Author's Note: This is my first FuuXFerio fic! I love those two, and so therefore I've decided to make a fic! I apologize if the characters are a little or a lot OOC, but you understand, it's for the sake of the story. But I may be wrong… Anyway! No flames please! Although I do accept and welcome constructive criticism ;) I don't really know how to summarize this… But please read! I promise it's a treat for FF fans out there:p

Disclaimer: I don't own Fuu, Ferio, or any other MKR character… sobs Except for the nurse and Mrs. Hajime, who, by the way, is the student council adviser. :p

Story Title: It All began with a Hit on the Head

Chapter Title: Fuu Gets Hit (urgh.. how creative… )

Author: Xaphania49

"Oh, I do hope I'm not late," Fuu Hououji muttered to herself as she walked across the grounds to the student council office. She had just finished cleaning her classroom on account of being a Wednesday cleaner, and hurried to the office, which was located on the other side of the ground.

"OI!" somebody yelled. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

It was too late. A soccer ball whizzed through the air and hit Fuu cleanly on the side of the head.

"Ouch…" she mumbled when she came to. She could blurrily see some faces swimming into view.

"We'd better take her to the clinic," a male voice said, sounding worried.

"I'll do it," another voice said.

Fuu felt herself being lifted up, bridal style, her vision gradually becoming clearer. "Where am I? what about my meeting?" she asked groggily.

"I'm taking you to the infirmary, Fuu-san," a cheerful voice said.

Fuu turned her head to face the person carrying her. The most beautiful golden eyes met her emerald ones before she passed out again.

"Are you all right now, dear?" the motherly nurse asked when Fuu regained consciousness. "You have quite a bump on your head."

"My head is aching," Fuu whispered. Suddenly she sat up. "The meeting!" she looked wildly around, as if searching for the student council adviser.

"Take it easy," the nurse said, easing Fuu back on the bed.

"But my meeting…" she protested weakly.

"Don't worry, this young man here has already informed Mrs. Hajime." The nurse gestured to the boy standing beside her.

"Thank you, Ferio-kun," Fuu smiled at him, remembering him as the boy from all her classes. Once again, those golden eyes met hers.

"I'm sorry I hit you, Fuu-san. It was an accident," Ferio apologized.

Fuu wondered about his eyes. She hadn't noticed them before. "It's all right Ferio-kun. Demo… Where are my glasses?" she looked at the bedside table.

"Your glasses!" he exclaimed. He dashed out the infirmary.

"Now, when you get home tonight, I want you to go to sleep right away, get a good night's rest," the nurse instructed. "You need a decent sleep, and you should not go to school tomorrow morning."

"But…" Fuu protested.

The nurse tut-tutted. "It's only one morning."

The door opened and closed softly, and Ferio joined them, looking remorseful. "I'm sorry," he said, holding out bits of shattered lenses, and the bent frame.

Fuu took the remains of her glasses from him, looking doleful. "It's all right," she said softly. "I needed new ones anyway."

Ferio looked contrite, he really did.

The nurse bandaged her head and admonished Ferio. "Young man, see to it that this young lady gets home safely, all right?"

"Yes, Ma'am," Ferio said. The nurse bustled away.

Fuu sat up gingerly, and Ferio helped her off the bed. "I brought your bag," he told her.

She smiled at him gratefully. "Thank you." She made a move to get it, but he stopped her.

"I'll carry it for you." He waved a hand in front of her face. "Um… Are you still able to see without your glasses, Fuu-san?"

"Yes," she replied, standing up. Ferio held her elbow and guided her out. The school building was empty, save for a few stragglers.

"Where's your stop?" her asked her, once they were outside.

"I just walk home," Fuu said softly. Then she looked alarmed. "Please give me my bag, Ferio-kun. I'm going to go home now."

He grinned. "I'll walk you home. Something might happen, and it's getting dark," he pointed out.

"Oh," she said, a faint blush creeping up her cheeks. "Th-thank you… Very much."

This was not lost on Ferio. The afternoon sun was setting, and a breeze played with Fuu's sandy hair. He smiled to himself, and taking her elbow, began to walk.

"Ferio-kun?"

"Mm?"

"You're going the wrong way. The way to our house is on the opposite side."

He turned red in embarrassment. "Sorry bout that."

Fuu only smiled at him, and they resumed walking. For quite a time, there was silence between them.

"Ferio-kun?" Fuu's timid voice broke the silence.

"Hai, Fuu-ch— Fuu-san?"

"Do you mind if we get a milkshake or a soda? I'm terrible thirsty. My treat," she hastily added, "for walking me home."

"Aw, you don't need to treat me, Fuu-san," Ferio said, smiling warmly at her. "But if you're that thirsty, I don't mind.

Fuu returned his smile. He sure is cute, she thought, smiling. A chilly wind blew, and she gave an involuntary shiver. This was not lost on him again, and he quickly shrugged off his jacket and placed it around her. She looked surprised and gratified.

"Thank you very much, Ferio-kun," she said, touching his arm. "But aren't you cold?"

He felt her fingertips through the sleeve of his uniform, sending a pleasant tingle down his spine. "Not really," he said, and grinned. He winked at her and said mischievously, "I'll just hug your tight when I feel cold, seeing as you have my jacket."

Fuu blushed furiously. Ferio chuckled at this, and took her elbow again.
