NozoEli one-shots

Truly in love?

Holiday break was coming close. Everyone in class was talking about what they would do at the break. But all Eli could do was stare at Nozomi's back as she gathered her things to go home, Muse didn't have practice today since half of the group were busy with other things. Eli just continued staring at Nozomi as she blushed furiously. She felt pretty odd today, pretty much like the feeling when you have fallen in lo- No. She shook her head and decided that this was something that would only last for today. She catched up with Nozomi and felt nervous all of a sudden. Why did she feel like that? It was something uneasy with this feeling. It had never happened before.

– Can I come home to you? I feel a bit lonely.
The blonde felt a bit suprised by her action and blushed slightly.
– Of course Elichi, you should know that you don't need to ask, and since our break is coming up soon I'm not busy with anything- except for being at the shrine, Nozomi said while she was smirking. They quickly noticed a heavy downpour had came from nowhere.
– Let's run as fast as we can.
Nozomi smiled and they intertwined hands just to make sure they didn't lose each others.

They started to run. But then suddenly something happened. Nozomi stumbled and fell forward, and stupidly, their hands were still intertwined, so Eli was dragged down with her. And Eli instantly pulled her hand around Nozomi's waist unconciously, to prevent her from falling. As they stood there, Eli quickly realised the proximately of their faces and became totally flustered. Their chests were pressed together so they could hear each others heartbeats. Of course this was very distracting to the blonde. The moment had been for only swift seconds but for Eli it felt like an eternity. Nozomi was the one to loosen the grip. Eli immidiately pouted before realising it herself. Nozomi saw it and grinned widely.
– Hmm, perhaps Eli wanted to stay like that a little bit longer, huh?
Nozomi said with an evil look plastered on her face, but was blushing a bit because she honestly felt like she wanted to, but she'd never tell that to Eli. Her heart pounded like 100 times faster and she felt safer when she was with Eli. No way. Is it seriously possible that I have fallen in love with Elichi.
How could it not be though.I have realised long ago, that it wasn't friendship I saw for us, but love, as in lovers, Nozomi thought
– M-Mou Nozomi, yamete kudasai!
Nozomi laughed at Eli's reply as they started to run again.
There was something odd with Elichi today though. Was there someone on her mind?

They finnally came inside Nozomi's home and closed the door, panting
– Elichi you want tea?
And before Eli could even reply Nozomi already went to the kitchen as if that was the most natural thing to do
– Sure
Nozomi smiled for herself. Of course that would be the answer.
Eli looked at Nozomi's back while she prepared the tea. Eli came up with a question that immidiately made her face burn crimson red, and she tried to at least make her voice sound normal since Nozomi couldn't see her in the position the purple haired was now.
– N-Nozomi...
– Is there something wrong Elichi
– Are you in love with someone?
This question immidiately made Nozomi freeze and she kept quiet because she knew exactly who she had fallen for. Her best friend right beside her back. She answered in a low tone
– Y-Yes...I have....but I haven't had the courage to confess to that person...
Now it was Eli's turn to remain silent.
– Then what is that person like?
– That person is gorgeous, smart and cute. A person who can be so stubborn and think of everybody else before themself, but still never gives up what they love and protect their friends through everything. That's a person I have fallen in love with.
Eli sighed. Nozomi already have a crush....
But wait. Isn't it the same as saying that she likes me?!

Eli had went home and Nozomi was questioning the tarot cards about what Eli felt for her, deeply blushing for herself. It was the 4oth card draw and so far nothing had helped her to find an answer. The card took her with surprise though. The hanged man. And what she just asked was "Does Elichi love me back?" after getting no fond results questioning something else about their realationship. And that card meant that the answer was yes. She blushed and her heart pounded really hard against her ribcage.
So Elichi does love me? No this can't be true.
