A/N - Not a lot of Main Character showing (Tohru , Yuki , Kyo). Focuses on Shizuka and Aide interaction(sorry about the amount of time skips and if this Chapter isn't to your liking).

"..."

Spacing out as school just ended, Shizuka packs up her notes binder into her brown school bag and sighs closing it. Before leaving the classroom, a hand touches her shoulder, and in instinct, the Green-Haired girl turns back to face the figure to see her Pink-Haired Friend. Aide says out loud, visibly heart-brokened

"This is pretty unusual of you. A few days ago you were all having fun with Kagura and I...What happened?!"

Screaming the last sentence, Shizuka covers Aide's mouth and grabs her hand to bring her to the closest bathroom. Right after, she closes the door she scolds as an embarrassed expression comes across her face

"Don't say that out loud! That's embarrasing.."

Sighing, The Pink-Haired girl responds

"I think it's pretty cute. Though I really am worried. You've been acting off these days."

Shizuka stays silent for a few seconds. She then opens her mouth to say

"Yeah. I guess I've..thought over some things for the past few days.."

Holding the shorter figure's form, Aide panics

"You don't like me anymore?!"

After hearing this, the Green-Haired girl says in shock

"W-Wait! I mean-! I still like you, in a friend way of course! I was just thinking about things happening back at the estate and my cousin's house.."

"Ah, Thank Goodness.."

"Wait! What do you mean 'Thank Goodness'?!"

A smile is shown across her face

"Who knows! Not even I know!"

"What am I going to do with you..."

---

"Why are you carrying me?! I have homework to do!"

Carrying the Green-Haired girl out of the school without fatigue, despite some eyes looking at them, she answers

"I'm taking you to my house!"

Panicked, Shizuka asks

"But what about your parents?!"

The Pink-Haired girl laughs

"They're abroad at this time, so it's all fine!"

Sighing in relief, Shizuka remembers

"Are you going to put me down or what?"

"Nope! You might run off. So I'm taking extra precautions! Besides, my house is nearby."

Sighing again, now in embarrassment, the girl holds her school bag close to her as the Pink-Haired girl carries her through the street. Shizuka thinks to herself

"How embarrassing.."

---

Opening the door to the house, Aide puts down Shizuka and removes her shoes. The latter figure does the same. Following the taller figure, the other figure says

"Now that I think about it, this is only the second time I've visited your house."

Sitting down on the couch placed in the middle of the living room, she hears a response
