Assault Lily: New Chapter — "At the Seeds' Frontier" | "When the Bugle Blooms"

This upcoming stage play in December is Assault Lily's first double feature.

The official website (in Japanese of course) is here.

"When the Bugle Blooms" — Oshima Offshore Nest Investigation Team chapter

TL Note: Bugles are a kind of flower, sometimes considered a weed. This specific species, Ajuga decumbens ("kiransou" in Japanese), is not well known outside Asia.

After four Huge Nests suddenly appear near the island of Izu Oshima, the Gardens of Tokyo decide to secretly assemble an "Oshima Offshore Nest Investigation Team" to simultaneously destroy the Nests and investigate a closed GEHENA research facility on Oshima, which they suspect relates to the recent sightings of abnormal Huge in the Tokyo area.

[taeyamayang]

hi pea! I’d like to send in a matchup request for the 365 days event please! if it’s ok, I’d like to request all 3 fandoms please!

my pronouns are she/they, and I have no gender preference. I’m an ESTP 7w8. my personality is pretty friendly and outgoing, and I love hosting small events with friends. I’m bubbly and chatty albeit very sarcastic and with a teasing sense of humor. I’m very easygoing and enjoy exploring places at random. it takes me a while to be vulnerable with people, and I only ever cry or ramble about liking someone to people I fully trust. I’m a bit prideful and also tend to deny having crushes, yet I’m also dense as a brick and can’t tell if people like me. I’m also prideful about my personal style. I’m a bit touchy and clingy when tired as well. my love languages are also quality time and physical touch.

I’m 4’11” with curly brown hair and brown eyes. my hair is shoulder-length and has reddish highlights. I like to describe my style as “I got 3 looks and that’s it: an ai yazawa character, dark academia, or terminally overdressed”. I also have a tattoo of a hand pouring coffee into a mug with a coffee pot above my right hip and a Dali painting called a couple with their head in the clouds that says I love you in russian on my left rib.

some of my interests include fashion, origami, indie and alt rock music, travelling, and baking. I adore vintage shopping and visiting art museums as well. some of my other hobbies include doing puzzles and diamond paint-by-number art.

some characters I kin include: nakamura rio (assassination classroom), faye valentine (cowboy bebop), tendou satori (haikyuu)

thank you so much and have an amazing day!

thank you for joining the event! i loooove your tatts and your curls sound gorgeous! i bet you're the type to get a second look :) therefore,

in haikyuu i pair you with:

Asahi Azumane: a giant fluff ball who's love language is looking out for the well-being of others. but srsly, i'm crazy about your height difference gsndhsd i think you two will look good together. i honestly feel like ice cream dates, hand holding, museum dates, and etc. will fit your vibes as a couple.

in jujutsu kaisen:

Yuuji Itadori: i'm going with my assumption/opinion that i think you're best with someone who's kind and caring by nature. in contrast to asahi, yuuji can withstand mentally draining challenges and is more out going. hence, i think yuuji is the best for you if you want to come out of your comfort zone. being with him doesn't feel like you have to constantly prove yourself, yuuji will make you feel valued yet at the same time motivated to become a better version of yourself.

finally, in tokyo revengers:

Draken: damn, i feel like i paired you with the softest boys from each series lmao. anyhow, i think you and draken will click right away. draken is the type to slowly build a relationship based on trust. it may be hard to get to know what he is thinking (since he is a bit closed-off when it comes to his thoughts) he will make you feel loved through quality time. i hc draken as the type to give love through spending time with the person they love or to pull an effort for them. sunset by the city shore could be your favorite date spot with him or perhaps the tattoo shop near his place could be too! ;)

Tango For Two

NicoMaki, Love Live, 5.1K, 1/1

Summary: The 'Round and 'Round, Yazawa Nico's long term hangout and current employer, has a new regular, the redheaded and reclusive Nishikino Maki. Can an interest in dance bring them together?

