How to Handle a Nico: Reconstructed Reunion

Primary Pairing: NicoMaki Side Pairings: TsubaHono, NozoEli Words: ~3.1k Rating: K+? T? How does heavy drinking rate these days? ╮(︶▽︶)╭ Time Frame: Late in Maki's 1st year and Nico's 3rd year in college. Story Arc: Stand Alone

List of all HtHaN scenes

Author’s Note: Yes, yes, before anyone says anything, I am aware that yet again I have Honoka pushing for a µ’s reunion. However, I did make mention of this fact as early as when I wrote HtHaN 3. In the world of HtHaN, Honoka is one of the main driving forces behind keeping µ’s together after disbandment. Not that anyone in the group particularly wants to drift apart, but as someone who has personally lost touch with old friends due to time, distance and life situations, I know how quickly a year or two can go by before realizing that you haven’t so much as sent a txt to someone. As such I fully intend to continue using these reunions as plot devices when I need them. ^_^

NishikinoMaki: So, Nico-chan and I have something important to tell all of you.

NishikinoMaki: Sorry to do it via chat and not in person, but we decided it was too important to let it wait.

NishikinoMaki: Nico-chan and I are together now.

NyaCat: you mean you werent before?

SonodaUmi: I believe what Maki is trying to say is that she and Nico are dating.

ARISEfan1: you mean they werent before?

LittleBirb: Congratulations, Nico-chan and Maki-chan!

RiceQueen: Yes, congratulations! I wish you both the best!

SpiritualPower: It’s about time…

NicoNii: Shut up, Nozomi

ARISEfan1: i still dont really get it

ARISEfan1: i honestly thought you two were dating for a while now

ARISEfan1: but if were celebrating it we should totally have a reunion!

SonodaUmi: You’re always looking for an excuse to have a reunion, aren’t you, Honoka?

ARISEfan1: reunion! reunion!

NyaCat: reunion!

Elichika: I’m free this weekend.

SpiritualPower: As am I.

ARISEfan1: yay!

LittleBirb: Umi-chan and I can make it this weekend.

RiceQueen: Rin-chan and I as well.

NyaCat: reunion!

SpiritualPower: And the guests of honor?

NishikinoMaki: I can be free either Friday or Saturday evening, but the other I need to study.

NicoNii: Saturday works better for me.

ARISEfan1: say if were all going as couples do you guys mind if i bring tsubasa-chan with me?

Elichika: Of course not, the more the merrier!

SpiritualPower: Have her bring Anju and Erena as well if you want.

RiceQueen: A-RISE is going to be at our reunion?!?!

NyaCat: hahahaha!

NicoNii: Calm down, Hanayo. We haven’t even asked them yet.

SpiritualPower: You’re one to talk, Nicocchi.

SpiritualPower: I heard you just now in the other room.

NicoNii: You’re here?!

SpiritualPower: I’ve been home all morning.

SpiritualPower: Were you too distracted by Maki-chan to notice?

NicoNii: Shut up, Nozomi

NishikinoMaki: I left a while ago and I’m on my way to class.

NishikinoMaki: I don’t get it. What are you talking about?

NishikinoMaki: How could I distract her if I’m not there?

NicoNii: Nevermind, Maki-chan

SpiritualPower: I’ll explain later, Maki-chan

NicoNii: Don’t you dare!

SpiritualPower: ^_^

NyaCat: you spent the night at nico-chans?

SpiritualPower: It’s not the first time.

NicoNii: Nozomi, you know for a fact we just slept.

NishikinoMaki: Isn’t that normal?

LittleBirb: Perfectly normal, Maki-chan.

Elichika: Don’t mind them, Maki. They’re just teasing you.

NishikinoMaki: Wait

NishikinoMaki: Do you mean you think Nico-chan and

ARISEfan1: tsubasa-chan said they can all come!

NyaCat: thats nyamazing!

RiceQueen: Do you think they would mind if I brought some things for them to sign?

