Mayu likes to think that she knows Yuki the best.
They met when Mayu was 13 and Yuki was 16 and despite the 3 years between them, they immediately clicked together and were inseparable ever since. When Yuki became captain at the age of 18, Mayu was the first one she approached about it.
“Aren’t you happy?” Mayu asks, noting the lack of smile and excited eyes.
Yuki sighs and brings the warm can of coffee against her cheek. “I’m surprised.”
“Not happy?” Mayu asks again, her own can of coffee making a wheezing sound as she opens it. She reaches for Yuki’s hand, exchanging the two cups with the other. She pulls her hand back but Yuki already threaded their fingers together, Mayu looks at the older girl but she only received a squeeze on the hand, Yuki’s way of saying thanks. Mayu glances at their locked fingers for a second before placing the can between her knees and opening it using her free hand.
“I don’t really know.” Yuki answers, Mayu asks why and Yuki takes a sip of the drink, buying herself a few seconds to organize her thoughts. “I mean, it’s an honor, of course, it’s just that. . . I wasn’t aiming for it at all, you know?” She takes a long sip this time and lets out a sigh after. “I don’t know. . . Maybe I’m just not over the shock.”
Mayu shrugs, “Maybe.” They stay quiet for a long while. “Ne, Yuki?” Mayu gets a small hum and she continues, “What did you come here for?” She asks, turning her head to meet Yuki’s eyes. “Why did you audition?”
“I’m looking for my dream.” Yuki answers.
“Looking for your dream, huh. . .”
“Yeah, but I found you instead.” Yuki smiles at her. Mayu looks questioningly at the older girl but only receives a squeeze on her hand.
Mayu likes to think that she knows Yuki the best and prefers to keep thinking that way so she keeps quiet when Yuki says something that she can’t comprehend.

Yuki likes to think that Mayu likes her the most.
Yuki hears the door opening and she lifts her head up from her position on the couch. She sees Mayu making her way towards her and she smiles, glad to finally have someone to talk to in the empty dressing room. “Mayuyu!” The girl doesn’t answer and Yuki’s eyes fall on the book the younger girl is holding and recognizes it to be the book they did 48 questions for. She sits up, “Oh, hey, is that the 48 questions—OW!”
Yuki stares wide-eyes at the girl who just smacked her on the arm with the book. “W-What was that for?!”
“Everyone?” Mayu asks angrily. “Really, Yuki?
Everyone?”
Yuki blinks twice, trying to comprehend what the younger girl is saying. “Oh...
Oh.” Yuki smiles sheepishly and reaches for Mayu’s hand to pull her down beside her. “I didn’t mean it that way, Mayu.”
“You like
everyone. How selfish can you be?” Mayu rants, turning away from Yuki.
Yuki thinks that the pouting is cute but decides to keep it to herself. “You are included in that everyone, Mayuyu.” She coos as she rubs Mayu’s arm gently with one hand as the other flips the pages of the book, stopping at Mayu’s page. “I did say everyone there but Mayu knows that I like her the best, right? Just because I didn’t write there doesn’t mean that—HEY!”
Yuki slaps Mayu’s arm as she glares at the younger girl. “I’m
not your oshimen?” She asks, disbelief present in her voice. “Yuimin?! She’s the one from SKE, right? How could you?!” Yuki lets out a huff. She scoots away from the younger girl. Why was Mayu scolding her for writing ‘everyone’ as her oshimen when Mayu specifically wrote ‘Yuimin’ in hers?
Mayu scratches her head as she smiles lopsidedly. “Eh? Yukirin~”
“At least when I wrote ‘everyone’, that includes you, too!” Yuki argues, feeling hurt and betrayed. “And that clearly implies that I like Mayu too.”
“I like Yukirin!” Mayu exclaims, moving to sit nearer to Yuki but Yuki ignores. “Ne, just because I didn’t write you there doesn’t mean I don’t like you.” Mayu states cheekily, finishing what Yuki was about to say earlier.
And Yuki peeks at Mayu’s expression, slowly giving in. She catches a glimpse of Mayu’s grin and huffs again.
“Yuki~” Yuki feels Mayu snuggle close to her, lifting her arm up and placing it around her shoulders in a make shift hug. “Yuki knows that I like her the most, right?” Mayu coos, knowing that Yuki has already give in and she just needs to add the finishing touches. “Right, Yuki? Yuki knows, right?”
Yuki likes to think that Mayu likes her the most and she loves knowing that she’s right.
“Yeah, I know.” She answers, happily, pulling Mayu closer to her.
*
They grow closer and closer that it comes to the point where Mayu doesn’t even know what they are.
Kisses are shared. Some for the cameras, some for the amusement of others and many when they’re alone. And Mayu already lost count of how many kisses have they shared. There was one kiss she’ll never forget though. The first kiss they shared with only the two of them to know about.
She was sitting on a bench on the rooftop of the building their theatre is on, trying to block out the noise of Akihabara while counting the stars when the door opened.
“One hundred twelve, one hundred thirteen, one hundred fourteen, one hundred fifteen. . .”
“I was looking for you.”
Mayu stopped at the voice. She licked her lips and squinted at the sky before letting out a sigh. “You made me lose count.” She said instead.
Yuki sat beside Mayu on the bench and they sat in silence for several minutes. “Don’t you have an after party for the success of your musical?” Mayu asked finally.
“Everyone is downstairs.” Yuki answered. “Why did you go?” Yuki asked, turning her head to look at Mayu. “I saw you, you know. From the stage. I saw you get up and go out.”
“Did I distract you?”
“A little.” Yuki admitted. “Why did you go, Mayu?”
“I couldn’t take it.” Mayu stated simply. They never tried to keep anything from each other anyway. “I tried to stay but I just really couldn’t. I’m sorry.”
