Chapter 3
Nico sighed as she walked to the roof with only Umi. They were a little distracted and didn’t see that the other girls had gone ahead. She let out a loud yawn as she walked up the steps, her siblings had kept her up all night. Nico looked over at Umi who looked kind of nervous, maybe it was because they were technically late for practice? Well that didn’t really concern Nico, well it kinda did but she wasn’t going to say anything.
While they made their way up the stairs Umi’s hand brushed against hers. Umi jumped back in shock and grabbed her hand pulling it to her chest as she let out a loud “No! Don’t touch me!” Nico stared at her in astonishment “Um…Excuse me? You touched me first” Nico stated with a growl and an accusing finger.
Just as Umi was about to say something, Honoka came rushing out from outside “Are you alight Umi?! I head you scream!” Honoka asked loudly as she ran over to Umi. “I’m fine, Honoka” Umi said stopping to look at Honoka before looking back at Nico “Nico just touched me that’s all” Umi dropped her hand from her chest. Honoka looked over at Nico “Niiiiiiiiiiiiicoooooooo” Honoka whined “You shouldn’t touch people without conseeeeeent” Nico looked at Honoka with clear annoyance “First of all she touched me!” Nico yelled as her eyebrow twitched slightly. “Would I believe Umi who has been my best friend for years or Nico who is known for lying?” Honoka asked as she thought about it jokingly to tease Nico and then she grabbed Umi’s hand “I believe Umi!” Honoka exclaimed as she dragged Umi up the rest of the steps. “Aaaaaaaaaaa!” Nico screamed “I’m not coming to practice!”
Nico stormed down the steps and to the nurse’s office. “What the fuck…” She groaned as she opened the nurse’s office door. The nurse wasn’t in there, Nico walked over to the bed and sat down on it pulling out her pigtails. She laid down to blow off some steam and happened to fall right to sleep.
When Nico woke up she was greeted to a hand stroking her hair. She opened her eyes and looked up to see who the person was. She saw Umi with her eyes peacefully closed as she hummed and stroked Nico’s hair. Nico didn’t know whether she should say something or not, she kinda really didn’t want to because she was enjoying the affectionate touch. Nico finally decided it would be best to say something “Um” Nico mumbled as she leaned up using her elbows to hold her up. This sent Umi backwards, she quickly pulled her hand out of Nico’s hair and let out a yelp. Nico groaned “Why do you freak out when you touch me?” She asked as she looked at Umi through annoyed red eyes. Umi looked away a little nervous before muttering “Force of habit” Nico looked at her questioningly before deciding not to ask “So it’s not because you hate me?” Nico blurted out and immediately regretted saying it. She closed her mouth and looked away not wanting to mess up again. “What?” Umi muttered “Why do you think I would hate you?” Umi asked “Well…I’m annoying and you don’t really talk to me so…” Nico muttered with a pout. Umi quickly grabbed her hand and placed it against her face. “I would never hate you, I don’t have the heart to hate people” Umi stated.
Nico was definitely startled with what Umi did as she stared at Umi she was definitely uncomfortable and she was shaking. “You don’t have to touch me Umi-“ Umi quickly cut her off “No! I need to show you that I don’t hate you” Nico blinked “You know there is probably another way to show me” Nico said with a small smile as she got an idea. “Another way? What would that be?” Umi asked. “Like this~” Nico purred as she leaned over and gently pecked Umi’s lips. Umi sat there for a second before dropping Nico’s hand and becoming flustered. Umi fell backwards and Nico smirked. That smirk quickly dropped when Umi let out screech “No!”
Honoka and Rin quickly busted into the room. “Are you okay Umi?!” Rin asked loudly as she ran over to the blue haired girl on the floor. “Niiiiiiiiicooooooo remember what I said? You need conseeeent” Honoka whined as her and Rin made eye contact before saying the most stupid thing ever at the same time:
“Consent is good! Consent is great! If I say no, it counts as rape!”
Umi and Nico looked at each other before looking at the two orange haired girls. “Both of you are fucking idiots”
