Miku let out a heavy sigh and took a deep puff off the cigarette on her fingers. The dark alley beside the cafe was almost a corner of escape for them. Trying to act cute and approachable mentally exhausted them most of the time. She passed it to Sakura who held it more awkwardly and took a light inhale.
"You still can't do it properly." Miku laughed.
"You need to teach me your mysterious ways." Sakura smiled.
"If any of our customers were to see us this way, they'd never come back again." Miku saying that with two cute pink buns on her head, a maid costume, star earrings and a cigarette on her hand was the strangest mismatch Sakura had seen for a while now.
"I never wanted this anyway." Sakura sighed as she let the smoke dissolve into her mouth.
"But you know how it is. Adult life is about living through these shitty days." Miku spoke as she dropped the cigarette on the ground and crushed it.
Sakura dabbed a little bit of cherry lipstick on her lips and cheeks and tossed her hair so it looked more fluffy. Miku tightened her buns and quickly put on some lipstick.
"Sakura?"
She hesitated as she heard a familiar calling.
