Two fics in a week. Wow, that's a first in a while. Anyway, it's been a stressful week, Ricchan's graduation and all.
Hope you liked this fic. I missed writing KojiYuu. :3
Just Jealous
Haruna took frequent hidden glances at Yuko as she played with her PSP.
The squirrel was running around the theater's backstage, hugging the other members like there was no tomorrow.
Why shouldn't she, though?
She only had a few days left as an AKB48 member, anyway, so she needed as much skinship with her friends as possible.
Haruna did know that fact very well, but the girl couldn't help but feel...
Jealous.
She was accustomed to seeing the younger girl like that, but there was still something oddly different, as if Yuko had more affection towards the other members than she had towards Haruna herself.
She puffed her cheeks at the thought and buried herself into the world of her games, ceasing her glances at Yuko to avoid getting anymore annoyed—or in her case, jealous.
"Alright you guys, return to your respective teams!" Takamina, the General Manager, shouted, clasping her hands together and ushering the members to take their places.
"You too," she mumbled to Yuko, trying to untangle herself from the pair of arms wrapped around her.
☆☆☆
"That's a wrap, guys!"
The midget's voice gave the other members a sense of relief.
Except the whole of Team K.
"We're still not done here, Takamina-san," said Yui.
The Team K members, with the exception of Yui and Rie, groaned.
"Aren't you being too harsh, Yui?" Takamina asked, giving her a few soft pats on the back.
"Yeah, Yuihan. There's always tomorrow," Yuko approached her junior and placed her hands on either of her shoulders.
Yui succumbed to her seniors' words and called it a day.

The lights in the theater were dim, and the members were already packing their bags.
Haruna was still busy gaming, when she heard Yuko's voice again.
"Hey, midget! Treat me to some ramen!"
After hearing Yuko ramble about things in order to persuade Takamina, the midget ended up treating Team K to ramen, takoyaki and sukiyaki.
Haruna glared at Yuko who didn't seem to notice.
She puffed her cheeks again out of annoyance, grabbed her bag, and stormed out of the theater when she realized Yuko wasn't coming home with her.
☆☆☆
Haruna unlocked the door to her apartment and slammed it shut after entering, stomping her feet until she reached her bedroom.
She felt frustrated with everything. Yuko, especially.
She didn't care if it was jealousy boiling inside her. She was infuriated by Yuko leaving her hanging in the theater. Moreover, the shorty didn't even bother asking permission to go with the others unlike how she always did.
She groaned and took out her PSP, furiously mashing the buttons to rid her off of her fury.
A while later, she heard her doorbell ring.
'That would be her,' Haruna thought to herself and rolled her eyes.
She opened the door, and indeed, was it Yuko.
The minute the door opened, the squirrel pulled Haruna into a hug.
Haruna was a bit glad with the action, but being the one and only Haruna Kojima who rarely shows affection, she acted coldly and asked,
"What are you doing here?"
Yuko didn't say anything and hugged her tighter, nuzzling her face against Haruna's chest.
"I'm here for you," she heard her through a muffled voice.
"After hugging everyone in the theater and leaving me, that's what you'll say? You're an idiot."
Yuko shifted her head to look lovingly into Haruna's eyes. She grinned goofily, "I have you all to myself, but they don't, so they'll miss me when I'm gone."
The tall girl pouted. "I know that. Don't you think I don't know that? But don't you think you're loving them a bit too much?"
"You're just jealous," Yuko smiled and hugged her tighter. She knew her Haruna too well.
"Am not."
"Whatever you say. Now let's go to bed. I'm exhausted."
The two walked back to Haruna's room, and Yuko practically threw herself onto the bed.
Haruna sat on the bedside thinking over little things.
"Yuko...?" She called, making sure the other was awake.
"Yeah?" Yuko answered.
"I'm really not jealous, okay?"
Yuko giggled softly. "I love you too."
