"Stop it right there!" Maki, Nico, and Eli could heard someone else voice, shouting. Someone they knew very well. A purple-haired girl tied in double low ponytail with turquoise eyes opened the door and now walking toward their direction.

"Nozo…mi?" Eli looked surprised, didn't really understand what her best friend trying to do. No one let out a single word, they only watched the purple-haired girl walking closer to them.

"I'm sorry Maki-chan, but I don't want hold back anymore." Nozomi stopped in front of the three. She looked at Maki, took a deep breath and then she shifted her eyes to Maki's side.

"Nicochi, I love you."

Nozomi could see Nico was surprised by what she said, not only Nico but everyone. She realized that it was reckless of her to say something like that right now, but she was only following her intuition. Her cards told her that if she didn't do it right now, she would regret it later. She herself never imagined that she would confess to Nico, because she knew that Maki was in love with the raven-haired girl. But then, again and again her tarot reading said that she should do this in order for everyone to find happiness.

"Wha‒ what?!" Nico finally reacted, her face was red.

"Should I repeat myself? Nicochi, I love you."

"Bu-but how can?!"

"How can, I wonder? Anyway…" Nozomi walked closer to Nico's direction. She placed both her hands on Nico's shoulders, pulled her closer and drawing her own face closer to Nico's.

"Wai‒ Nozomi, wha-what are you doing?!" Nico asked nervously. Nozomi didn't answer her though. She kept moving her face closer to Nico's didn't care that Eli and Maki were still there. She stopped when their noses touched each other. Nico looked straight at Nozomi's turquoise eyes. She could see her own crimson reflected in it. She realized what Nozomi trying to do but because she still surprised by Nozomi's sudden confession, she couldn't do anything. Nozomi starting to moved her face again and Nico could only shut her eyes tight.

Before Nozomi's lips touched hers, she suddenly felt someone grabbed her hand and dragged her away from Nozomi. When she opened her eyes, she could see the person who dragged her.

"Maki?!"

"Elichi?!"

At the same time, both Nico and Nozomi were pulled by Maki and Eli. Before Nico could say anything else Maki who Still grabbing Nico's hand walked outside and dragged her along, leaving only Nozomi and Eli in the rooftops.

"Maki, where are we going? Hey, Maki!" Nico asked the red-haired girl in front of her who still dragging her along while walking down the stairs. She didn't answer Nico's question and just keep walking and looked forward. Nico watched her from behind, trying to take a glimpse of her face.

Is she angry? But why would she?

They kept walking until finally Nico realized that they were heading to the clubroom. When Maki opened the door, she could see no one was there. She assumed that everybody has left already. After they went inside Maki let go of Nico's hand and then she locked the door.

"Ma…ki?" Nico looked at the younger girl while tilted her head in confusion didn't really understand the meaning of her action.

Maki turned around to face her. She walked to Nico's direction and suddenly hugged her tight, making the older girl confused more.

"Maki?!"

Maki still didn't answer her. She kept hugging Nico for awhile. Silence fell between them. Nico decided that she wouldn't say anything more and so she waited for the red-head explanation. When Maki broke their hug, finally she looked Nico in the eyes and opened her mouth.

"I'm sorry Nico-chan I lost my composure back there. I just… don't want anyone else to touch you. "

Even without anymore words being said by Maki, now Nico understand what she was trying to say. Maki fidgeting in front of her, looking at Nico right in the eyes and started to speak again.

"You know Nico-chan, I‒" Before Maki could say anything else Nico silenced her with her lips. Nico could feel that Maki's body tightened because of surprised, but she didn't reject her. Instead she returned back the kiss. It was a soft and gentle kiss. After their lips parted, Nico looked at the red-haired girl in front of her. Now, her face and ears was red like her hair. She tried to cover it with her hands.

"Maki-chan, if you're looking this cute I really can't give you to anyone else you know." It's now Nico who hugged Maki tightly.

"Wha-what are you saying stupid Nico-chan! Let me go!" Maki tried to resist.

"Do you really want me to let you go?" Nico loosened her hug and looking mischievously at Maki.

"S-stupid…" Maki slowly hugged back the raven-haired girl while turning her face aside, trying to hide her reddened face.

Eli who still didn't realized what she was doing, tightened her grip on Nozomi's hand.

"Elichi, you're hurting me…" Nozomi said looking at the blonde.

"Ah! I'm sorry Nozomi!" Eli finally back to her sense and immediately let go of Nozomi's hand. After realized what was happened she then shifted her eyes to the direction where Maki and Nico leave.

"Elichi, are you okay?" Nozomi said worriedly. Eli didn't answer her, she kept staring blankly at the door. After awhile she turned to face Nozomi.

"I'm okay. As I thought, she still loves Nico after all… I guess I have lost huh?" Eli said while forcing a smile, even though tears could be seen on the corner of her eyes. Nozomi couldn't help herself. She pulled Eli closer and hugged her, making the blonde surprised.

"No-Nozomi?!"

