(F/N): Friend's Name

(Y/N) POV

It's been a week since I've become friends with Nepgear, her sister and her friends. There's nothing special happened along our friendship so far, but I can tell that our bonds are starting to get strengthen.

So anyway, today is Tuesday, one of the hatred days in most of the student's life as a high school teenager, but I don't mind because as long as I get to live, that's fine.

The time I woke up was 5:20 a.m. and I decided to do my daily routine. Doing some morning exercise, jogging and watch some YouTube.
After that, I went to make breakfast. I saw my mom at the kitchen cutting some potatoes into small cubes.

Mom: Ah, good morning, (Y/N).

(Y/N): Good morning, mom.

Mom: Want to help me prepare breakfast?

(Y/N): Then, what's the reason I want to go here? Of course I will.

Mom: Aww~My son. Alright. Help me cut those cabbage and wash them.

(Y/N): Already on it.

We then continue making breakfast and mom decided to cook mixed vegetable omelette and sausages.

Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) thinking of (anything you prefer as long as it is appropriate).

It is now 7:25 a.m. I decided to take a shower first and change into my usual outfit which is my school uniform. I went into the dining room and saw my parents and my little sister sitting at the dining table.

(S/N): Oh, good morning, big brother.

(Y/N): Good morning, (S/N).

Dad: How school was going so far?

(Y/N): Always the same, dad. Lame but a little cheerful after I met new friends.

Dad: Are there girls?

A moment after dad says that, Mom appeared from behind him with dark aura.

Mom: *says in a creepy voice* What was that, honey?~Are you trying to cheat on me?~

Dad: Uhhh...

(S/N): You're dead, daddy.

Dad: You know what, let's just dig up this breakfast. I'm SO hungry now.

Me and (S/N) just snort. Mom then sit with us and we began eating our breakfast.

Timeskip to school time.

I was walking through the hallway of the school toward my classroom and then suddenly I got greeted by Nepgear.

Nepgear: Hello there (Y/N). Good morning.

(Y/N): Good morning to you too, Nepgear.

We continued walking and there's an awkward silent between us, so I decided to speak first.

(Y/N): So, Nepgear...

Nepgear: Hmm? What is it? 'She said as she stares at me'.

(Y/N): Do you have any subject that you can't do? Maybe I can offer some help.

Nepgear: Hmm...Actually, there is.

(Y/N): What is it? 'However, as Nepgear was about to answer, a hand grabbed my shoulder'.

???: Hey there, (Y/N). 'It's actually my friend, (F/N)'.

(Y/N): Oh, it's you. 'I said unsurprised'.

(F/N): Come on, dude. I want to be friends with Nepgear too, you know?
As long as we're together as a friend, I will copycat you even in finding friends.

(Y/N): *sigh* Okay then. Nepgear, I want you to meet (F/N). He's my buddy since we were elementary school.

Nepgear just lightly waved her hand at (F/N) and say "Hi there". (F/N) was taken aback at her action and immediately act like a " brave knight in a shining armor".

(F/N): Nice to meet you, Miss Nepgear. I hope that I can do anything useful for you.

(Y/N): 'I mumbled'. More like useless thing like Aqua from Konosuba.

(F/N): I'm not useless! I can hear you, okay?!

Nepgear: 'She giggled a bit and I have to admit it is cute'. I was hoping the same, (F/N). 'She looked at me'. You sure do have a funny friend, (Y/N).

(Y/N): *sigh* Well, he always like that. A funny and humorous person.

(F/N): Hey! At least I got some friends like you and Nepgear too you know?

(Y/N): Whatever. 'The bell rings and we immediately walk into the class'. Let's go.

Timeskip after school.

I was walking back to my home and then suddenly I got greeted by familiar faces again.

Nepgear: Hey (Y/N).

(Y/N): Hey Nepgear. Let me guess. You want to come over at my house again?

