"Yuck, it's wriggling on the tip of my finger like a bug. Disgusting, I've never even seen a pink insect like you before," Maki's words stung harder than the sweat in Nico's eyes right now.

"Shit... I'm seriously that small...?" Nico let out a defeated laugh, completely worn out by the day's events, and ready to just take a long rest.

"You must have had a rough time in my shoe today. Or maybe you enjoyed it. Maybe you're a pervy bug..." Maki teased the speck, giving it a look of disdain. "Whatever, see ya."

Nico lay stuck to her friend's skin, unable to move as she saw Maki's other giant hand approach her...

"Damn it... why... why me..." Nico's weak words escaped her dry lips.


Maki Nishikino flicked the weird bug off her finger with enough force to shatter it to pieces, sending it flying to some corner of the room, never to think about it again in the slightest.
