Disclaimer: Pretear and all its characters do not belong to me. Any reference or similarities to other fanfic stories are coincidental. No Flames please!!!
Throughout the day, Himeno kept receive tulips from her mystery admirer. She got a red one when she was watering plants in the gardens, a pink one when she was studying, and a purple tulip when she was having lunch and even when she was taking a bath!
She finally ended up in the statue garden after lunch.
"Who keeps on giving me these tulips?" she thought to herself. "They're very sweet, but I want to know who is behind all this?"
"Can it be Hayate?" Her heart leapt at the suggestion.
"No, it can't be. He's not that romantic," Himeno reasoned to herself.
"Then who can it be?"
She sat by herself pondering.
***
Hayate stood in the shadows, watching Himeno in deep thought.
"What is she doing here by herself?" he thought. "Doesn't matter, this would be the perfect time to tell her about the dinner plans."
"What am I thinking? She'll laugh at me for sure!" argued Hayate to himself. "She has a boyfriend, don't you remember?"
He turned away from Himeno in disgust.
***
Sitting down for afternoon tea, Himeno was interrupted by a maid. She once more held out a tray with a single white tulip on it.
"This just came for you, miss."
Himeno turned towards the maid.
"Do you know who sent them?"
The maid shook her head. "Sorry, miss, I don't know. A delivery truck comes to drop them off."
"Oh."
Disappointed, Himeno took the offered tulip and saw that there was a tag on it.
"I wonder what the tag says. Maybe it has the name of the sender!"
Excited, she eagerly read the writing on it.
'Wear something special tonight. I will pick you up at 7pm.'
"Pick me up at 7?" asked Himeno. "7pm tonight? Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe it!"
She looked at the clock on the wall.
"It's half past four already! I only have two and a half hours to get ready!! Oh no!!!!"
Taking the tulip and its tag with her, Himeno ran out of the room.
***
Just before seven, Himeno smoothed out her dress. Mawata and Mayune were circling around her like a mother hens, checking for any mess or loose threads.
"It's ok, Mawata. Stop that, Mayune! It's nearly seven! He'll be coming soon!" scolded Himeno.
"But, Himeno! This is your first date!" argued Mawata.
"And your first secret admirer!" said Mayune.
Himeno blushed. "And what about you? Don't you have special Valentine's dinners to go to yourselves?"
Mawata and Mayune looked at each other and both shook their heads.
"Our dates don't start til eight. So we have plenty of time to help get your ready!" Mayune said.
Then, the doorbell rang. The three girls squealed in delight and rushed to the foyer.
"Let me pass, Mayune! I have to open the door!!" cried Himeno, pulling her skirt hem out of Mayune's hands. With a great tug, Himeno tripped and the door opened.
It revealed Hayate and Himeno crashed into his chest.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry!! It was just an accident!" babbled Himeno without looking up.
A familiar smell wafted close to Himeno's nose and she looked up.
"YOU!!! She yelled and stepped back. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
Calmly looking at Himeno, Hayate answered, "Aren't you expecting your date, Himeno?" With that, he whipped his hand out from behind his back to reveal a bouquet of lavender tulips.
"YOU!!!" Himeno yelled again. "YOU SENT ME THE FLOWERS??? HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?"
Hayate winced at the tone. "Himeno..please.." He looked at her pleadingly.
Himeno looked at him and how he had gone to so much effort for tonight. She sighed. He did look so handsome right now. She walked up to him and reached to kiss him
"Thank you, Hayate," she said shyly.
Hayate blushed furiously and shifted his weight. "Uh. um. uh. these are for you." And he thrusted the bouquet towards her.
Himeno took the flowers from him and lifted them up to her nose to smell the wonderful scent. "They're lovely, Hayate. I'll go put them in water right now!"
She left the foyer, leaving Hayate still at the door with Mayune and Mawata standing near the stairs.
Mayune cleared her throat and said, "So, Hayate, I guess we don't have to ask you to tell us something about yourself?"
Hayate nervously shifted his weight again. "Urgh. I guess not."
Mawata giggled. "Don't worry, Hayate, you don't have to be nervous with us. We're your friends, remember?"
"Uh. yes.." Hayate was saved from saying anything else when Himeno came back.
