Hey guys. Wow I just realized that it's been a year since I updated this. Anyway, sorry for the long wait.
Spoiler: This chapter will be the turn over of the events
Enjoy~
PS: Nyannyan just announced her graduation and it still breaks my heart. And to make it worst Yuko was there too (such a supportive girlfriend isn't she?)=======================================================================================================
Chapter 6
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.”
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.”
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.” “Yuko”
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.”
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.”
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.” “Hey Yuko”
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.”
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.”
“Please don’t leave me like Yuko did.” “OSHIMA YUKO!!”
“What? Huh?”
“Are you okay? I’ve been calling you for a while. You seemed spaced out? Is something wrong?”
Here I am shopping with my girlfriend Atsuko and yet all I can think about is Nyannyan and what I’ve overheard a few weeks ago. Honestly, it’s really bugging me out and I have no idea why. Why did it hurt hearing it? When did I leave her? Did I really leave her? Why does it bother me so much? Why did she sound so hurt? Am I the reason why she’s crying? I have no idea and it's driving me nuts!
“Sorry. I’m just tired I guess.”
“Do you wanna go home?” No matter how good of an actress Atsuko is she still can't hide the fact that she sounds and looks upset. It’s been a while that we went on an actual date ever since we got together. Blame it on our hectic schedules and work outside AKB. But for me. I don’t really think that’s not the only reason.
“Oh no no. I’m okay. Have you picked yet?”
“I’ve been here talking about which one you like the most but you’re not even paying attention. Nevermind. Let’s just go.” She said while putting back two dresses on the rack. A white and a pink one. She walked away from me while grumbling “If Takamina was here she would probably answer in a heartbeat.”
“I’m sorry Acchan. Come on. Don’t be like this. I’m really sorry okay.” I chase after her and grabbed her hand and looked her in the eyes. Oh my charming eyes. Please do your magic. “I’m sorry. I know we barely have time for each other now. Please don’t be mad. Let’s continue shopping okay?” She nodded and looked at me softly. Yes! It worked. Mwahahaha.
“You know we rarely go out anymore and I really want to spend more time with you. I just feel like whenever where together your mind is somewhere.”
Crap“What? That’s nonsense. I’m just tired. I swear. Now come on. Let’s get that dress that you want.” I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek which caused her to blush and dragged her back to rack. Sheees. I need to stop spacing out whenever I’m with Atsuko. Get your shit together Oshima. Yosh!
“Which one do you think will suit me?” Acchan asked as she grabbed the dresses.
“I think the white one.”
“Really? I’ll get this one then.”
“But then again. Pink suits you more.”
“Yuko!”
“What? Let me think okay. I wonder, which of it will suit my very beautiful but short tempered girlfriend the best? Hmmmm.”
“Hey! I’m not short tempered” She said as she playfully hit me on the shoulders. “Come on. Just pick already. I’m hungry.”
“I can’t decide. Both of it looks good on you. Let’s just get both of them.” I said as I grabbed both dresses and dashed my way to the counter leaving Atsuko behind.
“Wait! Yuko. Hey!”
By the time Atsuko caught up to me I have already paid for the dresses.
“My my Acchan you should exercise more. You’re like Nyannyan. Hahahaha.” I stopped laughing when I realized I just said Nyannyan’s name. “Err. I mean both of you are really non-athletic. Like Takamina too. Hehe” I said as I mentally face palmed myself for my own stupidity. Geez. I’m digging my own grave.
It’s not like it’s a taboo to say Nyannyan’s name or even mention her. I just feel like it’s insensitive of me to even bring her up after all that happened. So I always try avoid it. But seems like the more I avoid it the more it keeps creeping up on me. Geez. I can’t help it okay. There’s just a lot of things that reminds me of her.
“I hate you. You’re making fun of me. Even Takamina never does that. But since I’m nice and as you said beautiful. I forgive you.”
Finally after hours and hours of shopping Acchan finally seemed satisfied with everything she bought.
“Are you even gonna wear all of this?” I said as I started gesturing to the bags that contains the clothes that she bought as I swing it back and forth. “Some of it are not even your size.”
“I’m giving it to Takamina.”
I don’t even need to ask why. Takamina really need someone like Acchan in her life. Mainly in the fashion department.
“Nee Yuko, do you know or even have an idea on what’s going on between Takamina and Nyannyan. Are they like together or something?”
Wow. The same question I asked Mariko.
“Hmmm. I really don’t know. I’ve been really busy lately and I haven’t talked to Nyannyan ever since we got together.”
“Me too. Damn our hectic schedules. I haven’t spent that much time with Takamina either. Such a best friend I am. I really really miss her Yuko. We haven’t been talking like we used to ever since we got together. I always message and call her whenever I got the chance but she’s not replying like before.”
Acchan looked genuinely sad. I mean extremely sad. Then I realized something. Maybe it’s normal for us to miss our bestfriends? I mean Acchan said it out loud here people. So I guess there’s nothing wrong with me for missing Nyannyan as well?
“Wait. You message and call Takamina all the time?”
“Yeah”
But she barely even text me. It’s not that I’m jealous but, shouldn’t your girlfriend be your priority on everything? Because that’s what I’ve been doing to her. Or trying to do at least.
“Hey. I’m not jealous or anything but how come you text and call Takamina all the time yet you barely text me at all?”
Seems Acchan realized what she said and went into panic mode.
“No no. it’s not like that. I don’t know. I mean I do know but. I’m just used to do that to Takamina. And I know you’re busy a lot too so I thought that maybe I’ll just bother you if I did that and maybe you’ll get mad at me for being too clingy.”
“It’s okay. I understand. I mean you’ve always been like that to Takamina right? But doesn’t Takamina complain about you bugging her like an overly attached girlfriend?”
“Hey I’m not overly attached! You’re my girlfriend but you never see me doing that to you. I only do that to Takamina. And besides she never even complained about anything at all.”
“Yeah. Makes me wonder if I should be happy or sad about it. Hahaha Poor Takamidget”
“Meanie”
If anyone would hear us they would probably think that we’re weird. I mean, we are dating but Acchan here talks about Takamina a lot. Maybe she just misses Takamina just as much I miss Nyannyan?
But why do I have the feeling that the kind of longing Acchan has for Takamina isn’t the friendly one. It’s obvious really. How would I know you ask? Well, because it takes one to know one.
