How You Get the Girl [Miku & Hanako]

She tried to sort of catch her breath. For god's sake, Hanako take a break, you are the adult after all. The fact that Miku asked her if she could call her mom because it was so heartwarming and loving to her so she wanted to say so much. She wiped away her tears and smiled at the blonde. Yes. This was good. The next question Miku followed up was the same as the previous conversation. She thought about it for a second.


"Well Miku, that depends what you want. Do you want to try this more? I can give you a suggestion of what I think is best."

Which was the best thing she could think off, protect her. The girl seemed to be lost and heartbroken and that's why she decided to say what she could. She liked the boy but what it in the world was a good excuse to not see her not even for five seconds in such a long time. So she gave her the advice and waited to see what Miku would say, she did not post, she did discuss it and did not try to push her opinion.


"I do want to point out that texting is not really respectful but well it's difficult to speak to him when you don't meet. So you should write the following."


Hanako let the girl type for two reasons so she could see the actions of what she was doing and if she did not want to say it, she was in charge to change it. 
Telling you this over text is wrong and I would not mind to talk to you about it in person. But I could not find another way and you know why. But I think we should end our relationship. I hope you understand that I can't wait any longer and for myself, I decided to do this. 
And Hana said to sign it off the way she wanted to do. What was normal for her. But to not say I am sorry. She had nothing to apologize for and if there was one thing it would be because of the message coming over as a text.

There were so many words, yet there were never words when it came to heartbreak, it would hurt, it would feel like shattering, breaking, butchering and so many more things. She wasn't sure if she knew exactly how it felt because she did not dare to let someone come close enough but she would just... she would just protect Miku, that was all that she could think about. "I am not saying there is no hope. I would never know, I can't take a what-if feeling away from you, sweety. But I would give up if I were in your shoes after four months." It was maybe not the nicest to say, and it was really not pretty when a heart breaks. But she did not want to make it nicer and gave the girl false hope. Yes, maybe there was no hope, what would happen after four more months? Would suddenly everything be alright? Would he make up for it and what would that even mean? How could you make up for basically ditching someone for so long? 

She took the cellphone from the girl but first put it on the table, the writer knew her words anyway and would be able to take it back, she just said soft shushing sounds to Miku and pulled her closer again, "It's not fair, I know." She did not want to say the cliche words, but she had to, wasn't that her task as a mother, "It will be okay, you will be fine." She was here, her dad was here, Haruuhi would be there. It was no task for a girl like her to sit on the couch with her parent to cry. "Do you want to send it together or do you want to give him some more time?" She did not have to send it, she would be able to wait but that would not solve the heartache. That would not solve the question of what had been or was wrong with her. There was nothing wrong but a girl her age, Hanako remembered all too well when she was fifteen, Nanami, only two years younger seemed to do everything right and Hanako kept wondering and wondering...

What's wrong with me? 

Maybe she was too harsh and direct. It was not fair to either of them, they were children. Yes, the world still wasn't fair but that did not change the fact that they were children. Which was only proven by Miku asking her to not be brutal. As if the girl knew who she was talking to. "Of course." That maybe meant she should change a bit about what she first had in mind and typed it in on Miku her phone. Obviously she would ask the girl somethings more and showed it to her before she would sent it. The text now saying:

Considering we barely see each other. I think we should break up. But I rather talk to you to see if we could fix this. Please meet me Sunday afternoon at 12 at PJ.


Hanako believing that Pink Jackal being a better neutral territory than school. She could always come home to them after that. Once it was sent depending on Miku, Hanako took a sip of her drink. "You know what you need, hot chocolate or just chocolate." Which was hopefully met with a positive answer as the mom in waiting felt like chocolate herself .Hopefully they still had some. "We could also try and make a chocolate milkshake." She wasn't sure if Miku was waiting for a distraction or not at this case. Because it would not be fixed and she was sure as hell that the boy would reply, the question was: how fast and what. That would mean she should stay around Miku for now but she really did believe, or maybe her hormones did, in the power ot chocolate.

She half felt bad for taking the phone and send it. However if she read the girl her body language correctly, an answer was absolutely was necessary and she refused to let her now-daughter heartbroken if it was up to her. So Miku was the opposite of Hanako when it came to breaking up, duly noted. She remained seated because of that. She will send G to get her a milkshake if he would be in the kitchen at one point. She looked at the girl and worried about Miku very much. Before she could comfort the girl who turned away from her, Hanako heard a beep and stare at the phone. Oh now he could reply, fantastic. She was glad she did not say it out loud though. "Shall I?" She asked Miku before she would take the phone and check the message. 

She made a tch sound with her lips when reading it. "Well Akio says he wants to talk about it first and that he would be there." She said to let Miku know, "You don't have to answer sweety. You do have to consider for yourself what you want." If this happened once it would happen again Hanako thought. She would sit close to the blonde in case she wanted more hugs because Hanako was totally up for that as there was nothing she could do else. She was slightly afraid that Akio would walk over her and push his opinion on her and not let Miku make a decision for herself but maybe she was doing that as well. This was the point that the woman realized it was best to not tell G just yet. Miku had to make the decision herself and she had about 16 hours for that. 

Protection. It was something she had not had as a child. She has not understood how much people meant to her until it was too late. Damaged. Broken. It did not matter anymore, the fact that she understood that she would try to do anything within her power to make and keep Gil happy made her understand a bit better but she still felt that she was very bad at it. Because the woman was keeping secrets for the most important person in her life. Good secrets. Bad secrets. Things that needed time so ruining it could not happen, but who made Hanako the decision maker? Why did she call the odds of when it was right and when it was not? Why did she think that she could make the right decision for Miku when it came to her boyfriend. Maybe.. Maybe boyfriends at that age were just shit in general. She did not know, there was no research for that. What did it matter she now had taken the task to protect the girl that asked her to be her mom. She has never been touched like that before or well maybe not entirely true but it was definitely in her top 3 maybe even top 2. 


"What you should do? Darling I wish I could write you down a step by step plan of what you could and should do, but I cannot do that. I can give you the most stupid, cliche but honest advice and that is listen to your heart. Just for yourself, no one should influence your anwser. Not me, not your father and also not Akio. I would suggest to keep your distance. To see and listen it is not bad to say you need to think about it. It is understandable when you are heartbroken and need time whatever decision you make. As long as you have peace with it. With your decision that means you don't have to have peace with the outcome." Man she felt like a philosopher but she meant it, she wanted Miku to make the right decision. She wanted the girl to break up with the guy who took no effort to meet her for four months and now could text back in seconds. It was only not her decision to make and even if she wanted to say so much that she would know what she would do if she was in Miku her case. She did not. It was always far too easy to talk, when it was not your problem.

Because her words might need time to find their way to Miku to get the girl to understand, it also might be highly possible the girl would not understand because maybe you only would be able to understand the language of your heart once it broke. She just pulled the girl as close as she could, holding one arn loosely around her and without the black haired woman noticing, she hummed for the two of them. Just a calm melody and just enjoying the moment. It was a shame that the conversation wasn't the nicest but their bonding and Miku calling her mom made it not that bad.


She told herself that when she caught up with her work she would do something fun with Miku. That meant she still had time to figure something out. She wished she could be there for her talk to Akio but that would make matters worse and wrong so all she could do was sit here and hold her. Answer every question Miku could come up with still. She would worry on for the next few days. Why was the urge for a chocolate milkshake unstoppable? Time to text her fiance upstairs to do so, so she could stay with Miku
