Authors Note: Remember, the characters are about 6 years old, so when you're imagining them, remember that they don't look like they do in the series (they're much cuter!).

I Like You
Chapter 2
Toushiro blinked. I like you? What did that mean? Toushiro felt butterflies in his stomach and he suddenly felt out of breath. Momo was standing in front of him, nervously fidgeting her hands. He managed to give her a small smile. He tried to say something but the words seemed to stick in his throat. He ended up simply giving her a nod while smiling.
Momo smiled back at him and nervously backed away, returning to her seat. Toushiro watched her. He wasn't sure what to think. His mind was buzzing blankly. She liked him… what did that mean? He felt funny, as if he were being tickled from the inside. He looked over at Momo, gazing at her lovely chocolate brown hair. He leaned back in his seat; he would need to think about this.
Momo walked back to her desk, a big smile on her face. She had finally told Toushiro how she felt about him. She didn't remember how long she had felt this way, only that she did. She had admired his cute face and brilliant blue-green eyes for a long time. She loved how smart he was. He was the only person in the class other than her who had already completed the worksheet that the class was doing. She hated to see the way others picked on him. Whenever she saw someone teasing him, it took all of her self-restraint to keep herself from running over and pounding their faces into the ground. She loved Toushiro. She really did.
Momo Glanced out of the corner of her eye at Toushiro. He was looking at her! She was so happy right now it felt as if there were butterflies fluttering around her stomach. She smiled and giggled silently to herself.
Toushiro sat in his desk, thinking of Momo. He had seen her many times in class, but as he thought back to it, he remembered things that he had not noticed before. He remembered how she always had a huge smile on her face. He thought of her laugh. He realized that he loved her. That was the only explanation for these feelings. He smiled to himself. He felt sort of tingly at the realization. He loved Momo. His heart began to beat faster. He felt rather giddy. For the first time in a long while, he was really happy.
Later that day, during free time, Toushiro walked up to Momo. He needed to tell her how he felt towards her.
"Momo, I like you too." He said.
A huge smile appeared across Momo's face. It seemed to brighten the room; and not the way the sun did, constantly getting in his eyes, but seeming to radiate off of her, bringing happiness and making the whole world seem like a much nicer place. Her beautiful brown eyes sparkled, a few tears of happiness coming to them. She abruptly pulled Toushiro into a big hug, nestling his face in her lovely chocolate brown hair. Toushiro blushed and hugged her back.
Thanks for reading! Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter! I know this chapter and the previous chapter were rather short, but they will become progressively longer. Please review!
