Short summary: Saki laughs realizing how much she wanted to be friends with Kotomi but instead they became girlfriends.
“What are you snickering about?”
Saki is not surprised by the glare that Kotomi sends her way. After all she is laughing while Kotomi is in the middle of explaining the events of the latest lily maiden comic, a topic that isn’t funny at all. But just being able to sit with Kotomi like this, share drinks, chat and hold hands…
“Ah, nothing.” Saki flashes a reassuring smile. “I’m just thinking about how much I wanted to be your friend but instead here we’ve become girlfriends.”
Kotomi takes a moment to process Saki’s words before she frowns. “You’re the one who asked me. Is there a problem?”
“No, not at all!” Saki exclaims, squeezing Kotomi’s left hand. “I’m just happy.”
Saki knew friendship wouldn’t be enough when she kept wanting to hold Kotomi’s hand, wanting to feel Kotomi next to her, wanting to hear her voice and even that sharp way of showing care… So she asked Kotomi to be her girlfriend at a café similar to this one, after they had gone shopping together at Radio Kaikan, whether it would okay to do so, to become more…
“Your smile is creepy right now.”
Saki knows it probably is, but she fakes a gasp of offense. “Kotomi! Aren’t you happy too?” she exclaims dramatically.
“Y-yes…” Kotomi falls for the act, but only for a moment. The next moment she’s blushing in embarrassment. “Stop with those eyes! You’re making me feel…”
Kotomi brings her cup up to hide her face, but Saki definitely sees that red face. Oh, Kotomi is so easy to read. She giggles.
Kotomi shakes her head. “Idiot…” But Kotomi is smiling too, genuinely, and Saki thinks with each moment like this that they share that she’ll just keep falling even more in love with her precious girlfriend.
