'Till the Day I Die (A Love Live Sunshine Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

Third Person P.O.V.

- - - - - - Night of the Dance - - - - - -

Alten stood in front of Uranohoshi, patiently waiting for a certain mikan lover to show up. She held a mikan smoothie in one hand, and was sipping on another peach flavored one.

'She's late again'  Alten thought.

All of a sudden, an absolutely GORGEOUS girl runs up to meet Alten. Alten, being stunned by Chika's beauty, drops both smoothies.

"Ah! You dropped them!" Chika exclaims, looking up at Alten.

"I-I, um, well," Alten's words get caught in her throat as she stares down at the beauty in front of her.

"Are you okay? You're so red!" Chika grabs Alten's tie and gently pulls the tall girl down to her height to check her temperature. She places her forehead against Alten's. She pulls her head back after a moment and looks at her with a worried expression, saying that the third year felt a bit hot.

"Ah- no!" Alten grabs Chika's wrist.

"I'm fine," she insists.

Chika only looks at her confused before nodding and grabbing her arm as they walked into the school to enjoy the dance.

...Or not...

For starters, Chika ended up sitting at a table with her friends, which made Alten extremely uncomfortable (she decided if it made Chika happy, then she would put up with it). On a second note, one of the new workers the school just hired was staring at her. And it wasn't just staring, it was intent staring. This made Alten even more distressed. She wondered if this guy was a pervert of some sort.

Alten shifted in her seat. She could practically feel his eyes burning holes into the back of her head. She leaned down and placed her face against the side of Chika's in a loving way, in hopes that it would make the guy stop staring at her (hoping that he assumed it was a kiss).

The other girls around the table stare at her in shock. Alten just shrugs and nuzzles her nose against Chika's face, making the orange haired girl giggle in delight.

"Excuse me," all of the girls look up. Alten shivers as she sees the guy from earlier.

He smiles at the group, "Hello." He turns to look at Alten and holds a hand out to her, "Would you like to dance with me, little lady?"

Alten's eye twitches in irritation, "Okay, first off, hell no. Why would I want to dance with some creep whose been staring at me for the past half an hour? Second off, I'm not interested in men who are ten years older than me. Third off, I don't know what you want from me, but I'm only interested in one girl at this table. And fourth, I sure ain't ditching her for you. If you need to talk with me, then we can have a chat at school. However, tonight is Chika's night, and I plan on spoiling her and only her."

The green eyed man puts his hands up in submission, "I apologize if I disturbed you. I just needed to tell you something and I thought you may want to dance while I tell you."

"No. You can tell me at school."

"Very well then. I'll leave you be," he winks at Alten before walking off.

Alten growls a bit and wraps both of her arms around Chika's waist, "There's something strange about that guy. And he's creepy as hell. I'd rather be with Chika over him any day."

"Alten..," Chika trails off before hugging the taller girl tightly.

"I think that's the most I've ever heard you talk," Kanan comments.

"Yes! I agree," Mari adds.

Alten sighs, "You'll understand one day."

Rie places her hand on Alten's shoulder, "Alten, I'm telling you, It's not-"

Alten cuts her off, "Don't even try Rie! You know it's true! They even said it straight to my face!"

Alten stands up suddenly and intertwines her fingers with Chika's. She pulls her away from the table and onto the dance floor, where they swayed to the slow song currently playing. Rie watches as Alten huffs and rests her forehead against the top of Chika's head.

"So, what was that about?" Riko looks over at Rie.

The tall third year lets a soft sigh escape her lips as she wraps her arms around Ruby. She looks around at the expectant eyes on her.

"I..." she starts, "won't tell you. Alten should be the one to tell it. It's easier to understand her side if she tells it."

"What about your side?" You inquires.

"I do not deserve to be sympathized with. I'm not the bad guy either, but I was on the good side of the situation. I didn't understand her side until she explained it to me," Rie explains.

"Goodness, it sounds like you two went through quite a bit," Mari comments.

"Alten did, I didn't go through as much. Seriously, she'll tell the story thoroughly."

"And you won't?" Dia asks.

"I don't understand her side as much, and she was the one attacked, in a sense," Rie answers, putting "attacked" in air quotes.

"We should ask her, she may be fit to be a little demon," Yoshiko (Yohane) says. Hanamaru chops her head and tells her to stop.

"I'm sorry, Chika, I just got flustered," Alten mumbles against her head.

"It's alright Alten. But if you don't mind me asking.." Chika trails off until she hears a hum in response from the older girl.

"What happened in your past?"
