, but Hanamaru had to keep telling her she wasn’t a fairy and has just always been small.
Hanamaru likes to sit in Hanayo’s pockets as she finds it incredibly comfortable. But her favourite pocket is the front one in her overalls. She says its nice and soft there and its easier for her to fall asleep. Which she often does.
When Hanayo is in school, Hanamaru often chills out in her bag, and doing what she can to keep the bag clean. Which isn’t much because Hanayo is generally quite clean anyway. But occasionally some crumbs are in there which, if they’re recent, she’ll eat it or just clean it up. Hanayo gave her a little LED light she can use to find her way around the bag when it’s dark. Hanamaru will sometimes draw cute pictures on some paper while in Hanayo’s bag.
When Hanayo has an itch she can’t scratch, Hanamaru jumps into action and scratches it for her. Since Hanamaru is so tiny though, it takes a while to relieve the itch. Sometimes while Hanayo sleeps, if Hanamaru can’t sleep she’ll go out of her way to clean small parts of Hanayo’s body, such as finger nails or in between hairs. Hanamaru will usually sleep on Hanayo’s chest because of how soft it is. But she’s screwed if Hanayo rolls over. Luckily, she doesn’t... normally.
Hanayo got lessons from Kotori on how to knit so she could make some tiny clothes for Hanamaru because you can’t buy clothes of that size unless you get doll clothes, which Hanamaru doesn’t like the feeling of. So Hanayo makes them for her! She lets Hanamaru help her make them too, letting her make a design or helping her with bringing over some thread.
The two of them go everywhere together. School, outside, to the movies (which Hanamaru gets in free, because she hides), to the park, to idol practice and even to the shower, as the two wash together. They have never been separated from each other for more than a few hours at a time.
