Me: Meanie! Yeah,this is dedicated to Kitty-chan!Or my first reviewer to request something, Kittyx5469!So Enjoy!
And another thing people,I was thinking of changing my pen name! Not like ninja name or anything,but something that came to my mind!Please tell me how you feel about this!
Hanabusa Satsuki was not one to get sick that easily. Neither one to get a nightmare about his father and get up screaming beside his girlfriend of three years, Kato (to be Hanabusa) Rumi, in turn scaring her. Nor one to catch the flu or get sick in any other way. Did he say that already?
"Rumi-chan" he whined into his phone, lengthening the 'chan'.
"Yes, but-"
"Still, I don't want you to get sick-Achoo !"He took a tissue out of the box near him, and picked up the empty box near him and looking at the numerous boxes fallen on the floor, before throwing it onto the floor in a 'un-gentlemanly' way. He was really lucky he had his own apartment now (And was saving up to buy a house for him and Rumi). He wondered how his mother would react to the mess if it were made in her house. He shuddered at the thought.
"Okay….fine..."
"Rumi? Could you bring me some tissues on your way?"
"No, no. My cat likes scratching the boxes and eating the tissues…."
"Um, I adopted a cat someday..?...And I let him stay outside the house?"
"No…..Am I allergic to cats..? Why would I say that to you?!And did I say cat? I meant hamster…."
"Of course, I wouldn't buy something you're allergic to! I meant a-a "He heard the beep on the other line and sighed, getting up to clean up his apartment.
XxX
That conversation with Rumi was half-an hour ago. And now, he was looking over at his neat and tidy flat. The boxes were neatly stacked into a trash bag with the tissues in the wire bin next to his bed. He had taken off his clothes off the floor and the socks hanging on the rim of his lamps, and had put them for the laundry in the basket.
The rotten and dried up flowers in the vase had gone into the trash bag, which with much difficulty taken down to the garage where the bin was. The dishes and culinary tools were in the dishwasher. And last but not the least he had disposed of all the takeaway boxes and made his bed, in which he was sitting like a nice innocent little school boy, his eyes closed peacefully. He remembered a very funny incident that had happened with both of them some days ago, vividly.
"….And so, I taught her how to do it!"
"That's very good." He replied. They had come to the mall (with him agreeing, of course) for some hopping and were currently in the book store cum cafe, looking for some new books to buy, and a Justin Bieber song suddenly came up, making the group of girls beside them in the coffee section squeal loudly.
"That's just…..gross" His head jerked up, on hearing a comment come from his partner. He smirked. At least now he was sure that his girlfriend did not like Justin , he wasn't complaining.
"I know, Rumi, I know. "he replied, sighing as he turned over the page of his book.
"May I take your order, please?" a voice interrupted, as his eyes looked for the source, to see a waiter dressed in a black waistcoat, crisp white shirt ad dress pants with his slicked back and his hands on a small notepad. The thing that annoyed him was his eyes were constantly flickering a bit too much towards his girlfriend, who was now innocently looking through the menu.
"Rumi-chan?" He asked her opinion.
"I think I'll like the Banana n' Chocolate smoothie and your special honeycomb shortcake with ice-cream.
"So, we'll have two Banana n' Chocolate smoothie, a Honeycomb Shortcake with ice-cream and a Pistachio Baklava." He noticed the waiter smirk.
"I'm sorry sir, but we're out of baklava. May I interest you in something else?"
"Then it's two Banana n' Chocolate chip milkshakes, a Honeycomb Shortcake and ice-cream and a Mille Feuille." Closing the menus, he took the menu that Rumi was giving to him, and gave the stack to the waiter, before smiling smugly at him.
"And fast please." Within ten minutes, their orders had been received.
"Yum…!"Rumi exclaimed as he chuckled, seeing her childishly chose an orange straw and sucked on her milkshake, before taking a bite of the Mille Feuille / Napoleon. In return, he took a bite of her bee hive shaped cake; honey drizzled all around it, as she hit him lightly.
Paying for the deserts, and the books they went outside and walked down the stairs (Rumi said it would be good exercise).When they were on the second floor, something caught Rumi's eyes. Something bright and colourful with lots of kids playing in it.
