"Happy now?" Kashino asked, a look of impatience on his face.
Ichigo stared at the walls, "No." She replied, "It looks too pale."
Kashino threw up his hands, "But I've painted the wall twice!"
Ichigo whimpered at his outburst, "Don't get mad! I just think it's still too pale..."
Kashino sighed, rubbing his hands on his paint splattered overalls and grabbing the paint brush, "Alright, one more coat of paint, but you are helping this time."
"What?" Ichigo exclaimed, "Why?"
"Because you can't do anything but say something bad about it, I know you won't say something bad about your own work." Kashino smirked.
Ichigo's cheeks turned pink, she hated how he knew her so well. "W-well..." She countered, "I can't paint a room wearing this!" She gestured to her pink skirt and power pink spaghetti strap shirt.
"I thought you might say something like that!" Kashino replied, grabbing his paper bag, he pulled out a light pink T-shirt and blue jean overalls, "These are my sister's old clothes, they should fit you."
Ichigo pouted, "Fine!" She grabbed the clothes and went off to the bathroom.

Ichigo came back, a frown on her face, "I hate this outfit."
Kashino laughed, "Oh come on! You look cute."
Ichigo had on the pink shirt and overalls, the overall's legs were a little bit baggy on her, exposing only the tips of her sneakers, her hair was put up in a pink newsboy hat. "The hat is a nice touch," Kashino added.
Scoffing Ichigo replied, "Yeah well, I couldn't find my clips so I had to use the hat instead."
A smile spread across Kashino's face, he handed her the paintbrush, "Ready?"
XxXxX
Ichigo whined constantly, "KASHINO!" She wailed, "My arm hurts, we've been doing this for too long."
He sighed, "We haven't even gotten that far."
"This is boring," She whimpered.
"Yeah, well painting your room isn't my favourite pastime either."
She bit her lip, "It still looks to pale anyway."
Kashino looked at the corner of the room, "What is that last paint can?"
"Oh, it's a chocolate sort of colour; it's left over paint from my parent's last room colour."
Kashino smirked, "Ooh, I've got an idea."
Ichigo smiled and a giggle escaped her lips, "I've got a bad feeling about this." She teased.
"Oh shut up," Kashino laughed, "Trust me, you'll love this."
XxXxX
"So that's what I want you to do alright?" Kashino asked her.
"Um, alright?" Ichigo said, half answering, half in question.
Kashino opened the can of chocolate coloured paint, "Okay! Here we go."
He poured some paint into the tin and dipped in the roller; he started at the middle and rolled it down in a straight line. Ichigo got out the wallpaper border and began making pencil marks on the wall as to where she was going to place the border later on.
Kashino wiped the sweat off his brow and continued on. By the end, Ichigo's room was finished. Her room was a pale pink and had thick brown striped going vertically down from the middle of the wall. Kashino and Ichigo stuck the wallpaper border to the middle where the brown lines started. It was white with pink and white strawberries.
Ichigo's eyes widened in delight as she took a step back to stare at the finished room, "Wow Kashino! This is amazing!"
"Didn't I tell you it was going to be?" He smiled.
"Well yeah... But I wasn't expecting something like this!" Her eyes sparkled delightfully, "Now we can put everything back in my room."
Kashino nodded, "Alright."

By the time they had Ichigo's furniture the sun was setting. "Want a snack in the kitchen Kashino?" Ichigo asked politely.
"Gladly," Kashino accepted, "I could use one."
The two sat at the kitchen table, still in their paint splatter clothes. Ichigo got out tea biscuits and tea. She smiled, "Tea is always a great way to relax after working hard."
Kashino nodded, accepting the tea and taking a sip, "Do you like your room Amano?"
Ichigo nodded, "It's perfect."
"And it's even better because you did it," Kashino told her, "with a little help from me of course."
"Who could forget you?" She laughed, "No one, because you always remind them."
"Exactly," He winked. His eyes widened and he got up and got his plastic bag, "I almost forgot I got you these."
He took out a sheet of wall stickers. Ichigo gasped in shock, "Those are limited edition strawberry and chocolate wall stickers! I saw the commercial!"
He grinned, "I knew you'd like them!" He handed them to her, "Want to hang them in your room now? The paint should be dry enough."
"Yes yes!" Ichigo cheered, "Let's do that now!"
XxXxX
The sheet of wall stickers was now half gone, Ichigo had plastered the wall stickers all around the room. The pink strawberries and bon bon chocolates scattered across the light pink wall. Ichigo had even put some on the closet door. Now, she was jumping up trying to paste a large pink strawberry near the top corner of the window. She jumped and just happened to slip on the sticker sheet she had set on the ground. Kashino swooped down and picked her up.
"Amano..." He said, "Don't be so clumsy."
"I-I'm sorry," She blushed.
"Here," Kashino replied, blush hinting at his cheeks, "I'll do it." He reached up and placed the sticker in Ichigo's desired location.
"Thanks Kashino," She whispered.
"It's no problem," He nodded, "I mean... There's nothing we can do about your clumsiness."
Her blush turned red, "W-well..."
He took a step closer to her but, slipped on the same cursed sheet, in an attempt to keep himself from falling he grabbed onto Ichigo's wrist, but did nothing but pull her down. She landed on top of him, her face buried into his chest. She screamed, muffled by Kashino, and shot up, "K-K-Kashino!" She wailed.
He blushed, "S-sorry! I didn't mean to..."
She smirked at him, clearly recovered, "Who did you say was clumsy again?"
He growled, "You did not just go there."
"What if I did?" She asked her eyebrows rose.
"That's it, you're getting the one and only punishment for only Amano Ichigo."
Her eyes crinkled in confusion, "What's the Amano Ichigo punish..." She was cut off by a kiss from the blond boy. Her brown eyes widened in shock, "Mph!" She gasped.
Kashino pulled apart from her and stared into her eyes, He felt the words slip past his lips, "Ichigo..."
She stared up at him, an innocent look on her face, "Makoto..." She whispered. She got up on her tip toes and pecked him quickly on the lips and then hugged him tightly.
A small smile appeared on his face. He cradled her in his arms, "I love you Ichigo."
"I love you too."
They sat down on her bed, staying in each other's arms before Kashino finally asked, "When did you start loving me?"
She closed her eyes, "Ever... Ever since I met you."
He kissed her again, an emotion burning inside of him, "I love you so much Ichigo. Ever since I laid my eyes on you, I knew it, you were the only girl I could ever want."
She smiled, her cheeks flushed a cute pink, "Aw, thanks Kashino."
He cuddled with her for what seemed like forever until the sun began to finally disappear under the ground. Ichigo lay on her bed, staring up at ceiling, replaying what had happened. She heard the door open and her mom poked her head into her room, "Wow Ichigo!" Her mother exclaimed, "your room looks amazing, your boyfriend really knows his ways with paint!"
Ichigo sat up and smiled, "I guess he does, doesn't he?"
"I like your outfit too," Her mother laughed.
"He gave me that too."
Her mother smiled, "I'll be in my room if you need me."
Her mother went to her own room and stared at her wedding picture, "She didn't even deny that he wasn't her boyfriend," She said aloud to herself, "What exactly happed will I was gone?"
