What are we?

"So are you gonna get up or are you just going to stay in bed all day?" Kimo had been woken up by Saki hours ago and she had called in sick deciding to stay at Kimo's, making her breakfast to repent for yesterday. Kimo didn't understand why she was doing this but she was not one to complain about free breakfast and more time with Saki. She was not aware of what kinda relationship the two had but it felt like more than just a friendship, too afraid to bring it up with Saki she decided to just stay mum.

Saki later came in with a plate full of food, eggs, bacon, and rice. Kimo quickly ate it all as it was the first time she had eaten real food. She had spent the last month living off of prepackaged meals and snacks.

As Kimo ate, Saki just stared, trying to get her back for what Saki had said at school the day before Kimo decided to remark "See something you like?"

Saki didn't even flinch responding "what if I do?" smiling happy with Kimo's reaction as her face had gotten bright red and she had started eating faster, obviously flustered.

This just made Kimo more confused about the entire situation they were in, They had gotten way to close in the past few weeks, only knowing each other for such a short amount of time. Finally, she decided to speak up about it

"Hey um- Saki," Kimo said flustered unsure of what she was about to say.

"Yes?" Saki said aware of Kimo's visual nervousness.

"What is this? What are we doing? Why are you so nice to me?" Kimo was about to break into tears.

Saki confused and not wanting to make anything worse said "what do you mean what are we? Were friends, good ones" Saki hoped this would make the situation better, but it seemed to make Kimo feel even worse as she buried her head into her pillow. Saki had no idea what to do, she had never seen Kimo like this so she just hugged her as tightly as possible, at first Kimo tried to squirm away but over time she sank into Saki finally turning around and putting her head into Saki's chest.

"What wrong" Saki finally asked.

"everything," Kimo said muffledly still having her head in Saki's chest

"what do you mean everything, tell me I don't want to see you as this" Saki whispered desperately.

"It's... I.." Kimo was at a loss of words, what would happen if she told Saki the truth? of how she thought that they could be something more?. "you have to promise you won't leave me" Kimo said shuttering.

"I promise" Saki replied confidently.

Kimo trusted her and knew she would never lie to her so she decided to come clean, she described everything, how she thought they were more than friends. How she was the nicest person she had ever met and how she thought she was feeling this way about her because she didn't know how to feel. It was because she had never had a real friend that she had these feelings for her. She didn't want to lose Saki and didn't ever want Saki to let go of her.

Saki was understanding as always, and just sat there and listened as Kimo explained it all, mostly shocked but not in any way mad. She finally understood everything and now she was the one who thought their heart would burst.

Trying to make light of the situation Saki tried another one of her remarks "So you think your in love with me then"

It was silent, for a moment Saki thought she had really done it this time, but in midst of her fear, she felt Kimo's head nod.
