Moonlight Dances

Chapter 14: Say Yes

(This chapter is slightly rushed, so there's gonna be a time skip, no Ryushot, just platonic Ryuko and Nejire action. And I wrote this before I started writing so, you know this is rushed af.

I swear, this chapter took me an entire day.)

Mirio helped put everyone's bags in the car. Yuyu was strong and able to help out a bit, but Mirio got three bags in. Yuyu saw it as a game and got mad when she lost.

"I didn't expect Yuyu to have such a cute bag. You act so tough then your have a Hello Kitty bag." Mirio teased. Yuyu stuck her tongue out.

"Nejire sit back here, I'm braiding your hair." Kaoruko said. Nejire nodded, following her friend's orders. The drive seemed shorter somehow. It always feels like road trips to the place your going feels longer, then on the way back, it felt shorter.

Mirio was being a complete dad and jamming to the music. When Yuyu tried to change it, he changed it back and said "driver picks the music".

"YOU WANNA SAY SO." Nejire screamed along with the song. "Didn't even notice, nanananana, I bet you couldn't focus, you wanna say so." She sang the completely wrong lyrics. No one called her out because Nejire was precious and it was a harmless error.

Nejire felt like she was forgetting something. Like something really important. Dammit. Now she was thinking about it and she wouldn't stop thinking about it until she figured out what she forgot.

She had her hairdryer, her clothes, her swimsuit, and a few other things...

Fu-

Tamaki.

She actually forgot him. Now she felt horrible. She didn't even say bye. Damn. Now she felt like a bad friend. While the topic of Tamaki was on her mind, Taishiro gave his kids phones. Tamaki didn't? Maybe he didn't want one. That was probably the answer. He looked like one of those people who just don't want a phone for all sorts of reason. Privacy? Probably privacy.

"You ok? You've been quiet for a while." Mirio asked.

"Hm? I'm fine." Nejire said.

"Ya sure? Your favorite song came on and you didn't start screaming it. I had my phone prepared and everything."

"Sorry! I was just thinking of something." She was forgetting something else now. "Oh, Frick! I forgot to text my mom." She grumbled. Yuyu squinted her eyes.

"No cursing for the child." She said. Nejire stuck her tongue out and texted her mom.

The only thing her mom said was 'did you call Ryuko?"

"Well thanks for caring about my wellbeing mother." Nejire murmured. She didn't call her mother unless she was being sarcastic.

Wait, she didn't call Ryuko. She seriously texted Ryuko everyday and forgot to call her...

"I am so stupid, oh god." So, she texted Ryuko. It didn't make much sense for her not to call her herself, but it was Ryuko. She was stressed and it must've been important if she needed to call.

Bubbly Idiot: Mom said you needed to talk to me.

Dragon mum: we're dress shopping next week. I should've called, I know, I'm sorry.

Bubbly Idiot: it's fine, who else is going?"

Dragon mum: my bridal party, the ring bearer, and the flower girl. That's it.

Bubbly Idiot: okie dokie

Nejire felt bad for her. She was stressed and parents were telling her to stop coming to ballet classes so she could rest. At least her fiancé was home that day. Nejire has never met 'Shinya', but Ryuko seemed happy being with him, so she didn't mind it.