ARISEfan1: i doubt it

ARISEfan1: theyve signed all of my stuff

NicoNii: I’ll bring some of my stuff too then.

SpiritualPower: By “some” you mean “all”, right Nicocchi?

NicoNii: Of course!

NicoNii: Well, just the things I’ve bought since the last time they signed my stuff.

NicoNii: Yes, I can hear you laughing.

NyaCat: say where did maki-chan go?

NyaCat: she sent like half a sentence

NyaCat: thats not like her

SpiritualPower: She’s probably too embarrassed to respond.

Elichika: And whose fault is that, Nozomi?

NishikinoMaki: I’m fine.

NishikinoMaki: I’m in class now.

NishikinoMaki has left the group

NyaCat: i dont think shes actually fine

NicoNii: I’ll check up on her when I see her after class.

SpiritualPower: Don’t you have class as well, Nicocchi?

NicoNii: Yes, mother, I’m going now, geez.

NicoNii: Yes, I can still hear you laughing.

NicoNii: You know, if we’re going to keep living together, we need to find a place with thicker walls.

NyaCat: why dont you move in with maki-chan?

NicoNii: I’m not going to move into the dorms of a school I’m not attending, Rin.

Elichika: Just a thought

Elichika: But since it’s all couples now that will be at this reunion, why don’t we dress up and go somewhere fancy instead of just karaoke or Maki’s parent’s house?

SonodaUmi: Like a large group date?

Elichika: Something like that.

RiceQueen: That sounds like fun.

LittleBirb: I know just the place!

LittleBirb: The company at which I had my internship holds small events at various places.

LittleBirb: They said if µ’s wants to use one of them, they can help set things up for us.

ARISEfan1: that awesome kotori-chan!

ARISEfan1: lets do that!

NicoNii: So it’s been decided that the theme of the reunion is a group date.

NishikinoMaki: What the heck? I don’t get it.

NicoNii: An excuse to dress up, I guess.

NicoNii: Aren’t you excited to see what cute dress Nico wears this time?

NishikinoMaki: You’re not going to wear what you wore the other day?

NicoNii: Nope!

NicoNii: Nico has something even cuter than that!

NishikinoMaki: I thought that outfit was cute though.

NicoNii: Such an honest Maki-chan!

NicoNii: Nico is shocked!

NishikinoMaki: Idiot.

NicoNii: You like it.

NishikinoMaki: Maybe.

NicoNii: Are you going to wear your outfit again?

NicoNii: I thought that was pretty cute as well.

NishikinoMaki: I already gave it back to my RA

NicoNii: Maybe she’ll let you borrow a new one?

NishikinoMaki: Maybe.

NicoNii: Worth a try

NicoNii: Didn’t you say she said she had plenty of outfits that would make my eyes bug out?

NicoNii: Well that first one did just that

NicoNii: Let’s see what else she has!

“Back again?”

“Yeah… Sorry…”

“Don’t worry about it! What’s the occasion this time?”

“A reunion.”

“A µ’s reunion?”

“Yeah.”

“So, don’t you need something more… idol-like for that?”

“Oh no, no, no. We’re not performing. We usually wear normal clothes. But this time, Eli wants it to be something like a group date, I guess.”

“Aahhh, I see. Well, I have just the thing!”

“Ughn…” Maki groaned as a shaft of light fell across her face.

She moved her hand up to cover her eyes before opening them, but it did nothing to block the throbbing pain in her head. Why… pain…? Her thoughts were blurred as she rolled onto her back in an attempt to escape the evil light.

Oh, that’s right… the reuption… reum… re-something-or-other… the party thing. What did Kotori call it? The big group date? No… wasn’t it Umi that called it that? Not like it matters… it still hurts… why does it hurt?

