Hi. :3 This is my first fanfic that's posted here, and I'm quite a newbie in making fanfics. Thanks for reading if you managed to read til the end though. MAY 13
May 12. It was the day before Haruna and Yuko's so-called Wedding Anniversary. Haruna, for once, wanted to do something special for the little rascal she found herself married to, since she realized that she rarely showed her affection for her. She took her phone and messaged Yuko, asking if she was free on the next day, since the whole of AKB had three days of rest for their next concert. An immediate reply came; 'I'm free', it read. Beside it was a goofy emoticon that, to Haruna, sort of resembled Yuko's face. A small smile made its way to Haruna's lips as she texted back. 'Come by around six'. "Nyannyan?" A voice entered her ears. She looked up. It was Takamina. "What's with that look on your face?" she asked. It was then that Haruna remembered that she was in the studio to practice with Team A for the next performance. She was seated near the table in the corner spending the rest of the five minutes they were given to chat with her wife without a care in the world. "Are you texting Yuko?" Minami asked further, leaning in to take a peek at their conversation. Haruna pocketed her phone in a flash. "Nyannyan! I wanna see!" the midget captain groaned. "No! It's private!" Haruna struggled to keep her phone out of reach. She stood up and raised her phone to the air. Minami pouted, "Unfair, Haruna! Unfair!" she jumped with her hand out reached, even still, the midget wasn't able to grab it because of the girl's 164cm height compared to her 148cm tallness. "Practice!" Yui, Team A's current captain, shouted, as she asked the other members to take their positions.
When the tiring day in the studio ended, Haruna excused herself from Takamina's sukiyaki treat with the juniors along with the captains of the three teams; Yuria, Yui, and the other Minami. She made her way to her apartment to drop off her stuff. There, she looked up easy recipes for dishes. Afterwards, she went grocery shopping for ingredients. By the end of the day, she was able to prepare for whatever she was doing on the next day. She decided to call it a day and set her alarm to an early time. She would need as much time as possible, since she never gave any thought about cooking before, and she didn't remember learning anything from one of the early segments of AKBingo; the segment that had something to do with cooking. While she thought of different possibilities on how her plan would do, she found herself slowly, slowly, drifting off to sleep.
Haruna woke up with a surprised jolt when she felt something move against her back. She tried to move but she found herself restrained by a pair of arms around her body. "Nyannyan~" a familiar voice giggled. "Yuko?!" Haruna half-shouted. She broke out of Yuko's restraint and sat up on the bed. "What are you doing here?! I thought I told you to come over at six!" Yuko sat with her, her face filling with confusion, "It is six. Look." She grabbed her phone, turned it on, and showed it to Haruna. It was May 13, 6:48 AM. "I meant 6 PM, you idiot!" she exclaimed as she hit Yuko with a pillow. "You didn't mention it!" she retorted, blocking the hit. Haruna looked down and sulked. Her plans were ruined. No more surprises. Or so she thought. An idea shone in her head. "Yuko, I—" "Happy Anniversary, wife~" she was interrupted by a hug from Yuko. It was a tight hug, with Yuko nuzzling her neck. "Y-Yuko! Get off," she groaned, pushing the pervert away. When the both of them finally calmed down, Haruna spoke. "Yuko... Would you go out for a bit? I need to do something." "But—" "Please?" She pleaded. Yuko sighed and obeyed. She threw her legs over the bed and stood up, walking towards the door of her bedroom, with Haruna tailing behind. They reached the exit to her apartment. "Be back by six, okay?" Haruna reminded with a soft tone as she watched the short girl nod silently and leave the room. She felt a bit guilty with how she treated her, with today being their 'Anniversary' and all...
It was already two in the afternoon and Haruna wasn't making any progress with her 'surprise' at all. A number of failed dishes were scattered on the kitchen floor. She had merely a few hours left, and with this, she decided she couldn't do it... Alone. She grabbed her phone on the nearby table and searched through her contacts until she found who she was looking for. 'Chiyuu'. She quickly dialed the number and waited for the other line to pick up. "Hello?" A small voice answered. "Tomo? I need help... Are you free right now? Can you come over?" Haruna rushed with her words, "I want to do something for Yuko." The other line was silent for a moment, then replied. "I'm on my way."
