Honami knows she shouldn't take advantage of this moment, but how could they resist?
Shiho. Her hair, out of her face, clipped by a small green butterfly. She's focused, studying keys, tones, and sounds.
Honami admires her. Her face, glowing in the light of the window as she's surrounded by a group of girls not nearly as important.
Honami yearns to be a part of that group. The ability to see Shiho's beauty up close. A sight was so sacred. A sight Honami needed to see.
Waiting slightly impatiently for the group of students talking to her to leave them be, Honami let her smile slightly droop as if to give a hint.
They take it, leaving Honami to gather up the courage to speak to Shiho.
As Honami approached, the girls around Shiho lowered their tone, pulling Shiho out of her focus.
"Hinomori-Chan... Mochizuki-Chan is coming our way." A girl said, her worried floating near her words, enter twining with some, making her voice crack.
Shiho was confused. "Honami-Chan? Why do you seem so worried about that?"
Another girl piped up," She weird!" The girl said, keeping her voice at a low whisper." I've heard nasty things about her."
Nasty.
Nasty things about...
Honami?
"Are you sure it wasn't someone else?"
The girls leaned forward, getting closer to Shiho. One spoke slowly.
"Yes. She's a..." The girl's voice piped down to a low whisper, one Shiho could barely hear. "Lesbian..."
The girls around Shiho's faces morphed into disgust. Shiho's morphed into anger.
"What's so wrong with that?" Shiho asked, her tone raised with her.
The girls exchanged glances. "Are you kidding? That's disgusting! What if she forces herself on us or something?"
Shiho stared. "I'm bisexual. Are you saying I'm going to force myself on you?"
"um... No.. "
"If I won't force myself on you as a woman who likes another woman, why would Honami?"
Shiho's tone got louder, causing people to turn in her direction. It angered Shiho when the girls didn't respond. They cowered in fear, some with tears in their eyes. It made Shiho furious. Why are they acting like victims when Honami is?
"Are you going to spread rumors about me being gross because I'm bisexual? Or is that just because they're a lesbian? Or maybe it's because it's Honami?"
The girls just stuttered, tripping up their words in fear.
"N-no!"
"So why? What made you do it to Honami?"
Shiho started a new sentence before being stopped. A hand was placed on her shoulder. Shiho turned around to see who the presence was.
Honami.
"I think I can fight for myself, Shi. Don't you?"
Shiho nodded, stepping back.
"I don't appreciate your attitude, ladies, and I don't think the headmaster will either. It is true. I am a lesbian, but that gives you no reason to hate me because I will never like you. So please, follow me to the headmaster's office. Shiho, you are included."
The girls stood up, moving close to Honami.
"Please, stand away from me. You're disgusting." Honami said a sweet smile on her face.
The walk to the headmaster's room was silent. Honami walked alongside Shiho, as the girls stood behind.
Leading the girls inside of the headmaster's room, Honami pulled Shiho away into a different room.
"Shouldn't you be standing in there? Making sure they don't lie?"
"I already informed the headmaster of what happened."
"Oh. Am I in trouble?"
"No."
"Why am I here then?"
"I wanted to give you a special thank you gift. For defending me."
Shiho lifted an eyebrow, signaling for Honami to go on.
Honami took a step toward Shiho, leaning down and kissing her. A short peck, but it was full of love.
Shiho's mind went blank, trying to process what happened. By the time she came back to reality, Honami was gone, leaving Shiho to bask in her feelings.
She likes them.
