A/N: Tadaa! Hello, my reviewers...if I have any xD Today's chapter consists of...fluffiness! Er...well I think that's what it's called. Anyway, we have some Penguinshippy moments here.

Kengo: ...oh no.

Me: Oh yes! Cue the disclaimer!

Kasumi: AmuletMisty does not own Pokemon. Or the Avatar movie...uh-oh, I just gave away the movie.

Me: Damn disclaimers . Okay then...Let's roll!

Chapter 13: The Words Come Out! I Love You!

It turned out that Haruka had picked out a movie that they would all enjoy: Avatar. It had great ratings everywhere and everyone said the 3D-graphics were amazing. Shuu and Kengo grinned at each other before the movie started. Action? Hell yeah! And there was romance too, which was great for the girls.

The room that the movie was playing in was quite big, which was so that it could accommodate the many people who wanted to watch the movie. The group managed to get perfect seats; central and not too close to the scene. Hikari was impressed at how Haruka managed to get such great tickets when she only planned the movie the day before. Unless she already had this plan in her mind all along. That was a scary thought.

The cinema was still quite brightly lit and the screen was blank. Hikari nudged Haruka's elbow. "I wasn't late! The adverts haven't even started."

"But the adverts are one of my favourite parts," Haruka told her. Haruka was sitting with Hikari on her left and Shuu on her right. Kengo was sitting besides Hikari.

Haruka put on her 3-d glasses. "Look, everything's 3-D. Isn't it cool?"

Shuu smirked and flipped his hair. "The world's 3-D. The glasses don't make a difference unless you're watching a movie." Shuu paused as Haruka glared at him. "You look kinda stupid too."

Haruka scowled at him. "What do you know? And it does make a difference! Now one side is red and the other's blue." She huffed and crossed her arms.

"...I change my mind. You look cute like that," Shuu teased.

Haruka turned pink but smiled. "Aww, you're so sweet."

Hikari's eye twitched. This was embarrassing to watch. Sure, it was cute in the canteen but that was mainly Haruka cuddling Shuu. She turned her head away from the couple and saw Kengo pretending to vomit. Hikari had to try hard to stifle her laughter. And Shuu and Haruka kept teasing each other, with Shuu teasing Haruka, Haruka getting sort of angry, and ending with Shuu saying something charming to her. Then she'd call him some weird names like 'honey' or 'sweetie' and then it would start all over again. Hikari thought she might actually vomit herself. Ten minutes passed and by now nearly the whole room had been filled.

"Someone start the adverts already," Kengo whispered, feigning a look of someone who was being tortured. This time Hikari couldn't help but giggle out loud.

Haruka's head whipped around to look at Hikari and raised her eyebrows. "Ahah! Are you guys flirting with each other?" Hikari and Kengo looked at each other and burst out laughing. Haruka, who didn't get it tilted her head to one side and asked, "What are you guys laughing at?" Which made them laugh even harder.

"Oi! You kids down there, shut up, the movie's going to start!" some random guy from a row above them shouted, even though it was only the adverts. Kengo and Hikari stopped laughing and put on their 3-D glasses, as the screen instructed them to. Shuu put his on as well, though he hesitated. It was quite funny to see a guy like Shuu who acted all cool, wearing 3-D glasses. Hikari was startled when there was a flash on her right. Shuu frowned as Haruka grinned at her phone and turned it off.

"You didn't just take a picture of me, did you?" asked Shuu.

"Of course not," said Haruka, which Hikari and Kengo mentally translated to : Hell yeah! This is going on Facebook!

"Oi! No phones allowed," called out the same person. Haruka turned around and stuck her tongue out to the man and then quietly turned off her phone. The rest of them put their phones on silent too as the lights were turned off.

Kengo showed Hikari a goofy sort of grin before facing the screen again. Hikari felt her heart skip a beat and turned slightly pink. She had forgotten Haruka's statement because of just now but now it just all came back to her.

It was like someone was taunting her for the whole movie. On her right side there was Haruka with her head on Shuu's chest with Shuu having his arm around her. And in the row in front of her there was another couple. And another couple. And another couple. Damn it, why did they have to go to the movie at this time. At least if it was in the afternoon it'd probably have fewer couples.

