It was the first time in a long time that Michi could remember being sober for a homecoming or for any school event really. She hadn't really been feeling so hot; tired, sore, achy, and all of that on top of the fact that she hadn't been able to play quodpot was just making her miserable. She was growing, she felt almost exponentially, it would only be a matter of time before people noticed if they hadn't already. She was wearing uncharacteristically loose clothes lately to hide her belly. Empire waist and baggy sweaters had been her wardrobe, she was usually proud of her body but she was sort of falling into a pattern of shame. She was surprised no one had said anything.
Tonight she was determined to have a good time though. It didn't matter that things were going to change and that before end of the year exams she would be a mother... tonight was tonight, not thirty weeks from then.
She snuck over to her girlfriend and stuck a red rose behind her ear before placing a kiss on her cheek.
