As soon as the sun rised on the next day, the apartment was filled with a glistening tint of gold. Orihara awoke first; to her surprise, Ado snuggled even closer and halfly hugged her friend in her sleep. She looked peaceful.

「I'M ABOUT TO GO INTO CARDIC ARREST- WHY IS SHE SO CUTE??」What wonderful thoughts to start into the day!
But well, what can she do now? Orihara was literally stuck between her friend's arms. She could even feel her breath on her collarbones because Ado had literally pressed her head onto her (how can she breathe??).

She could survive this.
For a few minutes. Then the gayness got too much.

"Ado, hey, wake uppp... Pleasepleaseplease..." The artist's words showed effect. Ado quietly moaned - NOT IN A WEIRD WAY - and then lifted her head slightly. Maybe she really was about to suffocate. "... Good morning... um... is that too close?" "No, no, it's alright. But... it's kinda hard to escape like this." "Escape? Huhhh? From me?? No way!" "What are you- OAGH-"
Ado hugged her friend tightly, hold me tight, breaking my ri- ERM... anyways.
"I'm suffocating!! Ado, stop!" "Never!"

Just then, Orihara felt a certain warmth overtake her again. Ado really took her breath away. Literally. Maybe she really was into her friend... Scary! Whatever, she'll accept the outcome of her feelings either way.

Then, Ado finally released her. "Okay, now you can escape. But be aware... I'll be lurking in the shadows..." "Woah! So scary..." With a laugh, Orihara got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom to begin her routine. Brushing your teeth, washing your face and doing your hair is essential for looking good. A few minutes later, Ado walked in too.
"Actually, how did you sleep?" Orihara asked her. "Pretty good... Probably the best sleep I've had in decades." "Woah... I think you'll be sleeping over more often then..." "Definitely! Having such a good teddy bear to cuddle is really amazing!" "Haha, okaaay."

Later, when Orihara served breakfast, both got dressed and Toryo was fed, the two ventured out for a small adventure. Alone, introverts are really quiet, but when with friends, they can be louder than the most extroverted person on the planet.
"So, where do you want to go?" "I thought about the Kousen Tea House... I've always wanted to go there with my brother, but I never really had time... it's pretty popular amongst the students at uni, you know?" "Wow, Ado, how long have you been spying on others?" "Uhm... About three years...?" "I see..."

The two passed some shops, talked about random things from their life and counted stray cats along the street.
Finally, they arrived at the Kousen Tea House. It looked nice and traditional, a big green neon sign hanging over the entrance. And something - or better said, someone - was there too.
"Oh my god, is that Naima?" Ado's face had pure surprise in it. "It's really her-" "I can't believe she went here too! C'mon, let's say hi!"
She dragged Orihara towards the colleague. "Hey, Naima!" "BAAAA- WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SCARE ME LIKE THAT?" Poor Naima... Was that revenge for Friday? "Haha, sorry... Me and Orihara decided to come here, and it was really funny to see you here too. Say, what brings you here?"
Naima looked down at her tea. "Uhm... My gi- I mean, my friend works here. I'm stopping by as often as I can to cheer her up." "How sweet of you." Orihara smiled. "It it okay if we accompany you?" "Sure... whatever."

Soon, a waitress came out of the tea house. "Oh, here she comes. MERRY, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!!!" "Coming! Oh, Naima, are those the two you've been talking about?" "Yep. Ado, Orihara, this is Merry. She works here so she can pay the bills for her baseball career." "You play baseball, Merry?" Ado was immediately interested. "Yeah, I do! I'm not very good at it though, haha. Say, which tea do you two like to drink?" "Japanese cherry for me please." Good choice, Orihara. "And some iced black tea for me, thanks!" "Alrighty, I'll be back in some time." With that, Merry disappeared into the tea house again.

"Merry sure is a cheerful lady. Hey Naima, how come that you like her so much? Isn't she like your polar opposite?"
Naima took a sip from her tea. "We aren't that different. Just like me, she has something agains society... but she doesn't let it show that much. It's like being undercover." "I get it." "Also, why did you two show up togheter, are you girlfriends or something like that?"
Both Orihara and Ado went a little nervous there. Orihara was the one to speak again. "We just happened to work on our project and Ado slept over... so..." "Did you fuck?" "NAIMAAAA... Stop being so dirty!" "But Ado seems to like it! Look at her!"
Poor Ado's nose was bleeding. "Ha???" "Your nose is bleeding." "OH-" Quickly, the blue haired woman took a napkin and wiped away the blood. "Oh shit, it's really much-" "Seeee, Ado wants to be railed by you." "SHE DOESN'T-" "Yeah, I don't want to have sex with Orihara! That would be, like, totally gay! And, uhm... I wouldn't be ready for it too... having sex at age 21 is too early."
Naima laughed. Orihara put a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Don't worry, that's Naima. I bet she's just teasing you." "I hope so. God, imagine having sex with the same gender... How do you even do that?" "I better don't want to find that out..."

A little later Merry arrived with the teacups, she even brought one for herself. "We don't have much customers today anyway, so I think it's okay if I talk with you two for some time."
The advert didn't lie; the tea was amazing. Even Ado had to taste Orihara's japanese cherry tea to make sure it was really that good.