Water…

Russian for water…

Oh gods…

Her eyes snapped open for a second, only for her to squeeze them shut again as the light blinded her. She had challenged Eli to a drinking contest! Why in the nine circles of hell did she think that was a good idea? Hell circles… which one was for pride? Fourth? No… there wasn’t really one for pride. But there was one for gluttony. The third one…? The one with the icy rain. That’s where she was now, the third circle of Hell, designed to punish the gluttonous. Not like it matters… real water was what she needed now. Though if she could drink the rain, that wouldn’t be too bad…

Is this what a hangover feels like? No wonder Nico looked horrible those times… Ughn… Maki dreaded seeing herself in the mirror as she realized what she must look like now.

A sound from beside her caught her attention so she slowly turned towards it. Nico-chan?

Mere centimeters away, Maki’s girlfriend of only a few days murmured quietly in her sleep. Why was Nico in her dorm room? Why was she wearing Maki’s old workout shirt? Not that she minded, of course. Nico looked rather adorable in the worn and faded grey tee-shirt with its stretched collar just barely slipping off her shoulder. Her hair was down, though was it down last night? Maki couldn’t remember.

As much as Maki wanted to just lay there and watch Nico sleep for another hour or so, the throbbing in her head increased for a moment and reminded her to address her hangover symptoms. Rolling back over, slowly, in an effort to minimize a growing sense of nausea, she blinked when her gaze fell on two bottles on her nightstand. Leaning against them was a small, pink note Maki recognized as being from a stationary set Nico had given her recently.

Maki-chan,

If you wake up before me, make sure to drink one of these. The sports drink will help replenish your electrolytes but water is the most important so you can just drink that if you prefer. If you think you can keep it down, you may also want to take the ibuprofen. There’s a bucket on the floor in case you need it, but don’t be afraid to wake me up if you need help getting to the bathroom.

Nico-nii

Maki felt a smile tug at the edge of her mouth as she wondered how many times Nico had to do something like this for Nozomi or Eli.

Sitting up caused a wave of nausea to wash over her and made her briefly consider reaching for the bucket. However, as she closed her eyes and steadied herself, it slowly passed.

“Maki-chan?” a groggy voice asked from behind her.

“Nnn…” was all that came out of Maki’s mouth as she reached for the sports drink.

“How ya feeling?”

“Mhph…”

“Sounds about right.” Nico chuckled as she crawled over to sit beside her girlfriend.

“Ni…?!” Maki felt blood rush to her cheeks as her gaze fell on the other girl’s bare legs hanging off the side of the bed. She swallowed and attempted to find her voice. “I… I have actual sleep shirts, you know.” She managed to force out.

“Yeah, but I like this one.” The raven-haired girl placed a hand on the pink star. “It brings back memories. It’s nostalgic.”

It’s also too short… The redhead diverted her eyes.

Nico noticed the gesture and laughed before hopping off the bed. “Oh, come on, Maki-chan!” She said, turning to face the other girl. “It’s nothing you haven’t seen before when we changed in the club room.”

“Yeah, but…”

“Oh, for crying out loud, we’re going out now. This much is normal.” She put a hand on her hip. “I mean seriously, you’ve seen what Nozomi and Eli wear around our place. Well, more Nozomi than Eli, but…”

“But that’s different…”

“Oh?”

“I’m not dating them. I’m not attra…” Maki mumbled the rest while looking away again and blushing furiously.

Attra… oh. Oh! Nico’s eyes widened with the realization and she felt a little heat rise to her own cheeks. Despite the mild embarrassment, she also felt a swell of pride come with the reminder. Nico was quite capable of boosting her own ego, but it was nice to get a shot like that from someone she cared about.

And with pride and ego came the desire to tease. “Well if Maki-chan wants to see more of Nico, all she has to do is ask.” She smirked as she played with the hem of the shirt.

“T-that’s not…”

A knock sounded at the door. “Nishikino-san? Are you awake?” The RA’s muffled voice filtered through.

Maki’s head snapped around to stare wide-eyed at Nico for a second before the movement made her dizzy and forced her to brace herself or fall back onto the bed. “J-just a moment…” she croaked, though loud enough that it would be heard through the door. With her free hand, she motioned weakly to the dresser. “Third drawer. Pants.” She said quieter.

