Happy(?) New Year
Soujirou stared at his reflection in the pond. It was going to be the new year soon, but the way things had turned at that morning… the outlook of his new year seemed bleak.
"… 10 …" Sou stared at the tiny flower he had picked up near his feet as he started to finger the ivory-white petals.
"… 9 …" Maybe he should become a hitokiri again. Seeing the looks Misao gave Shinomori-san every morning was a good enough a reason.
"… 8 …" The sky looked really nice tonight. It seemed that even the stars were shining more brightly to welcome the new year.
"… 7 …" It was going to be another lonely new year for him. Misao had not even given him a second look, even after he had gotten himself a new set of clothes.
"… 6 …" He had tried so hard to get her attention! So why didn't she given him a second look! He wasn't that bad-looking… right?
"… 5 …" Ok, so maybe he wasn't as tall as Sagara-san, or as debonair as Shinomori-san, but deep down he must have some good quality right!?
"…4 …" Maybe it wasn't such a good thing to compare himself to those guys, after all it doesn't do to sell yourself too short right?
"… 3 …" Short… yeah, he was rather short… Maybe that's why Misao never bothered about him, it was the height! She was always raving about Shinomori as tall and dashing…
"… 2 …" Great, so this was the way his new year was going to start, what a great new year it's going to be…
Before Sou could continue his already gloomy thoughts, he felt something warm wrap themselves around his waist.
"Happy New Year Sou-chan! Hope that you'll remain happy always!"
Soujirou turned to find himself staring into the face of one Makimachi Misao.
"Oh! Err.. Happy New Year to you too Misao-san. All the best in the new year." He couldn't bring himself to sound cheerful not after how he knew his new year was going to turn out.
"How many times must I tell you Sou-chan! Stop calling me Misao-san! I'm not a madam you know… Mou!" Misao sulked, angry at being addressed as such even after knowing Sou for more than a year now. "Sou-chan no baka!"
However, before poor Sou could say a thing, Misao has already interrupted him.
"Ne Sou-chan, before I forget…" At this point, Misao forcefully jerked Sou's head so that he was now facing her and kissed him right on the lips. "Let's be be together always! Ok?"
And Soujirou found himself grinning from ear to ear. It was going to be a great new year after all…