"Satsuki-kun! Look" She pointed randomly to a play pen for kids, where there were balls all over in pool and the kids were playing with the wet balls. Hanabusa chuckled. Her eyes had a longing in them, and he ran away into a nearby store, after telling her to wait there.
In about three minutes, he came running back, his wallet out and a sheepish grin on his face. She crossed her arms, glaring at him.
"Sorry Rumi-chan! It's a surprise! Now let's go! "He pulled her out of the mall and left her at Ichigo and Kashino's shared apartment, telling her that he would pick her up later.
A bell rang in throughout his flat.
"Coming!"
" Hi!"
"Sir, your package…?"
"Yes! Where do I have to sign?"
~An hour later~
"Satsuki-kun?! Why am I blindfolded again?"
"It's a surprise!"
"…"
"I'm going to take my hands off now, okay? No cheating!"
Her eyes fluttered open to find herself in the crème coloured bathroom, the ceramic tub filled to the brim with water and balls.
"…You did this..?" he nodded, grinning like an idiot.
"F-For me?"
"No, for Kashino" he got swatted on the shoulder.
"Ow! Of course, I did it for you! I don't want to be in a tub with Kashino!"
She squealed (Obviously ignoring the last sentence) and jumped into the tub, clothes and all. He followed suit and they splashed around all night.
He chuckled, remembering how much of a child Rumi was.
"Why are you chuckling, Rose boy? "He heard a voice. He jumped out of the covers in an instant, his surrounding whirling around him, as his left hand reached out to his temple, lightly massaging it. He felt two warm hands on his chest, before sitting on his bed with a 'thud'. Opening his eyes, he found his concerned and angry girlfriend who was sitting beside him.
"H-Hi Rumi!" He earned a glare from his girlfriend before she picked up four grocery bags and her set of keys to his flat, before walking away into the kitchen, her mandarin tresses swaying behind her.
This was going to be too long of a day…
XXX
"Uh… Rumi? Are you sure this is….edible?" He asked in the nicest voice he could muster, while having a coughing fit.
"What are you trying to say?" she said, her eyes narrowing.
" Nothing! It's delicious!" He said, stuffing two spoons of the said black beans soup down his throat.
"Why were you chuckling earlier?"
"Huh?" he said absentmindedly, as he added some pepper into the soup.
"Why were you chuckling when I came in?"
"Oh that! I just remembered the incident with the balls. You know, I think that's why I got sick. "he said in a thoughtful way.
"So you're saying that you got sick because of me?"
"Maybe." he replied, sipping some more soup through his cup.
"Oh how gentlemanly of you, Dear Sir!" she said, dramatically. He chuckled before bringing her knuckles to his lips, before gently kissing them and massaging them in a soothing way. She closed her eyes, before resting her head against his chest, her arms around him and the heat of his body generating to hers.
"Sat-kun?" His lips curled into a smile at the nickname.
"Hn? "
"Why do you like me?"
"Correction, Rumi: Why do I love you."
"Okay, fine .Why DO you love me?"
"Reality is…I don't know" He felt her flinch against his torso, before hurrying to make her understand.
"I mean, you're smart, athletic, beautiful , and fun to be around, and this list could go on and on and on…" he announced, his narcissism showing through a bit."-But I don't know which of these or all of these make me love you. If you had asked me this before we won the Grand Prix,I could have made a long list about it, but now…well I just don't know."
"You think I'm pretty?"
"Correction again, Rumi: I said you're beautiful" he corrected her before dipping his head to plant his lips gently on hers, as she responded almost immediately. Her arms reflexively made their way through to his hair, stroking his hair while his tightened around her waist, securing her to him.
He broke away, before turning his head away from her, before coughing into a small towel beside him, as she soothingly rubbed his back.
"Side- effects of having a cold, huh?"
"The medicine must be wearing off. I think I's time for your next dose.I'll get a spoon." He held on to her wrist, before pulling at it to bring her back to him, her hitting his chest with and audible 'thud'.
"I think I like this better than that medicine. "He announced.
"Y-You do?"
"Uh-huh"
He brought her closer, her hair tickling his nose, his arms entwined in those golden strands, the hair changing its colours in the hues of the sunset entering from the window, before they both drifted off into a peaceful dreamless sleep.
