# CLOSING TIME #

"Hey, Yuki you know you shouldn't have done that, I can protect myself" said Makino walking beside Yuki

"I know, but I felt like it was my responsibility to at least protect my friends who have been good to me" said Yuki smiling towards Makino

When a car suddenly stopped beside them and a pineapple hairstyle popped its head on the window

"MAKINO TSUKUSHI, YOU FORGOT ABOUT OUR DATE!" said a fuming Doumyouji to her girlfriend

"Huh…Oh yeah…I'm sorry Doumyouji, I promise, I'll make it up to you…" said Makino to her boyfriend

"Get in the car, I'll take you home and you can bring Yuki along" said Doumyouji (AN: so demanding!)

As Makino was getting inside the car Yuki stopped her

"Uh, Makino you go ahead I have to go some place else" said Yuki who was saying goodbye to her friend

"You sure about this, pineapple head doesn't mind, which is very rare for him you know" said Makino to Yuki

"I heard that!" said Doumyouji then both girls bursted laughing

"Well, See Ya tomorrow Makino, take care you guys" then the car sped off leaving Yuki behind.

Anyways, she has a reason why she doesn't want to join them, most of all she doesn't want to be a bother to her friend and his boyfriend. They are really a cute couple if they aren't arguing all the time. As she was walking through the park she saw some lovers who were having their date. They looked so happy and content, as if nothing in this world could break them apart.

"I wonder if Soujirou and I will… get a hold of yourself nothing like that will ever happen" thought Yuki

She didn't notice that she was already in front of her house when snow started fell…

"Christmas is just around the corner…" said Yuki when she heard a motorcycle stopping beside her…

" Soujirou-san what are you doing here?" asked Yuki who was shocked/happy to see the man of her dreams

"Um… can I talk to you?" asked a SHY Soujirou

(AN: Hey wait! Since when did Soujirou became shy?)

"Sure, come inside there's hot cocoa" exclaimed Yuki but as she was about to enter her house Soujirou grabbed her wrist and said " I would prefer some place else's" then he gave her a helmet

"Wait, where are we going?" asked Yuki who was baffled with Soujirou's act of kindness

"Just hop on" said Soujirou and with that they drove off to the city where they saw all the lights sparkling in the night. It's as if they were really destined together, but Soujirou is to slow to sense it (AN: And boy will he have a rude awakening! hahaha)

They stopped at the cliff, where you can see the beautiful city at night.

"So why did you take me here?" asked Yuki who was feeling cold and yet warm at the same time

"You see, I was hoping to ask this certain girl and make her my girlfriend" said Soujirou in a low voice

"Oh my gosh, is he talking about me?" thought Yuki

"Well, what is this girl like?" asked Yuki who was really interested in the subject

"You see, she's sweet, kind, thoughtful and most of all caring, I have been mean to her a lot of times and I guess I want to repay all her kindness" said Soujirou who was now looking at the stars

"The stars have finally answered my prayers, he's going to ask me to be his girlfriend" thought Yuki with a smile

"Well, I guess you should just go straight to the girl and tell her how you feel, and I'm sure she won't disappoint you" said Yuki with a smile and with that Soujirou covered her with his jacket

"Look, I'm sorry if I have been a jerk last time, I wasn't able to protect you, Makino is right, I didn't take care of you like you took care of me, and now things are going to change" said Soujirou who was looking at Yuki in the eye

"This is it…" thought Yuki who was holding her breath

"Yuki, will you…. Will you come with me to the airport tomorrow to fetch my… girlfriend" said Soujirou

"Of course, I will be glad to…wait girlfriend?" asked a dumbfounded Yuki

"Yeah, you see I left her in Europe, she was always so sweet to me, she even cared for me when I fell ill, and I know she loves me so much, I guess I have fallen for her too" said Soujirou with a smirk on his face

"Oh, but I thought… well, never mind and I'll be glad to accompany you tomorrow" said Yuki when suddenly tears started flowing down her cheeks

"Yuki, why are you crying?" asked Soujirou who was shocked at Yuki's reaction

"Oh it's n-nothing, I-I'm just ha-happy for y-you, you finally found y-your t-true hap-happiness" said Yuki with a smile that could win any man's heart (AN: too bad for Soujirou, he's too blind!!)

"Oh, is that it, You really are the greatest friend a guy can have… thanks a lot yuki-chan" and with that he hugged Yuki with all his might, Yuki can feel the warmth in that hug they shared.

"Even though this hugs means friendship ONLY, I still am happy for him, even if it means breaking my heart into a million pieces, I just can't stand looking at his face and feeling all sad" thought Yuki

Then Soujirou took Yuki home and gave her his jacket as a sign of appreciation for always being there for him.

"Thanks a lot Yuki you made me feel all better" said Soujirou then he kissed her on the cheeks and with that he drove off with full speed. Yuki was to shock to respond, it took a while to let her grasp the situation.

Then she has decided that…

"I'll be happy for Soujirou-san, even if it means giving up my love for you…" then Yuki started to go inside because snow started to fell.

There, done with another chapter!
Too bad, Yuki is always just a FRIEND never the GIRLFRIEND but that can be arranged evil smile
