Day 2 – Rei & Yuuichirou

"Rei-san, can I come in?" Kumada Yuuichirou asked as he knocked on the door of Hino Rei's bedroom. It was Christmas day and although Rei was a Shinto priestess, Yuuichirou had wanted to get her a gift. Since he had come to live at the Hikawa jinja with Rei and her eccentric grandfather, Yuuichirou had been in love with Rei.

"Yes, what is it?" Rei asked as she slid the door open.

Though hidden by his hair, Yuuichirou's eyes widened. He had expected Rei to be in her usual robes. Instead she was dressed in a burgundy sweater dress with her hair tied back from her face.

"Well?" Rei asked impatiently. She folded her arms over her chest and waited for Yuuichirou to answer.

"Uh... you look... pretty," the brown haired man replied.

Rei blushed and looked down at her feet. "Thank you," she said softly, embarrassed.

Yuuichirou just nodded, feeling tongue tied and flustered around the young woman. "Any time" he murmured.

"Um... I need to go... Usagi is waiting for me to show up at her party," Rei said finally.

"Oh! Wait, before you go, I have a present for you!" Yuuichirou told her quickly and reached a hand into his pocket.

"You got me a present? Rei asked, surprised.

Yuuichirou nodded and pulled his hand out of his pocket. "It's not much... but..." he said as he took one of her hands and placed the gift into the palm of her hand.

Rei looked at the trinket in her hand. "A bracelet?" she asked as she inspected it.

"I made it myself," Yuuichirou admitted sheepishly.

Rei smiled and ran her fingers lightly over the flame shaped beads that bore her name in Romanized letters. "Will you help me put it on?" she asked and held her opposite arm up so he could.

Carefully and gently, Yuuichirou took the bracelet back and tied the red cord holding the beads around Rei's wrist. "Do you like it?" Yuuichirou asked hesitantly.

"I do. Thank you, Yuuichirou," Rei replied softly. She leaned closer to Yuuichirou and kissed him on the cheek.

Yuuichirou blushed behind his curtain of shaggy brown hair. "Me-merry Christmas, Rei-san," he stammered while still blushing.
