Short summary: Tsubasa wants to play the Pocky game with Ellie.
“E-Ellie…”
Ellie turned around to face a very fidgety and nervous-looking Tsubasa. “What is it, Tsubasa?”
Tsubasa opened her bag and showed a whole bunch of different Pocky flavors to Ellie: original, strawberry, matcha, white chocolate, pumpkin were the ones that Ellie could see on top, but there could be even more underneath. “Do you like chocolate or strawberry or…”
Ellie pressed her lips together and took a moment to think. She didn’t eat Pocky very often; it wasn’t good to indulge in sweets too much as an actress who needed to stay in good shape. “I guess strawberry? But—”
“H-here you go.” Tsubasa nearly dropped her bag with Pocky in her haste to shove the box of strawberry Pocky into Ellie’s hands.
“Aw, thanks.” Ellie opened the box and pulled a piece out. Now that she thought about it, today was November 11, right? That would be prime time for…
“C-can we p-play…” Tsubasa had moved to stand slightly closer to Ellie than before. Her cheeks were even pinker than before too.
“I was waiting for you to ask.” Ellie grinned before putting the strawberry end in her mouth. A moment later Tsubasa had carefully put the other end in her mouth. They just looked at each other for a moment. Tsubasa was cute and it wasn’t like Ellie hadn’t thought a few times already about what it would be like to kiss Tsubasa. This would be their chance to see if those lips were as sweet as they looked without much pressure for it to become something more.
With a wink Ellie made her first move. The first few steps were easy, but as they got closer to meeting in the middle the redder Tsubasa’s face became. Even Ellie felt her face heating up from nerves and excitement. They were so close…
Tsubasa panicked, biting too hard and breaking off completely with 3 cm to go. This surprised Ellie, who also bit off her piece. There was maybe a millisecond where a small segment of Pocky was falling towards the floor, and then everything happened quickly. On instinct Ellie lunged forward. She didn’t want them to stop, when they were so close… She managed to catch the last bit of Pocky but it also unbalanced her and sent her crashing into Tsubasa, who wasn’t expecting the impact and they tumbled onto the floor, Ellie landing on top of Tsubasa and her lips smashing against Tsubasa’s.
Ellie should have scrambled off of Tsubasa and apologized right away, made sure Tsubasa hadn’t hit the ground too hard, but Tsubasa was so soft…her lips, her body…and tasted so sweet…and it wasn’t like she could get off with Tsubasa’s hands gripping onto her dress. There was no reason to rush, not when Tsubasa wanted her there too.
They only separated when they needed to breathe, Ellie pushing herself up with her arms so that she sat up, knees straddling Tsubasa’s body. She took a moment to drink in the sight below; Tsubasa’s face was still very red and her chest was heaving with her rapid breaths, but she otherwise looked very happy. Ellie was sure something similar was showing on her own face.
“Um…” Tsubasa’s hands, which had released from Ellie’s dress when Ellie sat up, reached towards Ellie’s hands. Ellie gently tugged and helped Tsubasa sit up as well. Their lips were only a few centimeters apart, but Ellie swerved to the side to whisper into Tsubasa’s ear.
“Wanna try matcha next?” she suggested with a husky voice.
“Yes!” The enthusiastic response made Ellie laugh.
Over the next half hour, Ellie found that while strawberry was the best flavor, any flavor could be good with the right person to share it with.
