missed messages | Ibuki x mikan

there she is

Ibuki wore her usual outfit hoping Mikan won't mind. The sunlight brushed her face, as a blush soon appeared on her cheeks. The thought of how Mikan looked, how her voice sounded like music to her ears and how she would hear that soon, was amazing to her. She hummed a quiet melody, fidgeting with her thumbs. Ibuki imagined Mikan as a human goddess. Like human Aphrodite.

"H-Hey! Are you Ibuki?" A shy voice calls out to her laced with a mix curiosity and paranoia.

Ibuki's eyes lit up as she turned around and saw a pale girl, blushing. Her dark purple hair cascaded down her back, strands of hair lifted by the wind. Ibuki's blush grew darker, her eyes widening, as she stared at the girl she thought to be stunning.

"Hey Mikan! This is Ibuki!" Ibuki assures her, adding a cheerful tone to her voice as she opens her arms for a hug, which Mikan reluctantly accepted.

"It's good to see you in p-person!" Mikan shyly looks away, her eyes flickering towards Ibuki. A smile tugged at Ibuki's lips, as she giggled in response.

They started having a conversation, discussing favourite characters, games, shows, anything. Giggles could be heard from the two girl's lively conversation. They talked for what seemed like hours, both excited they could finally meet.

"Ibuki wants us to meet at the saaame place again!
Buuut! This time at the end of the day! Okay?"

Soon, they parted ways, having to go to class. Ibuki couldn't focus. The whole time, she was focused on the thought of Mikan in her head, every time she tried to smother it, the thought would stay, lingering in her mind. Ibuki doodled hearts on her work, maybe just one... just one heart saying "M+I". As she doodled, a blush crawled up her neck.

She couldn't wait for the end of the day

<owo mikan pov time>

Mikan couldn't stop herself from blushing. She fidgeted with her thumbs and clicked her pen, probably annoying a few people there. The fragile nurse's corner of her lips quirked up, forming a smile. She couldn't stop thinking about Ibuki, and what she wanted to talk about. Maybe a Mikan was overthinking it. Ibuki probably just meant she wanted to talk, right?

Mikan was confused and didn't know what Ibuki meant, but for a strange reason, she found herself content with it.

<time skip to end of the day bc,,,,,,,, just bc>

Ibuki found herself playing with her hair, fidgeting with her thumbs and things alike, her eyes flickering to each side of her body, words forming in her head as she thought of what to say.

Ibuki stood in the place they agreed to meet, taking deep breaths as she waited for Mikan to arrive, imagining her pretty purple hair and her pretty face in her arms, her soft lips on hers. Ibuki giggled to herself, enjoying the thought.

The scenecore girl watched the clouds pass, weird shapes drifting into the distance. She saw a familiar pink haired boy holding hands with another boy, with ice cream looking hair. A soft smile tugged at her lips, happy for Souda.

The shark boy noticed Ibuki, his eyes lighting up in the process, speeding towards her, dragging the other boy along. He looked suprised by the sudden action, but quickly masked it with a calm expression.

"Ibuuuuuuukiiiii!" Souda called out to the girl. He smiled at Ibuki. "It feels like I haven't talked to you in like.. years! Alright, maybe the actual answer is a day or something, but still!"

"Oh and," He clinged onto the other boy's arm, looking up at him and smiling. "This is Gundham," Souda hesitates, Gundham glancing around him and nodding. "My boyfriend."
