'heRsheys says: I have fallen in love with these two ever since the manga started but then the 'girls' started piling up and I eventually lost interest. However, the recent chapters made my shipping blood to boil once more for this pairing and so here I am! Little snippets of RakuChitoge goodness for me and for you. Team Chitoge FTW!

Disclaimer: I do not own Nisekoi. If I did, the manga would've been finished by the 10th chapter. LOL.


#41: "You did all of this for me?"

Chitoge massaged at her aching temples and leaned against her chair. She looked up at the clock and realized she had been working three hours straight.

She frowned, remembering how her parents left all the paperwork to her just so they can get a nice, long, cozy vacation. Not that she didn't want them to have one. But really. Training, my ass, Chitoge thought, still a little bitter.

She sighed. What's done was done and anyway, she was already halfway through it. The chair squeaked as she stood up. She was tired and it was time to go to the kitchen and have her fill.

Clutching the doorknob, Chitoge opened her door and was surprised at what greeted her.

The whole ceiling was covered with floating blue and white balloons and the silver strings curled into fine spirals and the dimmed lights almost gave off an enchanting atmosphere. One would think the mansion was holding a prom.

Chitoge smiled despite the tiredness she was feeling. Though, she wondered was the occasion was. Was she so caught up in her work that she didn't even know about it?

"Do you like it?"

The blonde-haired girl abruptly turned to her right and there stood her boyfriend holding in one hand a single blue balloon. "Raku!" She smiled and in an instant, she felt her energy go back up. "I like it. It's cute. What's this all about?" She gestured at her surroundings.

Raku's gaze wandered across the place before settling back on her. "Just a little something to make you smile."

"You did this for me?" Chitoge asked as her eyebrows rose.

"You've got this little frown on your face all afternoon. I thought you needed something to cheer you up," Raku said, shrugging.

She gently pushed at his shoulder. "This is so cheesy."

"But it's effective, right?" He grinned and took hold of her hand to wrap the string of the balloon he was holding.

When Raku was done, Chitoge took a step forward and wrapped her arms around his neck. She smiled and rested her cheek against his shoulder. "Thank you."

Raku placed his hands on her waist. "Anything for my Gorilla."

Chitoge's hold on him tightened and it nearly choked him to death.