Tango For Two

Yazawa Nico LOVED her job. She’d been hanging out at ‘Round and ‘Round, on the outskirts of Evanston, since middle school, visiting often, initially with her Dad, both happily absorbed in the jazz to J-pop range of rarities and the owner’s willingness to talk music, any genre, on slow afternoons. In all of Chicagoland, it was the only store that stocked both a museum worthy collection of affordable vintage vinyl and an influencer’s envy array of K-pop collectibles. Nico’s junior year in high school, she joined the staff as a CounterDJ, and now, halfway through her dance degree at Northwestern, she still looked forward to the evening and afternoons spent behind the burnished wood counters. Headlining the national touring company of a musical is the only thing Nico could imagine taking her away from this haven.

Today was a slow day. Summer heat magnified by asphalt kept people off the streets and in air conditioning. Nico had a lazy summer day K-pop playlist going and a just opened can of sugary icy caffeinated froth.

The door opened, dangling chimes melodious. Nico glanced up to watch a tall redhead enter, dressed for the weather in short short khaki shorts and a lilac linen oxford with rolled up sleeves. A surprisingly girly sunhat with a broad brim completed the outfit. Tilting back the brim to reveal lovely amethyst eyes, the woman glanced furtively around, then approached the counter, eyes flicking side to side nervously.

“Do…do you have listening rooms?” Her words were a soft murmur Nico couldn’t understand.

Nico paused the playlist. “Hi!” Nico smiled, “Welcome to the cool. What can Nico get you?” Leaning forward, Nico managed to keep Red’s glance for multiple seconds and dared her signature gesture, hands to her temple, busting out the toothiest, gleamiest Nico glamor grin. “Nico Nico Ni.”

Red stared, mouth a little open. Then she shook herself, “What’s that? I don’t get it.”

“Nico’s signature gesture. Pop and lock and Nico Ni.” Nico demonstrated. Still no recognition. “Dance stuff. Nico is a dancer.”

“Oh.” A nod, more eye contact. Nico had never seen any one with eyes holding such a lovely softness. Nico got the sense that Red felt less out of place in this music rabbit hole she’d chosen to enter. “Do you have listening booths? Your website” Red flashed her phone at Nico who recognized the spinning purple crystal vinyl of their homepage.

“Yeah, sure in the back. What do you want to listen to?”

“Is there a charge?” Red had her wallet out. Designer.

“Nah.Not for the booths.” Nico waved off the offered card, “Buy a drink if you get thirsty or an album if you like one. Nico doesn’t mind having company. What’s your flavor?”

“For soda? I’m not thirsty.”

“Nah,” Nico laughed, “Music genre.” Given how out of touch this buttoned up beauty seemed to be, Nico was betting on classical or jazz.

“Tango.”

Nico was surprised. “Tango? The dance?” Nico put her arms out as if she were holding a partner and did a couple quick steps and twists.

Red nodded, twisting a curl of hair that had dropped next to her ear.

Seemed like more of a club thing to Nico. Some bars had tango nights.

“It’s for composing, not dancing.” The sunhat was now on the counter, revealing a tousled mess of humidity curls resembling bedhead more than any active hair style choice.

That made more sense to Nico. “Oh, you’re a music student. Nice. NU?”

Red nodded.

“Nico’s not taking summer classes but I’m in the dance program there. Hey, Wildcat.”

Red’s attention had shifted, taking in the rest of the store. Nico had lost her audience. “Tango’s in the back, under that Rio airline ad with the two women in swimsuits.” Nico liked the ad. She wouldn’t mind more summer beach time, especially with an attractive companion. Made for spicy slow sultry sunny afternoon daydreams. “The booths are to the right. What’s your name so Nico can mark yours?”

“Maki.”

“Okay, Maki. Nico’s here ‘til 9. Knock yourself out.”

Earnest nod, shy smile, and as Maki the redhead fast walking to the South American section, one of Nico’s regulars came in. Time to talk T-ara post breakup news.

###

The Redhead…Maki, had shown up again, nodded at Nico over the line of people at the counter, and headed right back to the tango section, shutting herself in the same booth. Nico had left her name chalked on. When Maki had left last night, right before closing, she hadn’t seemed satisfied.

