Promise you I will stick with this story (:

Another thing, anyone with who would like to me my beta-reader for this story? I'll be very thankful~

Enjoy...


Hiyori had the tendency of running -instead of walking- down the stairs; she wasn't your normal typical kind of girl.

And when ever Shinji would yell at her-worry coating his words- for being reckless, Hiyori would only stick her tongue out in his face while glaring fireclay, her legs speeding more till she reach up stairs.

Shinji knew very well that she will learn the consequence of her stupid actions, but what he was oblivious to is that it would be sooner than he expected, as Shinji stood abruptly his body was by her side in an instant when her loud cry of pain reached his ear.

Hiyori's cries of pain was something that Shinji didn't know that it would be able of doing so much to him, the sound leaking pain escaping her lips shredding his insides to pieces harshly.

His hands as if they were separated from his own body embraced the fallen Hiyori, fear of losing her to the silliest reason fogging his mind.

"Stop it Shinji! Yer suffocating me, am alright just let go!" her muffled voice by his chest reached his ears magically as he let go of her, his eyes locked with her hazel ones.

"How many funckin' times have I told ya not to run down stairs? HA!" he didn't wanna yell at her, but his voice came out on it's own free will, his eye brows wrinkled in a deadly frown as he stared right into her eyes.

"Alright I get it! It's not a big deal anyway, I juts freakin' fell and that's all!" Hiyori being the only boss of her self shrieked in his face, not shutting her gaze from his.

The way he acted now pissed her off to no end, as if she was so fragile that she'll break one day; Hiyori knew that she was strong.

"That's not all! Ya always ignore my warnings and do the same exact opposite as if intentionally. Grow up and realize that I only want what's in yer own damn interest you baka!" his voice went soft at the end of his speech, somehow Hiyori didn't feel the urge to argue this time, as she looked the other way trying to stand up.

"Hiyori wait! Did you hurt your self any where? You might have sprained something ya know." Shinji felt at a lose of words, her safety was the sole thing occupying his mind at that moment, as he looked at her as if she was going to disappear on him any minute now.

"loosen a bit baldy, am perfectly fine!" and before she was able to walk away from Shinji a hiss of pain escaped her closed lips, as she wobbled almost falling down.

Strings of pain shot up her spine, as Hiyori couldn't even place her foot on the cold surface, Shinji caught her frame immediately from behind as Hiyori turned her head and looked up to meet his dead serious glare.
"Hehe, I think I sprained my ankle a little. It would be better in no time." Trying to wash the tense atmosphere that surrounded them, Hiyori cracked a stiff laugh.

"Am taking ya to the hospital, let's go!" Shinji ordered the injured woman. (This is for you Farah x3)

"No! We're not going any where; See its fine… awawaw!" Hiyori trying the best she can to avoid the inventible, placed her foot on the floor and attempted to walk only for Shinji who yanked his long winter coat from the holder near by, wrapped her swiftly with it and lifted her up.

Shinji started walking outside, the hospital his destination. Hiyori yanking at his hair, beating his chest, shoulder, back and what ever her hands could reach in this form.

"Lemme go NOW! Dickhead!" her protests were in vain, Shinji kept walking.

"Yer attracting way to needed attention, baka." Looking around her, Hiyori noticed the eyes that stared at them. Feeling embarrassed all of a sudden she hid her face in his hair, and she couldn't help notice how soft it felt, his sweet smell attacking her inside meanwhile.

-.-.-

"See it wasn't that bad at all, now yer foot won't hurt you anymore." Walking out side the doors of the hospital Hiyori just got treated in, a smile crept up her lips.

They didn't stick any needles in my poor skin.

"Yer afraid of needles, aren't ya?" smirking while walking pass her Hiyori shouted "AM NOT!"

"Now you need a new pair of shoes, yer usual sandal won't do." Yanking her hand that feel loosely beside her, walking a few minutes they finally reached a shoe store and entered in.

"Pick what ever ya like, am gonna go pick a new pair of shoes for me as well." Hiyori was at her limit, why this brainless kinda guy had this effect on her?

Roaming her surroundings looking for something suitable, Hiyori's eyes winded in aw at the sight she saw.

Colored pure red, with a frills decorating it's unique shape.

And the best part the little wings attached to the heels, it looked cute in Hiyori's eyes.

She never ever thought of her self as a girl, nor wanting girly stuff was a thing she yearned for, but this time this particular gaudy shoes attracted her, not that she was going to where it anywhere.

"What the heck is that? What a bad taste! All these frills make it look really stupid!" Shinji's voice came from behind her startling the poor Hiyori, regaining her composer she retorted "I wasn't looking at it at all ya baldy!"
"I was looking at this!" pointing her finger tip at a very simple black ballet that magically was placed right next to the shoe he suspected her for looking at.

Hiyori tried the new shoe on and walked around in it.

"It looks comfortable, and it's cheap. I found a pair that suited me, keep yers on and am gonna go pay for both."

Hiyori let out a sigh of relive, if he knew that she was really looking at that shoe he would not let her live it.

-.-.-

Hiyori was walking now on her own, Shinji already alerted if she shows any signs of falling, she refused to hold his hand this time saying that she was capable of walking on her own just fine. Shinji saw this only as a kind of her usual stubbornness and so he smirked.

Shinji spotted a stand for selling chocolate covered bananas, yanking her hand for the second time that day, he dragged her along to where that stand was "Two chocolate Bananas, please."

The old woman handed him the two sticks, Shinji handed one for Hiyori and then paid the old woman while saying his thanks.

"There is a park near by, why don't we stop their and eat those?" not that she had any reason to refuse, Hiyori only nodded in agreement while staring at the stick in her hand. The fact that he remembered that this was one of her favorite sweets made her heart warmer.

They both walked in silence until they reached the swings, sitting and swaying softly Shinji spoke breaking the silence "Next time make sure to be more careful." She was so important for him to risk losing, lecturing her would be the right thing to do.

"I get it already ya stupid badly! Why the hell ya even care about me so much?" Hiyori felt like she lost, shouting her heart out was the only way she knew that could help her now.

"The answer is simpler than ya think it is. And I already said it so many times." Standing up now Shinji was right in front of her, kneeling down and rustling through the bag he just bought from the shoe store.

His hands were now dressing her the shoes her heart loved.

Leaning closer and kissing her injured foot Shinji said sweetly "Because I love ya."

Hiyori was now beaten red, as she wanted so bad to kick his face with her foot, her heart beating so wildly as she muttered under her breath "Idiot!"

Shinji couldn't help but smile "I know."


I wanted the ending to be a little different though, but I guess it turned out this was eventually~
