Spotlight Story: Magical Love

Chapter 7: The Big Project and Spring Dance

Every student within the class stared at the teacher as she explained the project. "So, in short, you'll pair up with a partner and share the responsibilities of taking care of this sack of flour. You will treat this sack of flour as your own child. And please don't immature about this." she remembered the horror of having to go through health class last year, and it wasn't a pretty memory.

"Now, please go find a partner. There are the same number of boys as there are girls so there shouldn't be any problems." When she was done speaking everyone got up to start asking for partners. The majority of the girls were of course by Hitsugaya; while Momo, herself, got some people asking her.

She grew a bit nervous and looked around, when suddenly, out of the crowd, Hitsugaya appeared. "Hey, Momo, want to be my partner?" he asked nonchalantly.

The girls all had their mouths wide opened. Thoughts of 'How could he pick her over me' arose. "I… sure." she said with her smile as the group slowly dispersed. They glared at Momo before leaving, however. Momo, still surprised at Hitsugaya asking her to be her partner, walked with towards the teacher. "Momo and I will be partners."

"Ok, I'll mark that down right now."

"So…Why'd you want me to be your partner?" she said hoping for the right answer.

"Why else? It'll be easier since we're living together." His simple answer wasn't exactly what Momo thought was the 'right answer'.

"Oh, ok."

"Why?"

"Nothing, I was just wondering." He paid it no attention and walked back to his seat. The bell rung and the class was dismissed. Momo met up with Rukia at break.

"You'll never guess what happened!" she said excitedly to her best friend. "What?"

"Hitsugaya-kun wanted me to be his partner for our project!"

"I bet he really does like you." she said with a smirk. "Well, I don't think it's that. I asked him why and he said it was only because we live together."

"Really. I thought you were the smart one. He's obviously lying."

"Why would Hitsugaya lie to me about that?"

Rukia slapped herself on the forehead with her palm as she sighed. "Because he likes you. What do you think I've been trying to tell you this whole time?"

"There's no way he likes me… We live together so the project will be easier to complete this way…"

"Fine, just keep telling yourself that."

The next couple of days turned into weeks and they were passing by quickly. Momo and Toshiro, with help from the now-completed project, were definitely getting closer, but still unable to express how they felt. Watching all this was Rukia, who had finally managed to approach Ichigo. They were finally together now as noted by Hinamori.

Rukia's next goal was now to get the two of them together, and the timing couldn't be any better as the Spring Dance was coming up.

Hitsugaya was still trying to think up ways to ask Momo. Even though he was genius, this was ridiculously hard for him. "Momo, would you like to go to the dance with me?"

"Momo, I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me?"

"Momo, how about you go to the dance with me?"

After multiple failed attempts, he finally found the one that sounded the best. Rushing for Momo's room, ready to ask her, before he would lose his newfound courage. He knocked on the door and waited for her response.

"Come in."

When he walked in, he saw her usual tidy room and her reading a book. "Hitsugaya-kun? What's up?"

As he prepared to speak the sudden, unexpected jolt of nervousness surged through his body. "Well… I… I just wanted to know… if you would… you know, like to go to the dance with me…" He didn't dare look at her and couldn't only wait for her answer.

Momo was blushing crazy, unable to believe that Hitsugaya had just asked her. She was still in shock and didn't answer right away, however, when Hitsugaya heard nothing he assumed the worst. "As friends?" He said out of nowhere because of his anxiety.

Momo's heart sank low and her blush erased. "Ok."

Hitsugaya gave her a shy smile before leaving, cursing at himself for chickening out at the last minute.

Author's note: I really hope it was to your satisfaction. I'm sure all you noticed how much I rushed on this, but it was either to rush it or to stop writing it altogether. I just don't have any more motivation for this fic and I don't think many people like it. I'll probably post the next chapter, which is also the last chapter, soon. On top of that, though, I'll be adding another fic, which will hopefully be better than this one.
