"Come on it'll be fun!" Said Kuriyo!
"Just one round!" Shiroi begged
"If this were an anime this would be the time to play the pocky game!” Yumi then added in.
"I don't know," Miku said as she stared at the pocky box. "It seems a bit… weird.”
“What’re you guys doing?” Hibiki suddenly asked, having been late as usual.
“We’re trying to convince Miku to finally play the pocky game,” Kuriyo explained.
“Yeah she’s never done it,” Shiori added in.
“Hey, Hibiki have you ever played?” Yumi asked. When Hibiki shook her head a devious grin stretched onto the brunette's face. “Oh? Interesting~”
“Then you two should do a round together,” Shiori insisted, catching onto Yumi’s devilish gleam in her eyes.
And before Miku could try to interject Kuriyo went in for the kill, “it’s just one quick game.”
“I’m sure it’s fine Miku!” Hibiki said with a grin. “We can play together even, that way it’s fair!”
“Oh, that’s a great idea Hibiki!” Yumi said, moving to open the box of pocky and sticking a piece into Hibiki’s mouth. “The rules are simple, you hold one side in your mouth and Miku goes for the other side. Whoever gets the bigger piece wins!”
“Sheems eashy,” Hibiki said, carefully speaking so the pocky stick wouldn’t fall out of her mouth.
“Come on Miku, no you need to participate too!” Kuriyo said, pushing the green-haired girl forward until she was face to face with Hibiki. It was just a little game it wouldn’t hurt, right?
“On the count of three. One, two, three, go!”
Hibiki began chomping forward fast, Miku timidly doing the same. Her face was burning. If Hibiki kept moving like that then their lips might touch, right? She’d be her first kiss, wouldn’t that be a bad thing? But, as they moved ever closer Miku wondered if it really would be that. That perhaps it would actually feel quite nice to kiss Hibiki…
The snapping sound of the pocky stick broke Miku from her thoughts, Hibiki pumping her fist victoriously as she clearly had the bigger piece. “I win!” She said, finishing off the stick. “You feeling ok Miku? You kind of froze up there and you’re looking a little red.”
“I’m fine!” Miku said, quickly swallowing her own piece. “I’m just going to go to the nurses to lie down…”
“Here lemme take you there to make sure you’re all good,” Hibiki said, completely oblivious to just why her dear friend might have been so flustered.
As the two girls left Yumi, Kuriyo, and Shiroi watched with knowing smiles.
“Good thing this isn’t an anime, or else those two would have kissed,” was all Yumi could comment.