Nico took the hint, yanked open the drawer and grabbed the first thing she could get her hands on; a pair of red sweatpants. Huh, now it really looks like I’m wearing Maki-chan’s old outfit… I wonder if I could find the hat…

“Come in.” Maki called once the older girl was finally a bit more presentable.

“Ah, so you did stay, Yazawa-san.” The RA nodded toward the raven-haired girl as she stepped into the dorm room. “That’s good. I’m glad Nishikino-san had your support.” She turned to the redhead with a gentle smile. “You look a little better than when I saw you last. Are you feeling any better?”

“Maybe?” Maki replied, as she honestly didn’t remember how bad she felt before.

“Anyway, the fact that Yazawa-san stayed is the reason I’m here.” She produced a sheet of paper. “Technically, you’re supposed to have guests sign in before their stay. But, given the circumstances, if we just date this as though it was filled out yesterday, nobody but the three of us will know, and life will go on.”

“Th-thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.” The RA grinned as she held out the paper and a pen. “Now if you’ll just sign here.” Maki did as she was instructed. “And if you’ll do the same, Yazawa-san.” She handed the page to Nico. “And… if you’ll also sign here…”

A CD case entered Nico’s field of view. She blinked. It was the first single she had released after µ’s disbanded and she managed to scrape together a contract with a tiny production company willing work around her college schedule. While the discs had sold well enough to earn a spot in the top ten for a week or two, this was the first Nico had seen in the hands of a fan. An actual fan. Of Nico-nii.

“Yazawa-san?”

“Of course, of course Nico will sign that for you!” the idol couldn’t help letting a bit of her persona out. “Nico-nii is always happy to sign things for her beloved fans!”

The RA’s smile grew even more. “Thank you!” She said, taking back the case. “Would you be willing to sign my other singles, someday?”

“Of course.” Nico repeated.

“Awesome.” She turned back to Maki. “Holler if need anything, Nishikino-san.” She made her way to the door. “But it looks like you’re already in good hands.”

“She saw me last night?” Maki asked when the door closed.

“A lot of people saw you last night, Maki-chan.”

“Ughn…” the redhead collapsed onto the bed.

Nico laughed as she made her way over the lay beside her girlfriend. “Don’t worry about it too much. I think a lot of them are relieved to see that you’re not just some robot that does nothing but study, attend class and get top marks.”

“…”

“And I’m one of them.”

Maki pouted, earning more laughter from Nico.

“Ah, give it a few days, and most of them will forget. Hell, half of the people who saw you were drunk as well, or at least tipsy. College campus on a Saturday night; everyone is drunk.”

“How bad was I?”

“How much do you remember?”

“Ughn…” Maki draped an arm across her forehead. “I kind of remember having a drinking contest with Eli, but I don’t remember why we started or what made me think it was a good idea.”

Nico giggled.

“What?”

“You were arguing.”

“So?”

“About who was cuter; me or Nozomi.”

Maki groaned.

“And you lost, you jerk!” Nico poked the other girl in the side.

The redhead’s face scrunched in annoyance and she sucked in a breath, but didn’t move away as she feared doing so would have cause more dizziness.

“But I suppose it’s the thought that counts; drinking yourself into oblivion in honor of your girlfriend’s cuteness.” Nico snorted back more laughter. “So romantic.”

“I’m sorry…”

“Don’t worry about it.” Nico made a dismissive motion. “Honestly, you’re an easier drunk to deal with than either Eli or Nozomi.”

“Oh?”

“Oh yeah. Eli is fine at first, her tolerance is unbelievable, but then she starts getting grumpy and belligerent. Nozomi is all silly giggles until a certain threshold is crossed and she becomes apathetic about pretty much everything. She’ll just lie down in the middle of the apartment and stare at the wall for a half hour or more. She’s still conscious but she just doesn’t care enough to move anymore.”

