"Tsundere"

---

*Maki's POV*

I woke up to the feeling of someone hugging me. I opened my eyes, to see Nico, cuddling my elbow. I felt my face heating and started to wonder why she was in my room, until I remembered yesterday.

That's right.. The rain didn't stop so we just stayed at my place..

I got up only to be pulled back down by Nico.

"Please don't hurt me.. Don't hurt me like you did last time.." She started gripping my hand harder, to the point where it actually started to hurt. I flinched at the sudden pain she thrusted upon me but slowly moved on to what she was mumbling about. I smiled as I tried to wake Nico up.

"Nico.. Time to wake up.." I shook her elbow, using my most gentlest voice I've ever done.

"Nnghh.. What time is it..?" Nico groaned. Maybe she doesn't like mornings?

"It's 9am," I answered. Her eyes suddenly filled with fear and worry.

"Shouldn't we be at school?" Nico panicked.

"Relax. It's only Saturday," I smiled, amused at her reaction.

"Phew.." Nico made a sigh of relief, "So, should we continue writing the lyr-"

*BEEP*

Nico looked towards the direction from where the sound came from. It was just her phone.

*Nico's POV*

{New message from Nozomi}

Nozomi: Hey Nicocchi. Can I come over to your place? I need to talk to your father about something.

Nico is typing...

Nico: But I'm at Maki's place right now. I can walk you to my house but I won't be with you for long, Maki and I are writing our lyrics.

Nozomi: I see. Don't do anything bad while I'm gone~

I flushed at her last message, before being interrupted by Maki who seemed rather.. jealous.

"Sorry Maki. I need to bring Nozomi to my house because she needs to talk with my father. Is that alright?" I asked, "Don't worry, it won't be long."

"Yeah, whatever.." Maki pouted and I giggled.

It was a simple walk. It didn't take long for us to reach there. Before I knew it, I was already back at Maki's house. I rang the doorbell but it seemed that Maki was already prepared for my return, as the gates swung open immediately.

*Nozomi's POV*

I knocked on the door and waited several seconds until someone opened the door.

"Who are you?" He eyed me carefully, as if he found me suspicious.

"Hello. I'm Nozomi Tojo, classmate of Nico Yazawa. I'm here to speak to Mr Yazawa. Is that alright?" I asked. He let some of his guard down after hearing that I was her classmate.

"Come in," He invited me in before sitting down on the sofa, "What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

"It's about Nico." I said, dead serious.
