"Say, Teru, Akane. What's the meaning of a pocky kiss?"
Pens dropped and the sound of glass breaking sounded through the room before silence followed. Both boys froze at the question. Akane flushed red at the sudden thought and began to fantasize about Aoi asking him the same question. Meanwhile Teru thought of how to actually answer.
"Well?"
Akane didn't even foster the question into his mind before he stood abruptly. Yumeko looked up from her position across the two boys.
She had heard the term earlier from some of the girls in class and had gotten curious. It wasn't a term she had heard before this day and while she was slowly becoming more accustomed to human terms used outside of the Minamoto home, some terms were still quite... foreign to the vampire. Although reading books did help, it's not like someone was about to rush in and tell her she was a halfling of the gods. Yeah, that'd be impossible.
Her ruby eyes stared down at Teru, with a small hopeful expression. She hoped he wouldn't just leave her hanging and gauging from his ever moving gaze away from the paperwork and towards the door, she would probably not get her answer soon.
Sighing, the vampire stood. She grabbed her now closed book and a stack of paper. "I have to return this to the library and give these back to Tsuchigomori-sensei. However, when I come back I do want an answer."
As quickly as the vampire posed the previous question when she had left. Teru sighed unknowingly in relief. A pocky kiss. What were the students in her class teaching her?
Teru glanced at the calendar in the room, right today was that day. Hopefully she got her answer before she asked again. Teru wasn't opposed to tell her the definition and though it was quite cute to see her pout at his lack of answer, he wasn't sure if would be able to satisfy her curiosity with a simple worded answer.
Yumeko walked down the hall, book and papers in front of her. She politely greeted a teacher who walked down the same path before going into a separate hall. Most students were either outside or in a room with their clubs.
The vampire yawned suddenly, feeling sleep began to creep up on her. It wasn't late afternoon yet she was already starting to feel her energy levels drop.
"Oh! Nee-chan! Wait up!" There was only one student who would call her like that. Kou raced down the hall, ignoring Yumeko's chides of not running in the hall.
"Nee-chan I thought you and Teru-nii were gonna be in the student council room late. Are you running errands or something." His smile really could brighten up the room. The vampire nodded, "Something like that."
The two walked further, with Kou animatedly talking about something they did during science. "And then it practically went-" Yumeko nodded every so often to show she was listening, asking small questions here and there for the younger boy to continue rambling off.