“And me?”

“Well…”

“What?”

“You’re… really affectionate when you’re drunk.”

“What?!”

“You used to accuse me of being too clingy, back in the day, but I don’t think you can say that anymore after last night.”

“Oh gods…”

“Nozomi has pictures.”

“Oh gods…”

“So does Kotori.”

“Kill me now…”

“I think Anju does as well…”

Maki groaned yet again, though far more plaintive than before.

“Hey, I tried to make them delete them.”

“…”

“Or at least send them to me.”

“Nico-chan…”

“Want to see?”

“No.”

“But we look so cute together! Do you at least remember my dress?”

“Yes… and… you were right…”

“I was what?” Nico craned her neck towards Maki. “What was that?”

“It was cuter than what you wore on our first date.”

The raven-haired girl grinned.

“But the first dress was more beautiful, I think. It made you look more mature. I liked that as well.”

“So many compliments in such a short time.” Nico couldn’t help herself. “I’m about ready to ask what you did to my actual girlfriend.”

Maki sighed. “Anything else I should know about?”

“You may want to apologize to Tsubasa at some point.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah… you kind of accused her of trying to steal me away from you.”

“Seriously?”

“You also accused a bush of touching me inappropriately, despite the fact that you were the one who stumbled and pushed me into it.”

“…”

“I doubt you have to apologize to the bush though.”

“Please tell me that’s everything.”

“Pretty much. The rest was just your normal µ’s reunion.”

“A question.”

“Alright.”

“Why are we in my dorm? Wasn’t your apartment closer?”

“You kept insisting that you wanted to sleep in your bed.” Nico shrugged. “But there was no way I was going to drag your drunk ass all the way to your parents’ place, and I don’t even want to imagine how that would have played out if I did. I figured bringing you here might be enough to placate you because it kind of is your bed at the moment.”

“And did you… change my clothes?”

“I helped you change, if that’s what you mean. But again, nothing I haven’t seen before.” Just keep telling yourself that, Nico…

“…” Maki’s eyes fluttered shut for a moment.

“How you feeling now?”

“Like crap… But mostly tired.”

“Well another hour or two might help; certainly wouldn’t hurt.”

“Alright…”

“Yeah, but at least sleep properly.” Nico sat up. “Come on, get your legs back up here.” She reached over to help her girlfriend slide back into a more comfortable position. “Say, where’s your laptop?”

“You’re staying here?”

Nico grinned. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” She spotted the device in question. “Still using the same password?”

“Yeah…”

The raven-haired girl climbed back on the bed and sat with her back against the wall. She opened the computer and set it across her lap. “When you wake up, we’ll go get something to eat; something mild that you can hopefully keep down.”

“Alri…” Maki yawned. “Nico-chan…”

“Mmm?”

“Thank you.”

Nico reached over to pat her girlfriends head, but by the time her hand touched the red locks, the younger girl was fast asleep.

Author’s Note Continued: This scene was partly inspired by The Boondock Saints, in so far as I love the storytelling method of leading up to the action, skipping it and reconstructing it later. I may or or may not use this style again in the future, it kind of depends on what I think fits the intent of the scene; this one obviously being Maki trying to remember the events of the previous night. I may even come back to this one and add in more things for Nico to tell Maki about. Or, I may write a different scene with someone else reminding Maki of something embarrassing she did, then have Maki come back to question why Nico didn’t tell her first to prepare her.

Actually, as I typed that last sentence, I’m already getting ideas... Going to have to let that simmer on the back burner for a little while as I’m still kind of working on two other scenes and deities only know when I’ll finish those.

Author's Note Addendum: I totally forgot to mention that my inspiration for Eli and Maki's argument was this delightful little comic by one of my favorite artists, Drill.

DRRM Kuwentuhan

Disasters has been in our world since the dawn of man and one characteristic of disasters is that it can not be predicated easily, that is why today we promote disaster risk reduction management to avoid casualties and people getting hurt. Sometimes disasters are caused because of the hazards in our environment. So, being aware of hazards nearby could lessen the casualties and destruction so we must know what are hazards.