Currently, ‘Round and ‘Round was in Friday afternoon hectic mode, people’s paychecks landing in their accounts, then coming in to pick up something to impress a date or add to their stash. After a long string of customers, half with international preorders, Nico closed her eyes for a moment to recover. When she opened them, Maki, in a gray tank top, black biking shorts, and an open floral linen shirt stood politely in front of her. Nico enjoyed the view for a moment.

“Busy day?”

Nico shrugged, “Regular Friday.”

“Oh.”

Maki put a box on the counter. The most expensive set of headphones they carried. Designer.

“Too noisy?”

Maki grimaced. “A little. It’s messing with my concentration.”

“You can borrow Nico’s.” Nico reached back to her cubby.

“No thanks.” Maki swiped her card, “Can I leave them here?”

“Sure.” Nico wrote Maki’s name on a piece of tape, sticking it over an open cubby, “Just drop ‘em with Nico when you’re done.”

A smile, “Thanks.” Maki still stood there, box in front of her.”

“Want Nico to unbox them for you? There’s a trick.”

“Sure.”

Maki watched as Nico opened the six flaps on each side, sliding out tabs, her hands working with a quick sureness.

“So haven’t cracked the tango yet? Nico’s sure you’ll get it.”

Maki, face slightly flushed, grabbed the headphones, ducking back to her booth.

As the door closed, Nico tossed the box into recycling, “You could have said, “Thanks, Nico.””

Nico stared at her phone, a message from the beginning of her shift still blinking at her. She typed a reply to her fellow CounterDJ. “Hey, Loobe, I’ll take your Saturday shift after all. Nico’s a saint.”

###

Saturday, Maki arrived earlier, which was fine with Nico as her filler shift hours went from 11 to 6, with the Boss in to close.

“Hi Maki. Nico’s always glad to see you. Here’s your gear.” Nico handed over Maki’s headphones with a grin.

Maki accepted her headset, but instead of rushing back to find albums, she hesitated. And yawned. Tall adults should not be that tiny kitten adorable, Nico decided.

“Need some caffeine?”

“You have hot coffee?” Maki seemed surprised, pleasantly.

That wasn’t Nico’s choice for a summer drink. “Sorry, no. We have like 20 different energy drinks in the mini fridge, cold coffees, and cokes. But there’s a coffeeshop down the block. Nico’ll let you sneak it in.”

“Oh. I’m okay.” Maki retreated to the tango albums, shy again. Nico tapped the counter, frustrated. Maki seemed to have been about to ask a question, but somehow Nico had discouraged that. Maki still hesitated around Nico. With some people, by the end of a shift or visit, it was like they were old friends on their return. With Maki, Nico kept stepping backwards into awkwardness.

###

On her break, Nico fast walked down the block, picked up a coffee to go, then knocked on the door of what she’d come to think of as Maki’s booth.

Maki glanced up, frozen, headphones tight to her ears, but after a minute waved Nico in.

“Here you go.” Nico placed the cup carefully, “Nico figures you take your coffee brisk and bitter.”

Surprisingly, Maki giggled and twisted a tangle of hair.

“You seemed like you had something to ask Nico earlier?”

Maki had the coffee in her hands. She paused, blinking.

“Nico is ready with all the answers.”

Nico thought if she kept sweeping forward with boldness, there would be no hesitations for awkwardness to skip the track of their conversation.

Maki sipped, “You’re a dancer, right?”

“Yep. Nico is the number one dancer in the universe.”

“So you know how to tango?”

Nico should have expected that question, but it still caught her off beat, flat footed. Maki, for once, was paying full attention to Nico. So Nico shifted into an even higher gear, her voice shrill.

“Of course Nico can tango. Nico can tango from here to Buenos Aires, blindfolded, in high heels, backwards, like Ginger Rogers and Juan Carlos Copes had a baby…”

“Is there a book?”

“Huh?”

Maki put her cup down, “A book I can read to learn about the tango.”

“You don’t need a book. You can’t learn dance from a book. You have Nico. Nico can show you.”

Maki fidgeted with the headphones laying against her neck, frowning.

“Nico can help. Dance is what Nico does best.” Nico did a quick twirl, then raised both hands, palms out, her Nico-est smile at amped up to its highest charm.

