"Tsubasa-chan?! I thought you said you wouldn't come here.", said Maki.

"Hehe...yes I did Maki-chan! Yes I did. Maybe...I just got curious of what you two will do I guess.", said Tsubasa as she smiled at us.

"Or maybe you came here TO BREAK US UP!! Am I right, Tsubasa-chan?!", Nico exclaimed as she glared at her insecurely.

"...hehe...yeah, you're right, Nico-chan! I still like her after all!"

NICO'S POV

Tsubasa again!? So persistent! She still wants my Maki-chan, huh? Not this time. This time...I will fight for her!! I grabbed Maki-chan and hugged her. I hugged so much to show Tsubasa that I will fight for her no matter what!

Tsubasa started coming towards us. I readied myself for what she might do.

"Well. Good luck you two!", she said.

... ...

Huh? That was it? Tsubasa-chan came to us to say that?

"Tsubasa? What...what did you just say?"

"Hmmm...you don't get it, Nico? I said that I'm wishing that you two have a good luck with your relationship!"

"Eh?! Wait a minute...WAIT A MINUTE!! Tsubasa-chan, you're telling me that you want "us", me and Maki-chan, to be together!?"

"Yep. That's what I meant!"

"What!?"

Okay, now I am confused. And so is Maki-chan beside me.

"Hehe...Nico-chan, you were expecting I would say that I want Maki back. I'll be honest, I do want her back. But Maki-chan had made a decision. She decided to choose you, Nico-chan."

Her reason got me thinking...

"Hold it. Do you really love Maki-chan, huh? Or are you thinking this is all a game - "

"I'm serious Nico."

I know Tsubasa-chan well enough to understand her reaction but still...after all that happened...I kinda find it hard to take it all in.

"Listen. As much as I want to fight you for her, I realized already that Maki-chan loves you more than me. Which means that no matter what I do, in the end Maki will pick you. I won't put myself in a fight I cannot win."

Then Tsubasa looked at Maki.

"As for you, Maki-chan..."

She smiled, closed her eyes, and said:

"Hehe...I hate you sooo much!"

"Ehh?! Tsubasa-chan?!" Maki-chan is clearly caught off guard.

"You hurt my feelings, Maki-chan. I admit that I'm not happy for all you did. You could've just said no to me from the start!"

I can tell she's just taunting Maki-chan. Otherwise, she would have not made a happy face like that.

"Sorry...Tsubasa-chan. I just wasn't thinking straight at the time - "

"I understand. Spending time with you was fun regardless. I won't forget it."

Okay, I get the idea. But I interfered with a question, with my eyebrows drooping.

"Sooo...does this mean you won't bother our relationship anymore, Tsubasa?"

"Well...no...not until I give you two these items!"

"Items? What do you mea - "

Tsubasa-chan pulled out two small boxes from her longcoat's pockets.
