A/N: since today is Christmas, I thought I should do something special for those who like my fic^_^ this is a short side story that may not even relate to the real fic that I am writing, so just a warning, enjoy!
~~
It is a windy afternoon, Usagi walked down a street with her arms pulling her jacket more closer to her body. The windy blew her long pigtails everywhere.
"Dang, it's sooo cold," Usagi mumbled and trembled, "Today's the 15th isn't it?" Usagi looked up at the cloudy sky, "Christmas is coming? Heheh sure feels like it." Usagi pulled her jacket more closer. She walked pass a frozen pond, there were little boys and girls skating on the ice while their parents watched and smiled.
"That looks so fun," Usagi said and her face turned pink, "I wish I could skate." Usagi walked up closer and she looked at all those people on the rink. "Everyone is so busy today, Makoto, I know she can skate, but she has finals," Usagi frowned, "I guess I have to wait till she's free to learn." Usagi turned back and started walking away but then screams filled the air with terror.
"HELP!!! MY BABY!!!" a woman cried as she watched her dear daughter struggling to get out of the ice water. Her head went under the ice.
"Oh no! she must have been on the thin ice area," Usagi said and rushed to help until she saw a boy jumped in. The boy grabbed her out of the ice and then jumped out himself. Another person was doing CPR to the little girl and the boy was shaking but he stared at her until she breathes again.
"Oh! Darling!" the mother hugged her little girl right after she had let out a small cough.
"Mo-mommy?" the little girl said softly.
"Phew, she's safe," Usagi said and she stared at the boy shrugging as the mother tried to thank him.
"It was nothing," he said and left.
"Wait!" Usagi said and tried to catch up with the boy. "Wait! I'm talking to you, the one that had just save that little girl!" Usagi said and the boy stopped and turned back. His brown hair was still wet and his brown eyes shined by the little sunlight from the cloudy sky.
"Yeah? What is it?" he said coldly.
"I-I saw you rescue that little girl. It-it was amazing!" Usagi said and her eyes glittered as she moved closer to him.
"Uhhh," he sweat-dropped, this girl is crazy. he moved back a little, "It was nothing," he said and started walking again, leaving Usagi staring into space.
"Hey! You can't just leave in the middle of a conversation!" Usagi said and hit him on the head with a plastic hammer.
"HEY!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME?!?" the boy screamed and Usagi fell on the ground.
"Ow!!" she rubbed her back.
"Here," the boy said and reached out a hand for her.
"Thanks," Usagi smiled and the boy blushed. Once he realized this, he quickly turned around.
"Well if there isn't anything else, I have to get home," the boy said and left.
"But wait! I don't even know your name!" Usagi said and frowned, man Usagi, you did it again. You meet a great guy and you just let him leave without a name… She looked around, "Oh well, maybe we'll meet again." Usagi left the other way.
~~
In a townhouse in the front of a park, the boy entered a home titled, 'Hayama.'
"I'M HOME!!" the boy said and took off his shoes and scarf.
"Akito?" a girl came out of the kitchen.
"Yeah? What do you want, Natsumi?" Akito said and sat down on the couch.
"WHERE WERE YOU??" Natsumi screamed and Akito fell off the couch.
"Waa!!" he exclaimed, "I went out, what else?"
"Well duh but why ARE you wet?" Natsumi said.
"Oh that…well I fell in a pond," Akito said.
"Wa?" Natsumi stared at him.
"What you don't believe me?" Akito said, "Would you believe that I jumped into a pond to save a little girl?"
"Well, no. alright so you fell, go get change THEN!! You're getting the carpet wet!!" Natsumi screamed and Akito got up.
"Alright, Alright Miss Bossy!!" Akito said and went to his room. He closed the door behind him. He looked at the floor and touched his head, an image of Usagi appeared in his head, who was that strange chick? I mean hitting me like that!! Oh well at least she's a little cute. He closed his eyes and then went to get change.
~~
The next day…Usagi walked around the pond again and again until her ankle started to ache.
"Owwww…." Usagi said and sat down. She started rubbing her ankles, "I wonder if I'll meet that boy again." the very thought made Usagi blush. She sat there for another hour.
"Hmm…still not here. I guess I was too foolish, I mean why would he come back here today?" Usagi sighed, "I guess I better get home." Usagi got up and then she felt something that made her turned around, "huh?" she looked across the pond and there was Akito.
"He-He's really here!" Usagi said and smiled. "HEY!" She yelled and waved. She quickly ran forward and entered the pond. When she realized that she wasn't moving, she gulped and then fell on the ice. "Oww…" she sniffed and rubbed herself. She looked over and Akito was gone, "I ruined my chance again." she started to cry but the her tears stopped when she looked up at the hand in front of her.
"Are you alright? If you can't skate, then don't get on the ice," Akito said and looked away, "Now come on, I better get you off the ice." Usagi gripped onto his hand and he slowly got Usagi off the ice, of course with some difficulties because Usagi was clinging on to him nonstop.
"There!" Akito said and helped her seated.
"Thank you," Usagi sniffed and wiped her face.
"Why are you crying, cry baby. You just fell," Akito said and looked up.
"Hey!! Have some sympathy will you?!?" Usagi said and smacked Akito from the back which cause him to land forwards and fall on the cold ice.
"Hey!! Why did you do that?" Akito screamed.
"Cause you were being mean," Usagi sniffed.
Akito looked at her and then sighed, "Yeah yeah." he sat down next to her, "So what is your name crybaby?"
