My Love

Chapter 2- Together again

"Rice balls? Oh- fine. Just give me one."

Hanayo gives Umi a rice ball.

"Wow- just as good as always Hanayo. This rice ball will never change."

"Mm." Hanayo has already finished two rice balls.

So quick!

"Nyaaaaa Kayo-chin!"

"Rin-chan?"

"Let's go out for some cheese cake! Me and Kotori are hungry."

"Rin-chan, shouldn't you two eat a proper meal first?"

"We did! Me and Kotori just ate your rice balls."

"Well Umi-chan? What do you think?"

"Fine. We'll go out for some early desserts."

Hanayo dearly follows Aqours. Ruby being her favourite member. Hanayo sees herself in Ruby. Shy- yet has an ambition to do something with their own hands.

Umi notices a Ruby poster in Hanayo's house. Not her room-a Ruby poster in the living room.

The poster says "GanbaRuby!" Meaning rubesty.

Rin doesn't follow Aqours. Rin sometimes still dwells in the past. Rin has learned to let go- but sometimes feels like crying some nights. That vacation trip will really make Rin happy and so will the others.

Umi notices a pic of the nine of them together. It's on top of the fireplace. The nine of them in that small photo booth. They all looked so silly. Crammed and can't even smile- but the expressions are cute.

Hanayo also has the 14 of them together. Umi can tell the difference in age. Things were a lot simple back then.

"Umi-chan, we're leaving." Hanayo calls out.

"I'm coming Hanayo. One sec."

Umi smiles. Yea. Those were the days.

"Nyaaaa! Nozo-nyan is also coming! Let's grope her Koto-Nya!"

Yea... those were the days.

Umi sighs.

Bad move Rin. Well- I would like to see the outcome. Haven't seen Nozomi doing her... thing in a long time.

Why am I saying this?!

What's wrong with me? Do I miss Nozomi groping other girls?! W h a t.

Maki and Nozomi were the ones to be there first. Rin... yea she gropes Nozomi but Rin gets obliterated. No one can match Nozomi's fearsome power.

Hanayo smiles. Yep. Good ole days. Nothing's changed.

Maki is still the tsundere. Rin loves to tease Maki but she also gets rubbed by Maki. Seems like Maki has picked up on Nozomi's fearsome technique.

Looks like some of us change a bit after all.

Umi facepalms and sighs. Can't believe I actually miss seeing this. Uggghh- what's wrong with me.

"NYAAAAA" Nozomi handles Rin. No biggie. Rin is a lot taller. Rin is as tall as Eli. Nico is the shortest.

Nozomi feels awkward grabbing Rin. This cat has gotten taller.

Rin also doesn't have flat cat tats. Late blossom. Poor Nico.

Kotori orders the usual. Kotori is sharing with Rin because why not. Rin is all go for some cheese cake.

Umi orders something light. Green tea... idk. Sweets? Like... green tea cake or other sweets. God knows.
