Ichigo: What's this? A new story? Hoshimi-chan, don't you have to update
"I love you-desu!"?
Me: I wanted to write this one. A lot. It's a multi-chaptered story just full of random drabbles and one-shots that happen on special days. KashinoxIchigo days. Their one-year anniversary day. Kashino's birthday. And some other days…LOL…And I'm sorry for the people who wanted to see the latest chapter of "I love you-desu!" I will publish it, I promise…
Ichigo: Whatever you say, as long as you try your best to update this often! Hoshimi-chan doesn't own Yumeiro Patissiere and enjoy the story!
Special days, anniversaries, and birthdays
Chapter One: Pollen Allergy
Kashino smiled proudly, slight mischief in his smile as he carried his present. The present. His present for his girlfriend for their one-year anniversary. He smirked smugly to himself; Ichigo was going to love it. He stared at the delicate present, and tugged the ribbon harder before finally smiling, satisfied. He held the mysterious package behind him, his footsteps quickening when he reached the place he had arranged to meet Ichigo.
"Hey Kashino!"
Her melodic voice sounded like bells chiming in the distance. She looked cheerful, as usual and she had secured her hair into a ponytail instead of wearing it down or tying it up in its usual pigtails. She smiled brightly, a smile that gave off a dazzling aura. Dazed and happy, Kashino brought his present from behind his back to the girl in front of him.
The reaction was NOT what he expected.
~X~
Kashino widened his eyes, why was the brunette sneezing again and again. He was worried, so he patted her shoulder sympathetically, hoping that it would somehow stop her sneezing.
"What's wrong with you? Are…you okay?" His eyebrows furrowed, still having trouble wrapping his head around the whole situation. "Ichigo?"
"Stop – I have – pollen…"
Kashino raised his eyebrows questioningly. Ichigo snatched his lovingly wrapped present out of his hands and threw it into the bin. Kashino was now shocked; he stared at the different colored, bright flowers that lay next to a lot of garbage.
"I have a pollen allergy – Kashino – I hate – UGH!" Ichigo couldn't make a full sentence. Shooting a glare at Kashino, she gasped for breath and ran out of the corridor, leaving the worried blond still staring anxiously at the flowers wrapped in the satin and ribbon.
~X~
Amano Ichigo: KASHINO! I have a pollen allergy!
Kashino Makoto: …You do?
Amano Ichigo: YES! I told you before, remember?
Amano Ichigo: Do you really read my texts? Like, do you really absorb everything in and remember everything? I thought I was your girlfriend! You're supposed to know my health issues!
Kashino Makoto was just about to send his apology, but he was frustrated. Deleting his entire message, he started again, onto a harsher topic. He was irritated, he had tried so hard to make their anniversary special and Ichigo was throwing away all his efforts. He had gone to the florist and chose the colors and flowers he thought Ichigo would like! He had carefully removed all the thorns from the stems of the flowers and wrapped it into some satin paper, before proceeding to tie it with a red silk ribbon. So, what did he do wrong?
Kashino Makoto: Yeah right! Do you know my health issues?
Amano Ichigo: Uh, yes!
Kashino Makoto: Tell me then.
Amano Ichigo: You really like eating seafood, but you're allergic to clams! You get a really bad stomach ache after eating them and usually suffer from diarrhea and vomiting!
Kashino Makoto did not expect the careless, forgetful brunette to remember that. After all, he had only briefly mentioned it in a text that he had almost forgotten he written. Did…
Amano Ichigo: You're so forgetful! All you care is about grades and everything and you don't even care about friendship or love! Just to tell you, being top in class CAN'T buy you friends or a girlfriend!
Amano Ichigo: And I…HATE YOU!
Kashino Makoto swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat. He sighed loudly at the pounding headache that had started a second ago, what did he do?
~X~
When Ichigo appeared in class the next day, she had tear stains all over her face. Her usually bright with excitement, chocolate brown eyes were dim, and they were red and sore. She had obviously been crying.
Kashino's heart sank when he say his room mate, Hanabusa Satsiki, hugging the brunette into his chest and then patting her head sympathetically. His heart literally ached at the sight. He sorely wanted to comfort Ichigo. Andou frowned and stepped next to his childhood friend.
"What did you do to her?" Andou inquired, "She's been crying for the whole night. Apparently got no sleep at all."
Kashino winced. What did he do to his…girlfriend?
"Sorry," Kashino mumbled, trying to ease the pulsing headache that he got as he flinched again.
~X~
Kashino read through their conversation again and again, re-reading the part that Ichigo had texted him about her pollen allergy.
Amano Ichigo: It's so sad, you know…I love red roses, sunflowers, and irises, but I have a pollen allergy…
Suddenly, an idea ticked in the blond's mind. He broke into a wide, triumphant smile, as the plan slowly hatched in Kashino's evil mind.
~X~
Kashino Makoto: I'm sorry, Ichigo. Meet me in the English corridor in five minutes. I have a surprise for you, which definitely will make you smile.
Amano Ichigo groaned. Her eyes were bloodshot red now, and she was still crying. Mourning and heartbroken, she decided to spin a pen. If the button of the pen pointed at her pillow, then she would go to meet Kashino.
She spun it. Hoping that it would not stop at her pillow…but she was wrong. The pointer of the pen pointed straight at her pillow; there was no saying that it was pointing in another direction. Ichigo's eyebrows folded into a frown, she moved the pillow more far away, and spun the pen again.
It stopped in the direction of the pillow. Frustrated, irritated and very annoyed, Ichigo spun the pen one last time.
She couldn't deny it; it stopped at the pillow once again. Reluctantly, she changed into some clean clothes and left for the English corridor to meet Kashino.
~X~
"I have a surprise for you." Kashino said. A sweet, real, unmistakable smile appeared on the usually sadistic blond's face, as he brought out another bunch of flowers. There were only three flowers. One iris, one rose, and one sunflower.
Ichigo was about to yell at Kashino and slap him, but she found that her nasal area did not feel uncomfortable. Puzzled, she raised her eyebrows and stared at Kashino in bewilderment.
"Fake flowers," Kashino began his speech, "That will never die."
He's too sweet…Ichigo thought, a warm smile appearing on her face.
"Like our love…that will never die." Kashino laughed, and handed the flowers to Ichigo. "Happy one year anniversary, Ichigo. I'm sorry for my carelessness."
"Aww…You shouldn't have…" Ichigo felt tears of happiness prickle her eyes as she admired the flowers. "I'm sorry, Kashino. I love you…"
"For eternity." Kashino finished her sentence, and they embraced each other.
Me: Just over 1k! Is it a cheesy ending?
Kashino: I don't act sickly sweet like that…
Me: Yeah. Ichigo has a better perspective.
Ichigo: It was super sweet! Fake flowers, even though I have a pollen allergy…Awww! *coos*
Me: I'm glad you liked it! I know there's Kashino and Ichigo have no allergies at all in the anime and manga, but I was tempted to write this fluffy little drabble for them!
Ichigo: Please review!
Me: It's definitely way sweeter having Ichigo around to do the Author's notes than Kashino…
Kashino: I heard that. -.-"