"It's okay if you want to cry Elichi, after all there's only the two of us here. No one else will hear you." She whispered in Eli's ear while stroking her back. After that, Eli's tears began to flow and Nozomi could hear some sobs coming from her. She just kept stroking Eli's back, trying to make her feel better. After several minutes Eli finally stopped, and Nozomi break her hug.

"Feeling better now?" Nozomi asked.

"Hmmm, thank you." Eli nodded and smiled. "What about you?"

"What about me?" Nozomi asked hee back.

"Didn't you love Nico?" Eli was now confused by Nozomi's question.

"Oh you mean that confession before? It was just a play~" she said playfully.

"Eeehh?!"

"My card told me that I have to do that." She smiled to the blonde.

"B-but, w-wha…" Eli let out a sigh, didn't expected that to come at all.

"Speaking of which Elichi, when I was about to kiss Nicochi why did you stopped me?" Nozomi asked the blonde.

"I don't know, I think I did that unconsciously. Somehow it really irritates me when I saw that will you kiss someone else…"

"Oh my, does that mean that Elichi want to be kissed by me?" Nozomi grinned slyly.

"Wh-what?!" Eli's face immediately reddened.

"Ahaha I'm just joking Elichi!" Nozomi couldn't help but laugh, amused by the younger girl reaction. After she stopped laughing, she opened her mouth again.

"Elichi, do you remember when I said that I fell in love with you from the first time we met? Honestly it's not a joke. Since that day you introduced yourself, you always have been on my mind. Even before when I confessed to Nicochi, I really afraid that you might not stopped me. But then again I believe that Elichi and I isa surely meant together. Your hands that stopped me were the answer, that deep down you don't want to lose me." she said to the blonde with smile on her face.

"Geez, where does all that confidence come from?" embarrassed Eli turned her face from Nozomi to hide her blushing face.

"Call it, women intuition?" Nozomi smiled.

After awhile, Eli turned back to face Nozomi. "I still have to recover from this feeling I have for Maki first, are you sure you want to wait for me?"

"I have waited for you to realize about my feelings for three years now, so I don't mind another year or two~"

Eli let out a sigh. "Nozomi, you really are a weird person." she smiled to the purple-haired girl.

"But you like me, right?" Nozomi smiled back lovingly.

"Nico-chan, I think that we should return to explain things to Eli and Nozomi." Maki said to the smaller girl.

"I guess you're right." Nico replied.

They walked back to the rooftops, hands intertwined. When they opened the door, they could see that Eli and Nozomi were still there like they were purposely waiting for them. Eli looked at Nico and Maki's holding hands and an awkward silenced fell between them. They released their hands. Maki was the first to speak breaking the silence.

"Eli, I'm sorr‒"

"You don't have to say that." Before Maki could finish what she was trying to say, Eli cut it off. "I have known from the start that you love Nico, but then again I do love you and I want you to know that. But I guess your love for Nico is bigger than my love for you." Eli smiled and then she shifted her eyes to Nico. "As for you Nico, please take care of Maki from now on."

"Leave that to me." Nico replied with another smile. After that she looked at Nozomi and opened her mouth "Nozomi, about what you said earlier…" it's now Nico who tried to apologize.

"Ah you mean that confession? You don't have to think about it, I was only joking~" Nozomi grinned.

"What?!" Nico and Maki said at the same time.

"I did it on purpose so that Maki-chan realized that she still loves Nicocchi and so that this dense girl here will finally realize something really important." Nozomi looked slyly at the blonde.

"She really tricked us back there wasn't she?" Eli let out a sigh. "Anyway, congratulations to you both." Eli said to Nico and Maki, making the two of them blushing.

"Well then Elichi, should we head home now?" Nozomi asked the blonde and get a nodded as the reply. They walked out of the door, when suddenly Nozomi turned around before she left Nico and Maki alone.

"Ah, Nicochi and Maki-chan, don't forget that you still have practice tomorrow, so please refrain yourself from tiring your body too much okay?" She said while winking one of her eyes, making Nico and Maki's face blushing furiously.

"Wha-what are you saying, Nozomi!" Nico shouted to her but the latter already out of their sight. "Geez, that Nozomi!" Nico muttered to herself. Now, there's only the two of them there, and because of what Nozomi said earlier the atmosphere between them seems a little awkward.

"I-it's getting late! we should head home too." Nico said awkwardly.

"Y-you're r-right!" Maki stuttered.

They accidentally looked at each other and suddenly they burst out laughing.

"Ahaha Maki-chan what a weird face you make!" Nico pointed at the red-haired girl while holding her stomach.

"Same goes for you Nico-chan! Haha" Maki wipe away the tears that start to formed in her eyes.

Their laughter echoed all over the empty rooftops. After they laugh to their heart content, Nico extended her hand to Maki.

"Shall we go home now?"

"Hmmm." Maki nodded and take Nico's hand with smiled.

They walked home side by side while holding hands. Some things might have changed between them but there is always another thing that will remain the same forever.