“Here?” Maki glanced nervously at the closed confines of the booth, barely fitting two armchairs.

Nico dropped into the second chair, “Nah, Nico has a friend who bartends downtown. We can use the club’s private room.”

“Tonight?” Maki’s voice trembled.

Nico could surely do a quick internet tutorial. “Sure.” Nico was impressed by how calm she sounded.

“Oh no.”A quick check of her phone, then Maki blinked at Nico, “I have dinner with my parents tonight. Sorry. Tomorrow?”

Sunday was Yazawa sibling day, but Nico could show up early, make breakfast, and tell her siblings, truthfully, she had a dance class to teach. “Nico has family brunch in the morning, but we could meet in the afternoon. The club will be quieter,”

Maki seemed relieved at that. “Tomorrow, then.”

“Give Nico your number and I’ll text you the address and time. Or we could meet here…”

“What’s your cell?” Maki didn’t look up from her phone, but her agile fingers typing in Nico’s name and number worked just as well as Nico’s suggestion. Then Maki put the headphones back up. Which was fine, though slightly rude. But Nico had videos to search. And her break was over ten minutes ago.

###

Nico glanced around the airy room, disco ball hanging center, specks of mica glinting like glitter across the dance floor.

“Nico approves.”

Ayase Eli, super summer casual in a sweeping white shirt over denim shorts, nodded. “It’s for private parties, Lights are on a dimmer board, there’s some couches…”

“Nico is not having an orgy.” Nico circled the dance floor. “Where’s the sound system?”

“Over here, I think.” Eli had found an alcove. “Nozomi’s on her dinner soon.”

“Nico wants to be done before that.”

The manager had given Nico the Bluetooth password. Nico linked her phone and her playlist started. Ignoring Eli, Nico stood under the disco ball, arms out, holding air in what seemed to be an empty embrace. A remix of “Sway” started, Eli noticing a distinctive change in the usual rhythm. Nico took a very confident step forward but then slid into confusion. A tango rhythm. Eli could hear it now.

“You’re learning to tango?”

“Nico is buffing Nico’s expertise.”

Eli leaned on the bar, “Just follow their lead.”

Nico’s reply was insistent and sharp,“Nico always leads.”

This was intriguing. Eli couldn’t tamp down her curiosity. “Who are you practicing for?”

“Nunya.” Nico snapped her fingers.

“C’mon. Nico. I never get gossip before Nozomi. This is huge.”

Nico stopped, hands on hips, glaring at her unwanted audience. “Stop distracting Nico.”

“I can help.” Eli stepped on to the dance floor.

“How?”

“Practice partner.” With a sly grin, Eli presented herself to Nico.

Another tango began to play. Nico put one hand on Eli’s waist, her other palm to Eli’s palm, and then after four beats of squaring up into a dramatic pose, Nico led Eli to the right, flowing with the music across the dance floor. It was easier than Nico had anticipated, Eli responding to the slightest change of weight, direction, or music.

“She’s a music student at NU.” Nico released Eli for a fan move, right hands still clasped together. Eli rolled back in, Nico held the pose for a moment, then stepped back with a bow, “Thanks for the dance.”

Eli bounced, “That was fun. But you’ll have to be more definite with your music major.”

Nico hopped up on a stool, pausing the playlist. “What do you mean?”

“It’ll probably be easiest for her to pick up changes from the music. Physical cues will be slower to register.”

“So Nico should do them earlier?"

“Maybe. You’ll probably pick up what works pretty fast, after she trips over you a few times.”

“No one’s tripping.”

“Tangos are tough, Nico. You really have to be open to communicate.”

Nico frowned. She knew Eli was giving her good advice. And Maki was not much of a talker. But starting with a simpler dance might blow the mystique.

“Want another go?”

“Nah.” Nico shook her head. “Thanks but Nico’s got to run. Plus, “and the door opened right on cue, “your girlfriend’s on her dinner break. See you soon. Thanks, Eli.”

“Sure. Good luck.”

“What does Nico-chi need luck for?” Nozomi looked overheated, in a tight, striped black and white dress more suited to fall nights than summer afternoons.

