I have no excuse. Enjoy.

Ichigo smiled, humming to herself as she pulled her homemade chocolate covered strawberries out of the fridge. She put them in individual wrappers and in a small box. "I'm going to school now." She called, grabbing the box and rushing out the door with one strawberry in hand. Masaya was waiting at the end of the drive, smiling. "Good morning, Masaya."

"Good morning." Masaya said. Ichigo stopped and handed him the chocolate covered strawberry in her hand. "Thank you. Delicious."

Kish growled softly, watching the pair leave from his perch in the tree outside Ichigo's window. He followed the two carefully, making sure not to be seen. Once the pair had entered school Kish teleported away, reappearing on top of the school and sitting cross-legged. He leaned back against the rail and yawned, closing his eyes and dozing off.

As soon as Ichigo left school, Kish was on her trail again. He'd watched her during break, and seen her give out most of the snacks she'd brought and get candy from some other kids. Now he watched her in Café MewMew handing out the rest of her candy to the other MewMews and the two boys there. He glared angrily, settling down to sleep again outside the café. A few minutes after he'd gotten to sleep the branch he was on shook slightly, waking him up. He blinked and looked around, spotting Ichigo sitting on the same branch. The girl was frowning, looking down at him. "You've gotten rusty, Kish. You were to easy to spot this morning." Ichigo said, smiling slightly. "I'm glad you're back. I've got something for you." Kish sat up, blinking as Ichigo picked up the box she'd been carrying around all day and pulled the last strawberry out. She held it out for Kish, who took it slowly and stared at it.

"Um, thanks." He said, eating it slowly and licking the juice off his lips. "Is this another holiday? Like Christmas?" He shifted slightly, getting a bit exited when Ichigo giggled.

"Today's Valentine's Day, a special holiday when people give the people they like candy." Ichigo said. Kish blushed slightly, searching his pockets for a second and pulling out a small sucker he'd stolen from Tart earlier.

"Um, here." He said, holding it out. Ichigo smiled and took the sucker, unwrapping it and licking it once. "I guess I should probably get going. Pie tends to worry. I'll see you later."

"Hold on." Ichigo said, crawling closer. Kish blinked when she leaned forward, planting a light kiss on his lips. "See you tomorrow, Kish. Happy Valentine's Day." She jumped down, running back into the café. Kish pressed his fingers against his lips, blushing and teleporting home, a silly smile firmly in place."
