Chapter 3
So Yu and Shin brought Snowy home with them and said to her:
"You mustn't tell the guys we're officially together yet."
"Not a problem. Just for you two. You tell them when you're ready. Don't let me stop you."
"Thanks." They both kissed her on each cheek.
"Sutarifimono-Chan!" Shin called. Snowy got confoosed.
"Sutarifimono-Chan...?"
"Strify's nickname."
"It's a bit... long, isn't it?"
"Yeah but... oh never mind. Aah, Strify-san. You say you needed a girlfriend oder?" Shin said.
"Yeah, why?"
"Well... this is Snowy." He introduced her to him.
"Wow, they're right, you ARE hot!"
"Shin..."
"What? Speaking as a bisexual... you are hot."
"Errrm... thanks. Anyway, nice to meet you Snowy. How did you meet Yu and Shin?"
"Well, someone decided it would be funny to rugby-tackle me into their picnic..."
"Ooooh-Kay. Random, but hey, welcome to the world of Bizarro. Enjoy your stay."
"Oh I will." Snowy said with a slightly evil smile. Strify smiled back with the same evil smile as they shook hands.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh my Gosh! You guys have Guitar Hero! Awesome-some spanglyness-ness-ism-philia-thing!"They all laughed at this made-up word.
"What? I say that often, FYI."
"Nothing wrong with that, it's just funny!" Strify replied.
"Just like' Bom Chicka Wah Wah' then?"
"Yeah, I suppose." Strify and Snowy laughed. There was a silence. They looked each other in the eyes, moved closer to each other, and Snowy said:
"You have beautiful eyes."
"Thankyou, so do you."
"Thanks." Another silence. They were still standing close to each other, amintaining eye contact. It seemed to last an eternity until Strify looked away.
"WooHoo! I won the staring match, go me!" Snowy said, in an attempt to make a joke out of the discomfort in the room. Strify laughed at this joke nonetheless.
"Thankyou, I'll be here all week." Snowy continued this joke. The chemistry between them was uncanny. Strify jumped onto the bed, seeing as they were in the bedroom. Snowy took this as a hint.
"You trying to tell me summat?"
"Like what?"
"Well..." She jumped onto the bed with him, and took his hand. "I like you, Strify. I like you a lot. Maybe you might be telling me that you like me too...?"
"Mayyybe. So... let's get to know each other better, yeah?"
"Sure."
*hours later*
Snowy and Strify were still alughing and joking, and generally getting along like any friends would.
"... and the Irishman said 'My son was born on Shrove Tuesday so I called hin Pancake'!" Snowy finished her joke, which was very funny thankyou very much. They laughed and joked a bit more for a while, then Snowy took his hand again, looking into his eyes. They did another staring match.
"This isn't a rematch is it?" She asked.
"No, I just like looking into your eyes. They're so blue.. Let me take your glasses off." She did. And he smiled.
"You're smiling that 'yay' smile. Like you've done something you've always wanted to." Snowy said.
"Yeah, well I wanted to see the true beauty of your eyes, with no obstacles." He replied. She just smiled. Another silence filled the room. Snowy moved closer to Strify so she could hug him, and he took her into his arms. They felt the same 'let's stay here forever' feeling as they hugged and eventually fell asleep in each other's arms.
Chapter 4
*next morning*
There was a knock on the bedroom door that woke Snowy up. Shin entered.
"Snowy?"
"What?" She said, still half-asleep.
"Time to wake up. I'll leave you to wake Strify."
"Uh." She grunted. And Shin left. She put her glasses on after about 5 minutes of frantic blind searchage.
"Strify." She shook him and poked him for another 10 minutes, and he still didn't wake up. So she tried the gentle approach; she kissed him gently on the lips. Sod's Law dictated that this would work, and guess what? It did; he eventually woke up!
"Wassup?" He said, still half-asleep.
"We gotta wake up. You look so cute when you sleep, you know that?" She replied.
"Uh... how long you been awake?"
"About 15 minutes. Usually-" She yawned "- I don't appreciate being woken up before having had my full 11 hours sleep but what can you do?"
"11 hours? That's too much." Strify was more awake now.
"Not for me it ain't." She replied. They had a little make-out session to fully wake themselves up.
Meanwhile...
Yu was playing kiss chase with Shin, and chasing him around the living room into the kitschen area and into all the different rooms. Luminor and Kiro were getting annoyed by this AND the fact that Strify and Snowy hadn't yet surfaced from the bedroom.
"Why does love make people so juvenile?" Luminor asked.
"I haven't a clue but let's join in for fun!" Kiro briefly kissed Luminor on the lips. They both jumped when Yu shouted "GOTCHYA!" and started making out with Shin in the kitchen area. Shin baltantly made no attempt to resist Yu so that make-out session wasn't gunna end anytime soon. By this time, Snowy and Strify resurfaced holding hands.
"Aww, look! YuShi love!" Snowy said.
"Yeah, ain't it sweet?" Strify joined in with Snowy's 'aww-ain't-that-cute' thing.
"Aww, look, possible Lumiro love too! You two should so get together, that way we can all be happy together!" Snowy said. She was obviously happy.
"Wow, you two seem happy."
"Well, I personally haven't felt this happy in about two years. I thank YuShi here!" Snowy said.
"You're welcome!" Yu and Shin both said in between kisses.
"Come on guys, there's a time and a place for everything but right now we have to go." Strify announced. So they all made to leave.
*in the car, going to their next TV appearance*
Yu and Shin were making out - again, and Snowy said to Strify:
"Awww. And to think I gave them the courage to share their first kiss."
"Really? I thought you said you got rugby-tackled into their picnic?"
"I did, but then we started to have a little chat - well, I rambled at them more like - and gave them a little pep talk, let's say. So they kissed."
"Aww. You're sweet."
"Well I do try." Strify and Snowy kissed again.
*15 minutes later*
"We're here, let's go!" Snowy had to leave the car first, somewhere away from the studio so nothing looked suspicious. She walked the rest of the way to the studio and was amazed to have been let in with no questions asked. All she had to say was "I'm with the band".
*During the interview*
The interviewer, whose name was Klaas, asked them about their love lives; whether they had girlfriends and the like. There was quite a lot of throwing off to do.
"We're all single because we have no time for girlfriends." Strify answered.
"Yeah, but we always have time to meet new people and make friends but relationships take commitment and long-distance relationships are naturally doomed to fail unless you have regular contact and regular meet-ups." Yu continued.
"Or if you pick up a girl and let her live with you then maybe a relationship could work, no?" Kiro said. Klaas seemed to be eyeing up Snowy, like he was saying 'You're the girl they're referring to aren't you?' and she looked back at him as if to say 'Even if I were I wouldn't tell you.' Klaas took Snowy by surprise by asking her to join in the interview.
"So how did you meet these guys?"
"Well, it was an accident really..." She started to tell the story about how she met Yu and Shin in the park, being careful so as not to say anything that might get her into trouble.
"So which one of these guys would you have as your boyfriend given the chance?"
"Well... I naturally have a soft spot for singers so it would be Strify."
"What do you mean, a 'soft spot'?"
"Well... everytime there's a new band out there that I like I tend to go for the singer. Dunno why, I just do. Y'know the term 'soft spot' sounds kind of wrong when you think about it."
*After the interview*
"Snowy, you never told me you were such a good liar."
"What makes you say that?"
"That thing about singers..."
"Oh, I wasn't lying, I was just saying that to throw him off the scent that we're together."
"aaah, sneaky much?"
"Not at all." They kissed again. Thankfully they were in the car on the way back to the WG.