Haruna paced back and forth until the doorbell rung. She opened it and found Tomomi Kasai, and a number of familiar people gathered right behind her; Erena Ono, Mariko Shinoda, the midget captain, and Minami Minegishi. She let Tomomi and her fellow AKB members inside, leaving both Erena and Mariko on the cold floors outside her apartment room. "Don't you two have jobs?" she asked. "We're free today," they said in unison. Haruna gave them a suspicious look, but let them in anyway. "Tomo," she turned to Kasai, "Why..?" she pointed at the other people lurking around her mess of an apartment. Tomomi grinned and said it would be more fun and faster if other people helped with whatever Haruna's plans are. Haruna sighed and discussed the plans to the people inside the apartment. Tomomi and Erena were cooking buddies, while WMinami and Mariko cleaned every nook and cranny of the filthy home of hers along with Haruna herself, who put away her precious belongings that were scattered across the room. They were done by 4 o'clock. And with that, Haruna thanked them as Tomomi and the others excused themselves, Mariko proclaiming that she will treat them for ramen, followed by loud cheers. She was alone once again in her now spotless apartment, with the meal they worked hard on displayed perfectly on the table near the kitchen. Haruna decided to take a bath to decrease the hours she would wait for until her beloved squirrel comes back.
Meanwhile, a few hours ago, in a desolate park near Haruna's apartment, Yuko walked around, kicking a few pebbles with a pout on her face. "Has Nyannyan forgotten that it was our Anniversary today?" she mumbled to herself. She stared at the silver ring on her right ring finger. Then, her face brightened, "Could it be that she has a surprise for me?" Her hopes rose up to a dangerous height. But then, another thought shot through her like a bullet. "It can't be. Nyannyan's not like that," and continued to walk around with a face of solitude, "And besides. Usually, I'm the one forcing her to celebrate our day of marriage." She spent the next few hours debating whether her dear Nyannyan has a surprise for her or not, and whichever ended up winning was unknown.
Haruna sat on the couch wearing a casual dress; although she was staying at home, it was still a special day for her, so she can't wear such a plain dress as her house clothes while celebrating it. The matching silver ring she bought with her perverted-old-man-like wife gleamed on her left ring finger, as if she truly was married. She stared at the clock. 6:02. 'Shouldn't she be back by now?' she thought to herself as she started panicking, but then again, it's only been two minutes. She was exaggerating too much. A few more minutes later, a slow, dull knock was heard on the wooden door to the entrance of her apartment. She stood up and walked towards it, and opened the door. Yuko had her eyes glued to the floor. "Haruna..." she mumbled, "Have you forgotten—" she was interrupted by a warm, tight embrace. Haruna pulled away and looked at Yuko's face which was shaped with confusion and shock. "Happy Anniversary," she smiled coyly. A smile engraved itself onto Yuko's face. Seconds passed as she stared at her 'wife', the smile of hers gradually widening. Haruna led Yuko near the kitchen so they could eat together. "I really thought you forgot about our anniversary," she sniffed, tears of joy pooling in her eyes, "I never expected you to do something like this." Haruna laughed. "Are you crying? You should be happy, right?" Yuko nodded tearfully and continued eating her meal with her beloved Haruna.
Yuko ended up staying over Haruna's apartment, since they both didn't have work on the next day, and didn't have anything much to do. For the whole of the night, and the following day, the two idiots spent the whole time in each other's company, satisfied with just themselves. And maybe a bowl of ramen or two.
"By the way, Yuuchan... Why are you wearing your ring on your right hand instead of your left?" Haruna asked, "I'm wearing mine on my left." She showed her the familiar silver ring that mirrored the others'. "Why is that?" Yuko replied with another question. Haruna pouted, "I'm married to you, remember?"
Since that faithful day, Yuko saw the matching rings they bought in another light. She started wearing the ring more often and wore it only on her left ring finger.
