Rule Four || Dream

"I'm proud of you, Erie-chan," Aya said when Erie got in the car. "You stood up for me."

Erie frowned as she put her seatbelt on. Yeah, she stood up for her girlfriend, but it was Shizuka. She hurt Shizuka. Then she kissed Aya. In front of Shizuka. Shizuka probably hates Erie now. All Erie wanted was to make her jealous.

So Shizuka would take her back.

Obviously, that hasn't worked yet. Shizuka, being the good person she was, didn't try to break them up. She wouldn't eat lunch anymore, not wanting to see the two. She didn't even try to talk one-on-one about her dating Aya.

She hates Shizuka for being good.

"I had to," Erie replied tonelessly. She didn't love Aya. Aya loved her though, hence the reason see been chasing Erie around for weeks. But Erie never told Shizuka that. If she did, maybe Shizuka would've kept her.

Aya didn't notice the change of her voice and started to drive. "Where do you want to eat?"

"Home."

Aya chuckled softly. "Anxious to see my house, huh?"

"No. I just want to go home. I don't feel good."

"Are you sick? If you are, I'll take care of you. I don't want my Erie-chan to be sick."

Erie shook her head. Aya was caring, but it didn't compare to Shizuka. The brunette pretended like she didn't care that much, but Erie knew Shizuka would be alarmed at something. Erie had to look deeper to know how Shizuka felt. Aya showed everything.

"I'm tired. Can you take me home?"

"Sure, princess."

Aya drove the teenager home, trying to figure out plans on Saturday. But honestly, Erie just wanted to spend time with Shizuka and try to make the older take her back. She knows she's hurt the beautiful woman, and wants to make it up to her for it.

"Erie-chan!"

"What?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the amusement park on Saturday?" Aya asked.

"Don't you think that's a bad idea? I'm an idol now, people will recognize me. Then they'll suspect we're dating."

"Oh. Right. I almost forgot. How about we stay inside and watch a movie?"

"Is it going to be horror?" Erie asked hopefully.

"Of course not. You know I don't like horror."

Erie slumped back in her seat. Shizuka wasn't very fond of horror movies, but she let Erie watch them whenever she was in the mood.

When they finally pulled up to Erie's house, Aya leaned in to give her a kiss. It took all her willpower to not pull away. She favored Shizuka's soft, sweet, plump lips over Aya's. She liked the way Shizuka was timid at first before beginning to open her mouth. She wanted to wrap her arms around Shizuka as they swapped spit like the couples in movies.

But no. She was kissing Aya. Erie felt like she was cheating on Shizuka, because her heart belonged to the brunette.

"Good-night, Erie-chan."

"Night, Aya-chan."

Erie quickly left, going inside her house, ignoring her family and going straight to her room. She fell on her bed and began crying immediately, thinking about Shizuka.

She's been crying a few minutes when there was a knock at the door. "Y-yes?" She shakily answered.

Her okaasan gave her a small smile when she poked her head around the corner. Erie wasn't exactly a spitting image of her mother. She looked both like her mother and father, but favored obvious qualities with her okaasan, like her eyes.