"Let's go, Hayate," Himeno took his arm and led him out. She looked behind her towards her sisters. "Don't wait up for us!"
***
"So, Hayate, where are we going?" Himeno asked as she got into the car. Hayate entered through the other side.
"Umm. we're having a double date with Sasame and Takako at Chez Pierre's. I hope you don't mind," replied Hayate.
"No! I don't mind. I can't believe we're going to Chez Pierre's! I've never been!"
Hayate went silent and the trip to the restaurant was quiet.
***
The dinner went pretty well. Sasame and Takako were too wrapped up in each other to pay attention to what happened on the other side of the table. Or rather, what did not happen.
Hayate had been very quiet, not knowing what to say to Himeno.
Himeno was just as quiet and Hayate was not helping the lack of conversation.
When dinner finished, both Himeno and Hayate let out a sigh of relief. The disastrous date was coming to an end.
***
Walking down the street, the estranged couple stood as far apart as the footpath allowed them to be.
"What does he think of me?" worried Himeno. "How will I ever tell him my feelings?"
"This is disastrous! How did Sasame ever convince me to do this!" thought Hayate.
Silence.
***
As they were passing the statue garden in Himeno's home, Hayate decided enough was enough and spoke up.
"Ahh. . . Himeno. . ."
Himeno stopped and turned, "Yes, Hayate?"
Hayate cleared his throat, "This wasn't a very good Valentine's Day was it?"
Blushing, Himeno quickly replied his question, "No! It was great!" She sobered and looked down at the ground. "Except for the dinner."
Hayate cleared his throat again, nervous and embarrassed. "Well, I'm sorry for that, it's just that. . ."
Himeno looked up, "What?"
"Well. . . Iwantedtodosomethingspecialforyou," he let out quickly.
Himeno blushed again, more furiously and bent her head in awkwardness. Suddenly she felt Hayate lifting her face to be inline with his.
"I. . . I. . . I really like you," stuttered Hayate.
Surprise came over Himeno. She always thought he hated her, especially with the teasing he always gave her.
"But. . .your teasing!" exclaimed Himeno.
Hayate turned his face away, "Well; I didn't want you to know, but now. . ."
"Now?"
"Now. . . you have a boyfriend. . ." continued Hayate, "And I wanted you to know how I feel."
Confusion replaced Himeno's surprise. "A boyfriend? What do you mean?" asked Himeno. "I don't have a boyfriend.
The confusion spread. "You don't? But you said that you did!"
"When did I say that I have a boyfriend?"
"A few days ago!!!"
*** Flashback ***
"I was kinda. wondering. what you had planned for. you know." she stuttered out, now embarrassed.
Hayate pretended to act indifferently. "What do you mean? Planned for what?"
"For Valentines!" Himeno shouted out. She then blushed furiously at her outburst and bent her head. Slowly, her eyes looked up from under her spiked hair. "Well. do you?"
"For Valentine's Day?" repeated Hayate. "No. Why? Was there something or someone you wanted me to meet? Do you have a secret admirer? He better not be getting too close to you!"
"No! I don't have a boyfriend!" Himeno quickly answered. "Well. kinda."
"What do you mean, kinda?" Hayate's face became red and he started to lean over her. "You either have a boyfriend or not! Which is it?"
Himeno shyly duck under Hayate's leaning body. "Well. I don't know if he's my boyfriend or not. We haven't said anything about going steady. but he admitted that he like me!"
*** End of Flashback ***
"Does that mean you don't have a boyfriend?" asked Hayate.
Himeno cleared her throat. "Well, I meant what I said before. I like this guy and I think he likes me. . . Well, I now know he really does like me. . ."
The wheels in Hayate's head started turning. "You mean, you just found out about his feelings?" he asked Himeno.
"Can this person Himeno like, be me?" thought Hayate. "I hope so!"
Embarrassed, "Yeah. . ." she replied. "Just a few seconds ago." Himeno looked up at Hayate expectantly.
Hayate's heart fled for joy and he looked down at her. Seeing her beautiful face, Hayate blushed and gathered Himeno into his arms.
"Well, I know that that guy is certainly glad," Hayate whispered to Himeno.
He bent his head and Himeno closed her eyes, guessing at what might come.
And they softly kissed.
THE END.
