YouRiko One-Shots

Taller

A/N: Is Riko's dog, Prelude, a boy or a girl? I can't remember lmao. Also I think this is my favorite one-shot I've written so far. I thought of it at work and it made me laugh so of course I had to write it but then it turned cute and now I love it. Anyways, Yousoro and out (๑>◡╹)ゞ !

You's hand slammed by the right side of Riko's head, softly letting her red hair flow over her fingers as she closed the distance between them. Softly looking into her eyes, You had her right where she wanted her. She had practiced her confession a multitude of times, it just had to work at this point. Mustering up in her most suave voice she could, You lowered her pitch as she spoke out,

"Riko, the light of my life, would you please accompany me to a date this Friday after our Aqours performance. It'll be just me, you, and the moon to guide us through our night."

Riko smiled, stifling a giggle as she patted You's fluffy hair. It was the 14th time that You had tried this exact situation. Each time was more adorable to her. Her small friend trying to be cool was a sight to see, especially when she attempted to lower her voice. You had a far too high tone to ever sound sultry.

"You, would you please stop messing around. The bus is going to be here any moment."

Riko walked away from You's attempt at trapping her into a corner. She gracefully strutted towards the bus stop, keeping an eye out for anyone around who might have seen what had just happened. The smaller girl dropped her hand to her side before running along side Riko,

"Oh come on, Riko! What is it going to take for you to realize I'm not joking. I'm super serious about this!"

Riko turned on her heels. She couldn't deny that You was cute, anyone in the world could agree with that. However, she just didn't feel You took what she was doing seriously. Dating was a big thing and it could ruin their friendship if things turned sour. While a deep part of her wanted to agree just to see how You would treat her for the night, she had to think rationally. She wanted You by her side for a long time down the road and she knew just how to do that. You could literally do anything, however there was one thing Riko was sure she had her beat on.

"I'll tell you what you, I'll go on a date with you when you're just a little taller."

You tilted her head, lost at the idea of that being a reason for them to finally go one a date.

"What kind of compromise is that? You won't date me because I'm shorter than you? There isn't anything else I can do to change your mind? Like say anything I can actually, physically or possibly, do?"

Riko giggled at You's attempt to make her rethink her decision,

"I promise later down the road you'll see the real reason, but for now I think this will be a good starting point you can go off of."

You looked down at the floor in thought of just what Riko was talking about. While she didn't know why Riko didn't take her seriously, she was going to do what she could while she still had time to grow.

"Fine, I won't give up. You'll see!"

Riko couldn't help but laugh at that memory. She was taking a sip of tea at a local bakery shop, slowly thinking back to her high school days. Chika and You were supposed to meet with her soon but like always, they most likely got side-tracked on the way there. While each of them had gotten older and their trio group chat had long become dead after each of their schedules became so busy, it was a no brainer that Chika decided now was the perfect time to start it back up. It was soon going to be almost several years since they had last met. After graduation they each went their separate ways, Riko going back to Tokyo, Chika beginning the process to take over her family's Inn, and You was on the first ship with her father across the seas.
