Different Kind Of Affection? (Part 2)

Yuzu's eyes sparkled at the sight of the item in front of her. "H-H-Harumin..!!" She exclaimed as she tackled the brunette beside her, pulling her into a tight and short hug.

Harumi chuckled lightly, her hazel eyes filled with happiness. 'I'm happy I thought right.' She pulled away from Yuzu as she grinned and pointed at the outfit she brought for Yuzu. "I knew you'd like it, Yuzucchi! So ya feeling better now?"

"Harumiiiin.." Yuzu felt joyous tears form on her eyes as she sniffed violently, "How did you know I was feeling down.. and how the heck did you even know I wanted this dress for a week now!?"

The brunette smirked proudly as she placed her hand over her chest with a smug face, "Of course I would know both, I'm not your mom and best friend for nothing!" She stated half-joking, giving Yuzu a playful grin. 

Yuzu stared at the outfit before looking deep into Harumi's hazel eyes. "You sure do know everything about me, Harumin." The blonde said while her lips curved into a small yet bright smile.

"You always understand me," Yuzu continued as she closed her eyes. Pausing, she slowly opened them back up, "I'm glad you do." The blonde mumbled and looked back at the brunette.

Harumi sighed and smiled as she placed an arm over Yuzu's shoulders, saying, "You know, we both know that something's up." 

The brunette leaned inches closer to see the emotions caged in the blonde's eyes. "So spill the beans already."

Yuzu felt reluctant at first but she knew that Harumi would always understand her. No matter what. Taking a deep breath, the blonde nodded. "But first we gotta sit down somewhere comfortable."

Harumi giggled and pushed herself away to give Yuzu her personal space. "Right, Yuzucchi."

"So, mind telling me now?" The brunette swiftly sipped through her glass of juice before putting it back down to the table. She looked right at Yuzu, leaning onto her hand to which her arm supported. 

The blonde slowly nodded and let out a sheepish smile. "Well.. you see," She started, looking right below her because she was afraid to look at the brunette directly.

She started rubbing the back of her neck that showed a sign of her nervousness, "I.. really don't know how to act around Mei."

"Uh-huh," Harumin listened and nodded, taking a long sip from her orange juice. She stared right into Yuzu and noticed her fidgeting. Knowing that the blonde in front of her looked like some kind of nervous puppy; she couldn't help but smile helplessly. 

Yuzu glanced to her right then to her left, her fingers fidgeting and twitching. "I know it's a really stupid thing to be upset at and all.." She mumbled as she slowly lifted her head up and was ready to face Harumi. "But I really want to make her feel that I can also do something to make her happy and to understand her better." 

To the blonde's surprise, the brunette in front of her wasn't feeling awkward or anything like that at all. Instead, she was smiling softly and said, "It's not stupid." 

Harumi shifted her gaze to the empty glass, swaying it side to side. "It just means that you're not afraid to do everything for her." She mumbled and kept her eyes locked into the glass. She felt as if she just mocked herself to which she mentally sighed at. 

For whatever reason, what Matsuri told her kept ringing on her mind and that mentally tortured her.

"You seem to be always just watching from a distance, but... that means you're afraid of being hurt. You always run from conflicts."

'..Sometimes that brat can really be something, huh. Really annoying.' The brunette thought to herself and then averted her gaze to Yuzu. "I think that doing something like that isn't stupid at all."

Just because of that, the blonde's mood became lighter. Yuzu slowly smiled which turned to a cheery grin. "You think so?" 

"Yeah, really. Trust me Yuzucchi." Harumi replied and smiled.

"If you say so... Harumin." Yuzu somehow felt a little embarrassed by sharing it but now her happiness crushed that feeling. "You're always so nice to me.." She mumbled to herself and sighed softly, her fingers still fidgeting.

Just by looking at the reassured blonde in front of her, the brunette somehow forgot what the pinkette said. She gulped down and knew that what she felt would definitely hurt her and Yuzu as well. 

'The only reason why I'm so nice to you is because I love you. I love you more than you think.'

"Hey cmon, why wouldn't I be nice to you, Yuzucchi?" Harumi grinned and stood up from her seat then sat down next to Yuzu. "You're like, my bestest friend ever!" 

Yuzu felt more safe and happier as soon as Harumi grinned at her. She smiled so adorably and happy; the girl beside her felt her heart melt. "Yeah.. though sometimes I wish I fell in love with you instead." 

"Then maybe I don't have to overthink everything like this." Yuzu laid her head down to Harumi's shoulder. "Maybe my heart would ache less." She closed her eyes and felt so comfortable resting her head on the brunette's shoulder. Smiling bitterly, she opened her eyes as she nuzzled on Harumi's arm.

The brunette was speechless. She never expected the blonde to say such things. She felt like her heart was gonna burst sooner. 'If you only knew how much I wished for that to happen.' She thought to herself as she raised her hand to ruffle Yuzu's hair, 'If you only knew how much I want to kiss you.'

"Don't worry Yuzucchi," Harumi stated as she softly and gently place Yuzu's head over her lap, caressing her blonde locks. "Harumin mama will always be here for you! I'd always be rooting for you and Mei."

'Even if it hurts me lying to myself, I'd rather lie just to see you grinning happily whenever you're with Mei.'

Yuzu smiled and turned her head over to look at Harumi's eyes. "Thank you, Harumin. You're the best!" She said with her sweet smile unfading.

Harumi smiled back but hers showed a hint of sorrow and bitterness as she closed her eyes to hide the pain. "You're exaggerating, Yuzucchi." She mumbled, stroking Yuzu's hair. 

'I'd endure every pain for you to be happy.'