Mayu felt Yuki’s fingers settle themselves above her own. “It’s okay.”
“Did you like the kiss?” Mayu asked. “I hate it.”
Yuki let out a small chuckle. “I don’t hate it. But I don’t like it either. It was. . . A kiss. Just a kiss.”
“Just a kiss, huh. . .”
“I’m actually a bit happy that you hate it.” Yuki threaded their fingers together. “I wouldn’t know what to think if you were okay with it.”
Mayu looked at Yuki. “Really?” Yuki nodded and Mayu scooted closer to the older girl. “Is it okay if I ask you to fake it next time?” Mayu’s momentarily fell on Yuki’s lips. “Please?”
Yuki bit her lip for a second. “Of course.” She answered, moving closer.
Mayu hummed and straightened a bit to be able to press her forehead against Yuki’s. “Is it okay if I ask you not to kiss anyone?”
“You too.” Yuki whispered, leaning closer and brushing her nose against Mayu, making the younger girl giggle.
“Of course.” And Mayu barely stopped her giggling when Yuki’s lips finally touched hers.
More kisses were shared after their first. Some for the amusement of others and many when they’re alone. Mayu doesn’t know what they are but Yuki’s kisses remain only for her and maybe that’s okay.

Yuki have never given much thought about her relationship with Mayu until Myao’s words hit her.
Yuki sighs and groans for the nth time as she flips her phone open and closes it again. “Don’t you think that it’s kinda quiet without Mayu around?”
Myao, her sole companion in the room, shakes her head. “Not really. Mayuyu isn’t that noisy.”
“But it feels so lonely without her... Don’t you feel it, Myao?”
“Not really. Mayuyu has only been gone for 3 days.”
“Exactly! I miss Mayu already.” Yuki sighs and groans again. “I wish she would just go home already. Don’t you think so too, Myao?”
“Not really. Mayuyu has work she needs to finish there.”
“But still! I texted her and she said that she’ll be gone for a few days more. That’s too long... Isn’t it, Myao?”
“Not really. What are a few days for Mayuyu, she can use it for rest.”
“But. . . I miss Mayu so bad.” Yuki sighs and groans. Again. “Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Mayu, Ma—”
“THAT’S IT.” Myao slams her laptop shut as she turns to Yuki on the couch. “Shut up already, Yuki!”
“But I miss Mayu.”
“You’re even whinier than Lovetan who is Mayu’s
best friend!” Myao sneers. “What are you, Yuki, her boyfriend?” Myao rolls her eyes at the stunned look she received. “See? Only lovers worry like that.”
Yuki stays quiet for a long while, pondering on her relationship with Mayu. Sure, they kiss and they hug and they go on dates but they never really cleared with each other what their relationship is.
“Ne, Miho.”
Myao turns her attention to Yuki, knowing that the use of her real name means serious business. “Yes, Yuki?”
“Am I being too much?” Yuki asks timidly, feeling unsure all of a sudden.
“Do you like Mayu?” Myao asks back.
Yuki nods. “Yes... Actually, I think I love her... How can I even tell that I love her?”
“You’ll know.” Myao says with a shrug. “Just tell her, Yuki. It’s Mayu. You know Mayu, she’s a bundle of goodness.”
Yuki smiles. “I guess... Unlike some brat I know.”
Myao snorts and goes back to her laptop. “Yeah, well, you’ll know that that brat is always right.”
Yuki just laughs and sits back as she watches Myao quietly this time.
*
Her talk with Myao from a few hours ago flows continuously in her head even as she talks to Mayu on the phone.
“How much longer until you get back?” Yuki asks.
“Not that long.” Mayu answers and Yuki can hear the smile in it.
“I want to tell you something.” Yuki tells the girl on the other line as her free hand grips the steel railing by the edge of the rooftop. “I’ll wait until you get back but it can’t wait.”
She hears Mayu giggle on the other side and Yuki wishes that Mayu’s right by her side at the moment.
“What is it, Yuki?”“I’ve been thinking and I. . . Actually, I was talking earlier to Myao. . . No, no, that’s not it. Listen, Mayu I think we should. . . We could really be. . . I know it’s kinda weird but. . . I mean, Mayu, the thing is—”
“Turn around, Yukirin.” Mayu interrupts and the call is ended.
Yuki turns around with a baffled expression which turns to surprise when she sees Mayu, several yards away from her. “Mayu. . .”
“Hi, Yuki.” Mayu greets cheekily, tucking her phone inside her pocket.
Yuki smiles because Mayu is right in front of her now. “Did you just hang up on me?” She asks with one eyebrow raised.
“Maybe,” Mayu shrugs as she takes a few steps towards Yuki. “Maybe not.”
“And I was about to confess too.” It comes out naturally and straightforwardly and Yuki had to smile.
“Oh? Was that a confession? All I heard was stutter, stutter and stutter.”
Yuki laughs at the teasing remark and walks towards the other girl. She stops in front of her and they just stare at each other dumbly for a minute.
“So. . . What was that about a confession?” Mayu whispers, one hand going to the tie of the uniform outfit Yuki is wearing and playfully tugging on it.
“Forget that. I just really want to kiss you right now.” Yuki whispers back and Mayu smirks as she tugs on the tie, capturing Yuki’s lips.
They pull away after some time and Mayu presses her body against Yuki’s, revelling on the familiar warmth she missed so much. “This is nice.” Mayu whispers against Yuki’s neck, giving the taller girl’s pulse a peck. “I missed you so much.”
Yuki kisses her just above her right eye. “I love you.” And when she hears Mayu’s ‘I love you too’, Yuki pulls her in closer and she has to agree that the brat is right. The brat is always right.
Once again, I love hearing what you think about my fics so please, so comment away.
