It started off small, out of nowhere. Little things Sayori would notice about Natsuki that did things to her guts. The way she hid her smile behind a veil of disinterest when she shared her food, the way she failed to hide her enthusiasm when anyone took an interest in her manga, just everything about her when she was mad, Sayori didn’t like seeing her upset of course but there was something about her being angry that just made her way more adorable. Sayori thought hard on this, this wasn’t a normal way to think about a friend. A friend doesn't wonder if her friend knows how cute her voice is. Surely this was weird, she wasn’t even…

“Am I gay?”

She asked aloud. The boy whose room she was in, Emcie, her best friend and neighbor since before they could walk, paused the video game he was playing and whipped around.

“Say, what the fuck are you talking about?”

He asked, his voice could surely be heard a county away, lord, she really wished his parents kept him in speech therapy when they were little. “Just answer the question!” she shot back, he raised his hands and quickly shrugged, “How would I know that!?” he responded, sounding almost offended as he turned back around and unpaused the game. “You’re ‘arrow romantic’ or something right?” she asked, “That’s a flavor of gay, don’t you have like, gaydar??” she added. Emcie sighed, “The chance of me humoring you drops more with every word.” he groaned, “PLeASeeeeEE!” Sayori whined, he paused the game again and adjusted himself to sit facing her. “Fine, you big baby.” he cracked his neck. “Are you into women?” he asked flatly, Sayori scoffed and then choked on a sigh, “I don’t know! That’s what I’m trying to figure out!” she poked his stomach and he grunted. “Okay,” he sighed, “What is making you ask? That might help.” he asked, Sayori searched for the right words for a moment. “I think I’m getting a crush, on a girl.” she said as she looked down, was that shame she felt? Don’t worry about it, put that in a bottle and file it away for later. “Sounds like you’re probably gay then, good talk, I’m gonna go get a snack now.” he replied as he stood up, Sayori grabbed his shirt, “You can pig out in a minute! I wasn’t finished!” she screeched. He sighed hard, “Go on.” he encouraged, Sayori took a deep breath. “I don’t know, I’ve never thought about a girl like this before, like ever. But she’s just so.. Cute.” she finished, “Mhm.” Emcie acknowledged that he was listening, “I’m a little freaked out about it.” she finished in a small voice. Emcie nodded, “Well if it means anything, I don’t give a fuck.” he said, clearly trying to sound comforting. Sayori breathed a small laugh through her nose, “Thanks, I guess.”

As Sayori prepared herself for school, late as usual, she thought about the two classes she shared with Natsuki, would she be able to focus? Not that she usually did, of course she would, this didn’t change anything. She has a crush on a friend, big whoop, join the club, millions of people are in the same boat, she'd be fine, it’ll go away.

She couldn’t focus. She just stared, Natsuki sat diagonally ahead of her on her right, and she just couldn’t take her eyes off. The way she kept her hair up was nice, she wondered how long it takes to put up like that. She wanted to see her put it up. She wanted to see her with it down. FUCK, STOP. A pretty girl was not going to be the reason she failed science, she can do that fine on her own thank you very much!. . . She always smells like that dollar store birthday cake perfume.. Godamnit! Pay attention!

Math, a vile word, should be a slur in Sayori’s opinion, she didn’t know why she complained about it so much, truthfully it was one of the subjects she was better at. You wouldn’t catch her complaining right now though, she sat at the same long desk as Natsuki in this class. She listened to her struggling for a moment before ‘very subtly’ sliding her finished sheet in her direction, Natsuki suppressed a laugh.

“I’m not that desperate.”

She said through a smile, ow, okay she deserved that, she’d earned the airhead reputation she had. “But I’m good at math!” she whispered, “Dude, I know. I’m not dissing you, I’m not desperate enough to cheat with the teacher looking right at us.” Natsuki whispered back. Sayori’s heart ran cold, she glanced to the front of the room, just as Natsuki warned their teacher was staring right at them behind his wiry spectacles, his plump soft face furrowed into an expression of disappointment. Sayori looked down at her paper, shame welling in her stomach hot soup as she listened to Natsuki suppress a giggle, god she hated how much she enjoyed causing that sound. Next was lunch, that she could do. As she left the classroom, trying not to acknowledge the look on the teacher’s face as she did. Natsuki stopped her right as she got into the hallway. “Yo, Sayori, hold on.” she stopped stiff, “Yuri texted me that she’s going home for lunch or whatever, you wanna sit with me? I’ll be bored to death by myself.” Natsuki asked, yes! Yes, yes, YES!! “Sure I’d love to.” Sayori replied calmly.

Natsuki was actively leading her away from the lunch room, OoOoO how scandalous- STOP THAT. They stood together at the bottom of the north stairwell by the vending machines. Oh, is this where she disappears to at lunch? “You want a chocolate bar?” Natsuki asked, standing in front of the vending machine. “Oh I can pay for it one sec-” Sayori started but Natsuki cut her off, “You can but you won’t.” as she said it, the candy bar clunked to the bottom of the machine and was immediately tossed at Sayori’s chest; she barely caught it after fumbling twice. “Hey! I was gonna get it!” she squeaked, “Shame.” Natsuki said with a smirk as she passed her and sat down on the stairs. Oh Sayori’s heart jumped, wow that’s new. As they sat on the steps Sayori couldn’t help but look at her, good lord she was pretty, she wondered if she thought she was pretty too. “What?” Natsuki asked, side eyeing her, Sayori breathed in sharply, “Uh,” the words left her mouth before she could stop them. “You wanna hang out at my house tonight?” she could feel herself turning red, thankfully Natsuki wasn’t looking. “Sure, I got nothing better to do, you mean like staying over or just hanging out for a few hours?” she asked, Sayori was practically on fire. “Uh, the first one..” she replied sheepishly. “Cool…” Natsuki trailed off, “You good?” she asked, “Yep! say, is this where you and Yuri usually eat?” an excellent distraction if Sayori could say so herself, genius. “Yep.” Natsuki popped her lips, “That’s cool.”
