Symphony of Babying (Private with Lazuli)
 

(Kill La Kill Highschool AU for anyone wondering)

Satsuki Kiriyuin, student council president, was walking down the street to her friend Nonon's house. Friend. That word bugged her a bit since she always wanted to change it. Whether she began calling Nonon girlfriend, partner, or simply lover, it would get the point of their relationship across. That would be, if that relationship was a reality. Which at the moment it was not.

This was actually the primary intention of Satsuki heading to Nonon's house. She wished to bring her feelings to light and let Nonon know the truth. Whether Nonon felt the same was up to debate and a thought that she had been rolling around in her head for a while. What would she do if Nonon said no? If she didn't want to be her girlfriend? Well, she wasn't sure how she would feel. She had never had her heartbroken. At least not like that. Satsuki could only assume that it would leave her in a state that she did not want to be in.

As she approached Nonon's house, she looked up at it. Actually, house isn't quite the right word to describe this. A small mansion would perhaps be more suiting. Not as large as her home, but it still towered over some other building in the area. Both of their families had a bit of money, so it was not surprising that they had homes this large. Satsuki took a look at everything about the house, taking all of the details in. Not because they were grand and beautiful or anything. She'd been over here hundreds of time that how it looked barely fazed her anymore. No, she was doing so that she had an excuse to force herself to stall for time so that she wouldn't have to admit her feelings sooner.

"What am I doing?" Satsuki asked herself. She sighed and looked at the front door, right above three simple stone steps like always. She had walked up them so many times, but this time it would be challenging. Those three steps were each a tiny trial that she would have to face to reach the door. Nonetheless she forced herself to complete these tasks and stood infront of the door.

She took a deep breath. Was this...nervousness that she was feeling? She so rarely felt it that it actually felt new to her. She raised her hand up and rang on the doorbell, waiting for someone to come answer. Whether it be Nonon or one of her family members, they would almost certainly let her inside. She then waited for a while until she saw the door finally creak open.

Satsuki herself was dressed in a fancy-ish white shirt and a light blue skirt. "No, I'm quite fine at the moment." Satsuki said, decline her friend's offer of something to eat. She wasn't feeling particularly hungry at the moment. How could she eat with these feeling after all? "Nonon...would you mind if we headed up to your room for something? I have something that I want to...talk to you about. Don't worry about it is until we get up there." she said. She immediatly realized how suspicious and strange she was sounding immediatly after she said it. She probably could have chosen her words better. There was no going back though, so she just waited for Nonon's answer. While doing so in the short period of time it took she glanced over Nonon and took her friend's beauty in. There was that word again. Friend.

Satsuki shut the door behind her and took a look around. She was sure nobody was listening in and tried to compose herself. "Thank you for taking me up here so that I could talk to you." she said. She stood infront of Nonon. This was it. If she didn't do it here she never would be able to at all. She just had to force herself to do it. "Nonon. For the longest time I-I..." she tried to say, but words, could not come to her. Why was it that she could speak infront of hundred, even thousands of her peers at once and yet couldn't say one thing to her friend infront of her. It was because the situation was different. This wasn't announcing a school event or explaining new school policies. That stuff was easy. Anyone could do it. This was a declaration of love. A completely different playing field than what she was used to.

"Nonon...for a while now, years really, I've always wanted to say something. Admit something." Satsuki paused for a moment, carefully thinking over what to say next. Her fists clenched together by her side out of nervousness. Damn, this was tough. What should she say? What should she do? Was this really the right time and place to do such a thing?

"That something is that I...I want to be...more than friends is what I'm trying to say." Satsuki finally spat out, finding that sufficient enough and hoping that Nonon understood what she was trying to get across.

Satsuki was surprised that Nonon had the same feelings that she did. She was even more surprised to find that she was suddenly being kissed by Nonon. Of course, this was a good surprise. No, this would be a great surprise. She kissed back, a natural instinct and something that she didn't have to think about for more than a second. She wrapped and arm around Nonon and pulled her a bit closer. This had went...much better than she had planned in her mind. She planned about ten scenarios of what to do in case Nonon didn't share the same feelings. She managed to come up with all of them on the way to Nonon's room. Now it seem those thoughts were for nothing, not that anyone was complaining. After what felt like hours, but what more so a minute or two, Satsuki released the kiss and looked at Nonon with a smile. "So, I think it's safe to say that we are more than just friends now."

Satsuki happily took the spot next to Nonon on the soft bed. "Ryuko probably knows if I'm to be honest. She's knows that I come over so often and she's not dense." she said. "Nui, on the other hand, might have not. If so, I have no doubts that she will use this against me. However, that doesn't matter to me. I don't care who knows about this.' she said, smiling at Nonon. "I'm not doing anything for the rest of the day, so I would like to stay over here if that's possible. We could so something together, or maybe even just talk if you want to. Maybe learn about one another now that we're together."