Nico grabbed Eli’s arm, whispering, “Keep Nozomi away from here tomorrow and I’ll tell you two things about Maki.”

Eli’s bright blue eyes lit up, Nico dodged Nozomi’s grasping hands, heading into the main club with a wave.

“Hi, Beautiful.” Nozomi pulled Eli in for a long kiss. “What’s Nico-chi up to?”

Eli giggled, “Homework.”

###

It was kind of a date, Nico decided. They’d agreed on a place and a time to meet up and dance. That sounded like a date. And Nico knew exactly where to suggest grabbing dinner after. But how dressy should Nico go? It was mostly a working date, a study date, Nico showing Maki how the tango worked as a dance so Maki could make the tango work as music. Why had Maki picked the tango? Nico would have to remember to ask.

As Nico approached the club, she saw Maki pacing nervously outside. A white skirt with black stripes, very feminine scarf tie at the waist caught the wind as she moved and a knit lilac button down top matched her eyes. Maki kept switching her purse between hands. Nico’s choice of a pink and black asymmetrical dance skirt and a ruched floral top were a good match for Maki’s outfit. Nico walked faster.

“Hi, Maki! Your outfit is so pretty.”

Blush, avoidance of eye contact, no reply. Oh well, Nico knew Nico looked good.

“Shall we?” Nico offered her arm. Maki hesitated. Nico moved closer, “It’s so Nico can get used to your stride.”

Maki slowly slid her arm through Nico’s, Nico guiding them through a club empty of anyone but the set up and cleaning staff.

“Your friend works here?” Maki glanced around.

“Bartender, Tarot reader on slow nights. They also pay my other friend, Eli, to keep the dance floor busy.”

“But not you?”

Nico shrugged, “Eli does it to be friendly, make some spending money, and make sure Nozomi gets home safely. Nico prefers dance as performance.”

Maki considered, “You want an audience.”

“Then Nico gets everyone’s attention, not just her partner for the dance.” They stepped into the private room, door closing behind them, “Nico’s not into random partners.”

“Oh.” Maki seemed less glum at that statement.

Nico turned on the sound system, checking the Bluetooth connection. “So why the tango?”

Maki was leaning back against the bar, watching her foot as she rotated her ankle. Very shiny crystal and lavender heels. How tall was Maki now, Nico wondered.

“My advisor suggested it.”

“As a filler credit?”

“As a way to understand emotion in music better.”

“Dance teaches you that right away, you really have to dive into the mood of a song to express it through movement. Everything the music says and the dancer feels out on the floor. One of Nico’s favorite things about dance. The tango’s a really great choice if that’s what you want.”

Maki bit her lip, dropping her foot to the ground, toe pointed, nice form, probably ballet lessons as a kid. “I don’t know. I don’t think I’m getting it.”

“Think?” Nico snorted, “Tangos aren’t for thinking, silly Maki.”

“Really.” Sculpted eyebrow quirked up, “and what is the tango for?”

“Talking.”

Maki sounded surprised at Nico’s answer. “I don’t get it.”

NIco hit play and stepped to the space in front of Maki, hands out, “Nico will demonstrate.”

“But the song already started …”

“We burn through this one and start with the next one, The first thing dancers do with a song is listen.”

The first song they actually danced to, after false starts, the most classic of classic tangoes, had been stop and go, Maki growling sotto voce in frustration, Nico biting the inside of her cheek not to snap when Maki went to the opposite side of Nico’s lead. Follow was not in the composer’s vocabulary.

They took a break, leaning against the bar, lime seltzers fizzing.

Maki actually broke the silence this time. “So do your classes cover the tango a lot?”

Nico sipped, “Depends on the prof. Nico’s mostly focused on musicals and tap so not much ballroom, a lot of jazz though. Nico takes acting classes too.” Another sip. “Maybe Nico will apply for an independent study in tango.”

Maki laughed, gesturing toward the dance floor. “That made you want to tango more?”

A wink, Nico stepping out, settling into the leader half of the frame.

“Nico thrives on challenge.”

