Here's the next chapter, portraying Nozomi's and Nico's morning and the aftermath of their encounter with Maki and Eli. There's a really lewd scene in here that I couldn't help but write, this being part of the numerous situations I would like to place the pairings in. I'm a really warped human being. (ヽ´ω`)

I'm really unsure if the rating should change to M or it's still borderline. Please read this chapter and tell me if I should change it or not! (;´∀`)


Rays of sunlight went through the small apartment's window as the birds chirped, signaling the start of a new day. With a small grunt, Toujou Nozomi opened her eyes to get blinded as the sunlight entered her field of vision. Moving her head slightly, she could see Nico sleeping soundly behind her back, emitting a slight breathing noise from her mouth. Using her free hand, she took her phone that was lying on the bed-side table and looked at the time, reading 6:00 AM in the morning. As she placed her phone back, she could feel sudden movements on her bed.

Nico placed her arms around Nozomi, hugging her in a tight embrace. She could feel Nico's chest pressing against her back, as well as her small legs crossing between her thighs. Surprised at the abrupt warmth, she froze for a few seconds, trying to get a hold of the situation.

"Nico…" Nozomi whispered lightly, showing no restraint against the small senior. She decided to bask in the warmth of the raven-haired girl for a little while, and she slowly closed her eyes, relaxing her shoulders and smiling to her best friend's skinship.

Until, all of a sudden, Nico grabbed a hold of Nozomi's ample breasts, rubbing them softly.

"Ahn!" Nozomi moaned, flinging her eyes open in realization, and she looked back at Nico, who was showing a joyful expression while apparently still asleep.

"N-Nicocchi!? Hey, stop that…!" Nozomi whispered at Nico, who was seemingly ignoring Nozomi's cries of pleasure and embarrassment. Nico continued to rub Nozomi's breasts in a set rhythm, causing the spiritual girl to twitch and jerk at the small girl's attack.

"Munyaa… I took the giant marshmallows, nico~" Nico said in her sleep, which made Nozomi snap in her mind. Just what is she dreaming about!?

"Nicocchi…! Wake up already, jeez… Ah!" Nozomi moaned uncontrollably, her body shaking at the rush of sensations she was feeling at that moment. In her rubbing movements, Nico would often graze through Nozomi's nipples, causing her to quiver slightly at the sudden touch. Touching her forehead, she could feel light-headedness and high fever, even though it's the middle of winter.

"Ah… can't be helped, nico~ I'll share it with everyone~!" Nico grabbed Nozomi's breasts with small force, and tried to separate them from each other. Nozomi squealed and put her hands over her mouth, muffling the screams of pleasure. She could feel her erect nipples budding against her blouse, which made her blush even harder, her heart racing faster than ever before.

"Nico...cchi… S-Stop already… I'm…" Nozomi moaned, her shoulders losing strength and her light-headedness increasing. She could feel a tingling sensation down in her shorts, and she bumped her behind against Nico's groin, causing her to react on contact. Nico was soft, and she couldn't resist the temptation of falling prey to her assault.

"Haaahn!" Almost reaching her limit, her body shot up against Nico, the small girl's rubbing movements continuing. She noticed her blouse's stripes falling down from her shoulders, giving Nico a chance to graze Nozomi's raw breasts. Unable to control herself, Nozomi trailed her hand down to her shorts, and started caressing her privates in reaction.

"No… Why am I doing this…?" Nozomi moaned, and her finger movements increasing. Putting her hand inside her shorts, she touched her core directly, her outer lips excreting a vicious liquid.

"Nicocchi…! I'm sorry, I'm going to…!" Nozomi violently jerked her hips forward, reaching her short-term climax. Unable to move anymore, her arms fell limp on the bed, losing strength completely. She noticed Nico stopped rubbing her breasts, one of her arms parting from her body and falling limp on the bed as well.

Taking this as a chance, she sluggishly raised herself off the bed, almost tripping and falling down the hard floor. Panting heavily, she left a sleepy Nico strewn about in her bed.

"Haa… Haa…" Nozomi was breathing heavily, feeling her heart was about to burst out at any moment. She looked at her right hand closely, and a transparent substance could be seen plastered between her fingers. Her face turning into a full shade of red, she looked back at Nico, who was still sleeping like nothing happened.

"Jeez… Nicocchi is a pervert…" Nozomi pouted as she headed to the bathroom to wash her face, trying to erase any record of what just happened off her memory. She looked at herself in the mirror, a flustered Nozomi showing in the reflective surface. Sighing, she splashed water on her face in frustration, still embarrassed over what happened a few minutes ago.

