"How much longer are they going to keep talking?!"
And just as the conversation veered off, discussing their three sizes and even the color of their underwear, Mikoto couldn't take it anymore and unleashed her lightning.
"Ahhh~ the whip of love~"
Kuroko was charred black, writhing in ecstasy as saliva dripped from her mouth. Clearly broken, Yuki's figure had long disappeared, leaving Kuroko alone to receive the punishment.
"Fufu... Don't be angry, Mikoto. We were just sharing a bit of information~"
"Hiii!..."
Suddenly, Yuki reappeared behind Mikoto, both hands wrapped around her waist in a tender lover's embrace. He rested his face on her shoulder and whispered into Mikoto's ear.
Mikoto stopped moving, feeling the gentle breath on her ear, her hair standing on end. This was as sudden as it was exciting.
"Uchiha-san... You... You..."
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): I know you have too many questions, but now is not the time to answer them, so please, play along with me~"
Sending a message through the chat room, Mikoto opened her eyes. This holographic screen in front of her was something that had been sealed, just like the one that appeared in her dreams.
It was so nostalgic that Mikoto blanked out for a few seconds.
*Chu~
Taking advantage of Mikoto's distraction, Yuki tenderly kissed her cheek. Mikoto's head spun as she felt the gentle touch on her cheek reach its peak.
"Hiii?!..."
*Biri-Biri~
Electricity began to fluctuate in her body, sending electrical discharges.
Fortunately, Yuki was no longer holding her, his figure already appeared in front of Saten and Uiharu, holding their hands.
"I'm sorry if I ignored you ladies, but I was so excited to see Mikoto again that I couldn't help it. I hope you forgive me."
"Eh?"
Uiharu and Saten were surprised by how fast this guy was. They were enjoying the show with Kuroko and Yuki joking around when suddenly Mikoto unleashed her lightning, turning Kuroko black as coal. At the same time, Yuki hugged Mikoto, and their intimacy brought jealousy to the duo. They also wanted a boyfriend as tender as Yuki, but before Mikoto could release her lightning again, Yuki suddenly appeared in front of them and took their hands.
"This..."
Saten and Uiharu looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. They also turned their heads to look at Mikoto; after all, he was her boyfriend.
"May I ask for your names, beautiful ladies?"
"Ruiko... Saten..."
"Kazari... Uiharu..."
However, Yuki ignored their expressions and tenderly kissed their hands. This made both Uiharu and Saten blush, stuttering from embarrassment and the audacity of this guy. After all, he was in front of his girlfriend.
"Uchiha-san!!"
Being teased in front of her friends made Mikoto grit her teeth, and electricity flickered around her body. Not to mention, now he was holding hands with Uiharu and Saten, which made her furious.
"Maa~ don't be angry, Mikoto. I was just kidding."
Shrugging, Yuki smiled and brought a hand to his chin.
"Let's change the location; being here is not suitable for us..."
Looking around, the people passing by stopped and enjoyed the show, as it seemed like a scene from a drama where the girlfriend (Mikoto) caught her boyfriend (Yuki) cheating.
"Eh?"
The girls were surprised and instantly understood.
After a few minutes, the group entered a family restaurant. Yuki sat next to Yami and Saten, while Kuroko, who had recovered from the shock, sat next to Mikoto and Uiharu. At the same time, she couldn't stop looking at him, exchanging glances between Yami and Yuki.
It didn't take a genius to know that something was going on between those two. However, no matter what was happening, it was good for Kuroko.
"Onee-sama, that guy over there is a playboy, he's deceiving you."
*Psssshh
Kuroko's comment made Mikoto spit out some of her soda. Mikoto's cheeks instantly turned red.
"Kuroko! Do you really think Uchiha-san is my b-b-boyfriend?!"
"I thought so! I knew there was something strange about that guy's declaration. Onee-sama loves Kuroko, and no one else!"
Kuroko's eyes regained their light, and she instantly hugged Mikoto, turning it into another tragic drama scene.
"Kuroko! Let go of me right now!"
Doing her best to push Kuroko away, Mikoto gritted her teeth. Uiharu and Saten, on the other hand, smiled bitterly. They never got tired of seeing these two, especially Kuroko with her Yuri tendencies.
"Come on, you don't have to deny it, Mikoto. It's okay to feel embarrassed, but denying our relationship so strongly hurts my heart~"
Mikoto and Kuroko's movements stopped, and they turned their heads rigidly. Yuki was there, calmly adding fuel to the fire.
"Uchiha-san... You..."
But before Mikoto could speak, Kuroko again confronted Yuki, placing both hands on the table and challenging him with her gaze.
"Onee-sama already said she has nothing to do with you! Please stop saying nonsensical things that tarnish Onee-sama's reputation!"
"Again with that? Since childhood, Mikoto and I have been a couple, right?..."
Still smiling, Yuki played with the straw in his drink while leaning his cheek on his palm, amusingly looking at the stunned Mikoto.
"Ohhh~"
This was juicy gossip, and Uiharu and Saten's eyes lit up.
With attention gathered towards him, Yuki told his story, a tale of two childhood lovers forced to separate by destiny.
Yuki and Mikoto had known each other since childhood, being neighbors, they got along well, and their parents allowed them to play together. Even in kindergarten, they shared smiles and promised to marry in the future. Unfortunately, the day came when they had to part ways. Mikoto was selected to study in Academy City, but on the day of their separation, they promised that they would be together again in the future.
For years, they didn't see each other, and Yuki worked hard to enter the city and be accepted, all to see his childhood sweetheart again. Finally, he became an esper and could be with Mikoto once more.
Of course, this was all nonsense, but Yuki didn't hesitate to mix fact with fiction. His story moved the girls, even Yami couldn't help but look at Yuki twice. If she hadn't been with Yuki all this time, even Yami would believe this nonsense. That's how good his acting was.
"Hick.... This is... so romantic..."
Wiping away tears, Saten's gaze towards Yuki was gentler, understanding how excited he was initially. She even thought Mikoto was so cruel to deny her relationship with Yuki. This guy worked hard to be accepted and reunite with his childhood sweetheart.
"Misaka-san... You're very lucky..."
Uiharu felt the same way; her gaze was warm as she looked at both of them, thinking they made a good couple.
"..."
Only Mikoto had a wry smile on her face; several veins pulsated on her forehead. Yuki was so audacious to invent a story where he was the hero and she the villain for denying their relationship. It was as frustrating as it was ridiculous. She really wanted to punch this con artist and unleash her lightning on him, but they were in a family restaurant, and she knew Yuki wasn't easy to hit. All she could do was grit her teeth and glare at him in anger.
However, the story was effective. Kuroko was in shock, a small ghost figuratively escaping her mouth. She had barely known Mikoto for a year, and they had lived together for less than six months. Their relationship was not something to be discussed openly. Yet, her 'boyfriend' turned out to be someone who had been with Mikoto since childhood. This fact left her speechless.
The time she spent with Mikoto was nothing compared to a childhood friend (boyfriend).
"Onee-sama... Onee-sama..."
Tears streamed down Kuroko's eyes, and she clung to Mikoto.
"Waaaaa! Onee-sama, tell me you won't leave Kuroko! Please don't leave me! Kuroko loves Onee-sama!"
"Kuroko, let go of me right now!"
With her face covered in tears and mucus, Kuroko hugged Mikoto again, creating another dramatic scene. This pair of girls had the ability to turn any place into a theater.
