Title: I'll Take A Bullet For You


Nozomi and Eli were working late at the student council room and Eli was carrying a lot of documents and Nozomi knew she was working too hard.

"Ericchi, let's have some rest. We can do this tomorrow." Nozomi said with a worried tone and Eli placed the documents on the table and said, "I'm fine, Nozomi. Really. You can go home if you like."

"You're stubborn sometimes..." Nozomi muttered and Eli just shook her head and continued to work.

An hour later Eli decided to call it a day and was really tired and Nozomi walked her home.

"Ericchi, would you take a bullet for me?" Nozomi asked and Eli thought it was out of the blue for Nozomi to ask something like that but to be honest she would take a bullet for her best friend and she's sure that Nozomi will do the same.

"Of course, Nozomi. Are you feeling okay? You're usually confident in our friendship." Eli said, a little worried about her best friend.

Nozomi looked at Eli and smiled and said, "Thank you, Ericchi...I'd do the same for you..."

Suddenly, a gang of girls came and one said, "Well Well Well, look what we have here. Two high school students who probably have a ton of money."

Eli and Nozomi knew what was going on and tried to run the other way but they were cornered, no one else was around and Eli wanted to fight but they had knives and guns.

"Come on, blondie. You look rich. Give me the money." the girl said with a really intimidating voice and Nozomi had to take action.

"I don't have money at the moment so leave me and my friend alone." Eli growled as she tried to control her anger.

"Oh really? I guess you chose the hard way." The girl said as she pointed the gun at Nozomi and Eli knew why Nozomi asked those questions. She knew this will happen all along and when the gun was triggered Eli jumped in front of it and it shot her arm.

"Oh no. This wasn't supposed to happen. Everyone retreat!" The leader said as they all left and Eli slowly fell to the ground and said, "I told you, Nozomi. I would take the pain with you."

Nozomi's eyes were filled with tears and said "Ericchi, why did you do that?"

Eli smiled and said, "I told you before, I'd take a bullet for you. You'd do the same anyway."

Eli slowly closed her eyes and became unconscious and Nozomi quickly took her to the hospital.

'Ericchi, you're now hurt because of me...I should be the one who was shot...'

Nozomi's tears were streaming down her face and she heard Eli speak,

"Don't blame yourself...I just wanted to repay you for all the times you...helped me."

Eli slowly closed her eyes and Nozomi knew there was no time to go to a hospital so she directly went to her house instead and wrapped Eli's wound with a bandage.

"Ericchi...this is terrible. I'm terrible." Nozomi said as she cried.

Eli slowly woke up and said, "I'm not leaving you alone, Nozomi..."

"Ericchi! You're alive!" Nozomi said with a relieved smile and hugged Eli.

"You thought I was dead? Have a little bit of trust in me, Nozomi. I won't die that easily." Eli said with a chuckle and Nozomi missed that about her.

"But what about the bullet? How will I take it out?" Nozomi asked with a worried tone.

"It's fine. We'll go to the hospital tomorrow. You worry too much, Nozomi." Eli said as she gave a kiss on Nozomi's cheek and Nozomi blushed.

"Mou! Ericchi! Not at a time like this!" Nozomi said with a pout and Eli giggled at Nozomi's reaction.

"Thank you...Ericchi." Nozomi said shyly as she averted her eyes away from Eli.

"Don't worry. No matter what happens. I'll take the pain with you and I'm sure you'll do the same for me as well." Eli said with a smile.

'Ericchi, I really really like you...' Nozomi thought as they both gazed at each others eyes. Hoping that they both feel the same way about each other.
