One Look

Maki rolled her eyes, witnessing yet another "Nico Nico Nii" from a certain raven haired girl as her cheeks flushed.

She quickly looked away, distracting herself by talking with Umi.

Nico looked over Rin's shoulder to sneak a peek at Maki, slightly annoyed that the red head wasn't paying any attention to her.

~~~

"Did you guys know that A-RISE-" Hanayo began raving about their frenimies.

Maki took this opportunity to glance again at Nico, who was surprisingly already looking at her.

"Don't look at me." Maki said with disgust.

"You were looking at me!" Nico defended.

"If I did, it would only be because you looked at me first!" Maki blushed.

"Ha! So you admit you were looking at me!" Nico's face flushed a soft pink.

"I think I can settle this." Nozomi stepped up with a smirk, resting a tarot card against her forehead.

"I recorded the two of you at practice this week." Nozomi snickered.

"I-Isn't that an invasion of privacy, Nozomi?" Kotori asked timidly, Hanayo nodding in agreement.

Nozomi ignored them, connecting her video camera to the club room computer.

~~~

The screen showed a short clip of Maki pausing from her stretches, looking over to Nico with a red face.

Video Maki lost balance and fell to the ground.

The next clip showed Nico seemingly taking a sip of water, but when the camera pivoted, it revealed that Maki was standing in the direction Nico had been looking.

Another clip showed Maki twirling some hair, moving her arms to cross over her chest with a huff as Nico walked passed.

After Nico passed, however, video Maki smiled broadly, her cheeks flushing hot pink.

The final clip showed Nico squatting beside her bag, pretending to rummage around while secretly checking her hair and make up in a compact mirror.

Past Nico then quickly spun around, prancing over to Rin and Hanayo while keeping her eyes glued to Maki.

~~~

"Looks like you both looked at each other." Eli commented.

Maki twirled a strand of hair, her eyes glued to the floor away from Nico and the others as her face was engulfed with a deep blush that spread to the tips of her ears and base of her neck.

Nico crossed her arms, facing the opposite direction of Maki and muttering angrily.

"I-I didn't say you could record me!" Maki and Nico turned to Nozomi and yelled in unison.

Nozomi chuckled, cocking an eyebrow at the two.

"But I solved your dilemma, didn't I?" Nozomi mused.

Maki flubbed for an answer, grunting in frustration as she was unable to make a valid argument.

"Well, I think it's time to head home. Want to grab some parfait, Elichika?" Nozomi seized Eli by the hand and darted out the door, the others filing out shortly after.

Maki glanced over at Nico, biting her lip.

"D-Do you... Want to walk home together?" Maki muttered.

"Huh?" Nico asked, having not heard her.

"W-Walk me home, please." Maki repeated, growing more embarrassed.

Nico tensed, blushing harder as she nodded her head.

"F-Fine. But only because I don't have anything to do today.." Nico agreed.

~~~

The pair walked to Maki's house in an awkward silence.

"S-Sorry I looked at you." Maki sighed.

"N-No, I-I looked first. I'm sorry." Nico admitted.

"This is so stupid. Why are we getting so worked up about this?" Maki questioned.

"I have no idea." Nico agreed with a giggle.

"Maki~Chan.." Nico said slowly.

Maki turned, feeling Nico press her hand against her cheek.

Her eyes widened as a dark blush settled her face, holding her breath as Nico inched closer.

"Got it." Nico pulled away.

"H-Huh?" Maki blinked.

"There was something on your cheek. I got it, though." Nico shrugged.

Maki stopped in her tracks, trying to calm her heart.

Nico glanced back, seeing Maki's flustered expression.

"What? Did you think I was going to kiss you or something~?" Nico teased.

Maki looked away, biting her lip.

S-She actually did! Nico's heart did a flip.

Nico stepped closer as Maki turned even more.

"Maki~Chan.." Nico called to her again.

Maki ignored her, feeling humiliated for allowing herself to think Nico was going to kiss her moments ago.

Nico huffed, grabbing Maki's chin and turning it to face her.

"W-What're you-?!" Maki asked, silenced by a finger to her lips.

"J-Just shut it, baka!" Nico said.

Nico stood on her toes, bringing their faces centimeters apart.

Maki closed her eyes, relaxing just a bit as she felt Nico's breath on her lips.

Nico kissed her, resting one hand against Maki's cheek as the other slung around her neck.

Maki grabbed Nico by the waist, pulling the older girl closer as she tilted her head to deepen it.

"Don't tell Nozomi." Nico warned, pulling away.

"Of course not." Maki agreed, her heart thrumming out of control.

They rounded the corner to Maki's house, pausing at the gateway.

"B-Bye, Maki~Chan." Nico waved.

"See you tommorow." Maki smiled softly.

"Yeah. See you tomorrow." Nico walked away.

Maki eyed her until Nico rounded a corner, vanishing from her line of vision.

Maki sighed, slipping passed the gate and into her house.

~~~

"I knew they liked each other!" Kotori whispered.

Nozomi smirked, holding out her fist as they bumped them together.

"Nico~Chi can't keep a secret from a crazed fangirl and someone with the power of the spirits." Nozomi shrugged.

"Huh?" Kotori tilted her head.

"She's bad at hiding her gay from us." Nozomi explained.

Kotori nodded in agreement.

The two walked towards their own homes, now having some video evidence of NicoMaki's existance.
