《ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴡᴀᴠᴇs》Lunch at the diner
Advertisement
Chika and You stepped into a small, but nice, retro diner. It even had a jukebox, which was playing Footloose. You looked around the dinner until she saw a familiar face waving at them, signaling for them to sit down. Chika still hadn't talked much, but at least she had stopped looking down at the floor so much, unlike what she had done when they left her house. They made some small talk but not much really happened other than that, You didn't even try to make some stupid You to make Chika laugh. At that moment, all that she could think about was the kiss.
But now wasn't the time to think about that. They were here to have fun, and maybe to get Chika's mind out of whatever was bothering her. They walked towards Kanan and took a sit. Not soon after, a waitress came by and handed them the menu. All of them ordered burgers with fries with a strawberry shake, but unlike them, Chika asked for coke.
"Seriously? A strawberry shake? What kind of monsters are you?"
"For your information," Kanan responded "it was quite common to dip fries into milkshakes."
"Yeah, it was. Emphasis on was. You gotta be some kinda freak to mix fries with something similar to ice cream."
"I'm with Kanan on this one." You butted in.
"I swear to I'm gonna kill you two one day-"
"Yeah yeah, that's great. But what happened to your hand?" Kanan asked as she pointed at Chika's harmed hand, now covered with bandages she and You had gotten on the way to the restaurant.
"Ah, that was.. I accidentally broke a picture frame." Chika said, with a nervous laugh. She technically wasn't lying, she had just omitted certain parts of the truth. She knew that if she talked to Kanan about what happened she would freak out and think she was crazy. Not only that, but if she found that about that kiss You had given her earlier she would've questioned her like crazy. It was one of those things friends did. They wanted to be up to date on everything regarding their friends' love lives, or at least that's what Chika thought. Maybe she'd tell Kanan about the kiss later, but not when You was around.

"Pft, I'm honestly not surprised. You can be quite the clumsy type at times. But seriously, be careful. You can't just go around harming yourself like this!"
"I will, I promise." Chika answered, letting out a sweet smile.
"You! Stop complaining and be patient! I'm sure our food will be here in a minute. Plus, it hasn't even been that long since we ordered it. It's only been about 15 minutes." Chika nagged You.
"But I'm hungryyyy! If I don't get my food soon I'll attack someone like an angry gorilla." She said while tugging at Chika's shirt, afterwards banging her head against the table.
"Why are we even friends.." Chika sighed
"See? This is what I have to put up with every day at work."
"You know you love me. Who wouldn't love me." Chika and Kanan raises their hands as soon as they heard her hungry friend.
"I feel attacked and I now I wanna die." She answered with a pout on her lips, using the most dramatic voice she could. "Oh, food!" Seeing the waitress come over them with their orders on the tray immediately made her face light up.
"How to make You Watanabe happy 101." Kanan said, smiling at her silly friend. "And to make her even happy add a Chika along with the food." She whispered, making sure only You could listen, and it made the silver haired girl choke a little on her milkshake.
"Hey, you okay?" Chika asked, sounding slightly concerned.
"Yeah, I'm good." You answered, blushing a little. She looked at Kanan who was simply smirking and gave her a wink.
Once they had finished lunch, Kanan said she would go over to the library to meet another friend, leaving You and Chika alone.

"So.. walk me home?" Chika asked.
"I thought you'd never ask." You said, pulling her arm out for Chika to hang on to in. For a moment, it seemed like Chika was hesitant to grab her friend's arm, but decided to play along with it. Of course, You was pretty pleased with this result.
They had been talking about random stuff until You decided to finally discuss the kiss with Chika.
"About what happened earlier.. you know, the kiss.." her hands were sweating a little and she felt little butterflies in her stomach. She wasn't the type to fall for someone easily, but it was obvious that she had started to fall for Chika, even if she herself had a hard time admitting it. She didn't wanna get her hopes up, Chika could be straight or just not interested in You as anything more than a friend.
"A-ah! That.. it's fine, don't sweat it, I mean, you only did it to stop me from crying, right?"
And although You answered that it was the only reason why she had kissed her, it was a lie. Of course it was a lie. Everything started out like a normal friendship, but at some point, she started to have odd feelings towards Chika. She was aware of this, she was bisexual. Heck, maybe even pansexual. But she never imagined she would fall for one of her friends. The outcome of this kinda of situations are usually a disaster.
"I'm glad you're okay with it then. I was afraid you might be weirded out or something."
"Hey, if I had been weirded out, I wouldn't have gone to get lunch with you guys. It's okay, just leave it."
"Moving onto another subject tho.." Chika continued, "wanna go out together anytime soon? I realized that even though we're friends, I don't really know that much about you, and you don't know that much about me so.. I don't know, I thought it'd be nice. It's a bit silly, isn't it?" She said embarrassed.
And with this, You jumped onto her and hugged her. She was just too adorable to resist. And even though You knew she was probably throwing herself into the line of fire, she accepted the offer. Who wouldn't wanna get to know their crush better? And who could reject a "date"-(she knew it wasn't date, but she liked to think of it like that)- with someone so grumpy yet lovely?
"Don't get too excited! You're gonna end up asphyxiating me!" The orange haired girl said, trying to get her friend off of her.
"Sorry, just got a little excited." You smiled at Chika, making her heart skip a small bit.
Chika hadn't gotten this feeling since then, and it was kinda scary, but at the same time, she didn't want the feeling to go away. It made her feel alive. And soon enough, she found herself smiling too.

Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**
