(I in no way own Prétear)
(This takes place a month after the final battle)
...The Days After...
It's has been a whole month and everything was getting back to normal. Himeno no longer had the need to prêt, but she did, every now and then. Just to keep on her toes.
"Himeno," Hayate yells as he runs up the long Awayuki yard.
"Oh, hi," she smiles as he draws near her, then blushes as his hand raises up to brush off a stray leaf that had found its way into her hair.
"What have you been doing, rolling in the leafs?" He jokes, as he looks around the big manner at all the leafs.
"Its windy today," she answers, as if that explains everything.
Himeno looks down, biting her lower lip in embarrassment. Why do I always act like a goofball?
Hayate slowly places his hand on Himeno's chin and lifts up her head, so he can look in her ruby red eyes. He sees all the raging emotions there, but he can't tell if any of them are love. Oh how I wish I could just tell her, he thinks to himself.
Blushing, he quickly lets go of her milky white chin and smiles.
Smiling back at Hayate, Himeno thinks to herself, I want to tell him.
"So, what are you up to today?" Hayate asks her as her peers over her shoulder at a dark figure approaching them.
"Um..I don't know" Curious as to what he was looking at Himeno turned around, a big smile lights up her, "Mawata!"
"Hello, Himeno, um, hi Hayate" Mawata greets the two looking down shyly.
Mawata had come out of her shell so much since that day, but she was still shy around the older knights.
"Hello, Mawata. I was just asking Himeno if she was doing anything today, how about you, any plans?" Hayate asks Mawata knowing that she was still shy around him and the others. They have all been so nice to her, helping her to get over her shyness.
The one helping the most is Sasame, because he felt so guilty for
what he had put her through. He told her he was very sorry but he did not love her, instead he was in love with the someone else. Mawata had cried a little, alone in her room, but quickly began to heal. This was done manly by the love of the three younger knights. They had gave her a reason to be happy. She almost felt like a sister of sorts to them. They in return looked up to her a lot.
Mawata looks up at the two of them, with a happy glint in her eyes, nodded. "I'm going to the beach to meet up with the boys." She tells them and for the first time they notice the big beach bag she was holding. Wow
"Have fun!" Himeno tells her with the biggest smile anyone has ever seen on her pretty face.
"Yeah have a lot of fun, but keep a eye on Shin and Mannen, I don't think they can swim very well." Hayate warned her as she walked away with a wave and a small smile.
"I will" She calls out.
Himeno walks over to the garden she likes to take care of and knells down to smell the flowers.
"Himeno" Hayate calls her as he walks over to join her at the flower garden. "You never answered me fully."
"Well, I um, really have no plans." She looks up at him her finger gently stroking a very special flower to her. I hope he asks me out to do something, she wishes to herself.
"Oh, I see the tulips are coming along greatly." He looks at the pretty pink
flower Himeno was touching. "Tulip Head"
"Yes," She smiles at the nickname that he started to call her when this all started.
"Well, you have no plans, so do you want to go over to Go's and order something to eat?"
"I..um..yes, sounds good, I'm starving."
"Great, I knew you'd be hungry"
Hayate reaches out his hand and takes the small hand of Himeno in his. They start to walk down the path to the gate. He looks down at the head of the girl he knows he loves, someday he'll be able to tell her.
Himeno looks up, and seeing him looking at her, grins. She slowly raises up on her tippy toes and kisses his cheek. Then in hand in hand they walk to their friend Go's to get something to eat.
...That's the end, let me know what you think...