She tried concentrating on the movie, and she thought she did a pretty good job at it. Her mind drifted away for a few moments but not enough for her not to know what was going on. Unfortunately, half of the movie was based upon the two Avatar-people falling in love.

Get a grip, Hikari, she told herself. It's just a movie. Just like any other time you've seen a movie with Kenny. And you've seen lot's of movies with him with just you and him. And none of them counted as dates...did it? But...it must have looked like it. Just me and him, watching a movie – oh it must have looked like it. No, just because it looks like it doesn't mean it is one. Plus, it's not like we flirted or anything. That would be acting like Haruka and Shuu and that would be weird. And just now definitely wasn't flirting. We were just joking around and that doesn't count...or does it? I don't know! Argh, damn you Haruka.

A loud sniff from Haruka startled Hikari. She quickly looked up at the big screen to see what happened. It was the part where Neytiri accused Jake of betraying them and had the humans tied up. And then there were explosions and lot's of the Na'vi were killed when their Home Tree was destroyed. Hikari began to feel her own eyes start to water and wiped her eyes.

Don't cry Hikari, it's just a movie, there aren't any blue people really dying, Hikari tried to convince herself, but it didn't work this time because it was just a damn good movie. Maybe it was time to get out her tissues.

Suddenly she felt a hand on top of hers and flinched. She slowly glanced at Kengo who gave her a shy smile. She returned the smile and they continued to watch the movie in silence.

xxxxx

"That was the best movie of the year!" Haruka said for the tenth time after they had left the cinema.

"We know, we were there too, remember?" said Shuu, flipping his hair.

Haruka glared at him and he smirked.

"I thought it was a good movie too," Kengo said, trying to prevent another argument.

"Yeah, it was great," Hikari agreed.

Shuu shrugged. "Anyways, it's getting kind of late, we should hurry up."

"Yeah, me and Hikari are going this way." Kengo nodded towards the junction to the left.

"I'm walking Haruka home first, so we're going this way," Shuu said, looking at the other direction.

"Bye guys," Hikari said.

"Bye Hikari, bye Kengo, " Haruka replied.

The group parted ways and Kengo and Hikari started making their way home. It was getting darker and darker, and Hikari started to feel cold.

"This cardigan isn't warm enough," Hikari complained, scowling. It seemed like enough before she left, but now it felt like just a flimsy piece of cloth.

Kengo sighed. "I knew I should've brought my jacket. I would've lent it to you."

"You're too sweet Kengo, you know that?" Hikari had to stop her hands from jumping to her mouth. She couldn't believe she just said that...how embarrassing... God, she sounded like Haruka at that moment.

Kengo smiled at the compliment. "Well I do know." He suddenly frowned.

"What's the matter?"

"You are cold, your cheeks are even turning red."

Hikari didn't think the coldness had anything to do with the warmth in her cheeks, but she smiled nervously all the same. "It's okay...we're nearly t-t-there." Hikari sneezed violently.

Kengo jumped at the sound. "That was loud."

Hikari sniffed. "It's not my fault. Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Kengo tried to stop laughing, but failed. "Nothing...just your hair."

Hikari gave him a horrified look and took out her mirror. She groaned. "Not again."Her hair had stuck up when she sneezed and was somehow stuck in that position. She rummaged through her hand-bag for her hair-brush; she always carried one around for emergencies like this. She stopped walking in the middle of the sidewalk and started brushing her hair.

"Hikari, it's too cold to be thinking about your hair. C'mon, let's get home." Kengo started dragging Hikari by one arm.

"No! Kengo," Hikari protested, using her free hand to try to brush her hair.

Five minutes later they were standing in front of Hikari's doorstep. Kengo rang the doorbell, though no one answered. Hikari quickly took out the spare key from under the mat and unlocked the door.

"Mama?" she called out, her voice echoing throughout the house. She and Kengo walked into the kitchen and looked around. "She's not in here..."

"Hikari, look at this."

Hikari turned around and saw Kengo reading a blue sticky-note on her fridge. She walked up beside him and read it too.

Dear Hikari,

I've gone out for dinner with Kengo's mother. Won't be too late, so no need to worry. Oh and if he's still there tell Kengo that he can stay in our house for a bit. If he's not, he'll come back here soon since his mum locked the door.

Kengo and Hikari sweat-dropped at this.