Nepgear: N-No! Not that! I'm just asking you something.

(Y/N): Sure, what is it?

Nepgear: Can I have your phone number?

(Y/N): 'I stopped my step and turn at her'. What for?

Nepgear: To have a chat with you of course!

(Y/N): 'I pulled out my smartphone and show Nepgear my phone number'. Here you go.

Neptune: 'Appears out of nowhere...again'. Thanks a lot, (Y/N)! We really appreciate it!

(Y/N): 'All of a sudden, I saw a big shadow at the front of me and then I can feel that someone closed my vision with a hand'. W-Who's behind me?

???: 'From the voice, I can tell it's who'. You know who I am, right (Y/N)?

(Y/N): 'I said in a monotone voice'. It's (F/N).

(F/N): Yes! It is I, (F/N)(L/N)!

Neptune: And his partner, Neptune!

Noire: That's enough already, you two!

Blanc: Your acting is embarrassing me.

Neptune: Anyway (Y/N), are you going somewhere next?

(Y/N): To the city for a walk and buying stuff.

Vert: Of course you would say that. You're a millionaire's son.

Uni: But that doesn't mean that your life will always be easy just because you have a tons of money, you got that?

(Y/N): Well yeah.

Uni: 'She points her index finger at my face'. Or is it "Well Yes But Actually No"?

Neptune: 'She pushed both me and Uni from each other'. Calm down there, Uni. (Y/N), we're going with you.

(Y/N): Why?

Neptune: Because...I said so! Come on!

(Y/N): Hold on! Let me go home first!

Neptune: *sigh* Hurry up! I can't wait that long! Meet us at the front of your mansion once you're done.

Timeskip

We arrived at town around 2:15 p.m. (F/N) said that he can't join us because he got some urgent matters about his families. Neptune and Vert were clinging on my arm again. I blushed a little.

(Y/N): C-Could you get off my arms? I'm feeling uncomfortable.

Neptune: No~

Vert: Because you'll run away from us if you do~

(Y/N): *sigh* So, where are we going?

Nepgear: Umm...It's your decision for that. We're just going to follow you.

(Y/N): Okay then. Let's go to the arcade first. My treat.

Everyone: Really?!

(Y/N): Uhh...Yeah. In case some of you didn't bring money.

Neptune: Aww...That's so nice of you.

Vert: Then arcade it is!

(Y/N): Hey Nepgear. 'She looked at me'. You want to play with us in the arcade?

Nepgear: Sure. Why not?

Around 10 minutes later, we arrived at the arcade and I paid the cashier for a tons of tokens. Neptune uses the tokens to play Street Fighter, Vert uses them for playing the Crane game, Uni, Noire and Blanc was taking a rest at a bench nearby and Nepgear is for playing a first person shooting game called Bang Bang Shooting. I stand beside Nepgear as she begin to shoot the enemies.

Nepgear: Take that! And that! Oh no you don't! 'Her shooting skill and accuracy was fascinating even I'm surprised'.

(Y/N): Nice shot! Keep it going, Nepgear!

Nepgear: Thanks, (Y/N)! Oh, here comes the boss battle! Take this! 'She keep shooting the main boss until he got defeated and Nepgear reached the highest score'. Yay! I win! How was that, (Y/N)?

(Y/N): 'I gave her a thumb up while smiling'. Good job! Your skill are amazing!

Nepgear: Do you want to try?

(Y/N): Sure! Let me show you my true skill of gaming! 'So anyway, I started blasting'. Take that, thugs! 'However, I lost during a boss battle by only one shot from the boss'. Aw man, I lost.

Nepgear: 'She giggled a little'. True skill of gaming? More like a newbie.

(Y/N): Alright, I get it! You're even better than me, okay?

Uni: 'She interrupts us all of a sudden'. You're about to see something amazing from me soon. Give me that!

