Author's Note: Greetings everyone! I'm the Captain, and this is my first Shugo Chara fan fiction!
This story is completely unplanned and rather than being a one shot, is just a short story. I'm putting T as there will be such references later on when things get "Cool and Spicy!" I do enjoy just "winging it" after the hard planned recent fan fictions and you could call it a break until my next major project. I hope you all enjoy a change from the usual pairings. Thank you and see you next chapter!
WARNING: This Fan fiction contains some spoilers, mainly for Volume Four & Five. I do not own Shugo Chara or any of its characters.
Honey on Toast
Chapter One
Honey-Be on Toast
Yaya leaned on the cool surface of the glass table, peering at the cherry blossoms over head. The cool spring breeze whistled through the garden, swaying the trees in rhythmic motion and creating a calm aura around the entire shaded area. She stroked her bare feet across the grass, closing her eyes as the birds tweeted over heard. With Baby Tsubasa out with her parents, it meant she had some time to herself for once. Despite her lack of attention, Yaya did enjoy some time by herself once in a while. Indeed, spring break was going to turn out to be warm and bright. Plus, a new school year was about to begin which meant new friends, new classes and new adventures. Pepe was out with the other characters, hunting for the Embryo as usual. The honey on toast on her plate was half eaten, warm still from the afternoon sun.
"Hey! Yaya-chan!" someone cried. Yaya's head shot up as she peered around and met the broad grin of a tall boy. He ruffled his own hair as he flung himself over the brown wooden fence with a grunt, landing perfectly on his feet and striking a heroic pose. Yaya giggled and flung herself at Kukai, landing them both on the grass below and staring at the sky.
"Kukai-kun," she said, nuzzling into his chest. He wriggled away from her laughing loudly. "How did you know I'd be here?"
"I read your mind," he said, grinning and striking a pose as he sat up, rubbing his hands against the grass. "I'm as good a Nobuki or whatever her name is."
"Oooh, I thought Kukai-kun had soccer practice?" asked Yaya, walking back to the table and sipping on her sweet tea, eyes wide with fascination.
"I just finished," he replied, pointing at the football jersey he was wearing as he stared at the toast. "What the heck are you eating?"
"Honey on Toast!"
"Sounds…weird. Sweet like you." Yaya blushed at this, quickly trying to change the subject as to avoid any true confrontation with Kukai.
"I wonder if Tadase-kun and Amu-chan will ever get together…"
"No idea…" said Kukai faintly, staring into the swaying trees. Yaya didn't like this reaction. It was as if he didn't wish to talk about Amu. Kukai took a bite of the toast, munching thoughtfully.
"Hey!" she cried, scrambling across the table for her toast. Kukai moved away from her running down the garden, trampling on a few flower beds as he fled. Yaya pranced after him, falling over clumsily. She landed face first into a pile of soil, the ribbons in her hair falling out. Kukai ran back, still munching noisily on the toast and offered her a hand.
"You're so clumsy," he said, his mouth covered in crumbs. Yaya pouted, taking his hand and with all her might, pounced up at him like a lion. They both fell to the ground, the toast rolling over into the nearby shrubbery, lost. Yaya sat on top of Kukai, rubbing her head. She couldn't help but think he had very jagged and pointy bones. She soon peered down at Kukai, there eyes meeting for a second. A spark, like an electric shock, suddenly jolted through Yaya as her face turned the faintest shade of pink. Kukai was smiling broadly. Yaya began to panic. Should she get up, or take this opportunity? Should she talk or make a joke out of it? Kukai laughed, pinching at Yaya's cheeks.
"Hah, you're so cute with your hair down, all pouty." Yaya blushed further and frowned.
"You idiot!" she shouted, bonking him on the head repeatedly. She began laughing too. Everything passed as a joke. It was fine, if they could laugh like this.
"Ow, what the heck…" said Kukai, barely able to breath from laughing. "That hurts!"
For a while, they lay side by side in the grass, just staring at the clouds passing by in the sky. Yaya enjoyed the moment, talking about nothing in particular.
"Where are the others then?" she asked.
"Nadeshiko's doing something with her family, Tadase I last saw mumbling something about that Neko boy and I think Amu is…" his voice trailed. Yaya frowned again, sighing.
"That Neko boy seems to like Amu," she said, picking blades of grass at random as a bird flew overhead. Kukai stayed silent, thoughtful, which was usually unlike him. She began to grow tired of having to constantly switch conversation directions.
"Last day of school tomorrow then the Darts Concert!"
"Hah yeah. Then I move to another class."
"I wonder what class I'll be in. I wish I was with Amu. I wish all the Guardians together! Then Nadeshiko could make Yaya more sweets!"
"Hah, I bet you'd like that."
"You bet! It's going to be brilliant!"
"Yeah. I wonder what our campus is like…"
"Huh?"
"Last day of Elementary tomorrow."
"What?!"