Help yourselves to anything in the fridge if you're still hungry but don't finish everything, okay?. Oh and no sweets tonight Hikari, they're in the fridge but you know they're not good for you.

Love Mama.

"Guess you're staying here for a while," Hikari said. "I'm not hungry though, so what do you want to do?" Hikari's stomach grumbled at that moment. "Uh...that wasn't me."

Kengo chuckled. "Sure it wasn't." Then his stomach grumbled. "That wasn't me either."

"Sure it wasn't," Hikari imitated, opening the fridge door. "Hmm, so what do you want...a sandwich?"

Kengo shook his head. "Do you have any ice-cream?"

Hikari rolled her eyes. "It's freezing outside and you want ice-cream. Nu-uh."

"Your mum did say I could have anything," Kengo reminded her.

Hikari took out a cheese sandwich from the fridge and tossed it to Kengo. "That's all you're getting. And anyway, if I can't have any ice-cream, neither can you." She took out a cheese sandwich for herself and closed the fridge door. "It's only fair."

"Geez you're stubborn aren't you?" Kengo took a bite out of his sandwich then cringed. "That is cold!"

"Well, duh, it was in the fridge," Hikari took the sandwich from his hand and put it on a plate with hers. "We have to microwave it first." She started turning on the microwave and putting on the right settings.

"You could've warned me!"

Hikari stuck her tongue out at Kengo. "And you said you wanted ice-cream." The microwave made a ping sound to signify that it was done. Hikari removed the plate from the microwave. "Here it comes – ouch!" Hikari dropped the plate on the table and drew back her hand. She should've worn oven gloves for taking out the plate. "Ouch, I've burnt my finger."

Kengo laughed. "That's what you get!"

Hikari glared at him. "Not funny! It hurts." She started cradling her hand.

Kengo stopped laughing after realizing that Hikari was being serious. He got up and walked to her side. "Let me see it." Hikari gingerly lifted her hand and Kengo took it in his and examined it. "It doesn't look too bad, only a minor burn. We should run it under cold water first, though." He led her to the sink, positioned it under the tap and turned it on.

Hikari winced, but stayed silent. Kengo didn't say anything either, so only the sound of the water could be heard. After a while Kengo turned off the tap. He got a clean cloth out of a drawer and gently dabbed it on Hikari's hand. Hikari felt some sort of strange comfort in the amount of concentration Kengo was using.

"Are you okay?" he asked her quietly after a while.

"Yeah, no need to worry," Hikari replied. She looked up at Kengo and saw that his chocolate-coloured eyes were full of concern. "Really Kengo, it's fine. It's just a small burn, you don't have to worry so much." Hikari smiled to show that she really was okay, and Kengo seemed to understand and smile back.

"I was just looking out for you."

"I know." Kengo let go of her hand suddenly and turned away from her to put away the cloth. "Um...so what do you want to do now?" Kengo didn't answer her. "Er – Kengo?"

The reason why Kengo was not saying anything, was because he really couldn't hear her with his thoughts all over the place. Argh, I'm so stupid. I was holding her hand for too long. But I really couldn't help it. And that was the second time I held her hand. She didn't really seem to mind but still...

Hikari tapped Kengo's shoulder. "You okay there, buddy?"

Kengo quickly turned around. "Yes, of course I am. Let's go watch some TV." He started heading towards the living room.

Hikari shrugged. "Fine by me." She followed Kengo. The sandwiches remained forgotten.

Kengo had already sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels. Hikari took a seat next to Kengo. Now that she was on a comfortable chair and felt warm she started feeling sleepy.

"What do you want to watch?" Kengo asked her, not looking at her and still switching channels.

"Anything's fine." Hikari yawned, and tried to stifle it but it didn't really work. Not only that, but her eyelids started feeling heavy. "Hey Kengo, do you mind if I go to sleep."

"Sure," he said. Kengo finally found a channel he liked when he felt something on his shoulder. He had expected Hikari to go up to her room but she fell asleep and had started leaning on his shoulder. He glanced at her and was thinking of waking her up to help her get to the room but Hikari looked so peaceful at sleep.

"Goodnight Hikari," he whispered.

xxxxx

Hikari heard noises in the kitchen. It was probably her mum making breakfast. But she didn't one to wake up, her eyes felt too heavy. And besides, her pillow felt very comfortable at the moment. It was strange that she could hear her mum from all the way upstairs. Come to think of it, she didn't remember going back to her room. She remembered watching TV with Kengo for a while and then...