She takes the Gashacon Magnum from my hand and start a new games, so anyway she started blasting the bad guys. Her skill is as good as Nepgear but she only uses one hand for that. Once she reaches the boss battle, she rapidly shoots him with a machine gun speed.

Uni: 'She achieved the highest score and my jaw dropped to the ground'. What? Surprised? That FPS arcade game is a child play for me. 'She then walks away like a model'.

(Y/N): 'I still have my jaw dropped until I decided to speak'. I better go check on Neptune and Vert. 'I went to Vert first where she was struggling to get the cute bunny plushies'.

Vert: Almost there! 'The claw finally gets the bunny plushies and managed to throw it into the hole'. Yes! Finally! 'She grabs the bunny plushies and squeezed it'. Aww, it's so fluffy and warm!

(Y/N): Congratulations, Vert!

Vert: Thank you, (Y/N). I appreciate it. I'll be sure to treasure this.

After that, I make my way to Neptune where she was playing as Ryu and right now, she was struggling to defeat the final boss.

Neptune: Come on! Is that all you got?! It's time for the finisher! 'She then finishes the opponent by using Shoryuken'. I won! Yes! Did you see that, (Y/N)?!

(Y/N): Wow! Your skills in playing video games as amazing as Nepgear!

Neptune: Of course! With the power of my talent, nothing in video games is impossible! 'She then cackle a bit'.

(Y/N): Alright then. Anyway, are you hungry?

Neptune: 'She looked at me with a tired look'. Of course. I have wasted most of my energy for a few rounds of a video game.

(Y/N): Okay. Why don't we get some crepes near the arcade?

Neptune: Really?! Thank you so much, (Y/N)!

(Y/N): I'll call the others to join us.

Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) eating crepes.

Right now, we were eating crepes with different flavors for each of us.

Mine, Neptune and Nepgear's crepe was a chocolate syrup flavor with vanilla ice-cream topping.

Uni and Noire with their strawberry ice-cream topping with sprinkles on it.

Blanc and Vert with chocolate ice-cream topping and also some sprinkles on it.

Neptune: Mmmmm! 'She reacted with a sparkling background and a happy face'. This is delicious!

Noire: *sigh* When will you stop act like that?

Neptune: Never~ I won't ever stop~

Nepgear: Umm (Y/N), can we- 'She was interrupted by another person with a red hair appears behind Neptune and touches her shoulder'.

???: Nepsy! Why are you hanging out without bringing me along with you?! Is this some sort of betrayal that you planned along?

Neptune: 'She felt uncomfortable a little'. U-Uzume, that's not what I-

Uzume: 'I think that's her name'. Silence! And who is this handsome guy right here? Is he your boyfriend? 'She looked at me with a bit annoyed face'. What is your name?!

(Y/N): 'I give her a light wave'. Hi. My name is (Y/N)(L/N). And I assume that you name is Uzume, right?

Uzume: That's right. Uzume Tennouboshi desu~ 'She said while still holding Neptune's shoulder and showed me the V sign at her hand'. Nice to meet you!

(Y/N): Nice to meet you too. 'I said something to not make the situation very awkward'. Want to join us? I'll pay for your crepes.

Uzume: 'She then releases Neptune from her grip and showed her cute expression'. R-Really?! Aww~Thank you, (Y/N). I can't believe Nepsy's boyfriend is sooooo kindhearted~ Today is my lucky day because I get to order my favorite crepe thanks to you, (Y/N)~

Neptune: 'She said hesitantly'. U-Uzume, he's not my boyfriend. He's our new friend that we met a week ago and he's also a millionaire's son.

Uzume: Oh really? Ahaha, sorry Nepsy. I thought that you're already in a relationship. Anyway, if you say so about paying for my crepes (Y/N), I'll order all topping please!

All toppings? In one crepe? Can she finish all of those? Once she get her crepe, she began her first bite and once again, she showed her cute side.

