Pulling away, no longer feeling her breath on your skin - it had had an frosty freshness, mixed with the smell of berries coming from the flavored ice. Unable to help it, you giggled a little. A delightfully feminine sound that surprised you when you heard it. Silvery and bubbling. Not really having listened to your voice before, was that what you sounded like now?
You always cringed a little when listening to recordings of your own voice. While in this world, perhaps millions will listen to you singing on stage. So would you, doing retake after retake to find the best one to put on an album or training for a performance. Had to find a way to live with that. Feeling a sudden urge to talk, just so you could listen more to your voice, to explore it.
"Be more careful in the future, Usagi-chan." Still having that pearly laughter. "Even if you'd make a pretty frozen statue." Twisting a finger around a lock of her straight hair, Kuromiya nodded, looking away, but continuing to wear a faint smile while you chided her. Coming out more as teasing. "Although maybe I could put you on display and charge for it. Any plans for the future?"
"I hope to become an id-idol one day, no-not that it's very likely... sensei is always... umm, but thank you for worrying about me, Sato-chan." An idol? The goddess had planned for this meeting. Probably were enrolled in the same school aboard the Stellar Maestro.
"Her farseeing knows no bounds." The F.A.I.R.Y added, leisurely swinging her legs from her perch on your shoulder. "Checked her public information, but ask anyway. Heh, know you want to."
"Same for me," that got her attention, realization dawning in her widening eyes. "as your kohai I hope you will treat me well Kuromiya-senpai." Not catching the rest of her changing expression as you bowed your head.
"..."
"Something wrong?"
"...You should fi-find another school. I don't want Sato-chan's dream to go to waste." There was an edge that you found that didn't you like.
"No way!" So you would refuse to listen. "Not until I've sung together on stage with you, Usagi-chan. After first hearing you hum the tunes to the songs that's what I wanted to do. A duet. In a group. Doesn't matter, so long as I can sing beside my friend."
"Really...?" Her voice softened, becoming clear again while her eyes did the opposite. "Pr-promise me to stay then. I-I want to hear you say it. Th-then I-I will do my best too."
