You sighed as you took a seat silently at the large table. You sat where you were told to, not because it was your girlfriend who told you to do so, but mainly because everything inside this house mansion looked so very expensive. The draft that drifted sleepily through the open window toyed with your (h/c) hair. Annoyed at this, you brought your hand up to smooth it over and flatten it back out so it didn't look messy. You usually didn't care much for appearances, but whenever you came to hang out with Mugi, you felt like it was important to look your best. You weren't rich or anything, but just by hanging around Tsumugi, it was pretty easy to tell that her family was.



Your attention snapped back to reality when you noticed the beautiful blonde haired girl pouring some tea into the cup sitting on the table in front of you. You noticed Mugi was wearing a loose, light blue dress that went down to her knees. It suited her very well. She smiled her usual pretty smile when you nervously mumbled a thank you. After she poured some tea for herself, Mugi took a seat next to you.

"It's such a pleasure when you come over for afternoon tea, (f/n)-kun." Mugi started as she took a sip from her tea. Nodding back as you reached out for your cup, you noticed your hand was shaking. Quietly willing it to stop before your girlfriend noticed, you replied.



"It's very nice when you invite me over. I hope it's okay with your parents." After she placed her cup back onto the table she hastily shook her head.



"Oh yes, of course! It's always nice to have people over. Usually you have to book any visiting a month in advance, so to be frank, I'm very surprised that father lets you come visit without any warning." Clutching the beautiful tea cup with a floral pattern on the side, you slowly brought it to your lips and happily took in the hot liquid inside. It tasted really good, just like all of the tea Mugi prepares.

"Wow, this tastes even better than your usual tea, Mugi-chan." You gave the light haired girl a smile when she blushed at your compliment.

"Thank you (f/n)-kun…" You stole a glance behind you, noticing her eyes light up when she looked past you and smiled. Spotting a tall male with a clean tuxedo on and a smile on his face. Noting that he was a butler, you instantly sat as straight as you could. You tensed all over and tried to appear as natural as you could when he put two plates down in front of you and Mugi.

"Here you are my lady. A slice of cake each, for you and your boyfriend." Mugi waved her hand around, embarrassed slightly.

"Oh, thank you!" The butler gave a quick bow before exiting the room.



Your mouth watered a little when you saw the slice of strawberry and cream cake sitting ever so beautifully atop this plate. Lying delicately on top of this delicious throne of sponge cake was a perfectly ripe and juicy strawberry. Hearing your stomach rumble, you shook your head and forced yourself back into reality when you noticed Mugi offering you a fork.

"Oh, thanks." You accepted her offer with a sweat drop and turned back to the heavenly looking cake on the table. The cake looked so tasty, but you could not wait to eat that strawberry. Clutching the fork tightly in your hand, you could feel yourself shake when your girlfriend took a small bit of her own cake to eat it. Licking your lips, you slowly moved your hand forward, deciding to conquer the red fruit atop first. The best part of the cake. Your stomach growled once more in anticipation as your fork was nearing the strawberry. And then it dropped.



You only saw a flash of silver and light skin and then it was gone.



The strawberry was gone.



Panicking a little, you turned to Mugi, whose hand was over her mouth as she chewed on your strawberry intently. Eyes snapping to her cake, you noticed her strawberry was gone also. She planned this.

"Mugi!" Her voice was muffled as she spoke with her mouth full.



"Whaf isf it, (f/n)-kun?" You took in a deep breath and attempted to compose yourself. Mugi's sapphire-blue eyes sparkled as she waited for you to reply. This wasn't like her usual self. Mugi was very well behaved and mature so you never expected her to do something like steal the strawberry off of somebody's cake. She obviously wanted something and was trying to provoke you. You just had to figure out what. Looking up, you noticed Mugi was staring at you intently. You mumbled a little, threatened slightly by her glare.

"Dammit I wanted to eat that strawberry."



Feeling a blush quickly spread across your cheeks as you leaned closer to Mugi, you heard a slight gasp escape from her lips. As you moved forward a little more, you closed your eyes and kissed her. She didn't move back or try to stop you. Squeezing your eyes shut tightly, you could feel Mugi lean into and put her hand on your shoulder. You savoured the feeling of Mugi's soft lips pressed up against yours. Suddenly realizing you were out of breath, you broke the kiss and took a large, exaggerated breath. You looked up to see Mugi staring the other way, her face a bright red. Your face became hot again as you licked your lips.



Strawberries. Success. Is what it tasted like. You felt yourself smirk, when you saw Mugi's mouth moving.

"-ted.…" Raising an eyebrow, you leaned back into your seat.

"Pardon? Did you saw something?" You questioned. The blonde girl turned to you and stared at you with her intriguing, bright blue eyes.



"That's not what I wanted, but that's okay too."
