Author Notes: Thanks to Kianna for the beta. :)
The first time Hiari Momo met Myoui Mina she had a piece of food hanging out of her mouth. She stopped mid chew when the slender girl with short brown hair walked by. Her movements were so graceful and precise.
Almost instantly Momo knew Myoui Mina had to be a ballet dancer. How else could such poise be explained? This certainly didn’t apply to Momo who stared at Mina with wide eyes and sauce dribbling down her chin from the food not chewed yet.
“Hello,” Momo blurted out with a mouth full of food. She desperately tried to chew and swallow the food as quickly as possible.
Mina paused, a smile slowly making it’s way to her lips. “Hello.”
“I’m Momo. Did you just start here? You look new.” Finally Momo managed to swallow the rest of her food. Her stomach growled in protest but the food could wait-- for a bit.
“Mina. I was recently accepted here on a ballet scholarship,” she said. “I’m actually late for class but I’ll see you later?”
The last part clearly was a question but Momo didn’t want to get her hopes up. Still best to answer because not answering would be rude. “My major is actually hip hop but there’s always the possibility as we share a general education class.”
“Can I have your mobile? I’ll text you my number and then we can sort out any possible shared classes later.”
Momo blurted out her number. Her heart started to beat a little faster when the phone buzzed, indicating that she got a text message.
“Bye!”
“Bye,” Momo choked out.
Once Mina was gone Momo yanked out her phone and quickly moved to unlock it. Fingers trembled while punching in the code but Momo eventually put in the correct numbers.
Call me soon, k? I wanna hang out soon. U seem cool. (*^3^)
Momo held back a squeal. From the text (and added emoji) it gave the sense that Mina was flirting with her. She was interested in more than friendship and somehow Momo’s body language and gestures told Mina that she did like girls.
The only problem is that Momo had no idea how she sent these signals to Mina. Looking back at the interaction Momo only saw herself as a nervous, bumbling wreck while trying to chat up a pretty girl.
Later that evening when Momo and Mina did meet up. Mina reached her hand out and laid it on Momo’s. The action shocked Momo so much that she nearly choked on her coffee. Apparently it was too much to ask to play it cool around Mina.
“So my flirting worked?” Momo asked nervously, drawing a laugh out of Mina. Though she looked more confident than Momo, her cheeks were tinged a light pink and hand lightly trembling.
“Yes. It was very effective.”
“I… I think that’s the first time that ever worked. Either I come off too awkward or the girl is straight.
“I’m far from straight.”
Momo’s eyes lit up as she tried her hardest to suppress a giggle. “Well now that, that’s out of the way… what’s your favorite color?”
She wanted to know everything about Mina and she found out a great deal that night. Not very surprising considering that they talked for two hours until nearly closing time.
The never evening Momo waited for Mina to finish ballet practice so they could go get a quick cup of coffee. Watching Mina dance instantly blew Momo away. She became mesmerized by the graceful movements which were more evident in her dancing.
“Momo?”
Momo snapped out of her daze and saw Mina standing right in front of her, hand moving towards Momo’s shoulder. She didn’t even realize Mina finished her dance practice.
“You are a great dancer.”
Mina smiled another shy smile. “I'm sure you're just as good. Can I come watch your practice tomorrow.
“Of course!”
When Momo moved to stand up, Mina leaned down in an attempt to kiss her. Their heads bumped together, causing Momo to wince in pain. Still, Momo wasn’t deterred. If anything she was determined.
“Try again?”
Mina’s response was a nod followed by a kiss-- that didn’t cause any sudden headbutts. Honestly, Momo preferred her kisses that way.
“So coffee?” Mina asked.
“And food?”
This caused Mina to laugh.
“Yes.”
Momo loved that Mina appreciated her love of food. They were going to work out just fine.
