Ava hadn't thought she'd bump into Yukimaru, but bump into her, she did, flooring them both.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyEZzHNtz4
She winced when Yuki started to get up, readying herself for the smack upside the head she thought was coming, "Huh?"
"That's what I should be asking." Yuki remarked sitting upright, "What are you running from, anyways?"
"Nothing...just running...I figured since we haven't mobilized to track down the green haired girl, we had plenty of down time." Ava shrugged and continued, "So I was about to run home and take a run with Coco in the park."
"Hmm," Yuki pressed a hand to her back and grunted, "sounds nice-"
"Do you want to run with us?" Ava asked excitedly.
"Huh?" Yuki started to understand the quickly fired question when Ava spoke again.
Ava looked hopefully at Yuki and started again, "Me and-"
"Yeah, yeah...could you-" Yuki waved the back of her hand at Ava, Blue's eyes widening as she remembered where she was.
"Sorry about that!" Ava jumped back and helped Yuki up, smiling brightly as she didn't let go of Yuki's hand.
"U-um...letting go of my hand sometime today?" Yuki thought the nickname for her energetic friend, "Lil' Blue." deciding not to stick it to the end of her question.
"Y-yeah, sorry, I just...um, d-do you like dogs?"
"Huh...yeah, dogs are good." Yuki smiled.
"G-great...then you could...tag along?" Ava fidgeted, waiting for Yuki's answer, when Yuki slid her palm over Ava's and tugged her along. Ava felt like her jaw could hit the floor if it wasn't set on it's hinges right, and her cheeks were bright red as she gazed up at Yuki's blue eyes, "This is like a dream come true!" she internally squealed, startled when Yuki's cheeks went from pink to pale the instant a sharp pain erupted from Ava's forehead.
"Blue, are you okay?!" Yuki pushed Ava's hair aside and winced at the mark left on the girl's forehead, "I can't believe you just let me walk you right into the door like that!"
"I'm fine, honestly!" Ava assured, feeling her glasses to make sure they were okay, and somehow, they did survive the impact, "I'm glad you're worried about me, though!"617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYlG66g7Pc
"Yeah, well...you need to...not space out like that." Yuki remarked halfheartedly, "Better not let her know...I was spacing out, too...she's alive for now...but will it always be that way?" she turned to Ava, who was now happily rambling away about something, Yuki couldn't imagine the girl ever being silent for a moment, "Probably talks in her sleep, too."617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFMfRalklv
Yuki smiled at the thought, a part of her wished Ava would never stop talking, another just wished silence wasn't atypical to Ava's nature, "I may not be able to to keep her alive...but I'll give this everything I've got! And if maybe...I was just seeing things wrong...I won't worry her about this, no point in-" 617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoqWjC2EZ9
"Hey, Yuki, watch out!" Ava ran her hand over Yuki's forehead, wincing at the mark that the door left on her forehead, "And you said I needed to be careful!"617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcKtIIZiRX
"Y-yeah." Yuki rubbed her sore head and agreed, "I also called you Blue." 617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBic29S4NL
Ava gasped as she realized Yuki had given her that nickname, her head just hurt too much back then to recognize it, "I-I see."617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesx9Q9MWe7
"Don't like it?"617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM5EP3f0Ph
"N-no, I love it!" Ava pushed her glasses back up on her nose and cleared her throat, "Just a bit hard to get used to is all...as is holding your hand."617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSicPo1OCjn
Yuki silently agreed with a nod, and the two managed to avoid anymore run-ins with open doors for the day, as a bonus, being at the park with Ava and Coco banished the memory of what she would see later; she found herself smiling the entire time they were there.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf2cswsIgq
