Me: this is set in the first season of yumeiro patisiere. Enjoy!

Ichigo: ki-chan doesn't own yumeiro patisiere or anything todo with it.

"Nee, kashino do you think of me as a friend?" this is what amano asked me one morning, while we were in the kitchens. I had gotten here early as usual and was tempering. Amano had gotten here a soon after that and had set up to work on what she was doing. There had been complete silence till she suddenly asked me this.

"Why the sudden question?" I didn't really feel like answer this since it was early and I was kind a tired. Besides she should already know this answer to this stupid question.

"I just wanted to know, I mean we are team mates, but I just wanted to know what you really think of me" by the tone of her voice I guess this has been bothering her for a while.

"I do think of you as my friend" I turned around to look her straight in the face as I said this to her. I saw a smile light up on her face as I gave her my answer.

"You know, friends let friends copy the French homework they didn't finish" Oh I see, that's must be another reason why she asked me this in the first place. Well, nice try amano, but not nice enough.

"Well best friends" I smirked at her "don't let their best friends cheat" She pouted for a second before she full processed what I had said.

"So now were best friends?" she moved across the room as she was standing right next to me by the counter. She tried to hide the smile that was on her face but was failing miserably.

"Yeah, you know more about me than most people do and" I have smiled down at her " because of all the studying and practicing team ichigo does , we spend about most of our time with together" I saw her nod her head, agreeing with me. Then a quick sly smile popped on her face. Uh oh, it's not often when she thinks of something sly.

"Well you know best friends actually let other people touch them" she came closer to me and looped her arm through mine. I see where she's going with this, that glutton trying to get me to blush. She never turns down an opportunity to embarrass me, since it hardly ever happens. And probably to get back at me for all the times I've made her blush. I'm going to make her plan backfire by making her blush.

"Well best friends also do this" I smiled eerily at her and leaned down to lightly pecked her on the cheek. After see hanabusa do this to her I knew this was the easiest way to get her face bright red. The second I did this, she let go of my arm and turned even redder than I expected. Lightly chuckling, I turned back around to work on tempering some more.

"Wha-t wa-as t-that?" I turned my head to see her face still red and her hand on the spot where I had kissed her.

"That was what friends do to each other" I explained "hanabusa did the same thing to you" I didn't add the part where I was getting her back for trying to make me blush. She would have hit me.

"Yeah I know hanabusa did the same thing but" she looked at the window trying to avoid any eye contact with me. "But with you it felt different" she looked back at me and now I was the one who was blushing. I could seriously feel myself turn red.

"Well don't think about it that much baka" I came to my senses and went back to work " just get started on your work already, we only have half an hour till we have to go to class" I stared at her while she ran back to her counter, working to finish whatever she was doing before class. I shook my head, wanting to get rid of any distracting thoughts (amano) and get back to work. Who knew that amano would be all I would think about for the next few years
