Operation Cupid! [A Bandori Fanfic]

Discussions

                 Band rehearsal had just finished, and Himari was already dragging Tsugu and Tomoe out by their ears. One could tell she was both excited and nervous that she of all people had received a love letter from someone!

                Himari skipped along, with the latter two trailing a bit behind. When their destination was in sight, she broke out into a sprint. Tomoe let out a soft grumble, picking up her pace as well. Tsugu gave a soft smile as she watched her two bandmates rush ahead, opting to keep her snail pace rather than catching up. She directed her gaze sky-bound, looking at the sky's faint afterglow... It was nostalgic not only for her but for the rest of their band. Tsugu returned her sightline to where she thought Tomoe and Himari were, only to learn that they already had entered her family's cafe. Tsugu let out a small chuckle, finally speeding up to head inside as well.

     "Okay, so I have it narrowed down to 7 people who could be my secret cupid," Himari states, setting the envelope on the table in front of all three of them. She then slides a torn-out piece of paper from her school bag, setting it down as well. There were 7 names neatly written out. Tomoe and Tsugu, with a combined team effort, could only identify 3/7 of the names Himari had written down, two of them being from other bands they would occasionally perform with.

"Himari, not to be rude, but what makes you think that these people like you?" Tomoe asked, leaning her elbow on the table. Himari was quick to give a reply, as usual.

"Well, some of these people are our classmates that we see often! If I kept seeing someone that had caught my eye, I would confess!"

"Himari, Tomoe is right," Tsugu spoke up, "It's not good to charge into this so blindly! What if you get hurt if they're not the right person?"

"Tsugu, as they always said, curiosity didn't kill the cat!" Himari beams as Tomoe and Tsugu look at each other, silently deciding who would be the one to tell her that she had messed up the phrase.

               After a bit more chatter, which was mostly arguing about what Himari should do in this situation, she piped up with the final verdict.

"I'll slip letters into the lockers of who I think it may be. If it's someone who doesn't attend our school, I'll find someone else to conspicuously deliver the letters for me!"

"I still think it's a bad idea, but if it'll make you happy, then I guess we'll just go along with it," said Tomoe, shifting her elbow's position upon the tabletop.

          Little did they know that the next week would bring both tears and joy to many people, specifically Uehara Himari.

I'm sorry about the lack of updates, I've had a lot of other work, as well as a newly-broken finger that limits my typing capabilities. Thank you for enjoying my writing nonetheless, and I hope you will continue enjoying "Operation: Cupid"!