"I'm not a CRYBABY!!!" Usagi screamed and Akito looked at her. He laughed out loud. "what's so funny?" Usagi said and looked at him.
"You…I can't imagine you angry, you know, you're quite cute when you're angry," Akito said and moved close to her face. Usagi felt her face turning hot and then turned away.
"Why can't I be angry? I'm human too," Usagi muttered.
"Alright, Alright, so what is your name? I can't keep on calling you crybaby now, can I?" Akito teased.
"My name is Usagi, Tsukino Usagi," Usagi said, still refusing to look at him.
"Usagi huh? Will that's an okay name but I like meatball head better," Akito said.
"Meatball head? MEATBALL HEAD?" Usagi screamed.
"Yes, and that is what I am going to call you, 'meatball head'" he said and grinned.
"Oooh, fine," Usagi said, "You call me what ever you want." she looked away.
"Alright, then 'meatball head' it is," Akito said and got up, "Well meatball head, I have to go now, so see ya." Akito started walking a few steps until something pulled him back.
"Hey wait a minute! You didn't tell me your name," Usagi said.
"Well that's cause you didn't ask!" Akito said and Usagi remained speechless.
"Well," she finally muttered, "what is your name?"
"My name? Hayama," Akito said.
"Hayama? What about your first name?" Usagi said.
"That I don't tell anyone," Akito said.
"Alright fine then, Hayama," Usagi said and let go.
"Now that everything is finish, I'm going," Akito said and left. Usagi stared back, I found out his name today, Hayama, but I also found out something else……that he is A SELF ABSORBED, OBNOXIOUS GUY!!!!
~~~
The next day, Usagi went to the pond again, but this time, Hayama didn't show up, nor did the day after and the day after that. Soon a week passed and Hayama was nowhere to be seen.
Maybe…he's not coming anymore…
Usagi looked at the sky, it's been ages since we last meet…I wonder if he still remembers me…Man stupid me, I'm thinking about hopeless stuff again…I mean I only met him once… and I don't know anything about him…why would he come to see me? I mean he probably doesn't even know if I exist or not…
Usagi sighed and frowned, Tomorrow's Christmas…if he doesn't come by tomorrow…then he probably would never come…just one more day… Usagi looked around and then went home.~~~
Christmas's day… Usagi walked along the sides of the pond. She looked up at the sky once more and then prayed.
Please, let him come…I want to see him again, Usagi whispered and then sat down. An hour and soon two hours passed, Usagi still remained in her usual place, looking at the other side of the rink. Once it hit 3 pm, Usagi got up, it's no use, he's not coming… Usagi frowned and then started walking back. Then, suddenly she stopped and looked up at the sky, it was snowing! Little white flakes started falling one by one and Usagi smiled and laughed out, "It's snowing! Unbelievable, I hasn't snowed in years!" Usagi said and danced around.
"Meatball head," A familiar voice said and she turned around.
"Ha-Hayama?" Usagi looked at brown haired boy in a thin jacket and scarf, he was staring and smiling right at her. He opened his arms out and Usagi ran into his arms, "Hayama?"
"Hey Meatball head, did I keep you waiting?" Akito said and smiled.
"What happened? You never came back so I thought you…" Usagi cried.
"I fell sick, after that little girl incident I have been getting headaches. I fainted on my way home that day we talked and my sis wouldn't let me come out till I'm fully healed," Akito said and hugged her.
"Oh," she looked up at him. He still looked a little sick, "are you feeling better now?"
"Yes, I had to sneak out today to meet you, I didn't want you all out here by yourself," Akito said, "I mean that would make you look stupid."
"Hey!" Usagi said and hit him with a hammer.
"Ow! What is with you and hitting me?!?" Akito said.
"You had me all worried!" Usagi said.
"Wa? Why are you worried?" Akito asked.
"Why else!! I care about you duh!!" Usagi said.
"What? But we're almost complete strangers!" Akito pointed out.
"Strangers!! Of course but still we talked!!!!" Usagi said.
"Alright Alright," Akito said and coughed, "You're still cute when you're angry."
"You…" Usagi sniffed and smiled.
"So…how about a kiss?" Akito asked and Usagi blanked out.
"Wha? A kiss?!? Yeah right! You're still sick and as you said we're strangers," Usagi said and started walking forward a little.
"Strangers? But you just….and I'm not sick!" Akito said.
"Yeah? Then why did you cough before?" Usagi said.
"Well that was…" Akito said. Usagi looked at him and then noticed his clothing.
"Wa!!! it's snowing and you're out in that thin jacket?!? You must be crazy, come on, let's get you home," Usagi said and grabbed his hand.
"But wait!!" Akito held on to her, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
"Wah?" Usagi blushed uncontrollably.
"I do, and I think I am in love with you," Akito said.
"Wah? You're kidding right?" Usagi said and tried to get out of his arms.
"Well yeah, I would think so too, I mean who would love a klutz and a crybaby, meatball head like you," Akito said.
"Hey!!" Usagi said and tried hitting him until Akito kissed her.
"Nope, I guess it's not love," Akito teased.
"Hey!!" Usagi said, now she was blushing way out of control. She started hitting him, "Why you!!!!"
~~
The next day, Hayama residence…
"Ahhchooooo…" Akito sneezed in his bed, there was a pile of used tissues on the counter.
"Here," Usagi said and handed him some more tissues, "And you went out in a thin jacket and scarf."
"Hey, I was in a rush," Akito said, "AHHCHHOOO!!"
~~~
THE END!!!
