A BAD DAY OF VALENTINE! THE BOYS FEELING
Valentine day. A day where the girls made a sweet things for their dearest person. A day where the guys waited for their girlfriends to give them a sweet thing that home made. Today, the snow still poured the town, so maybe the girls and the boys though that it was more romantic than the ordinary day.
Akihiko stared at his locker, a lot of boxes and a letters inside it. He wonder how the girls knew his locker's sighed, grabbed all of the presents and tidied it up. "What should I do with this?" he sounded confused. The boxes and the letters really confessed the girls feeling, especially the colours, pink, blue, red and purple. The valentine day, and Akihiko knew that he experienced this kind of thing every year. Yeah, he's popular after all.
It wasn't like he dislike the gifts or what, a letter yeah it was an easy thing to handle for him, but a sweets like cake or chocolate, he wondered because he didn't like a sweet things and he knew that the girls gave a lot of sugar on it as a proof of their feelings toward him. One more, it's impossible for him to throw it away, because it wasted. He only sighed, and started to go to his class.
Saori and Akira entered the laboratory went to the lecturer room. Both of them suprised, they saw two boxes with different colour, pink and blue on the assistant's table . Each of them took the little box and read the little message on it. It was Minako's handwritting.
Happy Valentine, Saori-chan!
Happy Valentine, Rei-chan!
Both of them smiled, especially Akira. Because Minako wrote his name with his childhood name. "That's Minako-chan for us!" Saori said while he pinched Akira's arm because his stupid smiled face, he couldn't stop smilling.
"So, where the culprit behind this?"Akira said jokingly. He looked around the room. Nobody there except them. He then sat on the chair and opened the box, "Maybe she goes to the lecturer room and the club to give the chocolate." He then smiled and took the chocolate, "So, just wait here..."
Saori then remembered that Minako told her taht she would made a lot of chocolate because she wanted to thank the people who always helped her. She then smiled, "Yeah maybe you're right...Would you a cup of chocolate, Rei-san?" Saori asked the boy while she went to the little pantry inside the lab.
"Nah, maybe the tea will work. I doubt that I'll eat chocolate this entire day ." he answered.
Saori chuckled, "Yeah, you're right.."
"Hey, about Minako...how is your opinion?"
"Opinion about what?" Saori asked as she walked to the table and put a cup of tea in front of Akira and she sat front of him. "About her relationship?" she aked back. She saw a guilty face on Akira's face.
"Wha- I haven't say anything!" he blushed.
Saori chuckled. She stirred her cup with a little spoon and drank the tea. "But I can read it on your face Rei-san. You're jealous right?"
"Ac-Actually it isn't like that..." he tried to cleared his mind and words, so he could gave her a right explanation. "It's just...I worried about her..."
"Worried?"
Akira sighed and smiled, "She is sometimes, really stubborn, troublesome, crybaby sometimes but she was really gentle, care and...she looks like my sister."
Saori surprised, "Your sister? Haven't heard you had one. Where is she now?"
"She passed away. Before I entered the college, because that 'accident'." He smiled a little, a sad smile.
Shocked with Akira's explanation about her sister, Saori didn't know how to react. She looked sad and kept silent for a while, "Sorry. I didn't mean to make you remembered that sad memories."
Akira chuckled, he didn't mean to make Saori sad either. "It's alright. I'm okay now...it's just a past and I can handle my own feeling too. So, please don't apologize."
"Back, to Minako.." Saori tried to change the subject, "So, you like her like she was your sister?" Akira nodded and drank his tea. Saori kept a silent for a while, she understood with Akira's reason, but she knew something different happened between them. She smiled, "But I know something that you don't know Akira..."
"What?"
"You fallen with her..."
Akira stood from his chair, "I'm not! Like I said, I treat her like my little sister!"
"But you see her on different way..."
"OH yeah, do you have any proof?"
"You worried about her, helped her, dejected when Sanada-san made her cry and..."
"It's normal!"
Saori shooked her head, "An ah...It isn't...I can see it how you see her and how you smile to her. It isn't normal. You should tell her your feeling, because you know it right, she is pretty popular, and Sanada-san and Arata-san after her too..."
"But.."
"It's okay. You must brave Rei-san..."
"If she reject me?"
"I'll take the responsibillity and the consequence..." Saori smiled.
Akira shocked, he couldn't believe that Saori would said something like that. The responsibillity and the consequence? Is she nuts? How could she said something like that easily. Something that related with people feeling, he personally couldn't do it because he afraid to make Minako sad. Because he knew, Minako saw him just as a friend.
A sound from the door, made Akira woke from his own thought. He and Saori turned to the door. It opened, and a petite girl looked tired, entered the room with a long sigh. "Hhh...what a day..."
"Speaking of the devil..." Saori whispered to Akira and he blushed. Akira approached her and pinched Minako's head, tried to get the girl's attention. Minako surprised and looked at the person in front of her, she looked little mad.
"Can you stop teasing me?" she pinched him back.
"I can't because your face told me to tease you.." he joked.
