It had been two days since that talk at the diner and Mikoto was still reeling. Thankfully with the theater event and a rash of petty crime Mikoto had plenty of spare time to contemplate her feelings, which initially began with denial and the overwhelming frustration over the impossibility of the situation.
The brunette kicked a stray pebble as she walked through the park. She sighed heavily as she observed another couple walking the opposite way ahead on the path. In her attempts to determine more about herself Mikoto tried to discreetly figure out whether she found the guy or the girl around his arm more attractive. But the only thing that was accomplished was the comparison and ultimate decision that Kuroko was better than both.
Watching the path disappear beneath her feet Mikoto reflected on her avoidance of Kuroko the past few days, mainly due to her inability to control herself around the younger teleporter. However in the past two days, her newfound feelings were anything but wavering. In fact they seemed to be stronger and clearer than before.
As Mikoto continued down the path she sighed. A few things had become abundantly clear. She wanted to see and be around Kuroko more than any of her other friends. And... Thinking about that made a very strange fluttering warmth burst through her chest. I... I really do like her...I don't know what to do anymore.
A sudden terrifying but magical idea came to Mikoto. She still needed to go to the theater one more time, and...there was still a certain movie... Mikoto's pulse quickened at the thought of asking Kuroko out...on a date.
Coincidentally Mikoto's aimless walk had led her to a familiar vending machine. "Heh...Fancy seeing you here" Prepping up a kick for a free beverage Mikoto nearly fell over as Kuroko called to her a few feet to her side.
"I thought you would come here if you were avoiding something." Kuroko said, her voice strangely soft.
Strangely everything Mikoto had tried to prepare for this moment disappeared and she was left with a stomach of butterflies and anxiety.
"B-before you say anything, I… I'm sorry Onee-sama. I-if I went too far this time I never meant too. I just… with how you've been avoiding me." Kuroko stumbled over her words, sadness evident through every syllable. "I-if-
"Willyougooutwithme." Mikoto suddenly nearly yelled unable to let her friend continue in her obvious distress.
"W-what?" Kuroko asked, partially out of shock and partially out of the inability to catch her beloved's garbled words.
"I-I said….Kuroko, will you go out with me tonight? L-like a….date." Mikoto suddenly breathed, she was sure her face was redder than she could remember but…. There was a wave of relief and happiness that was already spreading through her being.
The teleporter was completely silent as it appeared that this was the one situation she had not prepared herself for. After a moment her face began to redden while her eyes began to swim with tears of happiness.
"ONEE-SAMA!" She yelled out jumping into a hug before dissolving into a laugh. "Yes!"
As Kuroko said those few beautiful words, Mikoto's chest suddenly burst with warmth and comfort. Even as embarrassing as that was, the brunette wondered exactly why she hadn't done this earlier, because this…. This just felt right.
AN: Alright, sorry that took so long, on top of electronic problems I had a few problems in my own life that made writing fluffy things a bit...difficult... but I hope this is a satisfactory end to such a fun to write story. And have a wonderful rest of your day!
