Lips of an Angel Chapter 3
Yuki and Mayu started talking at the park at 2 and now it was already 5:30PM and the winter sun was already almost gone. Yuki sighed and stood up, looking around at the slowly darken sky. She held out her hand and smiled at Mayu.
"Want to grab dinner with me? It's getting to be around dinner time."
"Sure! I would love to have dinner with Yuki-chan!"
Mayu took hold of Yuki's offered hand and Yuki felt a small shock run up her arm. She stood there looking surprised for a minute before smiling and walking with Mayu in the direction where many restaurants were located.
"So, what do you want to eat Mayu-chan?"
"What do YOU want to eat Yuki-chan?"
"I don't know… that's why I asked you!"
"I have no idea either!"
"…"
"…"
"Mayu-chan… you know we're not getting anywhere with this right?"
"Yup…"
They stopped walking and looked at each other for a minute before they both burst out laughing in the middle of the sidewalk. After their fit of laughter subsided, they both grabbed each other's hand once more before they continued walking.
"Hm… what do you say about… Shabu Shabu?"
"Sound good! Where?"
"I don't know! I chose the kind of food! Mayu-chan you choose where!"
Mayu thought for a while as Yuki watched her. The more she watched her, the cuter she thought Mayu was. Then, suddenly, a light seemed to pop up beside Mayu's head and she smiled at Yuki. She held onto Yuki's hand tighter and dragged her through the streets, weaving through people and obstacles quickly.
"H-hey! Mayu-chan! Where are we going? Slow down!"
"Somewhere with very yummy Shabu Shabu! But it's always packed so we have to hurry!"
Yuki only laughed and let Mayu drag her through the streets, slowing down only when necessary. Once Mayu arrived at the destination, she slowed down and walked into the building, leading Yuki to the escalator and riding up.
"This place is really good! My friend showed it to me and from then on, this is my favorite place to go for Shabu Shabu! I hope you like it!"
"If Mayu-chan likes it then I'm sure I'll like it too!"
Mayu gave Yuki and beaming smile and walked up to the waiter to get their table. They had to wait but it wasn't as long as they thought since people have yet to arrive. Once seated, they quickly ordered what they want and began to talk once again.
"So…. Yuki-chan… who was it that you were looking for? It had to be SOMEONE…"
"Well... uh… I was… looking for you. I wanted to talk to you again but then I realized that I didn't have your number or email or anything… so my friend suggested I go and look for you… so I did…"
"Hehe… all this time, you were looking for me… how sweet Yuki-chan… well if that's the case, before we forget again, lets exchange info!"
Yuki gave Mayu and big smile and pulled out her phone. Shortly after they exchanged info, their food arrived and they began to eat. As they ate, they continued to chat and laugh about anything that came to mind. By the time they were done, Yuki checked her phone and saw that it was already 8:30PM. She sighed and called for the tab. When it arrived, Mayu and Yuki fought for it for a short while before Yuki won and paid. Mayu only sighed and shook her head giving Yuki a pout that made Yuki swoon. As they walked out of the restaurant, they looked up at the sky and saw that it was beginning to get cloudy.
"Ne… Mayu-chan… are you taking the train home?"
"Yea… are you?"
"Yup! Want to take it together?"
"Okay!"
They walked to the station hand in hand, cuddling up to keep out the cold air that seeped through their jackets. They bought their tickets and boarded their train, finding a seat next to each other in the back of the car. Mayu place her head on Yuki's shoulder and sighed, closing her eyes.
"Tired?"
"Mmmm…"
Yuki chuckled before placing her own head on top of Mayu's and closing her eyes. A sweet scent invaded her senses and she sat there for a while wondering what it was… until she realized… it was Mayu's hair. A small smile settled on her lips as she continued to let the scent fill her senses. She was careful not to fall asleep in fear of missing her station. She felt Mayu shift and she opened her eyes and looked down. Mayu has snuggled up tightly to her and hid her face partially in Yuki's coat.
"What's wrong Mayu-chan?"
"Mmm… it's cold… and that guy over there has been staring at us for a while now… it's kind of scary. It's like how, in the animes, when they stare at you and you get off the train, they follow you and then do bad things to you in an alley or something! Scary!"
Yuki chuckled inwardly at how childish and adorable Mayu could be. Now that she remembered… she doesn't know how old Mayu really is!
"Haha Mayu-chan is cute! Ne… Mayu-chan… how old are you?"
"Hmm…? No I'm not! Oh and i'm 17! How about you Yuki-chan?"
"Oh? I'm turning 20 soon!"
"Ehhhh? You're kidding!"
"Not at all! Why are you so surprised?"
"You seem so young!"
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"It is! It is! Haha."
They sat there and chatted, Mayu staying close to Yuki, still somewhat paranoid about that man. When their station arrived, they both got up and walked out. Mayu kept checking behind her to see if the man had followed them but she gave a relieved sigh to know that he wasn't but was still alert since he too walked off the train after them. Yuki only laughed and held Mayu's hand while walking out of the station. On their way out, however, Yuki and Mayu noticed the same man and Mayu instantly became paranoid again. Yuki also thought it odd so she held onto Mayu's hand tighter and led Mayu to her home which was close to the station. Once they got to her gate, she didn't let go of Mayu's hand. Instead, she led her inside and closed the door.
"Mayu-chan… how about you stay over tonight and I'll walk you home tomorrow… I don't think it's safe right now."
Mayu nodded and went to inform her parents of her whereabouts while Yuki went on to call Sae and to tell her that she had gotten home and she had found her angel.
"Sae-chan! I'm home now!"
"Oh! Good! Did you find your little angel?"
"Yea! Actually… she found me…"
"Well! Surprises everywhere eh? Well I have to go… have a nice night! Don't do anything out of hand Yuki-chan! You know better!"
"Night Sae-chan! Hey! What does that mean?"
"Nothing! Night~!"
Sae hung up and Yuki stared at her phone incredulously. Did Sae really just imply what Yuki thought she implied? If so, Yuki was getting ready to get back at Sae as soon as she got the chance. She turned back and saw Mayu still on the phone talking to her parents. She walked up to the door and leaned against the door frame, watching Mayu on the phone. Even though Mayu was 3 years her junior, she couldn't help but think Mayu was insanely beautiful and cute. Once done, Yuki took Mayu upstairs and gave her some clothes. They both took turns taking a shower and afterwards, they hung out in Yuki's room, watching a movie on her laptop. By the time 1AM rolled around, both of them were sleepy, Mayu had her head on Yuki's shoulder while Yuki had her head on Mayu's. She slowly got up and put away the laptop and turned off the lights. She walked back over to the bed and went under the covers, Mayu following close behind. They started off sleeping on separate sides but after a while, Mayu snuggled closer, mumbling something about it being cold. Yuki hesitated for a minute but wrapped her arms around Mayu and snuggled them both closer.
"Good night Mayu-chan…"
"Mmmmm… night Yuki-chan…"
From that day on, Mayu and Yuki hung out more and more together. The more they hung out, however, the more this tingly feeling grows inside Yuki's stomach… and she's starting to get scared. What was she feeling? Why did she blush every time Mayu complimented her? When she asked Sae and Sayaka, they said she was falling for her but she didn't believe it.
"I can't be falling for a girl… can I?"
