Is this love real?

Chapter 12

"You're bright red, so your ears are still your weakest point I see." Himeko leaked forwards and Mei held himeko's arms in an attempt to make her stop. "W-we're working stop fooling around!" This didn't stop the Vice President.
"Yes, we've been friends since we were young Mei Mei." Mei turned her head closing her eyes as she looked away. "I know you best. So please look at me...
" Himeko held Mei's cheek and Mei trembled while blushing. "President... no Mei Mei." Himeko leaned forward and leaned in trying to catch Mei's lips into hers but Mei held himeko's arm and tightened the grip in an attempt to make Himeko stop and Himeko hissed in pain while Mei's other hand held her forehead to stop her from leaning in. "I already said stop! Can't you see we're in school? Now please stop doing shameful things in here and leave! I will handle locking the school's gates and the paperwork, just get out of my sight." Mei's aura changed and she just glared at Himeko who's body trembled.
End of flashback

Next day

"Yuzuchi, hello earth to yuzuchi..." yuzu was zoned out as her head was face flat on the desk and harumin took a deep breath in and yanked Yuzu's head from the table. "Ughhhh..." yuzu looked like a literal zombie but that still didn't drop her from looking like eye-candy to everyone.
"Yeah I just don't know what to do anymore harumin." Harumin raises an eyebrow. "Wanna talk about it?" Yuzu leaned her head on harumin's shoulder and closed her eyes snuggling in her shoulder. "After I get some shut eye, you don't mind me putting my head on your shoulder right?" Harumin blushed a little. "N-not at all yuzuchi, anything for my best friend, you just get yourself comfy ok?." Yuzu smiled and fell asleep within a couple of seconds. I just need to forgot about this whole situation for a couple of minutes. This is nice...
Yuzu thought nothing of it while harumin tried contain her emotions.

The school day ended and yuzu made her way home from the bus and when she reached the doorstep she checked the letterbox and saw a small pile of papers inside envelopes that said 'from Sho Aihara to Mei Aihara'. Yuzu already knew it was Mei's father so she decided to get the small package and made her way inside. "I'm home!" Yuzu saw Ume cooking and Ume smiled at yuzu while putting oil in her pan. "Hey yuzu! And how was school today." Yuzu looked around the room and replied. "Ah it was ok I guess just the usual boring stuff and lectures, do you know where Mei is? Theirs mail for her." Ume looked at Yuzu's hand which held her school bag and some unopened papers with envelopes in and she pointed to the bathroom. "She's having a bath but-" before Ume could finish her sentence yuzu quickly made her way out outside the bathroom and knocked at the door. "Hey Mei?" Mei who was closing her eyes in relaxation opened them and looked at the door. "Theirs mail for you I wonder who it is." Mei wondered who's it was and she stood up from the bathtub and waited for yuzu to reply. "Well would you look at that, it looks like it's from your father, if you don't reply in the next couple of seconds I'm gonna open it." Yuzu obviously was joking but Mei wasn't as yuzu could hear quickened footsteps from outside and the door quickly opened to reveal Mei panting out of breath. "STOP!" Yuzu's face instantly flushed red and looked down then quickly turned her head to stop herself from looking at Mei naked. "S-sorry I wasn't really g-gonna open it! Seriously who do you take me for? Haha!". Yuzu was talking really fast. "I'll put it on your desk right away!" Yuzu ran out of Mei's sight and quickly her way to her room and slammed the door shut as she heard her heat beating quickly while sweating. Holy shit! That was close, but why did Mei seem so angry...why am I even asking I've never even seen her happy before. Yuzu put the envelopes on Mei's desk and her mind started to ponder for hours and soon before she knew it, it was nighttime for the two.

"Alright girls you better head to bed now." Ume said across the hallway and switched the lights off and Ume made it to her room to sleep and the step sisters were already in bleed with Mei's back facing Yuzu's direction while yuzu was laying on her back staring at the ceiling contemplating of wether to talk to Mei or not. She could hear as Mei was quietly breathing and the silhouettes of her room on the wall. The night is so peaceful yet so suffocating to me
Yuzu nervously gulped and opened her mouth. "H-hey Mei... you up?" Their was a short pause and she slowly moved her head a little to be met with Mei who's eyes slowly opened. "Yes...what is it?" Mei stayed in her position and waited for yuzu to continue and yuzu looked at the desk with the envelopes and back at Mei. "Well I was wondering about why you haven't opened up your mail yet, isn't your father worrying about you the reason he's writing to you in the first place?" Mei's face looked slightly sad and put the blanket more to her face. "Why should you know? It's none of your business what our relationship is like anyway." Yuzu was a little too tired to be angry with Mei so she just replied. "That's a fair point, well hey you wanna see my dad tomorrow since it's the weekend then, I'm sure he would love to see you and I heard I acted a lot like him." This got Mei thinking and she turned her head to be met up with Yuzu's calming emerald eyes that was shining back to violet eyes. "Why me of all people though?" Mei's voice lowered and yuzu just wanted to jolt up but she remained laying and stuttered. Fuck what should I say?. "B-because your my step sister now so it makes sense r-right? And plus mama said so." Yuzu already felt embarrassed from answering with something stupid and she heard Mei's calm soothing voice. "Alright, if mother said I had to then I..." yuzu quietly chuckled when she heard quiet snoring coming from the stern young woman's mouth. Wow she already fell asleep before even finishing her sentence
"Wow if only it could be this easy to sleep at anywhere at anytime like her..." yuzu muttered to herself as she closed her eyes and tried not to get excited now that Mei who was in a daze agreed to spend time with yuzu tomorrow.
