Beauty In The Water (Kirizono Fanfic) Mermaid Au #randomshipchallenge

7) The cafe 'date'

The two sat inside the cafe kyoko mentioned prior. A bead of sweat dripping down Sayakas face smiling nervously. Kyoko casually lifted up her cup of coffee.
After a few minutes kyoko broke the silence. "Theres no need to hold your tongue your free to ask questions." Questions? Oh..

"Uh didnt you already have coffee back at the beachhouse?" She nervously asked. She was more worried about the vague response she might get back in return. Or what may come up in the conversation the two would have in this half empty cafe.

"Indeed i did. Is that an issue?" Kyoko said while a slight smile was there, though it was hard to catch. Sayaka was relieved. "So.." she poked her pointer fingers together. What should she bring up first. The mermaid part? The her ex boyfriend breaking up with her part? The Kyoko knowing more than she's letting on part? She didnt know. Though the thought of her ex-boyfriend.. though she really wanted to enjoy her time here with Kyoko.

She had to shake it off.. lets avoid that for now.. at least.

There was something else on her mind. "When you first went into the ocean.. what happened to your clothes?" She stopped pressing her fingers together and held them in place. Kyoko sat her cup down once again and held her hands together with her elbows off the table. Sayaka took notice of this, her table etiquette that is..

"They're at the bottom of the ocean." She said as if there was nothing. A blank stare followed from Sayaka. "To elaborate, i already had my top portion of my swimsuit on before hand. So once i walked in deep enough. I took off my shirt. So it's probably just out there somewhere."

Sayaka was going to question why she didnt just bring the shirt back with her but before she could.

"Clothing restricts my movement underwater, losing one shirt wont cause harm." Followed from Kyoko. Almost as if she could read her mind.. was she also psychic?! Was what raced through her mind.

"But anyways.. we should talk about something more important. I dont want to beat around the bush." Kyoko flipped a strand of her hair from infront of her face. And Sayakas thoughts were once again laced about her boyfriend-

ex boyfriend..
ex boyfriend.
She still wasn't used to this new title placed upon him.

"Im usually one to stay out of situations like this. But this situation wont change much if i don't intervene. At this pace it seems no one will speak up." She seemed irritated.

"Makoto Naegi isn't entirely guilty. I suppose. Have you noticed his strange behavior?" By strange behavior if she ment leaving at night, and being distant then yes. Sayaka knew exactly what she was talking about. Seems right about the basis of cheating in movies.. seems too bland to be true.

"Well Byakuya Togami, has also been disappearing during the night. He also happens to be.. Like me."
Sayaka griped her arm. "What do you mean disappearing during the night?"

No. The least she wanted to hear was Makoto leavibg her for something like Togami. She wouldnt say this outloud. But togami was an uptight snoody bastard who lets his power cause a huge superiority complex. And Sayaka. Lets say she wasnt a fan of it.

"I mean what i say. Leaving his room during the night. And despite the fact he is like me. We aren't exactly the same. But i wont elaborate that here. The basis is. Without the proper time for a very throughout investigation. Byakuya Togami and Makoto Naegi may be caught up in something people of my kind call a bond."

A bond? A bond? She really didnt want to hear much more of this. She could feel the scorching heat in her hands. The tenseness of her facial muscles. She was trained to maintain calm and collective especially in public. It was a habbit now. Not being able to properly show how angry, jealous, afraid, lost. She was. How much she was hurting. It was foreign. Shes the Ultimate Pop Idle. Thats her job..

A bond. With context clues she didnt need to hear much more to know the magics at work behind that. Probably what merfolk call a relationship. She didnt want to hear it. No. She was done. She abruptly stood up. "Ill have to cut this short. If youll excuse me..." she said while walking out the cafes door. Leaving her untouched iced tea at the table. Though Kyoko kirigiri wasnt all that surprised. No. She wasnt. This was to be expected. Breakinf news to people like this isnt very easy though it was apart of her job.

Sayaka Maizono thought that maybe this would be a nice outing for the two to get to know each other better.

Kyoko Kirigri sat there drinking her coffee. Analyzing the events of the twos short time at this cafe. Wondering if she could of been less.. straight forward. But harsh was the word she was looking for.

Did not reread for mistakes. Will correct later.
