I Don't Know What To Call This

"Secret sharing time!"

Emi glanced at Kira with an uncertain look in her eyes.

"We're roommates!" Kira defended. "We need to know about each other."

"I thought we did know about each other."

"Barely."

"What exactly did you want to know?"

"What was your childhood like? Who was your first crush? Who's your idol? What's your goal in life? What—"

"My childhood was riddled with tragedy and death. My first crush was murdered in front of me. I don't have a living idol and my goal in life is to destroy those who brought misery to my life."

Kira blinked a couple times before her mouth flew open.

"Uh...I'm sorry."

"Is there anything else you wish to know?"

"What's the happiest memory you have?"

Emi smiled, saying that her fondest memory was the first time she cast a spell. She expressed the happiness that she felt when she told the story of how she cast her Turbinis spell on top of a mountain.

"It wasn't powerful," Emi laughed. "In fact I wasn't able to hold the spell at all. It was more like a light breeze if anything."

Kira nodded before crawling over to Emi and giving her a tight hug.

"I'm really sorry. I shouldn't push you for information like that."

Emi returned the hug and promised that she didn't mind. She then raised her brow at the purple haired wizard.

"What?"

"It's your turn."

"Oh, um. Let's see," Kira looked up in through as she held his head. "My childhood was relatively normal before my brother died. It was a weird transition afterwards. My first crush was one of my brother's friends. It was super awkward when we were little." Kira laughed before continuing, "My idol is Makarov Dreyar, but you probably already knew that. He's so awesome! I would love to meet him one day. My goal? Probably to become stronger."

"Why does she want to meet the old man so bad?"

Sting and Emi laughed before saying that she grew up with her brother always saying how powerful of a wizard he was. She turned to Makarov and continued explaining.

"She would always say that she wanted to surpass you, but she always assured us that you were so much stronger than her that she wouldn't really get there."

"I'm really glad I met you, Emi."

Emi looked up surprised.

"I mean I don't know what I would be doing without you. I would've probably killed Sting by now and Yame would probably be, well..."

"Typical Yame?"

Kira rubbed the back of her head before laughing quietly. They both sat in silence for a minute before Kira pulled Emi up and pulled her into the kitchen.

"Anyways, I made something for you and I really want you to give me feedback on it."

Kira set an apple pie in front of her roommate and told her to take a piece. Emi's eyes lit up and quickly grabbed a fork and shoveled the pie in her mouth. Kira laughed hysterically as she watched her usually stoic friend have sparkling eyes.