Minako giggled, "My face, huh?" she entered the lecturer room, "I regreted to make and give my chocolate to you." She then saw Saori sat on the assitant's desk. "Hey Saori-chan...how is it? Do you like it?"
"Thanks! Minako-chan!" Saori sounded happy, then she handed Minako a little and long box. "I'm sorry I'm just give you one bar of chocolate that I had made..." Minako shook her head and smiled.
"You're really good at it..." Akira praised her.
"Are the taste good Akira-kun...?" she asked.
Akira nodded, "Yeah, and the hazelnut, it was really delicious..."
"Glad to hear that, your favorite, right?" she smiled at him.
"So already gave the rest to the other?" Saori asked, "You made a lot right? I saw you brought a little bag. And no doubt that inside it was a lot of chocolate's boxes, right?" She took Minako's bag and looked at inside it. She took a red maroon box with a gold ribbon on it. Saori raised on of her eyebrows, "Sanada-senpai...right?"
Minako face got into red. She tried to get the box again, but Saori threw it to Akira, and he catched it, "A-Akira-kun!" Minako shouted.
"Hmm..never knew that he loves a sweet thing, because my informant said that he never ate the sweets at the canteen...except, the castella cake..." he investigated the box.
Minako took the box from Akira, "Just give it back to me already!" she sounded little mad, "And what kind of informant do you have? Are you a spy or what...?"
"Alright..no harm..." Akira said with a joke tone. "Or I can't go out with the girls tonight..."
"Like you have one..." Minako teased him.
"Do you want to become my date tonight, milady?"
"In your dream bigbro!"
"So, you'll give it to Arata-san as well?" Saori asked. Minako turned around and looked at Saori. "He's your fiancee, right?"
"Uh-huh..." Minako nodded a little. Then she looked at her watch , "Gotta' go now!" she started to dashed out from the lab.
"WAIT FOR THE WHITE DAY 'KAY!" Akira shouted at her.
"LIKE I CARE!" she shouted back.
Saori looked at Akira, "So, you're really have a crush with her right?"
Akira kept silent, "..maybe..." then he started to turn on his notebook.
Minako walked the corridor, searched for someone, Hmm..where is he...? she looked around, and looked really annoyed, a lot of couple walked with held each other hand, joked, talked, "Oh...it is really irritating..." It wasn't like she wanted it. But, could these people realized that they were inthe public area, holding hand, okay it is normal, but kissed, shared each food, could they stopped it for a while or did it in the other place. It was really embarassing
Then she remembered, it wasn't her problem and why she should care with them. Today was the day to show your love. You didn't have the right to warn them, Minako. So she must admit it, somehow. Suddenly someone embraced her, "Kyaaa..." she screamed a little.
"Lookin' for someone my dearest?"
She turned her head and saw the person face, it was him, Arata Takumi. Her face got into red, "Ta..Takumi! Just stop it already!" she sounded little mad, "And what are you doing here! You're not the collagues from this college right?"
"I won't release you until you give me the chocolate..." he teased her. "It's a special day for us...that's why I come here."
"You're such a persisstant person..." she tried to release his grip. "I don't have any for you!" she shouted at him.
"You're lying, I know that..." he chuckled, "Hey come on, don't be so shy like that..." he teased her, he placed his arms around her waist, "Shall we go, my dearest?" he dragged her out of the college.
"Hey, where are we going!"
Minako tried to catch her breath. Unbelieved, Takumi took her to the amusement park. As soon as they arrived, Takumi went to the jet coaster and took Minako to get on it. First, Minako shocked, she couldn't believe that Takumi would do something like this. Fortunely she didn't have a weak hearts, for the truth, she liked it. The adrenaline rush. After they rode it, Takumi left to buy some drinks and she let Minako alone.
How that stupid! I can't believe that he did this! Are he nuts! Minako thought. But, for the truth she missed this feeling, joyful and happiness. After Minato and Ryouji died, the sadness filled her heart. Akihiko gave her a warm and gentle feeling, but what Takumi did today, was different. He made her remembered how to feel happy.
Minako knew, Takumi wasn't a bad person. But she couldn't handle it, his selfish side it was really irritating her. And for today, she felt bad to him, because she lied. She opened her bag and took a little box with green colour. She made it for him, Takumi. But not for the love reason, but it was for because he always protected her and helped her a lots back then.
She sighed, "Oh, what should I do...I don't want to give him a hope. But now, again...I taken along with his phase..." Indeed, Takumi's deed made her felt happy, all of her sadness gone away, but she knew that it was wrong. She already vowed that, she won't give him any hope.
"Here!"
Minako surprised a little, a cup of hot chocolate in front of her eyes. She then turned to the person who brought it. Takumi, he showed her a big and wide smile. "Thanks..." she took the cup, "I'll change yo-..."
"My treat..." Takumi cut her words. He sat beside her, "So how is it? Go to the amusement park after the last visit? When the senior high school right?" he tried to start the conversation.
"Junior high school, actually..." she answered bitterly.
"Oh yeah, and I remembered when your grandpa told my dad to take you to the amusement park. He was surprised because, how rude, your grandpa never took you there..."
"Obviously, there wasn't amusement park in Inaba, the highest and the famous technology in there only one..." Minako sounded little enthusiasm.
