Mint-Flavored [Love Live! - Rin x Hanayo Oneshot]

Mint-Flavored

~3rd Person POV~

"Hanayo!" Rin called, running over to her girlfriend and latching onto her arm. "Can we go to the fair today?"

Hanayo flinched slightly at the sudden contact and blushed. "U-um...sure...." She mumbled, giving Rin a small, soft smile.

The ginger beamed up at Hanayo, rubbing her cheek affectionately against the brunette's arm. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She repeated over and over until Hanayo pushed her away.

"A-alright, I get it.... Please be a bit quieter...." Hanayo waved a hand at her girlfriend, laughing nervously at the ginger.

"Sorry...." Rin puffed out her cheeks, looking down out of embarrassment. "I'm just excited...."

"I know you are," Hanayo replied, smiling. "I am too. You just...explode when you're excited and I don't." The brunette's explanation seemed to help Rin control her excitement a bit, as the ginger nodded like an eager puppy.

"Roger! I'll try to control my excitement just like you!" She grinned, sticking her tongue out a bit.

Hanayo nodded. "Do your best."

Later
----------
Hanayo munched happily on a croissant, humming a tune to herself as she ate lunch.

Suddenly, Rin grabbed her shoulders from behind and clamped a hand over her mouth.

"M-mmfph...!" Hanayo twitched slightly out of fear as she froze stiff in her position.

"Gotcha~!" Rin cheered happily, leaning on Hanayo's head. "Can I have a bit of your croissant?"

"R-Rin.... Don't scare me like that.... I honestly thought I was being kidnapped!" Hanayo huffed, pulling off a piece of bread and handing it to Rin, who just popped it into her mouth, carefree.

"I didn't think you'd actually be that scared," Rin answered, making an attempt to defend herself. "And why're you eating all alone out here? Don't you want to come eat with the rest of μ's?"

"Not...today...." Hanayo mumbled quietly, her voice sounding almost as if she was a mouse.

"What's that?" Rin grinned, pulling on Hanayo's cheek with one hand. "Speak up~!" She teased.

"Rin...." Hanayo whined, grabbing her girlfriend's wrist. "I just wanted to think for a while, maybe...."

"Maybe? You don't even know?"

"I...guess not...." The brunette pursed her lips in embarrassment and tensed up slightly.

"You're really adorable." Rin giggled, twirling a string of Hanayo's hair around her finger as she spoke quietly.

"W-what...?" Hanayo flinched, not expecting that type of a reply.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll take care of you no matter what!" The ginger exclaimed, moving to sit next to Hanayo. "Just count on me!" She grinned, pointing her thumb towards herself.

Hanayo looked up at Rin's face for a moment before she smiled, nodding. "Yeah...."

After School
----------
Hanayo waited patiently at the school gate for Rin to show up. After a while, the said ginger came running out, waving enthusiastically at her girlfriend.

"Ha-na-yo~!" Rin called, beaming at the brunette. Once she had gotten close enough, the ginger lowered her voice. "I'll be at your house around four o'clock, alright?"

Hanayo nodded. "Sure."

"Great! I can't wait...!" The ginger bounced up and down on her feet excitedly before she gasped softly and stopped. "Gotta keep it together like you, right?"
