"H-hey!" Nico's bump on her shoulder isn't as hard as Maki makes it out to be.
They settle back into that heavy silence again, Nico sipping her tea and eating cookies and Maki just sitting there with her hands folded in her lap and stomach twisting in knots.
She doesn't know why she isn't honest, especially when Nico gave her an opening. There's just something about telling Nico the truth -- this truth -- that scares Maki more than anything. She thinks it's more likely Nico doesn't return her feelings. Her half-assed attempt at a confession earlier -- grabbing Nico's hand -- confirmed that for her.
If Nico says she knows her so well then she should already know this and save her the trouble!
"Nico-chan's still an idiot."
She bumps Nico's shoulder back much harder than she means to.
