Nom the Nui

“Fuuka, Fuuka, look! Mine came in today too-” Elea stopped, her green eyes filled with confusion as she tilted her head at her housemate. Fuuko’s usually bright amber eyes were clouded with an emotion Elea couldn’t quite identify as she clutched the Kaoru nui to her chest, slowly walking into the living room.

“Fuuka? Is everything ok?”

“Huh? Oh, Elea! Everything’s fine, it’s just… this nui…”

“Hm? What about it? Is something wrong with it?”

She looked over Fuuka’s shoulder to peer at the Mayoi nui in her hands, wondering if it was somehow damaged. Yet, the nui seemed fine, save for the fact that Fuuka seemed determined to squeeze it to death.

“No, nothing’s wrong with it. It’s just…”

“Just…?”

“Well… Doesn’t it make you want to bite it?”

“What?”

“Look at it!”

At Fuuka’s urging, Elea stared at the nui Mayoi before turning her gaze to the Karou one that she held in her hands. Brown eyes looked back at her, the stitched smile seeming innocent as Fuuka’s words lingered in her mind.

“Well?”

Green eyes met amber as she lifted her gaze, feeling somewhat dazed.

“...For some reason, it makes sense.”

“Let’s do it.“

“What?”

Elea stared in shock as Fuuka lifted the nui closer to her lips, her own grip tightening on the Kaoru nui.

“Nobody’s gonna know.”

“... They’re gonna know.”

“How would they know?”

With that final question, Fuuka bit down on the side of nui Mayoi’s head, her eyes sparkling with delight in amusement. After a brief moment of hesitation, Elea bit her own nui, a strange sense of satisfaction filling her when suddenly…

“Sorry we’re late, we brought all the groceries as promised!”

“Kaoru-san… I envy your ability to walk in so confidently to a place that isn’t your own- eh?”

Mayoi rubbed his forehead as he stepped away from Kaoru, confused by the sudden stillness of his friend.

“Why did you-?”

His turquoise eyes looked over Kaoru’s shoulder, confusion intensifying to bewilderment at the sight in front of them. Elea and Fuuka stared back at them, a blush deepening on Fuuka’s cheeks as he met her gaze. Elea was staring at Kaoru, a hint of pink dusting her cheek as they all stood where they were.

Kaoru was the first to break the standstill, his confusion mixing with affection as he placed a hand on his hip, his head tilted in amusement.

“...What are you guys doing?”
