A Different Kind of Shock (IchiFumi)

(Published February 7, 2021)

No One's POV

"Fumi! We'll be leaving!" Ichie shouts from the front door to make sure that her blonde would hear her. She snickered as she scurries out of the apartment with her blonde's little sister.

"Ichie-san, where are we going anyway?" Shiori couldn't help but ask. Ichie called her in the early morning, asking if she could come by their apartment as soon as possible. Though she had inferred it was something about today's date.

Shiori only got a finger in front of Ichie's mouth and a wink, meaning she wants to keep it secret for the excitement to last.

"Ichie!!" Fumi blinks awake from the noise and rushes to the front door. She didn't even care if her sleeve had fallen to the side showing her bare shoulder.

"See you later Fumi!" Ichie says before slamming the door in front of the shocked face of the blonde. "What the heck? Was I just imagining it or was Shiori just here?"

She rubbed her eyes awake before ultimately opening the door with bated bread. And yes, she was right. She did see her little sister going along with Ichie's impulses. Ichie was playfully waving her hand at her as she disappeared into the stairs down. Fumi squints her eyes as she trains her eyes on the two and their heads popped out on the ground floor. She watches them go until they got out of her line of sight.

That got her to her sense. She drags her feet back into her shared apartment with Ichie. She brings the fallen sleeve back on her shoulder as she stifles a yawn. She settles in front of the kitchen counter, brewing herself coffee. She picks up her phone and dials the number that has been kept on top of her list, just for the sake of checking up on her little sister. She brings the phone to her ear.

"Michiru, you awake?" Fumi could hear shuffling after the call had connected and a yawn coming out.

"Fumi?"

"Shiori's not there I take it?"

"...Mm... Wait!" Fumi takes it that Michiru has finally got herself fully awake and got to her senses. "She did leave me with a note that says, 'Ichie-san called her over asap'."

"I knew it!"

"Fumi-"

"Thanks Michiru." Fumi says before ending the call abruptly, leaving Michiru to collect herself by herself of the current situation before deciding that the other person can take care of herself.

Not in the case for Fumi though. She knows Ichie. She's her girlfriend for god's sake. She also knows how her sister acts and that might be trouble. She just deeply hopes that the two of them won't get into trouble. Now she has to figure out what to do with her day off.

"Do you think she would like this?" Ichie raises a piece of clothing, a pink dress that just barely goes below the knees. Shiori completely disagrees with the statement accompanied with her head shaking, the same can be said with her eyes.

"No! Definitely not! It's in pink!" Shiori tries her best to not entice Ichie into her prank mode again but it falls on deaf ears when she sees that familiar grin on the older woman. "Ichie-san!"

"Just for a good laugh. I'll wear it when she won't anyways. Let's go to another shop." Ichie swiftly puts the dress over her arm and glides through the clothes shop to the counter. Shiori sighs in defeat and quietly follows Ichie.

"Do you want water Ichie-san?" Shiori asks out of worry, the heat getting to her. It was already noon and they still haven't found something suitable for her older sister. They only have less than half a day for them to celebrate it with the person in question.
