An Angel's Lips (天使の唇)

Side A: Falling Angels

A/N: HAPPY NEW YEAR! Surprised? Think of this as a spontaneous gift in hopes this year won't be shit.

This was definitely not planned, but after I bought a Yoshiko x Hanamaru doujin (that was adorable and totally worth it) when I went to Comiket, my love for this pairing grew more and then I heard this song after so long and well, I hope you like it? Lol, enjoy! It's a two-parter because I wanted to spilt the song in half for some reason lololol.

And just in case you get confused everything that's bold and italicized is a song lyric, and everything that's only italicized is Yosh--Yohane's thoughts.

*this is set in the future, zura~

Honey, why are you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now

The phone rang, causing Yoshiko Tsushima to groggily look to the digital clock on the dresser, annoyed that her sleep was disturbed.

3:40AM

She sighed and turned to her right, trying to get comfortable and hoping whoever was calling would realize how goddamn early it was in the morning and people need to sleep.

Unfortunately, it continued to ring.

"Nm'cha gonna get that Yocchan?" Riko, her current girlfriend of almost half a year sleepily asked, lightly nudging her younger companion.

After another ring, the raven haired girl groaned and blindly grabbed for her cell that lay on the dresser next to her bed, answering once her hand clasped around the cool object.

"Mm'llo?"

"...Yoshiko-chan?"

Startled out of her sleepy state once she recognized the voice, she quickly sat up, pink eyes widening. H-huh...???

"Wh-wha--" A sniffle interrupts her attempt at forming any words.  

"I-is now a good ti-time...?"

Taking a glance at her girlfriend, she softly moved to the edge of the bed, not wanting to disturb the older girl, "G-give me a minute..."

The fallen angel removes the phone from next to her ear and stares at it intently, wondering if this was a good idea.

It sounded like she...was crying. Zuramaru...

Looking again to the softly snoring Riko, she mentally apologizes and leaves the room, treading lightly as she makes her way through the apartment and walks out to the balcony, softly closing the sliding door behind her.

She walks to the railings and places a hand against the cool metal. She then takes a breath and places her phone against her ear, a nostalgic feeling blooming within her.

Honey, why are you crying, is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

"Zuramaru? Still there?" She asks, her voice barely above a whisper, afraid of being overheard for some reason. She wasn't even doing anything wrong, just talking on the phone with...with my ex.

She hears a sniffle, "Y-yeah, I'm here zura."

When the line went quiet, Yoshiko had a thousand different scenarios running through her head as to why the shorter girl would bother to call her at all.