Uzume: Mmmm~ Delicious~ I've been waiting for this in my entire life~ My money that I collected for this crepe is saved~ Thank you soooooo much, (Y/N)~

(Y/N): 'I laughed sarcastically'. Y-You're welcome.

Now, I have a new friend and it's another female which is also Neptune's friend.

(Y/N): 'I asked Uzume a question'. Do you and Neptune know each other, Uzume?

Uzume: Of course~ I also know Gearsy, Noire, Blanc, Vert and Uni too~

Gearsy? I assume that was Nepgear's nickname. We continue having chat about random stuff until I finished my crepe and throw the leftovers to the trash can.

(Y/N): Alright then. Anyway, I'm about to leave soon. I'm going to the groceries to buy ingredients for dinner.

Nepgear: Okay (Y/N). Hope you get back home safely.

(Y/N): Thanks, Nepgear. Alright then, enjoy your crepe, everyone.

Neptune: Thank you, (Y/N)!

Noire: Hmph, i-it's not like I'm enjoying you paying for my crepe or anything.

Uni: Same goes to me.

Blanc and Vert just wave slightly at me.

Uzume: Alright, (Y/N)! Thank you so much for paying my favorite crepe! I'll be sure that I won't forget this!
'She said in her tomboyish tone as she waved her fist to the air'.

(Y/N): Okay. See you later! 'I waved at them as I walked away and head straight to the groceries for dinner'.

Timeskip to night time brought to you by Chibi Neptunia characters watching the stars under the moonlight.

Nepgear POV

The time was 7:00 p.m. and it is time for us to go home. Under the dark blue starry sky and bright full moon, I have to admit it's beautiful. It was silence except the cricket's noise which is pretty calming and the footsteps sound. We finally reached our home and say farewell to each other.

Once I've done cleaning myself (which is taking a bath and brushing my tooth), I hop onto our bed and decided to text (Y/N).

Nepgear: Hello (Y/N).

(Y/N): 'He replied a few moments later'. Hey Nepgear. How are you?

Nepegar: So far so good.

(Y/N): Anyway, what do you want to talk about?

Nepgear: I just want to say thank you for paying us so that we can have fun for today. You are the most nicest friend I've ever found.

(Y/N): No problem. ^_^ Well, there's a reason why I do that. It's because I want to overcome my loneliness.

Nepgear: Heh? What?

(Y/N): Well, you see...I don't have much friends before and the only one I'm counting hope for is (F/N). Even though he's annoying, he always wants to be my friend no matter what I've been through.

Nepgear: I thought that rich people's son always get a lot of friends at school.

(Y/N): Actually, I'm an antisocial before. Then, I tell myself to open up and socialize with people even more. That's where I met you when I saw you being harassed by those thugs and I forced myself to save you.

Nepgear: Aww, that's so sweet of you, (Y/N). Thank you again from me. Anyway, I have to go to sleep now. See you tomorrow!

(Y/N): Alright. Have a good rest! Bye!

(Y/N) has left the chat

I smiled to myself that I made (Y/N) become even better and I'm also very grateful that I befriend him. However, I didn't realize that Neptune has been watching everything that we have been chatting about.

Neptune: 'She smirked sinisterly'. Are you falling for (Y/N) already, Nepgear?

Nepgear: N-No! Why would I? I only see him as a friend.

Neptune: Nepu! Then who is your boyfriend if it's not (Y/N)?

Nepgear: Absolutely no one! There's no way I could have a boyfriend. Besides, I don't think any guy want me to love him.

Neptune: 'She teased me a little'. Then, what about those thugs?

Nepgear: 'I playfully pushed her'. Neptune! How dare you!

Neptune: Aww, you're no fun, Nep Jr. Alright then, we should go to sleep for now.

Nepgear: Y-Yeah. I think we should.

Neptune and I then lie down as I looked at the moonlight and slowly fell asleep. Today is quite a tiring day, but at least I have fun thanks to (Y/N).
