"I...I'm so sorry, Tsubaki." Noel pleaded the poor girl looked as if she were mere moments from bursting into waterfall-like tears! Yes she had grown more confident thanks in part to Tsubaki but at the same time she had just caused her beloved friend to blow up in weight, how much she wasn't sure she didn't want to think about it really.
Lucky for her the redhead noticed her worried expression and while it was clear she was still in some slight shock Tsubaki knew she had to be the bigger woman here, the terrible pun thankfully flying pass her, Noel was still the more emotional of the two and it would break her heart whenever she saw the blonde with some kind of negative expression.
"There there" Tsubaki started off slowly hoping to keep the dam that was those emerald eyes of Noel in place and not let any tears make their escape, especially if it was because of her.
"I'm surprised is all." Tsubaki explained in as calm a tone as she could muster at the moment.
"Really?" Noel asked questioning her if she wasn't upset and how she should have explained the after-effects better. The blonde clearly still putting some of the blame on herself.
"No this was my doing, Noel."
Tsubaki wasn't about to have Noel blame herself. The blonde gasping slightly as Tsubaki placed her pudgier hands on the smaller girl's shoulders.
"No matter the outcome you did me a great kindness, Noel, I still have my sight because of you so what if I've grown a size or two larger I can lose that somehow...I can't afford to ever lose my sight..."
The two locking eyes with one another it was obvious what Tsubaki's words had meant the blonde blushing in adorable fashion as she muttered the redhead's name, eyes closed with a joyous smile on her lips same for dear friend and for a moment it almost appeared as if they would...
*GROWL!*
Their eyes snapped instantly open Tsubaki releasing Noel from her gentle grip the two momentarily looking away a heavy flush on their cheeks born from the sheer embarrassment at what had just occurred.
Noel wishing she still had her beret so she could cover her entire face with it she simply couldn't believe she was a moment away from possibly sharing a kiss with Tsubaki! Speaking of Tsubaki she was unsure if to wither thank or complain to her softer stomach for keeping her from doing something potentially crazy with Noel.
"I'm sorry!"
The two said simultaneously causing the mood to lighten somehow as they fought the urge to now laugh with one another choosing instead to chuckle lightly.
"I'm sorry Noel I really didn't expect that to come from me." Tsubaki stated apologizing although what "that" meant remained unclear, was she speaking of her gut or her heart...
"It's okay, Tsubaki" Noel smiled that smile that made the redhead smile in quick response, "Why don't we go get something to eat, huh. My treat!"
"Oh Noel I couldn't ask you to pay for us both."
Given her new size the redhead certainly didn't want to impose when it came to the price of a meal.
"Oh it's okay. Makoto paid me back and a little extra from this one time I lend her enough to pay up her drinking tab. I still remember she said she didn't want to get her fur wet washing dishes."
Yup that sounded like their nutty squirrel of a best friend as they once again shared in brief laughter.
"Alright but I promise I won't overdo my share of food." Tsubaki stated giving her word that she would not become some sort of greedy glutton. With her hat now back resting at top of her red locks of hair she took Noel's hand in hers, the two blushing a tad bit again, as they made off for whatever eatery they could find.