“Good to know.” Suddenly nervous, Maki stepped forward, rubbing her seltzer holding hand dry on her hip before resting it in Nico’s.

Nico inhaled. “We’ll try the cross system with this one. You go back with the same leg Nico moves forward.”

“Sure.”

Nico had chosen a faster song than the last. Which seemed to calm Maki. This time, there really was a sensation of “tango walk.” Nico could feel Maki’s confidence growing.

Nico slid them into the finishing frame. “So when does Nico get to hear your tango?”

Amethyst eyes, facets of worry and wonder weaving together, caught Nico’s entire attention. After a long moment, Nico got her answer. “Now.”

Nico had forgotten the question. Maki didn’t notice.

“I can text you the file to play.”

Music. Maki’s song. Pay attention, Nico.

“Cool. Nico’s on it.” Didn’t sound too rushed.

The song had a very quick tempo, loud piano dominating, Nico using upper body strength to physically drag Maki from step to step. There was no shared frame, just frantic steps. Fortunately, the piece was short. Nico broke the hold immediately, but smiled encouragingly at a worried Maki. “The tango’s a walk, the tango’s a talk. That was a run. Just piano, no percussion.” Nico didn’t know the right words to describe what had felt different about Maki’s piece so the panicky ramble continued. “Did it sound like a polka to you? It sounded like a polka to Nico. Polkas aren’t sexy.”

At that, Maki, face flushed, turned, stormed toward the bar, swallowed lime seltzer then started choking. Nico rushed over in a panic, hand hovering over Maki’s back.

“Nico was just thinking out loud. It sounded pretty and interesting. Maki did a great job with musicality, really got Nico’s toes tapping…”

Maki sighed, aware Nico was trying to help. “It’s just not a tango.”

Nico shrugged.

“The tango started historically when European music merged with the rhythms enslaved Africans added to the South American music mix. So I took a Sergio Rachmaninoff polka and …”

“Sounds smart.” Nico put a hand on Maki’s waist and Maki turned into the frame. “But maybe now Maki can start with the dance. Two people. Nico and Maki. Palm to palm. Right here." Nico circled her waist. "If Maki follows Nico and really feels the rhythm in her body, it’ll be a…musical skeleton to put notes on.” Pleased at that, Nico leaned and hit play on the next song. “We listen, then Nico slides forward, then Maki pulls Nico in.” Each movement clear and confident, Nico's eyes on Maki, who wouldn’t make eye contact, but didn’t fumble a step. “Maki follows Nico, Nico follows Maki. We walk, we talk, we tango.”

And without words, they moved across the dance floor to one of the slower selections Nico had found. When Maki surged further than Nico expected, responding to the music, Nico was right there, her adjustment seamless. Maki relaxing with each successful exchange of steps, eventually sliding her foot behind her in a flourish, Nico a solid support.

“That was …”

“Wow.” Maki finished, eyes sparkling with something that Nico suspected was inspiration.

Nico could be a Muse, she thought, waiting, with Maki standing there, slightly out of breath, a grin breaking though her worried mask. Then Maki’s expression closed off again, she went back to the bar, humming to herself, tapping out a rhythm on wood. Nico started to tap her foot at Maki’s pace. Maki looked up, nodded at Nico.

“Can you keep that rhythm while we dance?”

“Sure.”

“You can change the tempo. That’s fine.”

“Don’t worry, Nico can handle it.”

Maki walking into the frame of Nico’s arm was becoming a familiar sensation, Maki’s hip under Nico’s left hand a warm welcome. Where their palms met, there was a warmth, no sweat, a pocket of air that pulsed with their intertwined breath rate. Nico smiled.

Maki hummed, Nico’s solid stomp of steps providing a confident rhythm. Maki started to laugh as Nico increased the tempo, Nico joining in, and as they came back to the frame, Maki’s foot slowly caressed Nico’s leg and before Nico recovered from that surprise, Maki raised her free leg, kicking it out, toe pointed, to add a finishing flourish but then over rotated her hips, pulling Nico toward her, both of them finishing on the floor.

“You were right, Eli,” Nozomi’s drawl broke the confused silence, “She did trip over Nico.”