"Although, I'm more of a pervert than her…" Wiping off her face with a towel in embarrassment, she walked over to the toilet, unzipping her shorts and pulling down her violet panties. Sitting on the toilet lid, she looked down and she noticed a big stain on the fabric of panties, causing her business to leak out as soon as she noticed the mark of immorality Nico left in her undergarments. Steam blowing off her ears, she hid her face with both hands and cursed at herself for getting off on her best friend.

Walking out of the bathroom with a depressed expression, she spotted Nico yawning, getting off the bed sluggishly. They noticed each other's presence, the purple-haired teen blushing slightly.

"Good morning, Nozomin! Did you sleep well?" Nico asked, still half-asleep but maintaining her cheerful voice. She was sparkling with bed-hair and wrinkles all over her clothes, and she headed towards Nozomi's direction. She took a step back in fear of getting breast rubbed again, causing Nico to react.

"What's wrong?" Nico said in a confused expression, and Nozomi retaliated. She walked towards Nico and handed her the towel she wiped her face with, smiling slightly.

"Nothing, just still feeling asleep… I had a rude awakening." Nozomi said in her usual dialect with a blush forming on her face, causing Nico to sulk a little.

"Was it because I was sleeping with you? I took some bed space after all…" Nico looked down in defeat, feeling a bit depressed for being a bother to her friend. Nozomi approached her and placed her hand over Nico's head, rubbing it softly.

"No, you're wrong. I enjoyed sleeping with you after such a long time, Nicocchi." Nozomi sweetly said to the raven-haired girl, causing her to brim of happiness. She attacked Nozomi with a hug, crashing her head against her breasts.

"Nozomin~! You're so sweet~!" Nico exclaimed, rubbing her head against Nozomi's ample bosom. Still sensitive for what happened earlier, she flinched at Nico's movements, a full-on blush portraying on her face.

"Ahn! Wait, Nicocchi…! I get it already, so let go, will you!?" Nozomi said, trying to play it off as a tease and trying to get separated from Nico, who locked eyes with her.

"Oh, sorry!" Nico pulled away from Nozomi.

"I'll be taking a bath now, so get the uniforms and breakfast ready, stat!" Nico pointed at Nozomi with her bossy attitude, something the spiritual girl was already used to. She smiled at the raven-haired girl's antics, and turned around towards the kitchen.

"As you wish, Miss Super Idol." Nozomi disappeared into the kitchen, leaving a satisfied Nico behind in the bathroom's entrance.

Putting on her brown apron, Nozomi started making preparations for breakfast. There was still plenty of time before school started, but as seniors, they had to arrive early to live up to Otonokizaka's expectations.

Nico headed into the bathroom; taking off Nozomi's clothes she lent her in the process. Spotting her reflection on the mirror, she made her signature pose, waving at an imaginary audience and smiling. Grabbing her borrowed clothes, she put them aside in a pile and started taking off her pink underwear. Turning on the bathroom shower, she entered slowly, trying to get used to the cold water coming out.

Nozomi decided to make a traditional japanese breakfast consisting of onigiri, miso soup and boiled eggs. Getting preparations for breakfast ready, she overhears Nico singing in the bathroom once again.

I want you~
I need you~
I love you~
Atama no naka~
Gangan natteru MUSIC~
Heavy Rotation~

Nozomi doesn't recognize the song or melody at all, but still tries to hum along with her upbeat singing. Taking out clean plates from the drawer and empty bowls for the miso soup and rice, she serves the fool on the dining table. Taking stripes of nori, she takes a loaf of rice and transforms it into a triangle-shaped onigiri with her hands at an incredible speed. She went back into the kitchen to get a jar of juice and cups for both of them, as well as utensils.

Nozomi heard the bathroom shower turn off, meaning Nico was done with her bath. Taking her time cleaning the used bowls and turning off the rice cooker, she walked to the dining table, taking a seat and noticing the small senior brushing her long hair.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, nico~" Said the raven-haired girl as she brushed her hair down straight, already wearing the Otonokizaka senior uniform. She took a seat on the dining table alongside Nozomi.

"Why aren't you sitting across?" Nozomi asked, looking down at her friend next to her.

"I don't know. I just wanted to be next to you~" Nico said with a smile, causing Nozomi to blush slightly, locking her eyes on the food.

"A-Anyway, let's eat quickly. Itadakimasu." Nozomi announced, taking a piece of onigiri and eating it in a hurry.

"Okay, Itadakimasu-nico~!" Nico did the same, taking sips of her miso soup between bites. Sound of munching and sipping overtook the atmosphere, the two hungry girls wolfing down the food in an instant.

