Butterflies [Marine x Rushia]

5: Five together

"DON'T COME BACK!!" As King K. Rool landed on the platform, he was met by his doom as Pikachu blasted him off the surface with laughter following the end of the game.
The murderous glint across Marine's eyes soon faded to dust a short breath after.

"Marine also started to get angry..." A silver-haired commented on Marine's rapid breathing from adrenaline.
"My King K. Rool lost." Rushia cried as her defeat was made clear while a Pekora beside her dies from laughter.

It didn't took long before everyone calmed down, starting to settle on a new match.

Now you're probably wondering, how did we get here? Well- let's have a flashback.

[Flashback Starts]

Rushia stared at the ceiling with a grimace, finally taking notice of how loud the alarm can be. Paired with the undying silence, each tick drove her insane. She needed something, anything, to hold her back from snapping.

As if her wishes were heard, the alarm went on. Rushia immediately tapped the buzzing phone off.
Jumping off the bed, she headed to the bathroom, not bothering  to look around and check if her roommate was up or not.

Rushia locked the door shut behind her, unbuttoning her shirt to get undressed. A slender arm reached to the shower's faucet, turning it to be followed by pitter-patter noises.
The cold stream helped knocked off the remaining sleep on her, also cooling her body down.

It didn't took too long before the noises faded to silence. Now out with water dripping on her skin, Rushia took the chance to look around in hopes of finding a Houshou Marine up and awake.

Though there was no sign of the girl she looked for. Assuming the red-haired chose to stay in bed or perhaps is still asleep, Rushia went back to her room, going through her closet for clothes.

Since it was Sunday, they had no classes to attend to, meaning she could do anything she wished for or simply head out, which she has no clue where to. Rushia neither felt like visiting her parents.

After putting on a black shirt and some shorts. She let her body topple on the sheets, her face sinking on the sheets.  Amidst of silence, a ding broke in. Reaching out an arm to her nightstand where her phone laid still, she swiped the screen on to see a message from Pekora.

"Can't say no to free food!" With dull eyes gaining life and thin line curling up on her face, she got up to change into something presentable.
Minutes later, she was fully clothed with the set she bought with Marine the other day.

Rushia stepped out her room, heading on to face Marine's door, a short breath after, she leaned closer to the door. "I'll be out, just in case you wonder." The last part was not simply an excuse to inform her disappearance, but an excuse she also told herself to talk.

At the door, Rushia was greeted by Pekora tapping her toes as her body weakly swing around from left to right and back again. The blue-haired's head perked up upon noticing Rushia's presence.
