Saki looked in the mirror at her reflection. Her hair was soaked and drops of water trickled down her forehead, as she had just finished showering.
A knock on the door brought Saki out of her train of thought. "Saki? You okay?" The former delinquent knew that voice. It was her friend and love interest, Sakura.
"Y-yeah! Why wouldn't I be?" The door opened, and the redheaded zombie walked in. "Saki?" No response.
Sakura took Saki's arm and lead her to the bedroom, where they sat down. "Talk to me Saki. You need to understand that I'm here for you."
Saki looked at Sakura, seeing her smile. The same heartwarming smile she fell in love with. Seeing that expression was enough to convince her.
"Okay. I'll talk."
Saki held her knees to her chest, wrapping them in her arms. "Do you remember Reiko?" "Your friend from the Dorami Biker Gang?" "The same one."
The blonde closed her eyes.
"I admired her. She was strong, brave, and everything else I ever wanted to be. When I found out she got married and had a kid, I was upset. That was because little did I know what I had for her was more than admiration." "What was it then?"
Saki took a deep breath, fearing this moment for a while, but knew it was inevitable.
"I was in love with her."
Sakura was shocked. "Love?" "Yeah. I know. The big, tough Saki is a lesbian and likes girls. Go ahead. Make fun of me."
Saki waited for the torment and insults to be thrown at her. But to her shock, a hand was placed on her shoulder. "Why would I make fun of you for being yourself?"
Saki was shocked. "You... don't hate me?" "Of course not! And while we're on the topic of coming out..." Sakura scratched her cheek shyly. "I'm... bisexual."
Saki was shocked. "As in you like guys and girls?"
"It's pretty weird. Originally, I thought I was straight, but boy was I wrong", Sakura said with an awkward laugh. "And funny enough, the reason I also like girls is because of you."
Saki's eyes widened. "I don't know what it is about you, but whenever I thought about you, I couldn't stop. N-not that I'm an obsessive creep, because I'm not! I just thought I'd-!"
Sakura was cut off with a kiss from Saki. Or at least, it was supposed to be a kiss, but it appeared more like Saki was sucking the area around Sakura's mouth. "S-Saki?" "Shit! Sorry!" "What was that?" "A kiss? I mean, I've never done one before."
Sakura gave a sympathetic smile and took Saki's face gently in her hands. "Here's how you do it." Saki received a kiss to the lips, this time it was proper, unlike hers from earlier.
"Wow." "Congrats Saki. You just had your first kiss." "Where did you learn to kiss like that?" "I dated a guy before, but that was it."
A silence hung in the air. "So are we..." "I don't think it would be a terrible idea." "So we are..." "Girlfriends. Not like, two best friends, but actually romantic girlfriends." "I get it Sakura."
The two girls laughed. Saki rested on her new girlfriend's shoulder. "Thank you Sakura. For accepting me." "Of course. I'm always here for you."
Unbeknownst to the two girls, five more girls were outside the door, eavesdropping. "Okay, we should go", said Ai. "But why? I wanna keep watching!", whined Lily.
"It's getting late. We should get to bed", said Yugiri, leading her friends away.
