The icy blue sky was murky today with specks of cotton white clouds. Ayumu was in his usual spot, the roof, glancing down towards the bustling streets through the wired fence. The school's highest floor overlooked the main intersection, where people were crossing rapidly through to the rhythm of red and green lights.

Ayumu closed his eyes and angled his face to bathe in the sunlight. The comfortable warmth and cool breeze made it delightfully easy to not concentrate on the blade children. For which has dominated his mind for the last couple of weeks. The atmosphere was almost too calm that it was unsettling. Ayumu was now used to Hiyono's constant interruptions and off key singing. It seemed unnatural for such a pleasant feeling to be surrounding him. And as if the director said "action", Hiyono arrived right on cue. She burst through the door, eyes big with excitement and a smile that never ceased.

"Ayumu!!" She exclaimed, throwing a pile of glittery heart graffiti on top of him. "Happy Chocolate day!!!" she shouted, her voice rising above a shrill.

Ayumu hesitantly crooked his head in her direction, his brow furrowed, irritated.

"It's Valentine's, you mean," he said flatly, squinting his eyes to slits to glare at her.

Hiyono just grinned widely and answered.

"Well Valentine's day is the only day where you can eat chocolate and candy all day!"

She straightened her posture and grinned. "That's why I call it Chocolate day,"

Ayumu grunted and gave her a sympathetic smile.

"But you can only do that when someone gives you them," he shot back coolly.

Heat rushed to Hiyono's cheeks so fast it was like a thermometer with a cold of 100 degrees. Her face flushed a devilish red, eyes cast to the ground. Ayumu looked amused and he chuckled lightly.

"Don't worry," he lulled "I'm sure Kyosuke might give you some,"

Hiyono fumed on the spot. He's always so rude, she thought.

"Aiii!! You're supposed to be nice to girls on this day!" She cried and stalked away.

Ayumu just shrugged and entered his trance once more.

--------------------------------------

Hiyono marched back to the classroom, huffing out her disappointment with a pouted face. So what? She thought I can still eat all the chocolates I want!

While lost in a whirlpool of her thoughts, Hiyono didn't notice a bunch of girls running up towards here. Their eyes hinted of a surprise and unattainable goofy grins failed the girl's attempt to be secretive.

"Hiyono! Come see!" one of them cried.

The other two came and snaked an arm around both of hers and practically dragged her to the class.

"What is it?" she asked, puzzled. The girls just snickered and lead her to the threshold of the room.
