Rin Oshitari was the most annoying girl Atsushi Murasakibara had ever met. She always stole his sweets and snacks plus she spoke in an extremely high pitched voice that annoyed the wits out of him. She also loved basketball and often talked to Murochin about the latest NBA match. And above all these factors she was a midget. Murasakibara hated tiny girls. His types were the tall ones. But they weren't many of those in Japan.

So when Rin asked Murasakibara to accompany him to the new candy shop nearby their school, he was flabbergasted. He was planning to go but he did not want to go with the midget. She would constantly blabber throughout the trip and want to play basketball with him later.

So he went to Murochin. Murochin was the best when it came to girls. He had dated quite a few and was a love guru in our purple giant's eyes.

"Why can't she go with any of her annoying friends?" Whined Murasakibara to Himuro.

"Maybe she likes you?" said Himuro with a grin on his face.

"But I always tease her about her height! And she always steals my sweets and never repays me. I hate her Murochin! I don't wanna go with her! Can you come with me?" He asked.

"Mura kun, stop acting like a kid. Rin chan never means to tease you seriously. And its time you made some friends other than me in this school." He said chiding his child- like kouhai.

So on Murochin's advice he accepted her offer. They decided to go after school on Friday.

On Friday the unusual pair made their way out of the school and proceeded towards the candy shop.

"I'm so happy Mura kun! I heard they have Hershey's chocolates from America. I'm going to buy so much candy that I won't be able to carry it!" She squealed with delight.

"Shut up baka! I told you not to talk so much! It's eating my head up! And you're so tiny that you won't be able to carry one chocolate bar also!" He said and walked several steps ahead of her.

Rin was visibly hurt by his comment. She knew she was only 4'10". He did not have to remind her constantly. But she continued walking ahead. She would not let him rain her parade.

The rest of the walk was rather awkward and not a single word was exchanged between the two. Rin kept on humming some popular J- Pop song and Murasakibara punctuated her humming by crunching on his chips. After what seemed a century they reached the shop.

Rin was the first to enter and she started exclaiming with delight when she walked in. It was like paradise of candy. They even had a chocolate fountain. There were huge candy canes that framed the entrance of the shops. There was a giant gingerbread man standing near the door welcoming all people who entered the shop.

Murasakibara was now really irritated at this girl. She was acting as if she had never seen candy before in her life. Most of the customers were staring at them- one for her childish behavior, two due to his height and three on the height difference between them. Murasakibara tried to act as if he did not know her and began stuffing his arms with latest candy.

"Mura kun look at this fountain! It's so AMAZING! I want one at my wedding." And saying that, the girl began doing some ridiculous dance near the fountain. A few customers began laughing. Murasakibara tried hiding his face but it was not possible.

Murasakibara was majorly annoyed at her now. He walked towards her and harshly pushed her away from the fountain. She fell down due to the pressure he was applying.

"Ouch! Hey Mura kun, you don't have to be jealous of my dancing skills. Even you can join me!" She said. A bright smile was plastered on her face.

Murasakibara just walked to the shelves containing candy. Once he was done, he proceeded towards the checkout counter. That's when Rin came running towards the counter.

"Wait Mura kun! Let me pay for you. I've been stealing your candy a lot these days." She said pouring all her cash from her wallet on the counter.

"Your lucky, girl. This is just enough for the amount you have bought." said the cashier.

Murasakibara looked at Rin's face. If he removed all her annoying assets maybe she was not really that bad. She was like dark chocolate sweet and bitter at the same time.

"Rin take half my share." He said and put half his stash into her hands.

"But Mura kun.." she began protesting.

"No buts. Just take it." He said and walked out of the shop.

Maybe she could be his friend he thought as they walked home.

And ten years later they got married. And yes they had a dark chocolate fountain at their marriage.