Hikari opened her eyes and realized that she had fallen asleep on the sofa, and was leaning against Kengo's chest. She tried to move but Kengo had his arm around her. He probably thought she was a pillow or something. She didn't really want to wake Kengo up, but she was hungry since she didn't have any dinner last night.

"Kengo," she said softly. "Wake up!" No response. She tried to wriggle free again but his arm just tightened. "Wake up Kengo!" she said a little louder. This time his eyes slowly started to open and he looked down. "Finally!"

She now expected Kengo to move his arm but he just stared at her. "Kengo...?"

He gave her a dazed sort of smile and actually hugged her tighter. "Nooo, don't go!"

"Huh? What are you doing? I'm hungry, let me go eat."

"No! You're mine. I'm not sharing you with anyone else."

Her cheek's started feeling warm. "W-what are you talking about?"

"I'm not letting you go. I lovee you."

Hikari's face was now flushed. Was Kengo actually awake? It seemed like he was still asleep. Kengo must have been dreaming about something weird.

"KENGO!" Hikari shouted. Kengo jumped, releasing Hikari , and sending the blanket that was covering the both of them flying off.

"Geez, took you long enough, didn't it?" she said flustered. She saw Kengo look completely embarrassed and grinned. "What was it that you were saying, again?"

Kengo's face was also red. "Shut up! I thought you were a giant marshmallow, okay?" Hikari laughed at him and his face turned redder. "Hey, I'm hungry! You can't blame guy for being hungry. It affects his dreams."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Hikari looked towards the kitchen. "Let's go eat."

"Good morning kids," Hikari's mum said when they entered the kitchen.

"Good morning," Kengo and Hikari replied. They sat across each other at the table, where pieces of buttered toast had already been made. The pair started eating as though they both had never seen food before.

Hikari's mum chuckled. "You guys didn't have dinner did you? I saw some cold sandwiches on the table. I went to the living room since the TV was on, but you both were sleeping. I didn't want to wake you guys up so I gave you guys a blanket."

"Oh yeah," Kengo said. "I wondered where that blanket came from."

"I remember doing the very same thing when you used to come for sleepovers. That was when you were both seven, how fast time flies! Of course, you're a little too old for sleepovers now." She chuckled again. "No more sleepovers for you Kengo."

Kengo turned pink. "Of c-course not." He quickly finished his breakfast and stood up. "Anyway, I should be going now, I have to get my stuff for school."

"It's alright, your mother sent over some clothes and your school bag here," she informed. "And anyway, I want to hear about your date last night."

Hikari and Kengo's faces blew up. "It wasn't a date!"

"If you say so. Oh Kengo, you can change in the guest room."

Kengo bowed. "Thank you!" He then went to the room.

"Mama!" Hikari hissed, trying hard not to hit her head against the table.

"What?"

"You were being...such a mum."

"No I wasn't."

"Yes, you were, you made it sound like he wanted to sleep here or something."

She laughed. "Well, he looked comfortable enough last night. You did too, I must say."

Hikari turned red again. "Mama!" she whined.

"Now, now Hikari. You'd better go get ready for school."

"Fine," Hikari gave in, and made her way upstairs. For some reason, Kengo's 'I love you' was playing in her mind. She only wished that Kengo had actually been awake and actually meant it.

A/N: OH BUT HE DOES MEAN IT!HEHEHEHEHE! Well in his head, anyway. Kengo thought Hikari was a marshmallow...that was the first food that popped into my mind.

Hikari: How embarrassing.../

Me: But it was cuuute! Well, to me it was, not sure about what our reviewers think. Oh, and I had to Wiki stuff about Avatar since I forgot it xD It wasn't that important though, the only fact that was needed to be known was that it was sad, but whatever. I'm trying to finish this story as fast as I can! Next chapter will be: The Wedding! 8D And since someone had asked about it, yes, I might have Iris and Dento make cameos in the wedding. I just love the new Isshu characters x3 I can't believe they named it 'Unova' in English though o.e Oh, and in case you were wondering...that didn't count as a confession. ~looks up~ I really need to work on my descriptions ~

Anyway, please review! :D

Mijumaru: Miju Miju!
