A/N: Most of the chapters in this story will be request based: if you have a polyship you want to see written, tell me in a review and I'll try to write something within a few days to a week.
The first chapter is the second year trio, HonoKotoUmi.
In retrospect, maybe challenging Umi – Umi, who had great aim in both archery and pillow fights; Umi, who had enough of a temper to throw things really, really hard – to a snowball fight was not the best idea.
"Take cover!" Honoka yelled, tackling Kotori to the ground as a snowball flew over their heads. Kotori yelped as she hit the ground, eyes growing wide when she realized how close she had been to getting hit. Honoka quickly rolled off her, forming a snowball and throwing it at Umi. It fell short by a few feet, and Honoka gulped. Kotori's own throw was closer, but not close enough.
"I think it's time to change tactics, Kotori-chan."
"Do you have a plan?"
"Of course!" Honoka gave Kotori a thumbs up. Kotori started making extra snowballs, just in case. Umi was stalking towards the two of them, fire in her eyes as she slowly formed another snowball. Honoka took a few steps forward before falling to her knees in a deep bow.
"Umi-chan! Forgive me!"
"Honoka…" Umi warned, her voice low.
"No, no! Really! I'm sorry!" Honoka looked up, putting on her best pleading face. Umi stopped walking, waiting to see what Honoka was going to say. "I know I shouldn't have stuffed snow down your shirt! It was really, really dumb of me, and I'm really, really sorry, I swear! I'll never do it again! I promise!"
"…you promise?" Umi asked with a raised eyebrow.
Honoka hesitated. "Er… well, I won't do it again today! Or tomorrow! And, and, I'll only read one volume of manga before I do my homework tonight!"
"I'm not sure I believe-" Umi froze as a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. Kotori, having realized that Honoka's plan was not going to succeed, had snuck around the two of them and hugged Umi from behind.
"Please, Umi-chan?"
"Kotori…" Already Umi's anger seemed to be fading. Honoka held her breath, praying that Kotori would cause a miracle.
"I'm sure Honoka-chan will make it up to you! So please forgive us? Pretty please?" She kissed Umi on the cheek, smiling to herself as the other girl turned red.
"We-well, I-I suppose," Umi stammered. She took a deep breath, trying to regain control of herself. "F-fine. I'll let you off the hook. But only this time, Honoka!"
"Thank you, Umi-chan!" Kotori squeezed Umi tighter as Honoka's face lit up.
"Yeah! Thanks!" She bounded over to her girlfriends, wrapping them both in a hug. "You guys are the best!"
"Yeah, yeah," Umi grumbled, relaxing into the warm embrace. Honoka and Kotori exchanged bright, relieved grins, glad that they had survived another day.