After a few minutes, they both completely obliterated breakfast, leaving no leftovers behind. Drinking down the remainder of her juice in a single sitting, Nozomi started picking up the plates and used utensils to the kitchen, leaving them in the sink and pouring water on them.

"I'm going to take a shower, so get your stuff ready. I won't take long." Nozomi said to the raven-haired girl, heading for the bathroom.

"Roger!" Nico saluted like a soldier in training, and went into Nozomi's room, where she went to look for her school bag. Scouting around the room, she found a school bag above the drawer in the corner of her eye, and walked towards it. She opened the bag and confirmed it's contents, reaching to the conclusion that... It was Nozomi's bag.

"Oh, this is the wrong one..." Nico said as she proceeded to zip the bag shut, until she noticed a small purple notebook, almost too small to be used in class. Zipping it back open, she took the small notebook and looked at the cover.

"This is... Nozomi's diary?" The raven-haired girl gasped, curious to read its contents. Part of her wanted to know about what she wrote in her everyday life, especially what she wrote about her. Another part wanted to put the notebook back in the bag, being a good friend and restricting herself from knowing Nozomi's secrets.

Her eyes spinning, she was at a loss. She wanted to read at least one paragraph, but she couldn't. She stayed still for a few minutes, thinking about the consequences reading Nozomi's diary would bring, like getting breast rubbed until passing out, or even worse things. She shook her head and tried to make a decision quickly.

In the middle of her frustration, she heard the door open, and she put the diary behind her back in panic.

"Nicocchi? What are you doing, hurry up or we'll be late!" Nozomi said, towards Nico.

"Ah, yes! I'm just looking for my bag..." Nico said, her eyes looking in various directions, still taking note of Nozomi's movements. She moved out of her way as she grabbed her school bag swiftly, zipping it shut and looking at Nico, who was flustered.

"If you're looking for it, it's near the entrance. Let's go." Nozomi went ahead and took Nico's arm, leading her out of the room. She still grabbed a hold of Nozomi's diary with her free hand, trying to hide it from view.

"Ah... Wait, Nozomin! Stop pulling me around~!" Nico said jokingly as she got dragged by Nozomi to the door, where she found her school bag lying on the floor. Using her keys to open the door, Nozomi stepped outside the cold winter. She locked eyes with Nico, who gave her a signal to hurry up.

Nozomi turned her back around, giving Nico a chance to hide the purple diary in her bag. She opened the school bag and quickly stuffed the diary inside, picking it up and zipping it shut before heading outside as well. Nozomi walked past Nico once more and closed the apartment door, both seniors walking to the school side by side.


Nico would often try to strike a conversation with Nozomi, talking about various topics, but mostly about idols. Nozomi liked hearing the latest news about the idol world from Nico, thinking it's amazing how girls can be so talented and respected around the business. With Nico aspiring to be a professional idol, she needs to know everything about the field.

Walking by the snowy streets, Nico went very quiet halfway through, awfully so. Nozomi noticed this, and bent her torso down, looking directly at Nico's face with a cute expression.

"What's up, Nicocchi? Something on your mind?" Nozomi playfully asked with a smile. Nico jumped a bit, and slowed down her pace to match Nozomi's.

"Ah, it's nothing... It's just so cold, my vocal chords are frozen!" Nico smiled at her best friend, sticking her tongue out in a playful manner. They both giggled and continued their journey to Otonokizaka.

After a few minutes, they could see the main high school building from afar. Almost reaching the entrance, they spotted two very familiar silhouettes coming towards them.

A blonde girl wearing a senior uniform and a red-haired girl wearing a freshman one, walking side by side. Nozomi could recognize both of them very clearly, and she slowed her pace down in hesitation.

All of a sudden, Nico gave her best friend a light push forward, surprising the purple-haired girl. She looked back and saw Nico smiling brightfully, and she realized that she's not alone. She nodded at her and faced forward, resuming her pace. It wasn't long before both pairs faced eachother in front of the entrance, not a single word coming out.

Ayase Eli was looking straight at the spiritual girl with serious eyes, which made Nozomi look down in defeat. She was the first one to break the silence.

"Elicchi... I..." Nozomi tried to mutter a few words, but she couldn't speak at all. It must be the cold that made her unable to form a sentence in front of her friend, and she wanted to run away at that moment.

Taking a deep breath, Eli walked towards Nozomi, the spiritual girl closing her eyes shut in fear. What she felt was the complete opposite; a sudden warmth filling her body.

