One Shots and Other Stuff [Requests are Open]

Honoka X Kotori [Lemon]

"Hey, Kotori, what's up?" I asked into my cell phone, pressing it in-between my ear and my shoulder blade as I plopped down on my bed, falling into a sea of comforters and pillows.

"I just finished the costumes for out next Live Show," she said excitedly, I could hear her- Kotori- smiling from the other end of the line, and I could picture that cute little grin on her face- the way is complimented her fair skin and pale complexion. The thought of her smiling made my heart race as she spoke lightly, "so I was wondering if you and Umi wanted to meet up to test them out and everything. You know, make sure that they fit alright."

"If you made them, I'm sure they're perfect already. Besides, shouldn't we get the rest of the Muse members together, too?" I wondered, I fell backwards into my bed. Even though Kotori, Umi, and I have been best friends for years and get together all the time, it felt weird discussing the Muses without the rest of the band with us.

"I, um," I could hear her stumbling for the words, her voice high pitched and shaky. I couldn't help but to notice that she seemed nervous about something, "I was hoping that just you two could give me your opinion before the rest of the girls try them on."

"Alright, makes sense-"

"Besides, I want to be completely sure that they fit alright." Her voice changed to determination, and I could feel myself holding on to every word she was saying. That was Kotori, I guess, shy and perky, but determined.

My head fell to the side, eyes closing for a brief second. The second the world went dark, I could picture the three us. Together. Kotori, Umi, and I had been friends for as long as I could remember. We grew up side by side together, always going on crazy adventures based off of my strange, yet fun, ideas. Until recently, though, things stopped feeling like we were just friends. Between Kotori and I, I mean... Well, Umi was acting weird, too, but she always acts weird. Anyways, after we formed Muse, our school idol group, things started getting weird- weirder than before. My heart started fluttering every time Kotori looked my direction and every time we held hands before a show or she made me a costume or anything, really.

"Honoka?" I could hear Kotori's voice fill with worry, and suddenly my heart was racing again.

"Hi, sorry!"

"Did you space out again?" She laughed lightly, "alright, well, how about I bring over your costume?"

"It's getting pretty late, though," I said, pulling the phone out from under my head and looking at the time displayed at the top of the screen, "not to mention that my mom and sister are out, so it's just me." 

"Oh, do you not want me to come over then?"

I bit my lip, "of course I want you to come over, Kotori. I love having you here. Besides, if worse comes to worse, you and Umi can always just spend the night. It'll be like old times!"

"That sounds like fun, Honoka!" I could hear the excitement in her voice, "are you sure your mother would be okay with me coming over without notice, though?"

"Of course, she loves you almost as much as I do." I blurted out. The second I realized what I said, I could feel my face turning scarlet as I covered my mouth with a hand. Thank God Kotori wasn't here in person to see me like this...

"Alright, I'll be over soon then," she said, luckily for me, she didn't interpret what I said the way I meant.

"See you soon," I whispered back, it was a stutter of syllables. 

And with that, the line went dead and I was left laying on my bed alone.

After a few minutes of counting sheep in my head and staring blankly at the ceiling, I could hear someone knocking softly on the front door. It was only a few light knocks before the front door sliding opening could be heard, followed by a familiar, high pitched voice calling my name.
