had thoughts about a high school into college au where mizu has like promised herself she won’t get involved with anyone at school more than she has to, she’s just passing through to move on with her goals, but there’s a girl in her grade (reader) who’s just unrelentingly sweet to her, nothing overkill, but just sweet.
mizu keeps her at arms length mostly through high school, but finds herself moving her lunch spot nearer to hers and memorizing how she furrows her eyebrows when something in class is confusing. just average crush things. she thinks she can just ignore it because they’re all dispersing to colleges soon, and surely reader will be at a different one. (spoiler alert, she isn’t, and they get assigned to be roommates for the p i n i n g)
mizu Wants to be irritated about the situation, but all things considered, reader is a great roommate, their schedules match up, and they get along just fine, so she just keeps all the feelings under wraps, tries to ignore how her heart feels like it’s gonna explode when reader smiles at her, and sucks it up. (she’s fine. /sarc). it isn’t like reader would want her anyway, right?
reader has been nursing a crush on mizu since they bumped into each other in the hall outside their classroom first year of high school. she was resisting the urge to start bringing her bento boxes and inviting her out because mizu seemed so withdrawn. needless to say reader is ecstatic when mizu starts opening up to her, even platonically at first.
but yeah kind of a little slowburnish deal with a sorta dramatic confession mayhaps. maybe reader goes on a date with someone else because she thinks mizu isn’t interested and she doesn’t wanna push boundaries, only for mizu to be Such a grump about it, leading into an argument, eventual confession, shit goes down lol
i hope this made sense i’m half asleep and brainrotting over this so badly
OHHH MODERN MIZU MUTUAL PINING YESSSS