"What is it?"
"JUNES, obviously!"
Takumi laughed and Minako looked little mad. She then pinched him on his shoulder, "I told you the truth! You saw it right? how Nanako was really happy when her cousin took her to that place."
"Ouch, woman! It's hurts!" Takumi couldn't stop his laugh, "But Nanako only a child. So it's normal if she was excited!"
"Oh yeah, FYI mister! The most exciting place in Inaba that I knew, only the Shrine, the hills, the river, the water fall and the forest!"
"Of course, Inaba was a small city or village, maybe..." he stopped laughing, "So, you want me to take you to a fabuolous and fascinating place in the earth, for our honeymoon?"
"Who said that I hate the nature! And who said that, I want go with you for honeymoon!" She sounded pissed off with Takumi's words. "When I told you I agreed with the wed. I never admit it!"
"You won't for now." Takumi said in his serious tone, "But I know, someday you ...andI'll wait..."
Minako couldn't said anytihing. Unbelieved, Takumi said a such words. Did he know that she really hate him and want to excecute him nomatter what. And she realized that for now, someone that filled her heart was...
CLAP
Takumi clapped his hands. Minako surprised and blinked her eyes, "Taku..." Takumi threw the empty can to the trash can and he did smiled and turned to Minako. "Just forget about that for a while, I know you still mad to me. But, just for today lets have fun together. We haven't spend a time to have fun like this again after we graduated, right!"
Minako sighed, Maybe...please God. Only for today, only today...I'll accompany him, as his friend. She then smiled and stood up, "You're right! I never go to the amusement park and It is really a kind of you. To take me to this place, the little villagers girl. You're such a great gentleman, Mister. I envy with your girlfriend."
"Oh, I doubt that she wouldn't mad or rather she would be happy to hear and see this." Takumi smiled and took one of her hand. "And you know what, Madam? You're the cutest villagers girl that I ever met."
Minako pinched his arm, "Stop teasing me!"
"Yo're the one who started it."
"I'm not!"
"Yes, you are."
Minako crossed her hands, "Just cut it out already! And let's we ride another attraction!"
"Your order milady!" he dragged her to the flying dumbo.
It's noon already and Akihiko still stayed in the gym. After his class ended, he went to the gym and tried to catch a little game. He wondered, why Minako didn't come to see him. As he remembered, when he walked at the lobby with Jin, he saw her ran to the lecturer room, with a little bag on her hand. He doubt that, she brought a lots of chocolates.
He then remembered, he didn't like a sweet thing and it's normal if he didn't get any from her. She knew already he disliked sweet things, wait..when he told her that he dislike it. Did she hear it from Minato or Mitsuru or his friends who tried to match maker both of them, he wondered. Oh well, but it wasn't his bussiness. It depended on Minako, she wanted to give him a chocolate or not.
But unexpected, he looked pissed off because she didn't come to see him. How childish, but it was true. He wanted her to come to see him, he wanted her to talk to him, he wanted her to smile to him, he wanted her stayed by his side, he wanted her stayed on the place where he could looked after her. Wait, are he nuts! He wanted to dominate her life, she was belong to him...Akihiko snapped his own thought, aww...how rude that he had this kind of feeling. So he was really fallen to her.
Tried to forget all the things in his mind. He went out from the gymand tried to do a little jog on the way home. I promised that I'll protect her no matter what..but what's wrong with my mind? Akihiko strached his hair and groaned, "Aaargh...it's more difficult and complicated than the math!"
"Yo! Sanada-san!"
A voice made him woke from his own thought, he turned around and saw the person that he knew, Akira Rei, Minako's friend. He smiled to Akihiko, "Go home already? Mind if I tag along?" Akihiko nodded for agreement.
A silent night, for both of the guys. Both of them weren't close enough so it's normal if there a little awkward time between them. The city filled with the white colour from the snow combined with the pink and red colour. It tried to show the valentine day.
Akira looked at Akihiko, he looked a little confused, he wondered if he already received a chocolate from Minako, the special chocolate. "So, rarely to see you go home at this kind of time, especially when valentine. Don't you have any date? You're famous enough to get the girl's attentions, right?" he asked the silverette.
"How about you?" he asked back.
"Ah, what a bad luck day for me. She rejected me..." Akira smiled.
"She?"
He then sounded serious, "But, I won't give up, maybe...I won't lose from you Sanada..."
Akihiko kept silent for a while, he didn't understand what Akira said to him. She? What did he mean with she? I never talked with the girl who he knew except...then he opened his mouth a little as he knew what his mean. So it's Minako...he thought.
"Today, I received a chocolate from her. And I knew, the taste of the chocolate, it showed that she didn't have a special feeling for me, only a friends." Akira smiled, "I envy you..."
"Lucky aren't you?"
"Why?"
"I didn't get any...from her..."
Akira shocked, "Are you serious? You're not lying right?"
"Of course, why I must lie?"
"Because she..."
"She didn't come to see me, she didn't call or send a text message..."
"Stop joking around...so where did she go?"
Come on...please give me a review... m(=_=)m