Maki pushed Nico off her, ducking behind Nico in a poorly executed attempt at stealth that only made it obvious Maki was diving for cover.

“Nico tripped over Nico.” Grumbling, Nico stood, offering a hand to Maki, which she ignored, struggling to her feet on her own. Nico leaned over, hissing a whisper. “Next time warn Nico about the fancy stuff.”

Maki shook her head, rushing for her purse, “I have to go.”

“Wait!” Nico reached out, but Maki was out the back door with the Do Not Exit sign taped on it and gone before the alarm started.

“Fix that.” Nico snapped at Nozomi. With a giggle, Nozomi, moving at a speed that surprised Nico, left the room, the obnoxious noise ceasing soon after,

“So that was Maki.”

“Yes, Eli,” Nico glared. “That was Maki. You were supposed to keep her” Nico pointed to the returning Nozomi, “home.”

Nozomi slid her arm around Eli’s waist, “We didn’t want you to seem friendless, Nico-chi. Girls like to date people who can make friends.”

“Nico was doing fine.”

Eli raised a dubious eyebrow.

“Shut up,” Nico threw an imaginary plate. “And get lost.”

Very deliberately, Nico went out the same door Maki had.

“Charming.” Nozomi rolled her eyes, Eli giggled.

###

Nico was surprised to find Maki leaning against the wall of the building, her phone out, a piano keyboard on the screen.

“Almost finished, just a couple minutes.”

“Okay. Nico will wait.” Nico leaned back, next to Maki, shoulders near touching.

“Sorry, I didn’t stay to meet your friends.” Maki looked worried.

“S’okay. We can go out to dinner sometime.”

“Sure.”

Silence as Maki kept working on the tiny keyboard. Nico watched out of her peripheral vision. Maki had two earbuds in so Nico couldn’t hear much, but there was shade, a bit of a breeze, and Maki kept brushing Nico’s shoulder with hers.

Maki turned, taking a bud out of one ear, handing it to Nico. “Here.”

Nico listened. There was a hint of what Nico had heard before but Maki had stripped out many many notes, leaving a sparse but sprightly framework that opened space for each dancer to respond to the music and each other.

“It’s so much more talk, more back and forth. Nico likes the way you follow each pause with grace notes for the dancers to show off moves. ”

“Seemed very Nico.”

“Nico wasn’t the one throwing in caricias and kicks.”

Maki winked, “I thought Nico liked a challenge. The tango was the first improvised dance. I wanted to honor the spirit.” Maki switched to a different app.

“Nico didn’t know that, about the improvisation.”

“It’s not a waltz. Tangos change every time, every song, every partner.”

“Nico likes that, the every song part. That way, even with the same partner, it’s always a challenge.”

“Can we try mine?”

“Here?”

Maki nodded, “Unless you want to go back inside.”

“Nope. Right now, Nico doesn’t need an audience.”

“Here.” Maki reached up a hand, her fingers dexterously adjusting Nico’s earbud, sneaking a few strokes through Nico’s hair, then fixing her own. “If we do this well, they’ll stay in.”

“Argentina style, chest to chest, move with your center first.” Nico’s hand fell to Maki’s waist. She felt a slight tremble. “Ready?”

Eye contact. Full on. Nico stopped hearing city noises, getting distracted by passerbys. She could feel Maki’s pulse in the palm of her hand, hear the pause in Maki’s breathing as they both waited for the music to start. Maki put her phone in her waistband and Nico heard the opening musical phrase. They listened for four bars, then Nico moved forward, Maki responding, then the music squaring them up again. Nico couldn’t decide between watching Maki’s eyes or lips, but Maki mouthed a “ready” and Nico figured it was a warning, so her posture still elongated, Nico put her weight into the floor, firm as Maki kicked to the side, an elegant toe pointing out, both dancers' eyes following the movement. Their upper torsos stay close, earbud wires not strained, Nico feeling excitement bubbling up as she led Maki into their next move. All the fumbles, the frustrations evaporated, Maki's new music the true leader of the dance.

