~Iroha's POV~
~Today's the day I go home... and with today being the last day of break I gotta get ready for school. The worst place in mankind. Not cause I'm fighting, but cause I gotta deal with homophobic idiots.~ "Alright... I'm ready to go!" I head out of the changing room to meet Yachiyo-San."Tada! What do you think? I know, it looks weird with the bandages wrapped, but it still looks good right?" She nods her head and glances over her shoulder. We walk together and stop at a cafe. "Wanna go here?" She asks flatly as I agree we head inside and take our seats. "You okay...? You've been acting kinda weird..." I rub the back of my neck in embarrassment and she studies the wrap on my wrist. "Yeah, I gotta help it on until who knows when. The doctors say that I'll end up going to physical therapy if the medication doesn't work." We sit in silence and for what seems like an eternity, someone breaks it.
"SHE'S ABOUT TO KILL HERSELF!" I turn around from the order counter and look at the girl with the knife. Slowly, I pace myself towards her. "You don't have to do this. I understand your position: life is hard hurting yourself feels like it's the only way. Heck, even doing whatever you can to mess yourself up is satisfying. However, if you give it up now, you won't have anyone to run to. Nobody to care for. It may seem like nobody cares about you, but they're trying their best." The girl starts crying and hugs me. "Not a hugger..." I mumble. We stay like this for about five minutes and she releases me. "Thank you... thank you so much... I should've known that life is worth living... it's just how I want to live it." The girl walks out of the cafe as I go and order the drinks. I come back with matcha tea in one hand and ice coffee in the other.
"Here. I know this is one of the things that cheer you up." She takes the cup and drinks it. Her lips form a tiny smile but continues drinking. "Thank you." She says warmly and I feel as if my heart is going to explode. ~My heart rate: WHY WE GOING SO FUCKING FAST?! However, my brain is all like: We stopped. We stopped though. And my expression leaves me with a face of WOAHH.~ Before I knew it, I almost started choking on an ice cube. "I'm... okay! Anyway, are you upset about going back to school?" I smirk and her cheeks puff. "No. I just don't feel like going now. Plus, I've got other things to worry about." "Like what? Are you worried about someone?" "Yeah. It's you Iroha." My cheeks start to burn as she puts her cup down and folds her arms. "Yeah.. so a couple of students told me you were getting into fights?" I start looking at the ground and the coffee starts shaking. I feel as if I could fall on my knees and she looks at me and sighs. "So I'm taking that as a Yes. Why didn't you say anything? I'm your girlfriend aren't I?" I nod my head and sip some more coffee. "Why are you fighting? Are you getting forced?" I drink more coffee and avert my gaze. ~I'm not telling you. You gotta guess.~ In the corner of my eye, I can see her getting more pissed and I can't help but smirk.
~Yachiyo's POV~
I'm starting to get pissed as she smirks. "Ok. We're playing that game aren't we?" "Hmph." ~Alrighty then...~ I grab her wrist and we head to the car. My nails dig into the steering wheel as we head home. I push her against the wall and she looks embarrassed. "Gonna tell me now?" "No." ~You did this to yourself...~ I peck her on the cheek and tickle her nose with mine as she jumps back. ~Well that was easy.~ "Fine. I get into fights because the girls who fight me are homophobic bitches! They treat me like shit cause I'm in a relationship with a girl!" She starts tearing up as I sigh. "And they're Magical Girls?" She nods her head and I put a hand to my head. "God... those homophobic girls..." "And the boys back me up in the corner and they start yelling in my ears until they start bleeding." I hold her close as she hugs me back. "We got school tomorrow." I hum and she puffs up her cheeks. "Let the moment last before I go back to hell."Hours pass as I head to the kitchen and Tsuruno sighs. "The cake's not done. It's missing something..." She walks to the refrigerator and gets a strawberry. "There we go!" "Where's Mifuyu?" "I'm right here!" "Jesus Christ!" She pops out from behind the pantry door and I fall to the wall. "You good Yachan?" I nod my head and go call Iroha as the others got the cake ready.
~Mifuyu's POV~
"3.... 2.... 1...! Welcome home!" We all stand around the couch and we laugh as she looks at the cake in shock. "Yeah we were trying to plan this for a while!" Ru clasps her hands together as I hug her from the back. "A welcome back party seemed like a good idea since the house seemed pretty empty without you here." I explain as Yachiyo goes to Iroha and kiss her. "Awww!" Tsuruno and I gush as Iroha puts up a middle finger. "Fuck you too. However, you know we're the greatest friends you could ask for." I laugh as Tsuruno holds my hand.
