( as the song began to come to close, finally hitting that final bridge, it truly dawned on nana just how she had been holding the hand of this girl. less than seven months ago she would have never fathom holding the hand of a girl for this long, so willingly and yet it was a nice and familiar sensation she hadn't felt in ages. sure she had kissed a female fan or two here and there, all part of the act of building a fanbase. it was manipulative in a way that nana herself had regretted doing.
this? this was far from that. there was no manipulation on her part of trying to win mai over more than just proving she was talented. this was her way of gently trying to chip away at the ice queen mai seemed to be and even if she wouldn't say those words, she could only hope they formed some kind of connection.
before she could ruminate on that sensation, idyllic thought, the song finally came to end with one final 'all the boys get the girls in the back' and nana is left breathing heavy, face flushed with excitement. she never gotten this focused on a song she didn't write, a song that by all means was ridiculously silly and yet—
surprisingly hit close to home. she was in a band with nothing but men herself, seated in the back and watching as they all enveloped themselves in new relationships with the women that so happened to be nearby and easy accessible. from yasu to miu, shin to reira, and nobu with whatever new tart was able to replace hachi. it was a bitter feeling she had but she deserved it too didn't she? to make a new friend or perhaps something more.
yet before she could truly turn to face mai [this mai], she was already dishing out such a reserved compliment, causing nana to burst out in laughter, still holding onto her hand. she nearly bent over in laughter before tears of joy pricked at her eyes. )
Are you bullshitting me?
( with their hands now free, she turned to face the food that had arrived—
but she wasn't done yet. )
I'm more than 'not bad', I'm fucking amazing. I even handled that weird American rapping with ease!