After the interview with our barangay tanod in Talon Dos, Las Pinas City I learned what are the hazardous places that can cause destruction. In places that has a lot of informal settlers that lives in homes that are made out of wood, messy wiring and a lot of fire hazards is one of the prominent hazardous places with high risk of disaster so we must be aware of that. Places also with a low ground level can cause high floods. We must look into our places before staying there to know what are the risk that we might face when disaster comes. In our barangay the most vulnerable people are the one who are dependent mostly kids and senior citizens because they are the ones who needs guidance, who needs help from adults, and relatively weaker. We must take into consideration with these people and know what is the most convenient for them when disaster strikes. In Talon Dos I am confident to say that we have enough evacuation sites to cater the people who are mostly in hazardous places because we have a lot of open spaces and basketball courts that can be turned into evacuation sites. Numerous of the hazardous places in Talon Dos are the informal settlers’ residences and the low lying places. Like manggahan and satima compound which has a lot of houses made out of wood and are really closed with each other that can make fire spread easily. Vatican drive is also a hazardous place because it is the most bottom place in our village, when it rains all the water goes down their and usually floods even with weak rains.

One thing why the community experiences this is because of people being ignorant of hazardous places. They say that “hindi naman mangyayari yan” line but it is not true anything can happen and people must be aware of his/her surroundings. We must know what hazards are in their environment so that they can take action to lessen casualties when disaster strikes. To solve this kind of problems the government must always advertise about disasters. The citizens must see the value of looking around and knowing what are the hazards are. They must also host seminars that could teach people basic first aid so that when medic is not around they can be the first ones to treat the patient. Today social media is a very big trend and it is a good thing that news about typhoons can be spread out easily with the use of social media so the government should also post about disasters and hazards to spread awareness.

Disasters are common here in the Philippines because we are located int he ring of fire. Typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruption, storm surge and many more. Disaster is not new word anymore among Filipinos but still we can’t avoid the deaths of people. One problem of people here in our country is ignorance and they precious more on their things than their lives. Like the volcanic reuption in Mayon, when the government announces to evacuate because of the incoming eruption some families prefer to stay because they don’t want to leave their houses because they precious their houses more than their lives. We Filipinos must not be ignorant of the disasters and hazards and must be aware so we can lessen the destruction and loss of lives. It is a good thing our government has a department for disaster risk reduction which is DRRM which has also the budget for rescues and food donations when it is needed. Another thing is PAG-ASA can announce typhoon before it hits in our country where they also indicate how severe can a typhoon can be, which is a good thing so that our people can prepare and be ready.

After the interview I had with the barangay tanod and the community talk I have become more aware of my village’s surroundings and I have more knowledge on what to do when disaster strikes so I can protect my own family. I learned that being a barangay tanod is also hard because of the plans you need to make for disaster risk reduction and it is not easy to handle many families and people with a small unit of government which the barangay. We must help also our barangay and support because it is our own good as well.

We need to address this kind of problems because this is a big thing. As we know we will have the “big one” which is a very strong earthquake so we must take action. We must teach and raise awareness to the people about disasters because Im sure not all understands hazards and disasters. There is a lot of Filipinos following the wrong practices when there are disasters so we must change that so we can avoid massive loss of lives. We can address it by implementing disaster risk management to schools so that not only adults would know what to do but also the students so that all of us know what to do when these things happen.

As a Thomasian student one thing I can do to lessen the vulnerabilities is to simply teach them the basic first aid, the difference between disasters and hazards, the causes and effects of these disasters, effects on our bodies etc. because after what I learned from DRRM I got an idea how disasters can be a really bad thing so teaching a brief knowledge about this would help people who are vulnerable. I can start with my family and then with my friends and this will get passed on and hopefully this will spread out to the whole community.