The end. Nico ripped out her earbud, “Nico Ni! That was amazing, Maki. You nailed it. Nico could feel where the music wanted us to go next. What else have you done? Nico wants to hear. Can we dance to it?”

Maki couldn’t help grinning, wrapping the earbuds up, “Thanks for your help, Nico. I’m glad you liked it.”

“Nico didn’t like it. Nico loved it.” Nico grabbed Maki and whirled her, “We should write another.”

“We? Maybe.” Maki’s voice sounded thin, “One you can use in your independent study, if you decide to take that.”

Maki remembered that; Nico had almost forgotten.

“Nico is a tango master now. Senora Sosa will be so impressed. Easy A. Maybe Nico can talk somebody into staging “Evita. Have you seen it?”

“No.”

“You’ll have to come over and we’ll stream it.”

“Sure.” Maki didn’t seem to be paying attention.

Nico was starting to worry at the lack of energy in Maki’s voice, “Hey, Maki.”

“What?”

“Nico wants to buy you dinner. Now that the lesson’s over and you got your tango, maybe you’re hungry. There’s this really cool diner a couple of blocks that way. Nico thought it would be fun to go there after.” Nico bounced a couple of steps ahead, burning off some excitement. “We could talk about what kind of plays Maki likes to watch. Nico gets free preview tickets sometimes. It’s fun to dress up and go with dance friends, but Nico thinks it might be more fun to go with Maki.”

Maki blinked, “Not dancing.”

“Nico could dance. Nico can always dance. Nico knows a bar with a tango night.”

“Not dancing.” Maki repeated.

Nico dared, “Dating. And dancing. With Nico. And food so you don’t look so pale that Nico might have to catch you when you collapse.”

Maki kept blinking.

Nico stepped forward, right under Maki's nose, hands at her side, “We don’t have to do it all in one night.”

Maki laughed, shoulders relaxing. “Good. I might just skip straight to collapsing. Dancing takes a lot of work.”

“So you appreciate Nico.” A wink. Hand on waist.

“I appreciate Nico. And I will buy Nico a milkshake, burger, and fries as thanks.”

“Nico eats salads.”

“With french fries on the side so I can steal yours.”

“Nico will allow.”

Nico took a moment to step back and just look at Maki, no sunhat, hair gently tossed by a cool breeze, poised, super pretty, with a sophisticated aura that might have sauntered right off one of the ‘Round and ‘Round international summer travel posters, fresh from an ocean stroll. Not a mood you expect in a Chicago parking lot.

“Nico?” Maki’s voice was soft.

“Huh?”

“What are you thinking about?”

“Just wondering if this is some kind of summertime haze daydream and Nico’s about to die from heat stroke. You look so pretty that you could have just walked into Nico’s arms from a beach in Buenos Aires.”

A blush, not sunburn, but the perfect shade to supplement Maki’s shy smile. Her hand was surprisingly cool as she rested it on Nico’s forehead.

“I am a certified lifeguard and I am not observing any heat related symptoms.” Maki looked Nico up and down, sweeping a curl of hair nervously behind her ear. “We won’t need an ambulance.”

“That might be the strangest compliment anyone’s ever said to Nico.”

A sunburn at noon flush of embarrassment.

“But Nico likes that Maki knows Nico’s in excellent shape.”

Nico waited for a reaction, but Maki seemed to be kicking gravel.

Nico didn’t let this moment linger. Return to the last save point. “Let’s go get those fries. And we can talk about what you’re going to try at the ‘Round and ‘Round next. Nico has suggestions.

Dazzling depths of amethyst locked on Nico, stealing her next several breaths. Maki stepped closer, Nico wondering what song was going to start playing now as a convertible zoomed by blasting totally scene wrecking emo whiny boy rock. Maki didn’t flinch, Nico catching a flicker of mischief in her expression. Then she leaned forward, sweat adding a musky note to the rose notes of her perfume, lips brushing the softest kiss on Nico’s cheek.

“I’m listening.”

A/N:

I picked the 5K tier of the latest Idol Fanfic Heaven event and this is the result. It's been a really hectic, stressful two weeks for my family. It was nice to have a task that I could work on a chunk at a time. Hope you enjoy.