Eli hugged Nozomi in a tight embrace. The on-lookers sighed in unison and smiled at the sign of affection, Eli being the first one to speak.

"I'm sorry, Nozomi. I yelled at you like that, and it's all my fault. I really regret my actions." Eli looked at her teary-eyed friend.

"Would you forgive me?" Eli asked, locking her eyes with Nozomi's.

"...Yes! I'll forgive you, Elicchiii!" Nozomi hugged Eli back, tears overflowing her face. She was so happy to be reunited with her friend once more. Eli caressed her hair as she cried her eyes out, Maki and Nico getting teary-eyed as well.

"Huuuuh? Maki-chan, are you crying?" Nico said to the redhead, trying to hide her own small tears by facing away from her.

"I-I'm not! You look pretty teary-eyed yourself!" Maki pointed at the small senior, and she wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

"I'm not, idiot!" Nico retorted.

Nozomi and Eli laughed, parting from their embrace. They looked at their companions, who smiled back at them in delight. However, being the curious girl she is, Nico asked a dangerous question.

"Why did you suddenly snap at her like that, though? Nico doesn't understand..." The raven-haired girl said, causing everyone to fall quiet. Eli felt an ominous feeling of guilt at the sudden question, and she looked away from Nozomi.

"I also want to know, too." Nozomi looked at Eli with determination. Maki simply played with her strands of hair, and Nico was perplexed at the sudden seriousness the group was showing. Eli looked back at Nozomi, who was sporting a very serious expression, unforeseen from her.

"...I'll discuss this with you girls after class in the Student Council Room... I'll tell you everything there." Eli announced in a commanding voice. The atmosphere was filled with a sinking premonition, before getting interrupted by the school bell ringing. They could see waves of students going inside the school grounds, almost on cue.

"Well then... Let's head to our classes." Eli said as she walked ahead of the group. Maki quickly followed, sticking her tongue out to Nico, who hid behind Nozomi's back in response.

"Jeez... That girl always gets on my nerves!" Nico said infuriatedly, crunching Nozomi's uniform with her hands.

"Calm down, Nicocchi... Let's just go to class." Nozomi said, and Nico nodded, trailing behind her best friend closely. They both headed inside the building and into their classroom together.

It wasn't long until all the teachers entered their respective classrooms, signaling the start of the first period.


Nishikino Maki started putting away her textbook and school supplies inside her desk as soon as the bell rang, and she walked outside. She wanted to see the blonde as soon as possible. Taking a turn at the flights of stairs, she walked up to the third floor, heading for the Student Council Room.

Opening the door slowly, Ayase Eli was sitting on the table, holding a guitar case between her arms and looking at the cold sunset outside the window. Maki sighed and closed the door, surprising the blonde.

"Maki? What are you doing here?" Eli asked, putting the guitar case aside in a swift movement.

"I wanted to know how you were doing." Maki answered honestly, setting her school bag aside and walking towards Eli, taking a seat on a chair next to the table. She stretched her arms and let out a sigh, looking at Eli with her violet eyes.

"So, is your mind prepared?" Maki asked with her usual attitude, making Eli look down in worry.

"I'm not sure… This is the first time I've talked to anyone about this." Eli said with a sorrowful expression. Maki placed her hand above Eli's, and looked at her face from below.

"Just remember that I'm here with you, in case anything happens." Maki assured her in a sweet voice, and the blonde smiled back at her.

"Thank you, Maki." Eli stared at the redhead for a few seconds, before hearing the door open once again. The twintailed girls entered the Student Council Room, one after another. Maki quickly retracted her hand from Eli, and she looked at the expected guests.

"We're here." Nozomi said first as she walked towards Eli, who stood up from the table and faced her. Nico followed after, staying behind Nozomi's back the entire time, taking notice of the scarlet-haired girl sitting nearby Eli.

"Why is she here?" Nico asked in an irritated voice, making Maki retort in offense.

"Why are you here? You don't have anything to do with this." Maki said, feeling annoyed at the small senior's presence.

"You don't have anything to do with this either!" Nico answered back at her, getting stopped by Nozomi in the progress.

"Now, now… Let's just listen to what they have to say, okay?" Nozomi asked the raven-haired girl with a sweet tone, and Nico complied. She stayed quiet for a few seconds, and Nozomi faced Eli once again.

"Now… I'd like to hear your story, Elicchi." Nozomi said with determination. Eli nodded and took a seat next to Maki, with Nozomi and Nico following suit. Taking a deep breath, Eli began to speak.

The tragic story of Ayase Eli began.
