Growing

After having some small talk with her classmates, Rinne watched a group of people on the dance floor. She had become more open ever since meeting Ichinose. But even with all of her growth, dancing still wasn't something that was her speed. Which was okay.

Rinne was just grateful that now she could be able to happily talk with others here at university. She could easily see an older version of herself sit in the corner all alone. Or skip this event entirely if that was an option.

Now she was here having fun, enjoying the music and conversations she could have.

It was time to take a moment to breathe. Going to a table, she sat down and got out her phone. As she saw the LINE app icon, she wondered how everyone else’s day was. Definitely need to send some texts later.

“Hey Rinne!” A familiar voice called out.

“Hm?” Looking up, it was Nayuta. A wide and beautiful smile was across her face. Rinne felt her heart start to flutter. She still wasn't entirely used to these developing feelings.

Rinne had crushes here and there, but Nayuta was different. Her feelings towards her were more intense than any crush she'd had up until now.

They'd spent so much time together at Girls Remix, which made those feelings grow even more with each passing day. One day she’d tell her. The right time needed to show itself first.

“You wanna dance with me?”

She was surprised. Nobody had ever asked to dance with her before. The thought of spending time with Nayuta like that was very pleasant, and she loved the sound of it. It was a shame she wasn't much of a dancer.

“Thank you, but I don't really dance.”

Nayuta reached out her hand towards her, “You can always learn.”

Rinne let her words sink in, and something shifted inside. She was right. Whether it be alchemy or dancing, there was always a chance to learn.

Still growing, still learning. Rinne was grateful that her time in the United Kingdom had only contributed to her growth. It was what she was looking for when coming here to study.

And on top of that—she got the chance to meet Nayuta too.

Possessing a confident smile, Rinne took Nayuta's hand into hers. Enjoying the warmth of her touch, “Let's dance then.”

Both of them ran off to the dance floor hand in hand and proceeded to have a wonderful time together.
